Updates on Top 10 Lists for The Walking Dead (First Eight Seasons Only/SPOILERS)

When I started this blog, The Walking Dead was a major talking point, seeing as it is one of my favorite shows ever. Since then, however, I have become immensely frustrated with how the show progressed these past few years, and with its popularity gradually declining, I started to shift my focus away to other things. As such, I haven't done any predictions or other special posts for Season 9, even as many big things were happening. Despite Season 9 doing a lot to improve the show and managing to regain some of its former glory, I still feel that my desire to post about it has all but evaporated and it's going to take a lot more to bring it back. That said, I did have my top 10 lists, and pre-Season 9, each list has made substantial changes, so regardless of how I feel about the show right now, I still feel that I must put these out there. For this post, all three lists will be presented with the new additions and changes that I made. Note that these are based around Seasons 1-8 as Season 9 has not concluded yet. Once it does, expect a new post like this one if any changes are made. Now, without further adieu, let's begin:
