A very merry undead birthday to me...

 

 
 

AKA what I REALLLLLLLLY hope my brother gets me for my birthday! Guess when this bad boy gets released?August 27th BABY ! MY BIRTHDAY! I have the collectors version of season 2 and this would give me warm fuzzies! I even heard you can add water to the tank! EEEKKKK! My heart does flip flops when I think about it! And have you seen the new comic con trailer for season 4? OMG! OMG! OMG! October needs to get here already! If you haven't seen it view it here.

Spoiler question if you haven't seen season 3....I  noticed the Guvnor was missing from the trailer...are we going to get to find out what happened to him?  Now that I have gotten past July I need something to look forward too...that's for a future post.


I also try to collect the toys figurines and while I usually do the tv show ones I love, love ,love this comic book one of Penny.

 

Yes,  I am that nerd.  Proof ...I usually only buy the graphic novels as they are released but I saw these at the comic book store and I had to have them!

 

Side note my second favorite tv show now has a comic...THE X-Files! Again heart doing flip flops. I am turning into a Sheldon. Tuesdays are going to become new comic book day.
 

Now my brother younger brother needs to return my comics soon so I can re read them from start to finish!





Another Rockin Mail day

Do you remember my Tumbler Buddy from Simply Betty Stamps fan group on Facebook, Laura Boyd? Well she was clearing out some of her old fan gurl shirts and decided to make my daughters beneficiaries!

This lady rocks! My girls loved them all! I even got me some Peanut butter M&M's!

Of course she didn't leave me out and She spotted these online and bought them for me! WALKING DEAD MINATES! I Squealed in delight seeing they were from comic con and so I know hard to find.

They have a permanent home  on my walking dead shelf! Yes I have a shelf solely for my Walking Dead books..don't judge! Thank You Laura! This truly Made my day!

Walking Dead Updates...SPOILERS and LONG

LOL sorry obscure Dr. Who reference in a zombie post ....Well, I must have my geek on. With 2 more episodes to go in the 2nd season, I realized I have not said enough on the show. 

Let's start with the obvious recent comments on AMC's blog about the show being too drama filled and not enough zombie action to keep people coming back for season 3.  In this geek gurls opinion, it's needed. You need to see the drama of life in those type of situations. It's building us up, the characters have to grow. This is not a 2 hour movie. We need to understand how the characters get to the breaking point and wind up making the decisions that they do. ( Besides not enough zombie action...O MY GOODNESS ONE OF THE ZOMBIES ATE A GUYS FACE! I MEAN REALLY PEOPLE!)  Ya it sucks sometimes, but even Kirkman in the front of the first Walking Dead graphic novel states this is a story about the survivors, he is not out to scare us. The best zombie movies to him are the ones that make us question our positions in society. He wants to show us the progression or even decline of people in these situations, and most of all he wants us to put ourselves , our friends and family in this situation and think long and hard about our own personal reactions. I think he is doing just that in the tv show, I mean after all if you read the comics, you know there is no way the censors would allow half of that on tv!

Let's move on to everyone's favorite topic of Shane....

ok not everyone's. Not this gurl's by a long shot but it needs to be said. Here comes the spoiler....
if you were visiting AMC's webstore sometime last  Thursday they had a preorder up for season 2 dvd's release. Guess what was on one of the bonus features?  A title of Shane's last episode.....Yup we haven't seen him die yet but it was there. At the time of this writing, AMC was giving the lovely 404 page can not be found message for Walking Dead Merchandise.  Coincidence? I think not.  It does however lead my mind to wander how it happens? Will it happen like in the comic? HMMM Not seeing the censors liking that version. Will Dale finally give up his pleasant demeanor and just pistol whip his brains out? Or maybe he'll just drive off alone in to the sunset like he had planned? That would be a cop out in my opinion. I would have liked to see Rick leave his butt on the bus personally. Then see a zombie eat HIS face. SCORE! LOL nothing personal Jon Bernthal you're a great actor Shane is just a nimrod. OHH not to mention there have been leaks of Jon in talks to star in a drama series called L.A. Noir for TNT and he hasn't even left the show...hmmm?

