Season Premiere && more of Season 2 of "The Walking Dead" and updates...

So as all of you zombie humpers and just plain comic book lovers alike must know that season 2 of The Walking Dead premiered last night on AMC at 9. YAYYY!!!! I myself am obsessed with this show =] && feel like they never give me enough episodes in a season! Lets hope that this season we will get a bigger gift ala Walking Dead producers.

Season 1 only had 7 episodes!!!!!! Well that was a huge disappointment when after the 6th episode they were like, "Stay tuned from next week's season finale". Isn't always unsuspecting? Any who this season might make me a lil bit happier however since it was renewed for 13 episodes this season. *super cheese* on my face right now. I kind of look like this ----> =p

Well....here are some key facts you should know entering the 2nd season for those of you who either forgot, are noobs, or are just oblivious to this information.

Oh Amy how you life was so shortlived.

• Rick Grimes is the main protagonist, husband of Lori Grimes, and father of the only cute lil' boy on the show, CARL!  Thankfully Carl has a lil girl companion on the show 2 accompany him but don't ask me what her name is because I have no clue.
• The show is based off of the once popular and now MEGA popular Comic Book series created by Robert Kirkman. Seriously folks, if you like the show then you must read the comic. 
• Shane Walsh is Rick's bf and old cop buddy before the apocalypse. He did Rick a "favor" for the period of time that he was gone by being his wives replacement for Rick. What a great friend he is? Always trying to convince Lori that he was dead and theres no hope! Wonder how he kept Lori happy during this time?
• Back to Rick, he got shot in the pilot episode, ended up in a hospital in a coma, and conveniently woke up after the whole battle went on the hospital. This explains him missing for so long before joining the group with GUNS. 
• While Rick was gone, Shane became the father figure for Carl as well which really strengthened the bond between the two. Problem is, Rick is back and Shane doesn't know how to cope with the loss of his "temporary perfect family."
• The un-deceased list(who matters) is...Amy who's is Andrea's sister(she's the blonde pictured above), Ed the abusive husband of Carol(pixie hair cut) who got an ill beat down by Shane and his roid rage, && Jim(who is a sweetheart in real life) who ties himself to a tree to be left after being bitten.
• The CDC was a dead end for the group though the learned now where it the disease originally came from....Jenner(a scientist) also whispered something into Rick's ear right before he left....(dun dun dunnnnnn)...could it be a cure? a safe haven? Lori's pregnant with Shane's child?? We find out this season.
• Insider Tip: There are webisodes online on AMC that give you a look into how the most popular walker person aka Hannah became a zombie && the events when the outbreak first hit! You can find her picture on the post.

Now this season(#2) you can expect to see the potential un-death of a main character, a lot of blame being put on Rick(and subsequent guilt) and a LOT of time spent on a farm....MOOOOOOOO.

Season Premiere of Season 2 review:
I truly think the season opened with a bang. We got an hour and a half long episode which is always a good thing for premieres because it is a long enough amount of time to figure out what happened last season and connect it to the premiere of this season. It also provided us with a reminder of why we watched this series in the first place, by living up to its name in a BIG WAY. The episode itself had a lot of emotional twists and turns and you have to love the fact that it started right where it left off...THANK GOD...because it's been WAYY too long. I love when shows do that rather than forcing you to guess what the hell happened between that period of time. Of course the best part was and still is the zombies, and there is definitely no shortage of them. The special effects as usual are f*cking amazing and you get to truly worship the art with a very nerve-wrecking scene between a walker and one of the characters. You'll even get an "inside" peek at what the zombies look like =] Also, expect the season premiere to be focused on the children a lot and how they are growing and coping with the zombie apocalypse. The show never really focused on them before in a big way so with the season premiere they are making up for lost time. In this episode you can truly see how they are molding to their new life and the effects it's having on their personalities. Secrets will also be let out, hope will be diminished even more, and some of the followers are considering parting ways. In the season premiere we can see the group starting to separate and not be as cohesive as they were originally. I won't go into any further detail as to not give anything anyway, because I hate unsuspecting spoilers. Regardless, this season ought to be a good one and I would have to say that the majority of cable viewers agreed with me last night when they were all sitting in front of their tv's at 9pm.

Its hannah!

Also...after each encore presentation of Sundays you can catch a show called "Talking Dead" with Chris Hardwick that will discuss the latest episode with fans, producers, and actors of the show! 

Congratulations to everyone who is a part of The Walking Dead crew and cast....because....the season 2 premiered with 7.3 million viewers making it the most watched drama in the history of cable television....YIPEEEE. 


SIDE NOTE: Make sure to catch the Scream Awards tuesday night at 9pm on Spike Television. The Walking Dead has numerous nominations...not to mention it's the best damn awards show. PERIOD. Sexyy & goryy =]

A cool bonus for reading my blog =] 

11/07/11 Update: This week's episode was the most shocking one yet. First of all, Glen had sex! Guess any sex is good sex when there's not many choices. Second, Lori secretly gets a pregnancy test which of course by the end of the episode reveals she's pregnant! Well...Rick is going to be pissed about this. Bye SHANE!...and Carl is awake!!!! I love him sooo I'm happy as happy as the clam that doesn't get chosen by the hungry customer =]

11/10/11 update: After the airing of the 7th episode the show with go a hiatus and the next episode won't premiere until February 12, 2012.

11/13/11 Update: Today's episode was pretty intense. Hershel hates the outsiders. Some evidence was found concerning Sophia that re-establishes hope in some of the gang. Carol has been getting closer and closer to Daryl(who is slowly losing his mind) which makes me assume there are some feelings there that will eventually come out. A big secret was discovered by Glenn, think harvesting, that more info will be revealed about in the next episode && Andrea has a shitty shot.

Mid-Season Finale update: Wow...so the mid-season finale left off with quite a shocker. First of all, Shane is definitely going off the deep end and he is starting to believe he is some tyrant nowadays. He's more like Napoleon than a ex-cop these days. Especially since he heard the news about Lori's pregnancy, no thanks to Rick. Of course he thinks the baby is his, but the triflin hoe says it ain't and it won't ever be. Honestly, I think he should just tell Rick and then that baby will for SURE be his. We also get to find out where the hell Sophia has been this whole time, so no more playing "Where in the US in Sophia". Hershel has even been able to manage making himself look even more crazier this episode as well. This whole "People" instead of "Walker" thing has me freaking scratching my head. Obviously, he needs some glasses cause this guy in near-sighted. Next season we should all be looking out for how these characters either crumble or rise above with all these revelations and issues.

Season 2 Spoilers: You should not expect the group to stay together, they WILL try to branch away from eachother.
Lori's pregnancy isn't what the CDC doctor whispered into Rick's ear.
Dale and Shane's issues will come to head in the second half of Season 2.
They will also be revealing what happened to Merle after he cut his hand off.
