Walking Dead Season 4

Who else is excited for the multitude of new episodes for the TV season for all their favorite shows? I am in particular excited about the return of The Walking Dead with their 4th season this year! This year we will be getting even more love than last year since the new season will be a whopping 16 episodes rather than what it previously had been last season with 13 episodes. This year Season 4 kicked off on October 13th, the season premiere had an amazing 16.1 million viewers. With 16.1 million viewers the new episode broke the previous record held by the season 3 finale of 12.4 million viewers. With these outstanding numbers The Walking Dead has secured a solid spot as the most viewed show in basic cable history. Just yesterday October 27th we just had episode 3 air (going to watch it as soon as I finish this post! lol). This year we will get 8 episodes up to December 1st and then it will take a dreaded 2 month break and return to airing the final 8 episodes of the season in February 2014!

In this highly anticipated new season, we see Rick and the group of survivors fostering a thriving community in the safe haven of the prison. Sadly, in this brutal world, happiness is short-lived with the danger from walkers and other outside threats along with numerous dangers brewing inside their own fences. With the joining together of prison dwellers and Woodburyans not everyone is going to get along. In fact, there's going to be some major head butting, and some new alliances that form from the merging of the two factions. The group's home and new way of life will be thoroughly tested, and their struggle to survive has never been so perilous.

With this new season there will be several additions to the cast this year. The lovely Christian Serratos from the Twilight series will be introduced playing the new character of Rosita Espinosa. Rosita Espinosa is a tough girl in her mid 20's. Rosita is a character that originated in the comic series, where she and two friends, Abraham and Eugene, meet up with Rick and his crew at Hershel's farm. Rosita, who is likely to be introduced later in the season, will also probably be introduced at the same time as Abraham and Eugene. Also there is Larry Gilliard Jr. who will be playing the character of Bob Stookey. Bob Stookey is another character who originates from the comic book series, Bob is a new group member who was a former army medic. With the show they changed his character from a mid 50's  Caucasian to a African American in his mid to late 30's. And lastly Alanna Masterson will be introduced as a new survivor who will show up sometime around midseason. Little is known about the character officially, though it's said she'll be a recurring character this season.

This season looks to be very promising and just as good if not better than the last 3. Perhaps the best tease on what to expect in Season 4 came courtesy of Gimple at Comic-Con, when he told the fans, "It's going to get insane very quickly." So I hope you all enjoy the upcoming madness as much as I will.
