All Out Dead: Join Bleeding Cool's The Walking Dead LIVE-BLOG Sunday!
After seven seasons, 99 episodes and about a million 'CORALS!", AMC's The Walking Dead is celebrating it's 100th episode in the best way possible with a little thing we like to call "All Out War." That's right, after a Season 7 that continued to find ways to poke at our last nerves like a razor sharp porcupine quill, the time has finally come for Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and his army to finally take the good fight to Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and The Saviors. And when the dust settles, there won't be enough detergent in what's left of the world to clean up this mess…so why not watch the devastation with us on Sunday night?
Whether you're a Savior or a Survivor…east coast or west coast…join us Sunday night, October 22, for All Out 'Dead': Bleeding Cool's The Walking Dead Season 8 Live-Blog. We'll be offering you thoughts, opinions, insights, one-liners, possibly dirty limericks and the occasional non-sequitur over the course of five hours (?!?!?!?).
Yup, that's right! We'll be kicking-off festivities at 8 pm ET with a pre-live blog to get everyone psyched; then things get underway at 9 pm ET with our live blog of The Walking Dead's season premiere. From 10 pm-12 am ET, we'll segue into a live blog of Talking Dead with host Chris Hardwick, who's expected to have something like 20+ cast and crew members on the show over the course of the two hours. We haven't forgotten the love for our west coast geeks, though: at 12 am ET, we'll live blog the premiere again for our "PT" time zone peeps.
The live blog site will go live at approximately 8 pm ET Sunday night, so we'll be tweeting and posting updates throughout the weekend. Make sure to keep checking Bleeding Cool's website and Twitter accounts (listed below) for everything you'll need to know.
So whether it's by rail, roller-blades or rickshaw, make sure to join us Sunday night!

Here is AMC's official synopsis for The Walking Dead Season 8, as well as for the season's first three episodes:
"Last year, Rick Grimes and his group of survivors were confronted with their deadliest challenge yet. With the comfort of Alexandria, they let their guard down, only to be reminded how brutal the world they live in can be. The introduction of Negan and the Saviors broke our group.
Feeling powerless under Negan's rules and demands, Rick advocated the group play along. But seeing that Negan couldn't be reasoned with, Rick began rallying together other communities affected by the Saviors. And with the support of the Hilltop and Kingdom, they finally have enough fire power to contest the Saviors.
This year, Rick brings 'All Out War' to Negan and his forces. The Saviors are larger, better-equipped, and ruthless — but Rick and the unified communities are fighting for the promise of a brighter future. The battle lines are drawn as they launch into a kinetic, action-packed offensive.
Up until now, survival has been the focus of Rick and our group, but it's not enough. They have to fight to take back their freedom so that they can live. So that they can rebuild. As with any battle, there will be losses. Casualties. But with Rick leading the Alexandrian forces, Maggie leading the Hilltop, and King Ezekiel leading the Kingdom — Negan and the Saviors' grip on this world may finally be coming to an end."
The Walking Dead Episode 8×01 'Mercy': Rick and his group, along with the Kingdom and Hilltop, have banded together to bring the fight to Negan and the Saviors.
The Walking Dead Episode 8×02 'The Damned': The plan involving Alexandrians, Kingdommers and Hilltoppers unfolds; as Rick continues to fight, he encounters a familiar face.
The Walking Dead Episode 8×03 'Monsters': Conflict with the Saviors leads to unintended consequences for the Hilltop, the Kingdom, and Alexandria; morality proves tricky in wartime.
