Absolutely loved this episode to be honest.
I have had a fair few people tell me it was boring after the first episode. Well, I'm sorry, but you cannot have killings like that every week. It's unrealistic. That would not happen in the zombie apocalypse, and if it did EVERYONE would be dead by now.
If anything, we deserved a toned down episode after that blow (pardon the pun) from last week. Episode 1 ripped our hearts out, we need time to repair and come back from that, right?
Also, how could you consider episode 2 to be boring? Did you not see that beautiful tiger, Shiva? We were introduced to the amazing character, Ezekiel and his tiger, yet that was boring? I think Ezekiel is definitely an instant favourite of mine. He looks exactly like to comic book and he is just so cool! I love how in the first episode he is in he completely opens up to Carol and we see (what I presume people who have not read the comics would assume) that he is not an arrogant man who calls himself 'King' - there is so much more to him. He seems honest and genuine so far and I really, really like his character. I love Shiva, of course, she is so majestic and really done well with CGI.
Carol is slightly annoying me, is she going a bit loopy? Probably.
I think Morgan seems happier in the Kingdom as opposed to Alexandria.
Can't wait for the next episode!!

The Walking Dead Graphic Novel Volume #26, Call to Arms.
I was starting to get a bit bored with the Walking Dead graphic novels - shocker, I know. But this volume. Wow. Just wow. It really brought my love for the comics flooding back. The story was brilliant and not boring at all.
I'm going to say *spoilers* here... so, you've been warned.
Rick is getting weak and I hate that... he's just pathetic and useless. He has been beaten up too many times and he is just (physically) far beyond his years. It sucks. He is no longer the hero we all loved and it is upsetting.
Carl is growing up and becoming leader material.
Eugene has found someone on the radio he fixed... I'm looking forward to this story line - I hope it's a new bunch of people.
Michonne seems to be coming out of her depression.
Andrea is cool as always... as is Maggie.
And then there's Negan...
Well his character has (sort of) turned the tables and he seems... cool? I can't believe I'm saying that. Although, what he did to Alpha, is this going to bring the war with the whisperers even closer??

The Walking Dead Graphic Novel Volume #25, No Turning Back.
For a while now the zombies have taken a seat on the back burner. For the past few volumes they have not really been considered a threat, and I guess it just reflects that people are living their every day life like this now. People have gotten used to the apocalypse and this is how they are going to live. Zombies are not new or shocking anymore. Thus, the story has taken a different route now. After the Governor and Negan, the Whisperers are upon the group and they are the main threat now. Humans are a bigger threat than the walking dead.
Rick seems to be getting on a bit now. He seems weak, and vulnerable and his leadership is often questioned. He has aged relentlessly and I am wondering how many more wars he can fight. In this volume, he turns to Negan for advice on leadership. How things change eh?
[Television] The Walking Dead - Season 7, Episode 1 "The Day Will Come When You Won't Be"
MAJOR SPOILER ALERT
IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED IT THEN STOP READING
WHAT. WAS. THAT?!
If you have been following me for a while you can probably tell that I love Abraham and he is my favourite character of all time. I was totally in denial. I had a gut feeling he would go, but I kept shifting my thoughts onto Glenn. To me, it was between Abraham, Glenn and Daryl.
Okay, so, Abraham gets it straight in the head and manages his last one liner of the show - "suck my nuts." You tell him, Abe. I was gutted, of course. I mean, he wanted a family, he was bonding with Sasha, everything seemed to be going right for him.
However, I thought, 'at least Glenn gets to see his baby' (if Maggie is well and it all works out). But nope. That glimmer of hope was snatched away from me rather rapidly. So there's me, crying into my cereal and then Glenn says "I will find you" ??? Why not kick me in the face while you're at it. To be honest, I blame Daryl for Glenn's death. He should not have punched Negan in the face,
The table scene with a pregnant Sasha and a the glowing faces of new parents Maggie and Glenn hit me right in the feels. That was sob-my-heart-out material. They were supposed to grow old together, it wasn't like they died by accident. Their lives were cruelly snatched away by a bloke who looks slightly like my dad.
Negan is a mug. The writers are even meaner for taking two precious characters away from us. This was a tricky decision. It delivered the shock factor, and yes, Negan is the man that he was so hyped up to be - they really have portrayed him that way successfully (a cruel, cold-hearted, bumhole), But, Glenn has been there since episode one (or two?) it's a major decision that may have crap consequences.
By the way, I really thought Carl's arm was a goner.
I am still in shock, and could rant for ages. What an episode. How are they going to keep up to that standard?

