[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?

Containment - Episode 1, "Pilot"

I got the impression this new show was about zombies, I think I'm wrong however it is about a similar virus. The only different is, is that is 100% fatal.

It started in Atlanta... I think they could have changed that to be honest. Somewhere new, perhaps? I guess we can see where they got their inspiration from.
From the first episode it appears to obviously be some sort of propaganda. A Syrian man is smuggled in from the Middle East, has this odd, new, genetically altered virus, goes to a hospital and spreads this virus. I guess some sort of bio-terrorism.

It shows the perspective from two couples - a young couple and the girl is pregnant. A middle-aged couple, Lex is a police officer and his girlfriend works with computers (a bit more high-tech than I make it sound). There is also a teacher and a doctor.

By the end of the episode the whole section is contained, hence, "Containment" and the couples are separated.

[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.

[Television] Z Nation - Season 1, Episode 1

This series starts off brilliantly, death row inmates are being used as test subjects to see if they can find a cure for the zombie outbreak. One guy manages to survive a zombie attack and thus, we follow a group of people trying to keep this inmate safe and get him to a high tech facility in order to possibly make more strains of this 'cure'.

The gore from the start is ridiculous! And the effects are just amazing!

A definite must watch! Glad to see another zombie series on television. And, may I add, the cast are brilliant.

The Walking Dead - Season 5, Episode 1

Oh my god!!! How tense was that episode?! The first five minutes were just filled with blood and the whole episode just got gorier. I really do think they have heightened the effects and most definitely, the gore factor. Did anybody notice we see the guy that Rick and Carol met in the house and we all thought 'what on earth was that scene about?' I won't give spoilers but keep an eye out for it. It's really early in the episode, too.

It was more like Season 4's finale than the start of Season 5.

I still can't get over how much Eugene and Abraham look like their characters in the comics.

When watching it, wait until after the credits, there's a scene after them which you won't want to miss.

What a brilliant episode, I can't wait for next week!!
