Original Air Date: February 12, 2012 Five things [SPOILERS]: 1. A pretty drab first 45 minutes… – Man, that was some seriously slow television.

Original air date: October 23, 2011 Five Things: 1). Much better pacing than last week’s episode. Even though this is Season 2, TWD is still a pretty young show. This is only the 8th episode total, so when the creators serve us an awkwardly paced episode like S2E1, it isn’t inappropriate for fans to get [...]
