AMC’s The Walking Dead Spoils it for Everyone

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, EFF AMC ARE YOU SERIOUS. Being able to react with and respond to your fans is important as a brand, but sometimes it comes at a price. While The Walking Dead does a great job of live-tweeting their show, it seems they have forgotten that not everyone is watching live (especially west coast fans).

The team running The Walking Dead’s social media unleashed a horde of walking spoilers upon its unsuspecting fans when they posted a MAJOR spoiler immediately following the east coast showing of its mid-season finale (post not included here to save the rest of you).

The first time the post was sent was at 9:59pm EST but was deleted quickly enough – but not before damage was done, of course. But then they posted it again and, this time, there was a wee bit of…what’s the word…outrage. Fans on the west coast or not at a television were heartbroken to learn of the death of a major character before getting a chance to watch the finale themselves.

While AMC has since apologized, the effects are long-lasting. With memes popping up all over AMC and The Walking Dead’s official social accounts from disgruntled fans, the spoilers are hard to miss. In fact, in a MM email thread, one of our very own fell victim:
