The Walking DeadThere Has To Be Hope

The Walking Dead can be bleak, violent, and grim, and that’s what fans want, but within that, there has to be something more. There has to be something that drives the survivors on, something hopeful, or else why the hell do they even bother? It doesn’t to be much, but there needs to be at least a faint glimmer every once in a while. Whether that’s getting Eugene to Washington DC, getting the whole group back together, finding a place to live, or even something as small and vague as carving out a life in this chaotic world, even if it looms far off in the distance, there needs to be a ray on occasion. Season 4 was far better about this than it had been—season 3 was notoriously oppressive in its utter hopelessness—and season 5, at least according to what producers have said, looks to continue this.

What do you want to see from The Walking Dead season 5? Are you still watching? Do you like the direction they’re going, or would you like to see them shift gears? Let us know down in the comments.
