Yeah the CDC was never in the comics.

Yes but the only reason it was doing so was because it was running out of power and therefore couldn't sustain the security. So if it had an unlimited supply of energy (Solar) it could remain functional indefinitely right?

That would imply that the government was smart enough to install something like that. Instead, they were spending money on $20 hammers to bash zombies with ;)

The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman has revealed that more characters from the comic will appear in AMC's TV adaptation.

The writer told USA Today that the character of Michonne - a mysterious ex-lawyer who fights off the undead with a samurai sword - is likely to appear in a future episode.

"[showrunner] Frank [Darabont] has already hinted at the fact we'll be seeing Michonne as early as season two," he said.

However, he claimed that sinister villain The Governor is unlikely to feature in the next run of thirteen episodes.

"The Governor is probably a little ways off from season two," he admitted. "Maybe season three or beyond."

Kirkman also confirmed that he is keen to introduce the original character of Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) into the comic series. He previously admitted that writing scenes for the character in the show's fourth episode "was great".

The Walking Dead will return to AMC later this year.

Watched the entire of Season 1 last night. Really enjoyed it. I liked the fact it was realistic as possible (although camping in an open area - not so good), also liked the fact they didn't go down the route of "oh I have unlimited ammo".

I think having 6 episodes is a good idea. Forces the story to move on somewhat quicker, and ensures the episode has some action at least. But I hear that Season 2 will have more episodes, around 13 at least.

Well the reason for that is most likely that AMC never expected the show to be such a massive hit. I am certain that they regret only ordering 6 episodes but in their defense, they did not have the luxury of hindsight l when they initially placed the order for the show.

The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman has joked that he would happy to have troubled actor Charlie Sheen join the cast of the AMC adaptation of his comic series.

Kirkman, who is serving as executive producer on the show's upcoming second season, said that he thinks that Sheen is "awesome" and could have any part he wanted.

"Charlie call us, we will totally make that happen," Kirkman told The Hollywood Reporter. "We'll do whatever you want."

The comic writer even went as far as to joke that he would recast the show's lead role of Rick Grimes, currently played by British actor Andrew Lincoln.

"We'll recast you as Rick," Kirkman added. "Andrew Lincoln will find something else to do."

The second season of The Walking Dead is expected to launch this October.

IGN reports that Laurie Holden, who plays Andrea on AMC's The Walking Dead dropped some cool news on the audience attending C2E2 today. She said horror author Stephen King is in talks to pen an episode of The Walking Dead season 2.

Frank Darabont already has a close and creative relationship with the author. Darabont adapted The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile and The Mist, all from the mind of King

It was also revealed at C2E2 that Darabont will probably not direct the first episode of season 2, but he will helm an episode later in the year.
