SEASON PREMIERE: What a thriller of a season opener. The Walking Dead doesn’t just hit the ground running to start Season 5 – it hits the ground kicking and screaming and howling and fighting. The show picks up right where last season left off, with Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and some of his post-apocalyptic comrades held captive by the deadly and deceitful folks at Terminus. And the tension it builds in the opening minutes is breathtaking. And I mean that literally, because it takes your breath away – and is in no hurry to give it back.