[Television] The Walking Dead - Season 6, Episode 15. "East"
SPOILERS
It was nice to see a few more familiar faces this episode with most characters cropping up in places.
I think Carol is on the verge of a breakdown and I hope she isn't being led to her fate in the comics - suicide. That would really suck, they have done brilliantly with her character since season one and I think they need to keep more original characters alive. You could tell killing those guys really got to her, but for now we still do not know if she is hurt.
Maggie is worrying me. In the comics she has the baby, but I hope in the TV show she doesn't miscarry as that would be absolutely awful. I think Enid is conveying Sophia's role in the comics as Maggie and Glenn's adopted daughter - sort of.
I think Rick is starting to see some truth in Morgan's ways - you could see it in his face when Morgan told him about keeping that Wolf alive.
I hope Glenn and Michonne get out okay, although I'm wondering how on earth it's going to happen. I really hope Glenn doesn't meet his comic book fate. A fate, however, that I feel will be passed on to Daryl. We aren't sure if Daryl is dead, but we are pretty certain that was his blood from the gunshot. I think he will survive this though, and will later on be subject to the wrath of Negan and Lucille. I feel the character isn't really progressing as much as the others, and I've also heard Norman Reedus is getting into films, which suggests he is the big character that will leave the show. This, however, will cause an uproar. No doubt about it.

[Television] The Walking Dead - Season 6, Episode 14. "Twice As Far"
SPOILERS
Okay, so I do feel bad for Rosita but I feel one night stands in a such a small community will not make her feel better at all.
Eugene is starting to pipe up a bit and being mean to Abraham when really, he wouldn't be alive without him.
Denise. Poor, poor, Denise. I absolutely love her. She was becoming one of my favourite characters in the show. Her and Tara were my favourite couple. And the way it happened.. saying how she should have told Tara she loved her - heartbreaking. I did shed a few tears for Denise. She died the way Abraham did in the comics. I'm glad it wasn't Abraham but I'm so gutted they left that fate to her.
Where is Carol off to?

[Television] The Walking Dead - Season 6, Episode 13. "The Same Boat"
This episode went way too quickly for my liking.
I wonder what has gotten into Carol? I think Morgan has got into her head.
"We're all Negan" is kind of annoying, however, I get it. Imagine someone coming into your base, or your home, and shooting up everyone you know, what would you do with Carol and Maggie? It's pure retaliation.
That girls finger stuck out to me, or should I say, lack of. Just shows what a nasty piece of work Negan is.

[Television] The Walking Dead - Season 6, Episode 12. "Not Tomorrow Yet"
SPOILERS
I adore Carol and her cookies, and when she put one on Sam's grave I felt so sad for her - I bet she loved the kid really. Her and Morgan really need to sort it out.
Abraham ended it with Rosita which I'm definitely gutted about, Sasha hasn't really shown that much interest so it could have been a big mistake.
When Glenn made his first kill of a human my heart was racing and I really did feel for him. It was a horrible situation and I really thought he would buckle. You could see the devastation in his eyes - even more so when he saw those pictures on the wall which were absolutely vile and made me feel ill.
Did anyone notice the Johnny Depp cameo?
[The three zombie heads that supposedly look like Gregory - the one on the right was cast with inspiration from Johnny Depp]
Tara declared her love for Denise which was lovely and you can soooooo tell Tara was pregnant in real life when she was filming this. Hiding her belly with dishes and big jumpers - does not work.
Well done to Gabriel. Knew they kept him alive for a reason.
I thought it was a brilliant episode, absolutely brilliant so far. I'm worried for Maggie and Carol because those women seem ridiculously ruthless. Eugh.
They're getting more badass as the episodes go on - a little too much, perhaps?

[Television] The Walking Dead - Season 6, Episode 11 "Knots Untie"
SPOILERS
I thought this was a really good episode.
I like how the beginning was Abraham based, although I'm not sure how I feel about them following the comics and making him a possible cheater - it's going to suck real bad.
I can't stand watching Michonne and Rick, I love both characters but it feels like I'm watching a brother and sister get it on - it's weird and cringy.
With the group reaching the Hilltop and meeting Gregory I'm feeling as if they series is moving way too fast compared to the comics. They are really catching up now - what happens if they start to surpass the comics?
Gregory seems like an idiot and I don't like him very much.
The Hilltop seems much smaller than I imagined. I can see that they are involving Maggie more which suggests that she will be running it like in the comics. Also, the suggestion regarding Negan and wiping them out, and Maggie's following response about losing something makes me worry about Glenn's fate soon - only because it was Maggie that mentioned it.
That coat Rick Grime's wears has sure had a lot of blood on it from many different people. It was brilliant when that woman punched him and Michonne knocked her to the floor, badass Michonne strikes again - love her.
I almost cried at that baby scan - I am so happy for them but so worried about Glenn!
You can tell the next few episodes will be BIG and I bet this season ends on a massive cliff-hanger.

