| Extras?........ or Rhyl on a Saturday night? |
Well The Walking Dead series 2 came to an end with an appropriate amount of zombies munching their way through the more minor characters of the cast as the Farm burned and the small group of survivors (a cross section of American society) realise that they are indeed just grown up versions of the boys out of The Lord Of The Flies.

| And then there were 10? |
The series has become a dark, dark exploration of how quickly humanity and the psychological norms of our society can be de-constructed into their more basic of components when faced with an apocalypse, and it is these aspects of the series that I have found so interesting..... the zombies are almost incidental
All of us would like to think that we would never lose the more compassionate and intellectual sides of ourselves when disaster rears it's ugly head....

| Norman Reedus is a bit of a draw too!! |
I can't believe I turned down a night's overtime to watch the finale..... how geeky am I?
Love the pictures...Love Zombies...love the series....hate the break til the new season starts.....arrghhh!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think we should never lose sight of what we might become if life was more important than freedom.
ReplyDeleteGeeky! Are zombies really scary? Don't they move terribly slowly? I always wonder why people don't just jog away.
ReplyDeleteLady
ReplyDeletethat is the draw of the series and those like it.... we ll think we would retain out humanity!

shhhhhhhhhh!!!! dont tell anyone.......no one else has noticed x
delurking to say, less of the intestine munching. I worked colo-rectal for years and never want to see that much guts again.
ReplyDeleteMy kids laugh at me because I just can't watch the gory bits.
enjoy the show (never mind about all that money you won't be making)!!!
ReplyDeleteI've started reading "The Hunger Games Trilogy" - looks interesting and first impressions are that life should never be devalued by calculating it down to an equation.
ReplyDeleteAnother possible experiment with humanity? Maybe I should watch it.
ReplyDeleteIs it just me that finds some of the zombies pretty hot?
ReplyDeleteGood for you, for passing up the overtime! A quiet night at home with a good program is much better for your health than working extra hours...
ReplyDelete(said the lady who always did consider working an "intrusion on my life"!
;-)
Uber geek. But that's kind of cool.
ReplyDeleteBut no new series until Autumn? What a long time to wait!
ReplyDeleteAh, but 'Mad Men' has just started its second series in America... Do you like that?
ReplyDeleteI think Joe would quite enjoy smacking a few heads off with a shovel if he had to !
ReplyDeleteJohn D my teenagers have read The Hunger Games Trilogy & took me to the cinema to watch the film of the first book - they said it was very true to the book but not as gory (to obtain a 12 A rating) I found it quite disturbing.
My first and only encounter with zombies was in Salem's Lot. Never again. Give me vampires (NOT Twilight), mummies and various other undeads, but NOT zombies. They freak me out waaaay too much.
ReplyDeleteNot geeky - it was brilliant! Watched it twice already.
ReplyDeleteThe cupboard is now full of stores and ammunition...I'm ready!
What is wrong with geeky?
ReplyDeleteI'm sad that it's over for another year... now what the heck are we gonna watch?
ReplyDeleteBugger The Walking Dead...what about the climax of Being Human?? :-)
ReplyDeleteBut the finale was so worth it, wasn't it? Getting to see Michonne with her two zombies in tow, for Rick to finally get grow some balls, and catch a glimpse of the prison. I can't wait for the next season!!
ReplyDeletegreg
ReplyDeleteas long as some humanity is retained.. I dont want it too bleak! x
John: in answer to your question, my favorite character is Daryl Dixon. I want him on my side when the zombies arrive....
ReplyDeleteHaha, I would've done the same - bloody love that show!
