The Walking Dead Season Finale

WOAH!

What a season freaking finale!
That was epic, in the sense that, everyone want to throw Rick off a cliff and finally Michonne gets her introduction, epic.

Burn baby, Burn

So the season finale started about 2 minutes before we signed off on the last episode. It showed us why all the walkers started migrating towards a certain direction in the first place, which was because a helicopter had attracted them. THEN...upon hearing the gun shot go off when Shane was shot by Carl they decided that that sounded like more fun and headed towards the farm instead..DUN DUN DUNNNN. (Somebody should just shoot Carl already, that nuisance)

After this is when the Spartan size battle began between the Walkers and the group at the farm. This consisted of an ambush in an RV, the utter destruction of the barn, and wasn't complete without a few appetizers for the zombies.

The group didn't leave this battle without a few sacrifices, which forgive me for not knowing there names, but they weren't important anyways.

By the end of this winning battle everyone splits up and conveniently meets back up all at once at the highway in the same spot they broke down at in season 1(sans 1 group member)....Andrea was the only one left behind after this mess ended..everyone else had a vehicle of some sort. She ends up being lucky however, despite all this bad luck, because she stumbles upon the weapons bag && gets to take that with her a little goodie bag from the party she just left. When you see her again at the episode, this is when Robert Kirkman's comic book character named Michonne finally is revealed.

Michonne is a key character in the comic books, but I hardly have a clue of what role she will play in the tv show. She was actually supposed to appear in the Pilot episode of the tv series but was later cut out. In the comics and in the tv show she has chained herself to 2 walkers, one being her best friend and the other her boyfriend. As retarded as this move may sound, it was actually a pretty clever move on her part to chain herself to them. In order to protect herself, from her them she cut off their arms as well as their lower jaw so they couldn't bite her. On top of that, she has the added protection from their scent which wards off other walkers =] Another weapon she has is her Katana, which she is an EXPERT in, and this is apparent when you see her swing and chop the head off of the walker that was about to have Andrea for desert. In the comics, she ends up joining the group, so we'll have to see if they head in that same direction next season.

On TOP of all this however, nothing I believe is more important than all the events that circled Rick's character in this episode. Just last episode, we had revealed to us that whatever disease these walkers were infected with could spread even without being bitten by a Walker. We didn't get much of why or how, but we saw it happen in Randall's character and Shane's as well. Well, fast forward to this episode, and we finally find out why(we didn't have to wait long did we?) Rick reveals to the rest of the group that.........

*pause for dramatic effect*

back at the CDC before they left, the doctor had told him that they had ALL been INFECTED!

After this came to light, I believe that this was the turning point in how everyone reacted and felt about Rick. Most were angry about him not telling them and they were not at ALL understanding of his reasons, which he listed, as "thinking it was better you didn't know" and "it's not important".

Lori however had reason to hate Rick even before her admitted this secret to everyone because just seconds before is when he admitted to killing Shane to her. Lori's reaction: priceless, the fool was so upset at the fact that he killed Shane that she was being totally ignorant to the fact that Shane had tried to kill Rick first and that just 2 episodes ago she was whispering in Rick's ear trying to persuade him to get rid of Shane. I swear women flip flop between their feelings quicker than hookers switch men at an orgy.

What is most unfortunate for Rick though is the fact that he is going crazy at a more alarming rate than Shane was and he doesn't even realize it.  By the end of the episode, we are left with Rick admitting to EVERYONE he killed Shane, and to make matters better, also implying to the group that they are no longer following a democracy anymore but instead a tyranny!!! Bet they all miss Shane now?


Next season: We will be brought to the prison which was showed the last second of the season finale episode. We will also find out more about Michonne and meet new characters like The Governor. Who will die? Who will go there separate ways apart from the group? Will Andrea return? Was the Helicopter coming from the prison? All important questions that I cannot WAIT to be answered next season.

My thoughts on this season: I love every second of it. I believe that this time around the director and everyone involved had a better sense of what they wanted to accomplish with the show and they went above and beyond that goal. Every episode for me contained valuable information that carried the show along and didn't drag it out like the first season. There was more blood, more action, and DEFINITELY more deaths this seasons. Overall..BRAVO && so long to Shane and Dale.

The Walking Dead Season 2....so far.

So I think we can all agree(or at least I believe so) that this season of The Walking Dead has to be by far the best one. I felt like the other season just dragged a little bit..while on the other hand this season seems to contain action in every episode.