SPOILERS
Nice to see Jesus appear - I hope he's just as good as he is in the comics. All of that food and supplies absolutely wasted though. If the comics are anything to go by I wonder if that was the stash for Negan?
I'm loving Denise and Tara at the moment - Denara? It's adorable.
I see Carl has healed well - shame. Just kidding. Enid is coming out of her shell more, too.
Where was Abe?
THE LAST BIT WITH THE KISS (& more I guess) WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT?? Although considering in the comics Rick is with Andrea, Michonne, too, is a long standing character so I guess it sort of makes sense? Can't believe it though!
I want next week to be here so badly!

The Walking Dead Graphic Novel Volume #24, Life And Death.
Just when I thought the past few books were getting slow, repetitive and boring, I'm pulled straight back in with this banger of an issue.
The Whisperers are showing their true colours, Negan is making me question everything about him and I'm wondering how much more can Rick actually take.
Carl, of course, is being an annoying little brat who needs to sort his life out.
Both 'towns' try and revert back to some sort of normalcy from the pre-apocalyptic lives - much to the distaste of The Whisperers.
[Television] The Walking Dead - Season 6 - Episode 5.
Now we know who was shouting "OPEN THE GATES" - but how the bloody hell did they run that fast through all those walkers.
The people of Alexandria are starting to worry about Glenn, Nicholas, Abraham, Daryl and Sasha. Glenn and Nicholas are presumed dead but there is still hope amongst the community.
The walkers are piling in around the defences, hopefully the walls will hold. The people of Alexandria seem to have been living without a clue the whole time the apocalypse has been upon them. They are not ready to fight the walkers, despite how much they want to, and how much they need to.
For once we see more than five seconds of Maggie and her storyline will pull on your heart strings, no doubt about it. It makes us want Glenn home even more. If you've read the comics you could probably have seen this coming.
Oh, and Rick seems to be getting a bit confident...
I hope Abraham is okay. I love him.

[Television] The Walking Dead - Season 6 - Episode 4.
*Spoilers*
Apologies for the late post.
This 90 minute flash-back episode regarding Morgan was amazing. He has been around since episode one of the first season, yet, we've not seen that much of him. I love his character and I love how they make him crop up now and again.
In this episode we learnt what Morgan went through, and how he has become who he is today.
Eastman is, in my opinion, one of the best characters so far. Who would have thought that a man in one episode would have such a profound effect and impact on the viewer.
Also, I love Tabitha the goat - only in one episode and still has more fans than Lori...what.

[Television] The Walking Dead - Season 6, Episode 2.
Cool episode! Absolutely loved it!
But now I feel like no character is safe and they will write out anyone at any time.
How is Rick going to get out of that? And his hand? I hope he doesn't chop it off like they did in the comics.
Also, there is no way THEY can have been written out. I feel the producers respect that character a lot more to send THEM out like that. I've heard a few conspiracy theories but we shall see. Intestines aren't in your chest so they clearly belonged to the other character. I reckon THE CHARACTER will slide under the bin and I think THEY will use walker blood and guts like what happened in Season 1 to get out of that mess.

[Television] The Walking Dead - Season 6, Episode 2.
I watched this the other day but I've been so busy that it is only now that I've had the time to write this.
What. An. Episode. It was violent, it was gory, it was amazing. I'm so worried about the future of Alexandria it is unreal! Of course, I guess, if they stay in Alexandria for long it'll be 'boring' (I don't think so, but the general population does) and people will start to lose interest. Although, in the comics they are still there to this date. So who knows? Could go either way.
I'm really getting fed up of the Wolves and I'm very, very curious about that Enid. I reckon there's more to her than meets the eye, despite getting a bit of background information on her.
OH, AND, IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW... This episode was set at the same time as last weeks episode so now we know what that car horn was all about!! I knew the wolves were going to come and get crazy in this season!!

The Waking Dead 7" Vinyl Figures
Last week I had a look in HMV in Oxford Street and they had this really cool Walking Dead 7" Prison Guard/Riot Gear Zombie Vinyl Figure, it was £19.99 but reduced to £9.99 I thought "bargain" and swooped. I had a ten pounds off voucher so I used that to buy this really cool figure!
I didn't really know much about these figures, I've seen them before but not really took much notice. But when I saw it in real life, and not just a picture on screen, I just fell in love and bought it.
Then, I did my homework. They are made by Funko (just like the Pop! range) and I believe there are 4 vinyl figures in this range, Daryl Dixon, Daryl Dixon (bloody version), RV Walker and the Prison Guard Walker.
To my luck, I went into www.lairoftheoctopus.co.uk and they had a sale on these exact figures. I managed to get Bloody Daryl Dixon which is a Walker Stalker Convention Exclusive (2013) for just £9.98!!! I also grabbed the RV Walker for a ridiculous price of £6.98! The RV Walker is one of my favourite zombies so I'm glad they decided to make him in this range. They all sold pretty quickly so I'm so pleased I got in there first.
Normally these figures are £20+ so for the prices I got them at I'm a seriously happy girl!
Normally, I don't get doubles of characters. For instance, with my Walking Dead Pop! collection I only have one of each character. However, there are only 4 of these figures (with the pops there are so many, that's why I stuck to one of each character) so I'm really tempted to complete the set and get normal Daryl Dixon... Well, hopefully one day!
I love these figures so much and I think they compliment my collection greatly.

