But yeah. I'd imagine that there will be SOME Walking Dead show, most Sunday nights, for the next three or four years?
And some nights will have TWO shows, perhaps?
And I'm happy with that.
There's no guarantee that all of these shows will be GOOD.
But I've got high hopes for Tales and ESPECIALLY the Rick show. Daryl and Isle of the Dead are a toss-up. And I worry about fear.
But has anything like this EVER happened: a show "ends," and splits into FIVE OTHER shows?
It seems like they're aiming for a TVU. I mean, I guess Marvel has a TVU, and Star Wars is headed that way, too.
Honestly, I'm happy.
How in the fuck were they gonna wrap up the entire Rick thing in 3 movies?
And, hey. Maybe fear goes sideways again, but Tales is baddass. Maybe the Daryl show sucks, but Isle of the Dead is stunning.
And, good god: all the fucking crossover potential.
I'm an utter Buffy fanatic. They teased a Giles spinoff called Ripper. They teased a Faith spinoff.
We didn't get those, but hey! At least we got...wait...a reboot that never aired. :/
We, the Buffy faithful, got a reunion photo shoot, without Nicholas Brendon.
So yeah. Way too much is better than nothing.