I'm also not sure if they did this last season but I love the Story Sync feature on AMC's website where you can follow this interactive storyline with the episode as it's going on. You can learn trivia on the show, answer polls, and even join in on a Walking Dead discussion. 

One reason why I love this season is the characters in this season and how much they have changed. This season we are truly starting to see what the apocalypse is doing to them as far as changing their values and priorities. We see a lot of people's personality's changing as well...and shall I say that a lot of their "true colors" are beginning to seep through.



When it comes to Lori, we begin to see just how much of a trained housewife she must have been back before the walkers invaded. She's very old fashioned and you learn this in this season when she confronts Andrea about not doing her part of the household chores like laundry and cooking...because you know clothes that smell like snuggles really works at keeping the walkers away. Andrea of course rather stand watch for walkers but Lori on the other hand feels like supporting them by slaving away at home which to her is being much more productive. I'm sure she changes her thoughts regarding this however after Dale's death.

Dale's death was a shock to my system as I'm sure to yours. It was un-expecting and it seriously reminded me that this world was very vulnerable and that no character was safe. I kind of forgot that as the episodes continued with no deaths of main characters. However, after having him die && then immediately having the next big death appear in the next episode I had to take a a big step back mentally and just think, Woah. Dale's death was so emotional for me though because he was a strong character. To me he was the one who kept the walker's world from crossing the figurative boundary into the groups world. He tried his hardest to keep what ever they had left from the old world from disappearing, and he was the only reason Andrea is still alive today. It sucks to lose one of the root characters like Dale. I mean who else is left to give advice to Glen or anyone else in need of some wise advice from the old???

Moving on to Carl. Well he's just a lil f*ck isn't he? Man this kid has pissed me off so much this season..that was until tonight's episode...(more on that another time). He has grown up A LOT this season and really QUICKLY too. However, instead of following in Rick's footsteps he's following in Shane's. Which may be a smarter survival tactic, though you could lose your sanity in the process. You can see his mind and attitude start to change a lot. He tries to use guns whenever he can(or at least attempt to), he tries to find reasons to be at the executions of others, && then the way he coldly told poor Carol that Sophia isn't in heaven =[ was terrible. This all was bound to happen though given the world they live in and the fact that his whore of mother decided to bring another baby into this world. He had to grow up someday, and I guess this was his time.



I won't reveal anything that appeared in the episode that aired tonight, but someone however did die. && as a lil hint to those who read the comics...Carl finally gets to complete his comic book destiny, && that pivotal scene that we all thought was overlooked...ISNT.


Again let me remind you all that this show is far from predictable...&& you have to remember that what you thought should have, could have, would have happened...just may NOT.


As far as answers being revealed in this season, as of yet, there has been none concerning what was said at the CDC. However we do see a new evolution in the disease, as it begins to change and strengthen it's virility(meaning it's spread much easier now). When Randall dies @ the hands of the crazed-one aka Shane, it's revealed that you DON'T have to get bitten to become a walker...you can become one by simply dying. This is a game changer for both us and them, and it proves to everyone that this virus is still very much alive and evolving with time.

I believe that this whole seasons changes from focusing on the walkers and more on the people living in this world.You see a lot of your favorite characters become your most hated...&& you watch some of your favorite characters die.

Here's a spoiler line from tonight episode..I'll talk more about this episode after everyone has for sure watched it:

"This was you not me"

***Make sure to like the Walking Dead facebook social page to be the first to play when it finally comes out**

here's the link:  http://www.facebook.com/AMCTheWalkingDeadGame

Mid-Season premiere of The Walking Dead! 2012

So we finally return right where we left off....

 the barn massacre. 

&& the first problem we must solve is the Sophia issue..&& whether Hershel has been keeping her zombified body a secret or not....well..he WAS. Everyone on the farm knew...but like Glenn said.."Maybe this is for the best" According to him, Sophia's disappearance was different than the rest of the missing survivors...it's for this reason they end up giving her a proper burial(poor Andrea..her sister didn't get the same red-carpet treatment)

In other exciting news, b/c of Shane falling off his rocking chair last season....THERE OUT OF A HOME or a piece of LAND shall I say. Or @ least Shane is....ohh && Dale STILL hates Shane "I knew guys like him...Sooner or later he's gonna kill somebody else". Though..we shouldn't jump the gun on Shane folks...he still has a heart && he shows it in this episode.."I'm just trying to keep everyone safe".

As far as Rick, he is starting off this season still uneasy about his leadership abilities and whether he has what it takes to lead. With all the recent disasters happening in the group, he is beginning to blame himself, && lose faith in the drive that got him to where he is now.


In the meanwhile...in the background..one of the residents at the farm goes into SHOCK...&& Glenn's got 99 zombies and the live one's the issue... 

WhErE's hErShEl?!?!?

Drinking his "miracles" away..according to him the group played him for a fool. "You guys are like the plague!"

"Stop running around solving everyone else's problems! Your son needs a father who is ALIVE!"-Lori
"We NEED Hershal for the baby!!!"-Rick

 

"Oh"

Of course it is shortly after this that Lori decided to grow a pair of non existent rubber balls and follow Rick and Glen into town...when all of a sudden..predictably...BAM! She crashes(I swear the previews didn't already give this away =p) So time for a hypothetical question: Does Lori die or get saved? We must wait till next time for an answer.

Also...NEW PEOPLE stop by for a lil bit..&& then leave in a rush =\  One of the strangers left us with a quote to ponder on.. "Ain't nobody's hands clean...we're all the same in this world". The strangers main motives: to get a place on the farm for their group...unfortunately given the day that Rick has been having he has to decline their offer to pull in resources.

As the show ends we see a new side of Rick that paints him as more of a leader. He does a first during this episode that he has never had to do in this new world before, but I'll leave you to watch it yourself.

We are left with a cliffhanger this week, wondering if what the hell happened to Lori?...Stay tuned next week.

Some funny pictures to leave ya'll off with.

Prediction for this season: It's gonna be worth watching every week.

~Stephen King Bag Of Bones PT 2 Review~!

Well..finally here is my review of part 2 of Bag Of Bones.

To START off I'd just like to say that contrary to what many other reviews were online, I actually liked the movie. I thought that it was a tad-less boring than the usual made-for-tv Stephen King flick. Like I have said many times before, I am NOT a fan of Kingdom Hospital(another Stephen King flick). That movie just kept going and going and going...and it lost me about an hour due to confusion and just pure boredom.
Back to Bag of Bones: Though there was a LOT of talking between characters going on, the development of the story moved on at a pretty good pace. Revealing things quite quickly but at the same time taking 10 minutes of screen time to do so. At the beginning of the 2nd half I was fueled by my eagerness to find out more about the visions that Mike had been having, and fortunately I didn't have to wait long for answers to be revealed. The first person to reveal these answers was his cleaning lady, who shows up once AGAIN at the perfect time to see Mike lose his cool a second time. After a little persuasion by the stunningly old Mike Noonan she reveals information about, "The Curse of Dark Score Lake....the legend...the kind of stories told round the campfire..it's when people go mad."  and of course the appropriate question that was asked next is, What do people do when they go Dark Score crazy?. && in this town instead of just locking yourself in your house and owning a lot of cats, crazy is defined as killing your female kin(apparently this is a trend that is ongoing in China). This curse has plagued the lives of certain residents in the past that are listed below:

• Maddie's husband Lance trying to kill their daughter Kyra by drowning her
• Buddy's dad held his little sister under the water pump and drowned her
• Dill dean's father Fred held Billy's little sister when they were young under water at Dark Score Lake
• But Who's next?

