Not much for now but here is the thread.

http://www.tvguide.com/News/Walking-Dead-Season2-Kirkman-1030354.aspx

No one was more flabbergasted by the breakout success of AMC's The Walking Dead than Robert Kirkman, the man who wrote the graphic novels that inspired the zombie drama.

"I'm frankly shocked. You always hope this stuff will be successful, but never in a million years did I think the TV show would catch on to this degree," Kirkman tells TVGuide.com. "Now we've got Zippo lighters and mugs, T-shirts and Walking Dead-brand gum and perfume. It's definitely strange to be at the center of what, I guess, is a phenomenon. I'm quite enjoying it, but it does startle me at times."

Despite all the aforementioned products and a forthcoming video game inspired by the series, Kirkman remains primarily focused on writing the comics and shaping the second season of the show — the latter of which has seen Kirkman move to Los Angeles to work full-time in the writers' room.

While Kirkman can't divulge much about how Season 2 is shaping up, he's clearly very excited about seeing the gang travel.

"It's going to be intense," he says. "This world will get more dangerous. In the first season, there was a lot of time spent at that camp when they were fine. Now we've taken that away from them. They don't really have that little area they can go to and protect. ... We're really going to just expand the world a little bit. We're hitting the road, they're moving, and it's going to be a lot of cool stuff."

Kirkman also promises new faces this season, some of which comic readers will recognize and others they will not. "There's definitely going to be some new blood — some new victims for the zombies, if you will," Kirkman says. "It's important to me that there are these X-factor things thrown in where people that are familiar with the comic book don't really know where things are going to go. I want to keep people guessing as much as possible, and having new characters ... definitely adds to that."

Will some those familiar faces be the family at Hershel's farm and the katana-wielding Michonne, who Kirkman previously told us he wanted to feature in Season 2? "Things are shifting every day, but so far it's looks like we're going to get to at least half of that," Kirkman says coyly.

As for the core cast, Kirkman says the romantic triangle between Rick, his wife Lori (Sarah Wayne Callies) and Rick's best friend and partner Shane (Jon Bernthal) will continue to be a key dynamic. But he also says that, because this season will be made up of a more traditional 13 episodes, the other members of the camp will work their way into the spotlight more than they have before.

The first season on DVD is at Wal-Mart now for 20 bucks.

I've wanted to get into the show for some time now, and am considering buying it (or just watching illegally online...yeah, probably that) but I've had a hard time getting into any show since Lost broke my heart.

Come on Lost spin-off!

Just steal it. The production companies are making tons of money.

Interview with Robert Kirman

THR: Looking ahead to Season 2 of The Walking Dead, is there a staff of writers or are you using freelancers as had been speculated?

Kirkman: We have a full writing staff; there are three full-time staff writers and a freelancer: Evan Reilly (Rescue Me), Scott Gimple (FlashForward) and Angela Kang (Terriers) and one freelancer.

Darabont and [new executive producer] Glen Mazzara and myself are all working on the show. All that reporting about the writers being fired and going freelance, that was all something that never really happened.

Are they still looking at Halloween to bring this back? :(

That's the word right now. I hate they waited so long to bring it back, especially after such a short season last year.

I really want to see the prison but I doubt there will be time to get to that with season 2. The way I see it Herschel farm will be the bulk of season 2 and then find the prison in the season finale. For those of you that read the comics maybe have the last shot of season finale be them opening the doors to the cafeteria in the prison and seeing the three prisoners (I forgot their names) in there just hanging out.

      Edge Rushers

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      Super raw, not sure he is worth a top 10 pick.  Primary a pass rusher.  A bit like Burns, very fast athletic but doesnt always follow the play.  His highlights look good but when you watch him play you can see he is just raw and needs to develop

      Personally, I am not sold on Bryce yet--and I do not think anyone is saying they are, but I don't think Ward is on table when we draft anyway.  Not even sure if I would rather have him than one of the later QBs.  I see a lot of potential in Allar, Nussmeire, Rourke, and even Hamilton from Ohio State--Milroe is intriguing, but I am not sure he is an NFL QB.  Ewers is that sleeper who falls and becomes a solid starter. I think that we sign a veteran who has played and we draft one of these project QBs. To your point:  With that in mind, I think you have to take QB off the table in round 1, and if Bryce can string 4-5 games like KC together, we still need to draft a QB in round three or so---I really think Rourke is a great fit for this offense--he is accurate and gets the ball out quickly---he impressed me vs OSU.   Reason?  I think we may have a tough decision to make about Bryce in 2 years--will he be worth $60m?  That decision is a lot easier if you have been grooming a backup for 2 years who can play. In round 1: I am hoping for PSU's edge Abdul Carter In round 2:  I would like to see us grab a DT who can rush the passer.  Walter Nolen of Ole Miss is versatile and a bit raw. I think he could be an excellent complement to Brown. In round 3:  I would love ILB Danny Stutsman from Oklahoma.  He is a beast. With 11 picks, I would package our 4th rounders to move up into the third round and take a QB.  At the moment, I think Rourke is trending upward and he has the skills Canales seems to want in a QB.  Quick processor, quick release. I would use the fifth rounders on OL.  I know that I left out WR--however, we are getting Thielen back, XL will be improved, Coker will be improved, and Moore has been surprisingly good.  Sanders (TE) has been more than expected in the passing game.  I think we need D more than WR, and maybe we can get a veteran WR to sign or find a hidden gem late.

      Wouldn't be surprised if he starts a couple Jets games this year with the way the Rodgers thing is going. Giants fans are pissed they didn't keep him lol. He might actually have a little bit of a market.
