10 Most Emotional Moments On The Walking Dead

10. Finding Sophia

The Walking Dead is no stranger to extending a storyline past its natural lifespan, and season two set the tone for this with the near endless quest for Sophia, Carol’s daughter. The gang searched high and low, and all that trekking around the forest felt endless.

To the show’s credit, they sure paid it off well, with Shane opening up Hershel’s barn to let out the secret stash of walker’s held there, and proceeding to blow them away. After the gunfire settled one last zombie shambled out, and they’re stunned to see it’s Sophia.

Since this was still in the early days of the show there was hope she might be found. The Walking Dead is the show where hope goes to die – and technically come back to life - and this was an early hint of things to come.
