Season 7 of The Walking Dead blew the end of October open with the second-biggest audience that has ever tuned into the show for a Sunday night airing. After the final numbers were in, Sunday night's "Go Getters" (http://forums.previously.tv/topic/50665-s07e05-go-getters/?do=getLastComment) had right around 11 million total viewers on the night, according to TV by the Numbers, which is the smallest same-night audience that The Walking Dead has seen since Season 3's penultimate installment "This Sorrowful Life." But back then, "This Sorrowful Life" brought in 10.99 million viewers, which put the episode right in the middle of the ranks for that season, and easily beat everything in Season 2. The premiere, which answered the highly discussed Season 6 cliffhanger, was seen by 17.03 million viewers, so that means a little over 6 million people fell out of regular viewing by the time "Go Getters" (http://forums.superherohype.com/showthread.php?t=521219) hit. At no point during The Walking Dead's run so far has there been a ratings disparity of that size within a single season.
