You're not alone. Although the first half of the season wasn't that great, I'm still interested in seeing where things go in the second half. They usually end up saving the best for last, or at least that has been the norm with earlier seasons.
Anyone else looking forward to The Walking Dead spinoff series AMC is working on? I guess they're doing something completely original that has nothing to do with the characters in the comics. Same universe, different city/region.