[Television] The Walking Dead - Season 6, Episode 1.
I appreciated the fact that this was 1 hour 20 minutes instead of the regular hour.
At first I started off a bit confused, but, when the flash backs started to happen, it all made sense. I liked the idea of the past being in black and white, and I also felt that they managed to merge two episodes into one by playing them side by side sort of thing. It made the storyline much more interesting, rather than having the past as one episode and the present as another.
Loving the new character, Heath, who looks astonishingly like the comics, however, I felt this episode was slow. Slow, in a good way though. Trying to divert a heard away from camp in a few minutes is obviously not realistic. I like slow, though. Because I feel too much has happened too quickly in each season - that's why I appreciate the slower episodes.

[Game] Telltale Games - The Walking Dead: Season One
The Apple App Store were doing this game as a free download and you also got Episode 1 for free too. I downloaded it because I heard so many good reviews on the game and, being a zombie enthusiast, I wanted to see what the fuss was about. Well, was I in for a ride.
The game consists of five episodes and one add-on extra called '400 Days.' They were doing a bundle deal, episodes 2-5 plus 400 Days for £14.99 so I opted for that, all in all saving around a fiver.
You play as the character Lee, a convicted criminal on his way to prison when the apocalypse breaks out. Ultimately meeting Clementine in Episode 1. You meet and lose many great characters along the way, but I'm not going to give the story up for those who like a surprise.
I found the game severely tense and emotional. You are given time limits on decisions that you have to make. These decisions range from menial conversation to saving someone's life. Each time you make a choice it alters the game in a different direction as a direct result and consequence of your decision.
The graphics are great, they have a comic book feel and it is easy to navigate and play. Great for a first time gamer like myself. But just as good for a pro-gamer, too.
In this game we do see some old and familiar faces from the comics and the TV Show.
I have yet to play 400 Days yet. It bridges the gap between Season 1 and Season 2. As it's an add-on and a Season in its own right, I shall write a separate post for it once I'm done.
Overall 10/10, brilliant game. I recommend it to everyone and I have already downloaded Season 2.

You play as the character Lee, a convicted criminal on his way to prison when the apocalypse breaks out. Ultimately meeting Clementine in Episode 1. You meet and lose many great characters along the way, but I'm not going to give the story up for those who like a surprise.
I found the game severely tense and emotional. You are given time limits on decisions that you have to make. These decisions range from menial conversation to saving someone's life. Each time you make a choice it alters the game in a different direction as a direct result and consequence of your decision.
The graphics are great, they have a comic book feel and it is easy to navigate and play. Great for a first time gamer like myself. But just as good for a pro-gamer, too.
In this game we do see some old and familiar faces from the comics and the TV Show.
I have yet to play 400 Days yet. It bridges the gap between Season 1 and Season 2. As it's an add-on and a Season in its own right, I shall write a separate post for it once I'm done.
Overall 10/10, brilliant game. I recommend it to everyone and I have already downloaded Season 2.

The Walking Dead Graphic Novel Volume #23, Whispers Into Screams
I must admit, with the past couple of volumes I've felt a bit lost and felt like things were a bit 'same-y' but, with Volume 23 I feel like things are coming together a bit more now and I understand a lot more of what is going on.
Focus is drifting away from Rick, some favourites are not to be seen, and some nuisances are always there. If you don't think about some of the originals the storyline is getting really good, but, I can't help cling on to the past and wonder what on Earth are they doing?
I do think though, another Survivors' Guide is due.

Walking Dead Light
As previously stated before I've been in love with Etsy for a while now and I'm finding some great things on there lately, well, just check out this beauty!!
It's a handmade light that says 'The Walking Dead' 'Fight The Dead Fear The Living' with zombies underneath. Because it's made of glass it looks brilliant on its own as a glass ornament, but with the light turned on it looks absolutely phenomenal! You have the option to pick a range of colours for your light - I opted for green because I thought it suited the situation better.
This is one of my staple pieces to my zombie collection and definitely one of my favourites. I am in love with it and I adore it.
If you'd like to get one (they do more than just this, there are loads of other cool lights in stock), check out their Etsy page here: https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/IncredibleInnovation?ref=l2-shop-info-name
Delivery was super quick and they are very talented. I would highly recommend this seller.
