Quite simply, the whole idea of a large world is a great concept that The Walking Dead needs to run with. Scott M. Gimple's masterplan to reinvent the show every eight episodes has been a good one, but now the show needs to continue this 'larger world' for a long time to come. Communities may come and go, there'll be good times, bad times and utterly savage times, but this larger world must remain. It's already provided the show with a fresh burst and as Rick himself stated: "If he's telling the truth, this could be the start of everything." We hope so, Mr Grimes. We hope so.