          Had to edit before this was scheduled to be published on my blog, after some research I stumbled upon another major spoiler. So if you don't wanna know how Shane is rumored to bite it don't read this . In episode 12(this Sundays episode), Lori starts drama between Rick and Shane by saying if Rick had not come back to her they would still be together, making Shane wanna kill Rick.  She warns Rick Shane might try to kill him. Shane lures  Rick into the woods and pulls a gun to his head. Our fearless leader tries to convince Shane to go back to the farm which agitates him more.  Rick stabs Shane, Shane comes back as zombie, and Carl shoots him. Ya see censors didn't like a kid to do the killing of a human. Just a zombie. Tho I will give props to the writers for at least letting the original intended killer kill Shane.
 
        Ok  on to the 3rd and Final topic of this rant of mine. The best villain ever has been cast for season 3. As fans of the comics (even the novel), we have all waited for this moment to arrive. Who will be the GOVERNOR? DUN DUN DUNNNNNNN.....it's British actor David Morrissey.

While I am going to reserve judgement on the pick for this iconic menace, I just don't see it. This is the guy that's going to serve all that malice to our band of survivors? Does he look like he'd hurt Michonne? Or Rick? Or if you read the comics do half the crap he does? Guess I will just have to wait to see.

Who would I have like to see as the GOVERNOR? None other then bad prison guy himself  Danny Trejo....

Now that would get me uber psyched to tune into season 3! Now if you'll excuse me I need to go watch last nights episode.....

Walking Dead has invaded the shelves

I saw a preview a few months back on the Daryl Dixon action figure from Macfarlane toys and at the time was not a huge fan of Daryl. So far this season he has grown on me.  I think he is a total asset to the group and I love that they have added squirrels to the figure. It just cracks me up!  Of course group one would not be complete with out our unsung hero Rick Grimes and as always the zombies themselves.  Lovin the one in purple LOL like you didn't guess that already right? 

On other Walking Dead news I finally got to read to The Rise of the Govenor! OHHHH wow I couldn't put it down ...even tho I had an inkling how it was gonna end and I was right.  But when put in the context of the comics the relationship between him and the girl has me a little icked out. I think they need to incorporate that into the show. Maybe as a flashback when they find the govenor after Michone gets done with  him? That would be a few episodes I would definately stay tuned for.  If you don't subscribe to AMC's news letter to get walking dead updates you should they have a preview if the first Feb. episode. And it just fueled my hate for that nimrod Shane! UGHHH! Stay Strong fellow Zombie Survivors Feb. will be here before we know it. Then we can all hate SHane together. Wussy!



The Dead have returned





and I am missing it. Season 2 of AMCs The Walking Dead premires tonight and I sit here WITHOUT cable, dish, etc to watch. (I may seriously bust out some cash though if I see it's on hulu plus.)  Wallowing in self pity over the fact, I wanted to share something for people who may have missed it. 

Remember Bicycle Girl?





Well she's pretty iconic among the Walking Dead die hards. AMC did a series of webisodes on how she became a walker  crawler. They are pretty dark and had my heart racing in my chest going NO NO IDIOT DON'T DO IT! If you haven't seen them check them out here. Just a little tide over to the premire tonight.

In other Walking Dead news , ( said in my best Kermit the Frog voice) there has also been the release of an actual novel. In the graphic novels there is the quintisential bad guy called the govenor. He is one twisted soul. This is his story. I for one can not wait to read it. He was really whacked and I would love to know how he got there. I also read there is a video game in the works? Well I am not a gamer but I may just have to try that out.

On a side note , I saw that my zombie plan post got a lot of readers. SO apparently readers don't want to see the scrapbooking and crafting they want the undead. Not that I blame them LOL.
