It was a pretty good season opener! Can’t believe they killed Travis off, though…

I’m not really looking forward to another arc set in a makeshift survivor community; they all end up the same way. I’d think the road arcs work better.

…or did they? I’m thinking we might see Zombie Travis at some dramatic moment.

I see what you did there! 😉
