Here Are Twitter’s Favorite Reactions to The Season 8 Premiere of 'The Walking Dead'!

AMC’s The Walking Dead broadcasted its Season 8 premiere last night and fans were beyond excited to finally return to it after the six month hiatus. To tell you the truth, I was not among them. In fact, I had no idea this show was as huge as it is. Did you know it was the highest-rated and most-watched series of the 2016-2017 season? I sure didn’t.
From what I can tell so far, this is a show that takes place in the American south, maybe, and is pretty much a modern-day Game of Thrones if the entire series took place after the white walkers melted the wall and there was less incest and more machine guns. I don’t know, man. All I know is, zombies.
Despite my ignorance, people seem to really care about TWD so I’m covering it anyway! I thought about watching the whole series myself in preparation, but since I just found out that I have 100 episodes to catch up on and nowhere near enough time to cover that, I’m going to stick to the most prolific platform for modern-day education: Twitter.
Feel free to tutor me in the comments. Help me out, you Walking Dead Heads (or however you call the show’s fans).
1. We'll see how much of a waste it was when the zombie apocalypse actually comes and daddy-o hasn't been prepped.

Me: It's the 100th episode!
Dad: That's 100 hours you've wasted.

2. Oh Morgan! So you to kick things off with a bang! (or is it? I really don't know...)
Well if Morgan is killing someone in the first 15 minutes you know this season will be ridiculous!! #TheWalkingDead @TheWalkingDead

3. You're doing it wrong. Cool guys don't look at explosions.
Incase you’ve missed the first half of the show, this about sums it up. #TheWalkingDead pic.twitter.com/RrbpWGcTOg

4. The music supervisors are clearly geniuses.
I’m just as confused as you are why “Another One Rides the Bus” was featured in #TheWalkingDead season premiere, but I’m extremely honored! pic.twitter.com/CzCqcQOiie

Me, every time someone mentions Glenn: pic.twitter.com/HJf2Wwv2zc
8. Stop saying his name! This is a little much for me to handle emotionally.

10. Glenn, Carl, Judith...who named these people?
I’m just glad they finally aged Judith, she was a baby/toddler for like 5 years meanwhile Carl’s going on 30 #TheWalkingDead

11. Apparently this show takes place in Dimension C-139, in which a zombie apocalypse has riggity riggity wrecked planet Earth.

12. Makes sense.
In this flashback Judith is 9
— Sarah Murtaugh (@sarahmurt) October 23, 2017
Michone is still 34
And Rick is 71728
It's fine #TheWalkingDead
13. Not entirely relevant, but this reminds me Christmas is coming!

20. Save the drama for your mama (because she loves TWD).
Me: I hate drama!
