[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.

The Walking Dead - Daryl Dixon Black And White Funko Pop! (Walmart Exclusive)

Wanted this little guy for a while now and managed to get him for a steal of £17 on a group online.

He's a Walmart Exclusive so he's all the way from the United States. Pretty cool.

I love how he's black and white as it sort of pays homage to Daryl Dixon because he's not in the comics, this way, it sorts of includes him in it - well, that's the way I interpreted it.

I love this Pop! and he looks so cool with my collection.

[Graphic Novel] The Extinction Parade by Max Brooks

In the past we've already dealt with the idea of zombies vs. vampires. However, Extinction Parade offers a whole new concept when it comes to involving vampires and zombies within the same book.

Zombies don't 'see' vampires as technically they aren't human. Brilliant! This means the vampires can walk straight through a crowd of zombies completely unscathed. But... What's a vampires main food source? Yes.. Humans... And what is currently on the verge of extinction... Yep, humans!

Now the vampires have to figure out a way to keep their food source alive and away from this parasitic creature that feeds upon the same flesh of the living that the vampires want. 

How are they vampires going to deal with this one?!

Guess you gotta read it!

[Film] Mimesis (2011) Review

One word: Brilliant.

A very, very original film. I don't really want to say too much in case I give it away, there is in an immense twist within this story, which, I guess, could be worked out quite early on in the film.

It's a definite homage to 'Night of the Living Dead' where a group of (mostly) teenagers end up in the plot of 'Night of the Living Dead.' I don't do it much justice, it really is a brilliant film.

The Walking Dead - Sheriff Rick Grimes Funko Pop!

Also for my birthday, my friends got me the Sheriff Rick Funko Pop! As my boyfriend says - "the one who started it all."

Talk about nostalgia! A throw back from the first series! Ties in nicely though!


The Walking Dead - Zombie Merle Funko Pop!

My birthday was on July 29th and for it my boyfriend got me my Grail Funko Pop Piece! You know? That funko you would do anything for?!

My Grail Piece was (and still is) The Walking Dead Zombie Merle Funko Pop!

He's quite pricey so when my other half got him I was so excited! I cannot thank him enough to have gotten me my ultimate piece to add to my collection. I've wanted him for years and now he's finally mine. Words cannot explain the happiness of the zombie collector!

Look at him! He's gorgeous! Need to get a pop protector for him!

New iPod Touch With Zombie Quote Engraving!!

I'm super excited to say that I managed to get a new iPod Touch! Not only do I have this amazing piece of technology as it is, but I'm also majorly happy because I have gotten one of my favourite quotes engraved on it, and - you guessed it - it's from a zombie film!

The quote comes from George A. Romero's second zombie film 'Dawn of the Dead'. Or, the bible. Depends who you are.

Check out how cool it is!

'When there is no more room in hell the dead will walk the earth'


Case with Abraham Ford from 'The Walking Dead' on it - my favourite character!

[Graphic Novel] iZombie: uVampire, Volume 2

A great follow on from volume one. Gwen eats the brain of someone she used to know in her previous life, which ultimately complicate things for her when it comes to helping them out with their unfinished business. Ghost girl Ellie learns new tricks with how to use her situation to the fullest of its potential and the were-terrier's grandad well.. Also manages to take on a new form.

Brilliant second volume. Definitely get into this series. The art work is great, the characters are riveting and the idea is completely original. I love this comic series.

[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.
