The Walking Dead's Final Trailer Begins the End

There are only eight more episodes of The Walking Dead. The zombie show that began in 2010 will receive a bullet in the head after eight more hours of television. The show has eight hours of screen time to kill off god knows how many characters, and things don't look good for our heroes in the final trailer.

There is a lot to be excited about in this trailer. Many prisoners were taken as a result of the capture of the colonies of Alexandria, Hilltop, and Oceanside. Along with a small group of revolutionaries inside the Commonwealth proper who are unaware of the coup, there is a ragtag group of people.

The trailer suggests that the Commonwealth's governor is the last act's big bad. At the end of the trailer, there is a revelation that some of the zombies may have evolved. Would you have expected anything else from The Walking Dead?

When The Walking Dead returns, we will find out more.
