The Walking Dead

Love walking dead.

The episodes featuring the "new" governor frustrated me. I wanted more of the main group.

What I find most interesting with the show is that, IMHO, Glen and Maggie are the only really likable characters. All the rest have serious flaws.

Loved the mid-season finale! No spoiler in case you haven't seen it yet, but DON'T miss it!

Frankly, just hearing the theme music and seeing the extreme close up of that doorknob and the eyeball, gets my senses right on edge.

Oddly, when I did a bit of research, there actually ARE more heinous attacks being reported around the world involving murder and cannabalism, than ever before.

The episode in FLA was the most graphic. The "zombie" attacked someone along a freeway, and starting biting his face off. Policeman orders him to stop, with his pistol pointed right at him - he doesn't stop! Officer shoots him with his side arm, wounding him - he STILL doesn't stop. He's eating the victim's face! All caught on video and on YouTube.

I'm chalking the higher number of incidents, up to much better reporting, and the internet - but I do wonder if some combination of modern day stresses and some (illegal) drug use, isn't really fueling some of this.

Anyway, great series!

I was frustrated at an episode without our intrepid gang of survivors. But, I have always loved David Morrisey and I thought his performance in the first of those eps (I haven't seen the second yet) was superb. I found myself actually interested in the Governor again.

Wish they'd all stop with the split seasons though. That shit pretty much killed the last couple of series of Doctor Who for me. I mean, I enjoyed them...but the rhythm of the series was all to whack.
