My thought on the iZombie premiere

Why I love the Flash on the CW

I know why I love The Flash​ TV show on the CW.
It is a comic book turned in to a live action series.

 By not being afraid of the comic it's based on it has villains that can turn in to smoke, ice&fire guns that people can carry with one hand, proof of time travel, two people becoming one then back to two again, and to see a psychic gorilla walk on his legs down a hall then to harm a man he don't like at all. Character have the outfit, names, and powers from the comics.

Arrow is following the close to real life and dark like the Dark Knight trilogy, Gotham is gritty and dirty with no joy like a cop show on FX or Spike.
Flash has people who are fun, cheerful, colorful, and happy. There are plenty of times we see the show take place in the day as well night. The Flash helps the people even with the smallest of things and the police with any problem they may have.

He is the hero that comics have forgotten and movies won't show.

If the dead could ask

Here is a question I post in the comments of both the Walking Dead and Talking Dead Facebook pages for guests True Blood’s Joe Manganiello and The Walking Dead Creator and Executive Producer, Robert Kirkman to answer on tonight's Talking Dead.

What would happen if Rick's group from the show some how meets Rick's group from the comic? Will they be all buddy buddy, one group kills the other, or something else?

Knowing the comic and show the answer won't be a good one.

Doctor's drums

Another week of picking my favorite line from a Doctor Who episode. This week it's The power of three. My favorite quote is said by the Doctor: "How do you people manage one heart? It is pitiful." This is my favorite line because it shows that the Doctor has weaknesses and that even his greatest weakness is just a little bother to him.

Here's the trailer for the episode.

A Doctor's gun

For this weeks Doctor Who favorite quote contest I had to pick a quote from the episode "A Town Called Mercy". Here is the comment I left.

Isaac: Everyone who isn't an American, drop your gun.
This is my favorite line in the episode "A Town Called Mercy" because it was said by a good actor. It was a funny line. It fits well in the stories of the 11th Doctor.

Here's the trailer for the episode from BBC.

Doctor who am I?

I took a Doctor Who companion personality quiz on the BBC America website.
Of the 6 modern companions I ended up to be Martha.

"While occasionally lead by your heart, you have an enormously practical head on your shoulders, and are extraordinarily loyal, which means you can be relied upon to fulfill any task to the letter, no matter how personally inconvenient it may be. Guns, bandages, science, amorous playwrights from the past, there's little you can't handle."

Score what you know

About a day after the mid-season finally of the Walking Dead on AMC came out there was a quiz on the shows website over the episode. Great episode so I remember everything that went on in it which let me get a perfect score on the 11 questions.

Zombieland was right!

Nothing lasts forever.

Tallahassee played by Woody Harrelson in Zombieland said it best that even a Twinkie has an expiration date. That date is today as Hostess closes down forever meaning the end to the true Twinkie.





I who hardly have that many in my life will regret not having more. Twinkies are a pop icon in the nation so I always thought of it being one of the many things that will live on past me.

Family Guy could have been right that Twinkes would survive the end of the world but it couldn't survive a strike of it's workers.











With Twinkies gone all we have left are ghosts.

Seed of the dead

The Walking Dead season 3 has started Sunday with the episode called Seed. Which can be seen on the AMC website for a limited time free. Here is my written review with few spoilers.

Teaser

The opening was a great set up of how the characters are going to act and reveal that months have passed since season 2. Not a word was said, just whistles and heavy breathing. They have been at it for quite awhile, using teamwork, and they all know what they can & have to do. Beautifully done in every way followed by new opening titles.

Reveal

It's a bit hard to believe that it took that long for them to find the prison but when they got there it showed even more of how most of the characters have changed and have learned how to live in this world enough to keep living. The way they talk and see things shows that they know so we don't have to wait for them to learn be for things get bumped up to the next level.

Characters

Carl is be coming his own man and may have a little feeling for Beth who I'm starting to care about for the first time, Rick holds the leader role stronger than he has, Hershel is moving to an everyman role with medic, farmer, now rifleman, Carol looks to have been moving on and is finally a real person, T-dog is still pointless and everything he did and said in every episode could have been done by someone else and in a better way, Maggie and Glenn are still a cute couple and show their bound well, Daryl is still bad ass and my favorite in the show, Lori I still wish to die and I still hate her but she seems a little better to me in this episode, and finally Andrea & Michonne are the only weak part I found with this episode as there is no character development and adds nothing to the story over all so they could have waited for the next episode to begin to tell their story.

Behind the scenes

Whatever happened to the old writers or new writes, they now know how to write these characters as well as they are in the comics. Not the same way but as well. I have great hate for season 2 not for the story but how the characters acted and talked (and staying on the farm a little too long). The acting has been good to great but this episode show the cast at the top of their game from every line and look on their faces. Directing and sound were top notch as always but the makeup and special effects are through the roof of being great, gory, and "yuck" realism. This show will never stop winning award at this rate.

Zombies

High light for me in this episode was the armor zombies. The viewers haven't seen a zombie that dangerous before and nether have the characters (both show&comic) and they showed it well as they didn't know what to make of them or how to fight them. It also brought back memories of the armor zombies from Left 4 Dead 2 video game and the same trouble I had with them.

One thing I didn't care for about the zombies was the introduction of the "lurker" zombie. In the comic there are the walker zombie that comes after you and there are the lurker zombie that sits and waits for you to get in grabbing range. All of season 1&2 there was only the walker zombie that could run, had some memory, and used tools very little to get meat. Seeing a lurker appear and showing that the characters haven't met this kind before when the dead have been walking for nearly a year now is a miss step and shouldn't be in the show at all.

Premiere

Seed is a great jumping on point and season opener. I wished it was a hour and a half long like season 1&2 had but there are going to be 16 episode for this season making it the longest of the show so far so time and story can only be stretched so far. With the missing months lost in the snow of the unseen Winter, new fans and old have some catching up to do as the show (and maybe other media) go over what they went though in that time to make them who they are today. Question that I, my friends, and family had for/about the show was answered or brought up in this episode showing that the show is smart about what and how it does things.I was ready to give up on the show because of season but Seed got me back. Best of luck to this show for the ground it broke 2 years ago and continue to spread like an unnamed virus.

That was a lot of typing so my next written review maybe for the mid-season break.
