Good news, ‘Walking Dead’ fans! AMC has officially picked up a third season of their wildly successful zombie drama. Season two opened with the strongest ratings of any basic cable premiere, clocking in an astounding 7.3 million viewers. So it seems like a bit of a no-brainer (which is good against zombies) that it would get a third season.
As a fan of the comics, I’ve spent a lot of time speculating about how far Rick and company will get this season. Now that speculation can expand into a third season. Having reached the Greene Farm in only the second episode of Season 2, does that mean that the prison is too far behind? Will they get to Woodbury? Will they meet the tyrannical Governor? And where will the story diverge from what we’ve seen in the comics? We’ve still got eleven episodes left in this season, and now we have a third to look forward to. This is a happy day for fans everywhere.
Josh Rubinstein
Born a scant few months before a little movie called “Star Wars” hit the big screen, Josh was destined to be a sci-fi fan. Raised in a suburb of Philadelphia with a geeky family, Josh has never known a time when shows like “Star Trek” and “The Twilight Zone” were not a part of his life. As he grew up, his tastes expanded into fantasy, horror and any genre that held potential for great stories. Having dreams of being a writer and director, he studied film at Temple University. In 2001, he took the plunge and moved to Los Angeles with a few thousand dollars, precious few contacts and a dream. He soon crossed paths with the growing fan community for “The Lord of the Rings” and lucked into a job working in DVD which has since blossomed into an award-winning career. Organizing events for the Ringer community, he has become a fixture in local geek culture. His work in DVD has given him the opportunity to work with many of his favorite franchises like “Star Trek,” “Farscape,” “Stargate SG-1,” “Cowboy Bebop,” and “Highlander” to name a few. Never giving up on his dream of being a writer, he published his first novel in 2004. In 2008, his DVD work won him a Saturn Award. Josh still loves exploring the nooks and crannies of Los Angeles that cater specifically to the sci-fi/fantasy geek and considers himself a “geek adventurer.” While he has accomplished many of his dreams, he still unironically hopes to one day go into space.
