If your life has come to a crawl since AMC ‘s “The Walking Dead” took its mid-season break, prepare to get your pulses racing. The second half of season two is set to premiere on Feb. 12 with an episode entitled “Nebraska.”

Showrunner Glen Mazzara tells MTV:

If there’s a zombie attack in every other scene the show would play as a video game and people would not really respond to it. I think in our midseason finale, we were building to that climax to where Sophia comes out of the barn, remember that was a twist on already a big scene.

That was by design and the entire season has been designed to have huge payoffs, smaller character moments and I think that there’s a lot of things in the show that satisfies many people in the audience.

At the end of the run all fans will be happy with this show. It’s just packed, particularly in the second half of the season.

“The Walking Dead” is AMC’s highest rated show and has already been renewed for a 16-episode third season. But, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Posted below is a 30-second tease for season two’s mid-season premiere “Nebraska”:
