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"

*The Andromeda Strain Pt 2*



The capsule of who's name shall not be spoken



 Ok, well I just finished watching the 2nd part of the Andromeda Strain like literally three minutes ago and all I can say is wow. For the first like 60 minutes after the initial "boom", it was a lot of chaos in the movie. Let me just warn you that if you watch this movie you either have to know your shiz in science or have subtitles on to get half the things they are saying in this movie. There's a lot of theories being thrown around the first 60 minutes and a lot of doctoral degree in science vocab going on too. It's actually pretty confusing and makes you go then wtf caused this freaking thing?!?!? But overall the second part was definitely a lot more exciting. It had a lot more twists and turns, explosions, and oh no "____" didn't?!?! The ending though.....oh the ending...be prepared to be like okayy...so where's part 3? It had a great twist at the end, but they definitely left it open for another movie or mini-series to be made(which the by way hasn't). I don't like to have to wait 10 years to see what happens because then by then I'll forget! Anyways, I recommend this movie for scientists, sci-fi fans, and people who are bored out of their minds. By the way, Andromeda is pronounced...An-Dra-Ma-Da...didn't know how to say that until I saw the movie. So i'm giving you a little heads up before you start telling people your seeing, An-dro-me-da Strain. =] Now here's some snapshots to keep you entertained. 

Its like The Birds all over again!

So what do you think happened? I think they-re all drunk.





~The Andromeda Strain~(TV Mini series) PT 1

The Andromeda Strain Mini TV series didn't catch my eye when it first appeared on the A&E network in 2008. I actually came across this one when I was recommended it on my blockbuster account(Thank you!). Now this review is only for part 1 because that is all I have gotten in my blockbuster by mail account so far, and when it first aired on TV it was in 2 parts as well. The main cast consists of:

• Benjamin Bratt (Law and Order, Miss Congeniality)
• Eric McCormack (Will and Grace)
• Christa Miller (Drew Carey Show, Scrubs)
• Daniel Dae Kim (Lost, Crash)
• Viola Davis (Knight and Day, Doubt)
• and Louis Ferriera (Dawn of the Dead, Shooter)

The whole idea of this movie is that a supposed "alien vessel" crash lands on earth and a couple of horny teens who witness the crash take it home with them and release a deadly virus that kills EVERYONE in the town. Stupid Kids, don't you know you shouldn't touch things that don't belong to you! Especially when they fall from the sky..does anything ever good fall from the sky? Anyways, turns out, and just so you know this isn't a spoiler, that the supposed Alien vessel is from the USA!!!  It's actually a US military satellite that was sent up into space to figure out what the hell a worm hole does that they found in outer space. Curiosity killed the Piedmont, UTAH retards! There are 2 survivors however, and of course they may be the key to finding out what the hell  feeds this disease and how to stop it. I won't give anymore away though because you just have to watch it yourself. I will tell you that of course like any other sci-fi movie with an unstoppable disease, they enlisted the help of scientists, trapped them in a hole way too deep underground that words can't explain, and quarantined them from the rest of the world until they find a cure.Who knows if they will even all survive at the end b/c I haven't seen the ending. The first part of the movie leaves off of course on a cliff hanger, but it leaves me ready to watch part 2, in about 2 weeks when blockbuster decides to send the 2nd half(ugh).
Now, my feelings on the first part overall is that they did chose a great cast because for the most part they are a lot of familiar b-actors faces, especially Eric McCormack. The script however, is lacking the punch that it needs when you want to create a 4 hour long movie ( 3 hours without commercials) and make it entertaining for all those 4 hours. Then again, so little directors and writers can actually capture my attention for that long or anyone else for that matter. But still, I feel that the most exciting scenes of the 1st part of the movie were in the beginning when everyone died and at the end of part 1 which was the cliff hanger. The rest of the movie was more of a transition period from their homes to the lab and trying to figure out what the disease is. There were really no major developments until the end. Its worth a watch though if you have time, like having a plot with a disease in it that causes sudden death, or are interested in science. Who knows whats in store for us in the second part though?!?!  ....I'll keep you updated.

Supernatural (The CW Series)

Dean(right): I'm not gonna die in a hospital where the nurses aren't even hot!

This is one of my favorite shows ever so I may be a little bias on this one. I'll try my hardest not to be. It all began in 2005 with a death, a demon, and an escape. After that, the Winchester Brothers(Dean and Sam) were reborn as the greatest and most threatening demon hunting team in America...so far. The show originally aired on channel 11 when it was still WB but now the network has changed over to CW. The show airs on Friday's at 9pm(which of course is a protected event on my dvr). The genre of this show as you can imagine is based on the supernatural, drama, horror, and now a little romance(the one night stand kind). It's a great show to follow and I believe it is even worth it to buy the seasons on DVD with all the extras. It has already been through 5 whole seasons and it is currently in the middle of its 6th. This season is said to be the last of the series, but who knows what will happen in the end. Lets just hope it doesn't turn into another Smallville and get so stretched out that the characters all begin to kill themselves off. What makes this show unique is that each and every one of the characters is either one you will fall in love with or one that you can relate to. I mean look at the two main protagonists, Dean and Sam. They're great eye candy. Regardless of all this hotness though, this show is for men as well. A lot of my guy friends that I turned onto this show love it. It includes lots of action, comedy(some of the best one-liners), and sex(the girls are all hot) occasionally. The demons and other entity's aren't corny at all and the effects aren't even horrible for a TV series, which means there pretty good. I applaud Eric Kripke(show creator) for keeping me and all the other Supernatural-Fanatics around for six seasons. I am going to hate to see it go, but if they end things right they will keep me happy. Which reminds me, that's another thing the Supernatural Series is famous for; there season endings. If you ever take the time to watch the seasons on tape or the reruns they have on TNT, you will see what I mean. Overall, I really think the show is worth a watch no matter your age, sex, or super power. 

P.S: a great website for fans and even noobs to the show is: www.supernatural-fan-wiki.com/

Cast:

• Jared Padelecki: as Sam Winchester
• Jensen Ackles: as Dean Winchester
• Misha Collins: as Castiel
• Jim Beaver: as Bobby

It's always been a show about family, much more than it is about anything else. The mythology is only an engine to raise issues about family. A big brother watching out for a little brother, wondering if you have to kill the person you love most, family loyalty versus the greater good, family obligation versus personal happiness- Eric Kripke

Castiel: I brought you out of hell, I can throw you back in.
