AMC’s series “The Walking Dead” debuted when I almost died myself in the hospital, and didn’t feel like watching movies or TV shows that involved anything horrific.  Life for me was horrific enough, without the added drama of people on TV going through any form of Hell.  I wanted comedy, love, and laughter – and I want to kick myself now.

I started watching “The Walking Dead” season one on Netflix and streamed all of the episodes in two days!  I couldn’t stop watching, because it was like “ZOMBIE HEROIN” and I was addicted.  The show is so freaking amazing, and it was only a matter of time before I indeed became a fan.

While some parts of the show have some overdone dramatics, the premise and the freaking ZOMBIES are very well done!  ”The Walkers,” aka. zombies that roam around are so freaking disgusting, and you can’t help but feel the tension of the characters when they are faced with life or death decisions.

The cast is well played!  John Bernthal (Shane) takes my breath away as a manly man who does manly things to get his group safely through one variant obstacle, in the most manly way.

Let us all take a moment to worship Shane in his manliness…… bow your heads……

He is so manly, man…. man oh man.  ;)  Anyway, I have just only finished season one, and now I am opening myself up to start watching season 2 which is on VUDU.  Hopefully by the next week, I will be fully caught up, and of course will be getting the coffee mug and T-shirt so I can support the show at work while my conservative friends gasp in awe.

Zombies are kick ass, conservative friends make me sleepy.  The scariest zombie so far for me on the show so far is this one below — a creepy rotting bitch who immediately sprouted me a vagina, and made me scream in decibel levels above Justin Bieber.

Sexier things must occupy my mind now, including more of Seth (even though he can be an asshole, I still adore him..) and dare I say it Daryl?

Yes, I said DARYL – because for some strange reason even with his southern wit and “charm,” I could see myself sticking close to him and offering hand jobs to keep him happy so when I am getting attacked by a zombie he would come to my rescue.  A girl has gotta do what a girl has to do, right?

…. plus he carries a crossbow and has great arms.  The only thing that is missing is a can of dip, a six pack of beer, and a night on Brokeback Mountain with me.  Yeah, I went there.

Speaking of going there, I totally think that Shane and Rick are secret lovers….. because they have some scenes that are more intimate than a few adult films I own.  I get that they’re bros and stuff, but seriously….. the term bro’s before hoes applies here on SO MANY LEVELS.

Either way, I am a new fan of the show and I love it!  I plan on getting through season 2 in the next few days, and can’t wait for season 3.  In the meantime, I am glad I have found a new show to keep my braaiiinnnnzzzzzzzzzz occupied.

Walking With The Dead,
