Stephanie Burdo from The Koalition writes: "For those of you who have spent a fair amount of time caught in The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones series, you are surely no stranger to characters dying, plot twists and gut wrenching season finales. One thing you may have failed to notice however, is the immunity you may have developed to these sad, SAD events. As the mid-season premier for The Walking Dead reached its conclusion I thought to myself, I feel nothing. Could it be that we simply dont care enough about the characters who die off to feel any angst? Or are we simply so trusting in the artistic direction of these tales that we detach from it emotionally and leave it up to the writers? The answer to both of these questions is yes; we are detached and trusting. If you dont believe me, play a Telltale game."
