The Walking Dead

The Walking Dead is a TV show on AMC it was first a graphic novel worth reading so go check them out (yes them its many graphic novels in fact). It was of course ZOMBIES!!! I love zombie stuff. Oh, I should explain what the show is right?

The Walking Dead is an epic, edge-of-your-seat drama where personal struggles are magnified against a backdrop of moment-to-moment survival. A survivalist story at its core, the series explores how the living are changed by the overwhelming realization that those who survive can be far more dangerous than the mindless walkers roaming the earth. They themselves have become the walking dead.

Ok? So anyway, I love zombie stuff for some reason, probably since I first saw Night of the living dead, the original by the king of zombies George A. Romero, of course, I admit I saw the color version, not the black and white and guess what? I don’t care, color is better, I see in color, deal with it! Now those were the original zombies, they were slow, we don’t know how they were made and we can overcome them. Today they have changed things, zombies are fast, they run and usually, they are the result of a virus that takes over and the world is pretty much over. It is also the same in video games, the original Resident Evil (the best one) the zombies were slow but it was a scary as hell game. The game is still scary but it has evolved and now has zombies that run and another new zombie game that’s out there is Left 4 Dead a fun game but again, fast zombies…….

I got way off topic, back to this show which is both fast zombies and a virus as I stated, but I don’t want to give anything away for people who want to see it so I’ll just say I’m enjoying it a lot, it’s a bit slow I think at first but its a great show with many nice side stories so far, I can’t wait for season 2. I don’t know if I ever mentioned this but I wait for everything to be on DVD or Netflix instant, impatient. I don’t like commercials and I don’t like to have to wait a week for the next episode, I like to watch seasons in clean shots. With that said season 1 of this show only has 6 episodes so go grab it on DVD and sit down this weekend and have a watch, you might like it too.

    I'm not a huge fan of zombie movies. Never really understood the fascination. I had the original Resident Evil for the Playstation, and just never bothered to get through it. I'm not really a fan of scary video games, either. 🙂 Like F.E.A.R. Played about 5 minutes and quit. lol.
