AMC has provided us with preview pictures and the official description for tonight’s fourth episode of “The Walking Dead” titled “Vatos.’ The full gallery and official description are after the jump for those that want to avoid spoilers.

After the second episode of AMC’s ‘The Walking Dead’ scared up 4.7 million viewers last night, the show has been renewed for a 13 episode second season. Sharon Tal Yguado, SVP of Scripted Programming  had this possible zombified pun to say about the show’s speedy renewal:

“I wish all programming decisions were no brainers like this one. ‘The Walking Dead’ is a TV masterpiece on so many levels. We want at least 10 seasons, if not more.”

We’ve got the full press release after the break, but I’m very glad to hear that AMC is committed to keeping ‘The Walking Dead’ around for not only another season, but for 13 more episode.

Note: This review will be spoiler-free for those of you who are crazy enough to have not yet seen this episode.

Finally, the show I’ve been waiting for has arrived on our televisions!  Needless to say, I was very pleased while watching Days Gone Bye, the 90 minute pilot for The Walking Dead.  And it seems like the other 5.3 million people who tuned in to the pilot were equally as impressed.  ”But Cory, could you please go into more detail about what it is that makes this series special, without spoiling the events that take place” you ask? Why reader, I’d be glad to!
