And given how disappointing “The Walking Dead” season finale was, the return of my favorite show on television couldn’t have come at a better time.
Walking Dead Rankings (Season 3 Episode 16), and Our First Post!
Hello and welcome to Pegboard. Proper introductions will be coming soon. For now, please enjoy our Walking Dead Rankings. Each week Jesse and I will rank the Walking Dead characters from least likely to die to most likely to die. If a character does perish then we earn points. For instance if Glenn dies this week then Jesse will have 11 points and I will have 7. Please enjoy and look forward to plenty of other content in the near future! (And yes, we know this week is the last new episode for quite some time, but we wanted to do this anyway).