The only drawback to all this information being revealed in the movie was that at the end of the day..or movie should I say...it wasn't that great of a reveal. There was such a lack of an awesome resolution to all the mystery they had done so well of building up to. I was actually very disappointed with the 2nd half of the movie because of this, because it made predicting from beginning to end the "DARKNESS" of Dark Score Lake and its past so easy. After the first 10 minutes of the 2nd half I could already predict what had happened to Sara Tidwell and how the town was involved in her death. I probably could have even guessed what happened to her after seeing the first half of the movie. Once again in a movie the tiring plot, of a town with secrets and people who in the past committed a wrong that they are now dealing with in the present is being played out here. I can't tell you how many times I've seen this situation in a movie, and in this movie they did little to make it stand out from the rest. In this situation, the curse was placed by Miss Sara Tidwell on all those who played a hand in the death of her and her daughter(who was an innocent bystander). The scene of her death was very brutal to watch, so seriously if anybody has a sensitivity to domestic abuse/rape situations, proceed with caution. It is in this scene that Sara says, "You and your kin are cursed. You and your sons are going to do to you daughters what you done to mind. With your own hands you will murder your own daughters, until you are all gone." It is because of the involvement of Mike's grandad in her death that now he must suffer if he has kids..ahem..wasn't he supposed to have one up until the mother got pummeled by a bus!? Well, with the reveal of the curse of Sara Tidwell also came the reveal of why his wife Jo was truly keeping her pregnancy a secret; to protect her unborn child and Mike from harm. Guess she's not a trifling ho after all like Mike had suggested for 2 hours of the movie. The reveal of his wife's secret was probably the only fact that came as a surprise to me aside from a few surprising scenes, because I really had thought she had cheated on her ignorant husband with his gay brother she had been spotted with. Along with this shocking fact came a few deaths that were also "good" unsuspecting surprises. A sudden death of a main character actually shocked the sh*t out of me and scared me a lil'(just a lil). I liked this scene in the movie though for many reasons. 1) it brought my full attention back to the movie (&& took it away from twitter's sick grasp over my mind) 2) it providing the 2nd half with the much needed twist 2 make it a bit unpredictable && 3) it helped to explain the quote, "Custody has it's responsibilities"(an underlying theme in the 2nd half)
The other death, was more of suicide, but all can be explained when you see the film.
Now to get to the end summation of the whole film. One of the best parts of this film I believe were the quotes said by a variety of characters that really made you intrigued with their meanings and helped to play a crucial part in the mystery of the film. Such quotes as,

• "This thing was always bigger than you", 
• "People Don't take kindly to having their secrets spilled",
• "A person without secrets is like a scarecrow without stuffing",
• && "I'm going to give you once chance to save your soul". 

One of the most important quotes in this movie being, "Lie still Bag of Bones". The "Bag of Bones" concept was brought up multiple times during the film. It was first mentioned when Mike had described himself as being a bag of bones with no purpose in the first half of the film. Then in the 2nd part of the film is when a novel of words was written on his laptop solely consisting of the words, "Lie Still Bag of Bones". Though this made no sense at first, this would ultimately be the resolution to the curse and the overall conflict of the movie. The way that the movie was resolved can be summed up in any episode of Supernatural.

 
Overall, I'd have to give this movie a solid 3.5/5.
It was awesome to see Pierce Brosnan on the screen again, though he disappointed me at times with his lack of mojo && his ridiculously acted "crying" scenes.. && the lil actress who played Kyra is just so damn cute && good at her role that it was a pleasure just watching her on my nice HD TV. The plot of the story was enough to keep you watching until the story unraveled and revealed itself, && the fact that you cared for Kyra && wondered where the curse will take things made it watchable till the end. There were about 3 scenes that could maybe make you jump out of your comfy couch, but there was much time in between these scenes, so for avid horror fans this may not be your top priority on your DVR. The reveal of the mystery and secrets is sub-par though the buildup is great && there are many things that make this movie both good and bad. In my opinion, I'd say just watch it to say you did and I promise you that you won't come out feeling like you wasted 4 hours of your life. (Though don't watch it all in 1 night--separating the 2 parts makes the 2nd half more entertaining and you feel less as though the movie was dragging on as well).

Similarity to The Shining:

• Setting of the story made people go crazy: For Jack Nickelson in The Shining it was the Overlook Hotel && for Mike Noonan && the other victims it was Dark Score Lake.
• Family Members were always the victims: In The Shining the families of the Caretakers during the winter for the hotel were always the victims, being killed off before the end of the winter. && in Bag Of Bones it was the father's killing their daughters.
• The father is always the crazy/vulnerable one who ends up killing. 

Differences between Walking Dead comics and TV show.

Well I’m sure the first thing that all of you are wondering who haven’t read an watched The Walking Dead series is if the comic is better than the show. In my opinion, I’d say they both have the strengths and I love them both for different reasons. Sometimes during the first season of the show I felt like they dragged certain scenes on for too long where sometimes there were periods of nothingness. This is unlike the comic where EVERYTHING happens at a much faster rate. Robert Kirkman, who is the creator of the comic, wastes no time on dragging out anything. But this is a reason why I actually prefer the show sometimes. What the show did that the comics didn’t was go into further detail about characters back stories and the relationships between the characters. It also placed new characters in the Walking Dead story that actually have played a big and important part in the story’s plot. Anyways, enough of my rambling. Let’s move on to looking at the facts. 

Here is a list of some of the key differences between the tv show and the comics:

Enjoy!

