Even with “The Walking Dead’s” poppularity slipping there is talk of another spinoff. Scott Gimple, who served as showrunner for the past four seasons, who has a new title, Chief Content Officer, recently teased that more options are being discussed. Those options include more webisodes and another spinoff. Executive producer Greg Nicotero already has an idea about the spinoff he would like to see. The one thing that the comic book does great [is] when they introduce the cold weather and the winter. I had even written some webisodes that took place with a frozen zombie herd.

I’m keeping my impressions spoiler free because I feel that if anyone’s interested in watching this show should do so and judge for themselves, with that here’s my first impression.