• ·         Rick meets his first zombie or rather cafeteria FULL of zombies much quicker in the comics. Unlike in the tv show where Rick doesn’t quite meet his first zombie till outside of the hospital; in the comics as soon as he wakes up and strolls down the hallways he comes across the cafeteria which is full of zombies waiting to feast like thanksgiving dinner. In the show, he avoids this whole scenario by choosing not to enter the double doors that yield the sign, “Don’t Open, Dead inside”. This sign is actually in the comics as well, but much later in the comics, so it was kind of an Easter egg put in the show for fans of the comic.

•             Rick and Morgan: So we meet Morgan in the beginning episodes of the tv show, as he was the first person Rick sees that’s alive. He’s the guy who was held up with his son and stalked his “walker” wife from the window, remember? Well in the comics this character and his son do exist, but the whole conflict with Morgan’s wife and moving on doesn’t. In the comics, she isn’t even a character at all. Also, when they Rick and Morgan part ways in the comics he leaves Morgan with a police car rather than a radio like in the show.

• ·         The campsite in the Comics is about a few hundred feet away from the City, unlike in the tv Show where Glen gets to leave the city in a fancy car due to a nice hefty sum of “product placement”. 

• ·         In the comics, the zombies are referred to as “Zombies”. In the tv show, the zombies are referred to as “Walkers” and never anything else besides “people”. In my opinion, I prefer walkers over zombies cuz it seems less generic.

• ·         In the comics, the relationship between Rick and Shane prior to the apocalypse is never explained in detail as it is in the tv show. In the show we learn quite a bit about their relationship as they sit in the police car talking during the lunch break before Rick gets shot. This scene is also preferred by me because it helps to see how Shane interacted with Rick before and after the events.

• ·         In the comics a lot of key characters from the show DON’T exist. Such as Merle, Daryl, and ED. Carol is a single mom in the comics. && There’s no T-dawg in the comics. Instead there’s a big black football player named Tyrese =]

• ·         The whole season finale with the introduction of the “TS-19” virus, DOESN’T happen in the comics. In the comics, the group never goes to the CDC, the nursing home, and they never meet the gang of Mexicans that kidnap Glenn either. The first survivors that the group meets after they meet each other is at Herschel’s Farm.

• ·         Shane and Lori’s love was a one night stand in the comics that was fueled by the depression that consumed their whole bodies after their mutual sadness with Rick’s passing and the apocalyptic events that followed. In the tv show, this love was played out quite differently. It seems as though in the tv show their love lasted more than just one night in a tent and could be the reason for a new life in the show.

• ·         Another big difference between the show and the comics is how other perceived Shane and his fate. In the comics, Dale comes straight out and tells Rick that no one trusts Shane and that Shane has a thing for Lori. Also in the comics, Shane  DIES by the end of the 6^th issue. The scene was actually pretty crazy. Rick and Shane had a confrontation in the woods which led to Shane pulling out a gun on Rick. Luckily, Carl found daddy in the Woods with his temp-daddy, and decided to shoot him in the neck because of all the pain he caused mommy and daddy.  The tv show completely avoids this whole scene because Shane is still alive and kicking well into the second season and Carl is still fond of him. Dale however, still isn’t. EDIT: WARNING! SPOILER! CARL ACTUALLY DOES GET TO BLAST SHANE'S HEAD OFF. SO HE GETS TO FULFILL HIS COMIC BOOK DESTINY. BUT THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT SHANE IS A WALKER & HIS FATHER GETS FIRST DIBS ON SHANE.

So now we just finished Season 2 and I have a post for that whole she-bang. However, I wanted to add another similarity between the comic books and the tv show and that's Michonne. 

• _Michonne_ 
•  She first appeared during the season finale of the tv show(though she was supposed to be in the pilot and late got cut out). In the comics she appeared first in issue 19, and since then has played a crucial role in the comic series. The characters played in both the comic and the tv show look similar to each other, because just like in the comics, she is sporting a Katana and 2 walkers that are chained to her. In the comics, one of these walkers was her best friend while the other was her boy friend. She uses their scents as a defense against other walkers and has cut off their lower jaw and arms to protect herself.

She's one bad-ass chick with tons of ninja sword fighting skills in the comics and i'm sure she will be in the show as well(I mean she did save Andrea's life). She is going to be a vital addition to the group especially within their new scenery(the prison).

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.
