The Walking Dead Mid Season Recap
Rick arrives at Hershel's farm with Carl in his arms. Hershel acts quickly and with little question. He needs to operate but doesn't have the equipment needed to put the boy under. Shane volunteers to head to the school where a FEMA station had been. The problem is that it is over run by walkers. Otis feeling guilty for shooting the boy, and being a former EMT also volunteers and he and Shane are off. Rick must stay behind to give blood to his son. Hershel's daughter (Maggie) decides to ride over and tell the boy's mother what has happen and bring her back to the farm.
Lori wastes no time with questions and rides off with Maggie, despite Daryl's apprehensions. That night Daryl can't sleep, so he and Andrea take a walk around to look for Sophia. What they find is a campsite with a zombie hanging in a tree. Andrea wants Daryl to kill it, but he says: "Why? It ain't hurting anything." She then makes a deal with him after he asks her what is going on with her, an arrow for an answer. Her answer is a bit vague, but at least we learn that she isn't going to off herself at the first chance. Daryl puts an arrow in it's head anyway. Shane and Otis get caught up at the school, surrounded in the gym, Otis comes up with a plan. He will lead them off, down into the locker room, giving Shane time to climb the bleachers and get out the window. Shane seems to be not sure of the plan, worried that Otis will be heading for a dead end, but Otis assures him that it isn't and that the windows down there are more his size. Otis runs, Shane goes out the window, hurting his ankle in the process. Otis catches up to him outside and the two run side by side with a hoard of walkers close on their heels. When there ammo gets low, Shane puts his last bullet into Otis' leg, leaving him for zombie bait as he runs for the truck. When Shane returns to the farm he only tells them that Otis died a hero. Hershel and Patricia perform the operation, and after he and Rick tell her the fate of her beloved husband.
The following morning the remaining members of the group arrive at the farm. Maggie and Glenn go into town for medical supplies, and end up doing the horizontal mambo on the pharmacy counter.
The search for Sophia goes on, and Daryl takes a horse from the farm and rides up river. The horse spooks shortly after he finds Sophia's doll in the river. He tumbles down a small cliff into the river, landing hard, and with his last arrow through his side. He ties off the arrow with his shirt and climbs back up, only to fall just before reaching the top. He long lost brother appears, riding him hard, pushing him to get up and do what he needs to do in typical Merle style. Daryl's head finally clears only to find Merle gone and a walker chewing on his boot, and another closing in. He bashes the knoller's head in with a rock, pulls the arrow from his side, loads it, taking the remaining walker out with a close range head shot, then back up the side he goes. Merle comes back for more slanderous pep talks, and is gone again once Daryl reaches the top. Daryl makes it back to the farm, look worse for ware, covered in blood and wearing his zombie-ear-necklace that he devised from his kills at the river, only to be shot in the head by Andrea after she mistook him for a walker.
Some where in there the group finds a zombie down inside one of the drinking water wells. The decide to drag it out rather than killing it and contaminating the water. Glen goes down with a rope, nearly gets dropped, but manages to snare it anyway. The zombie gets stuck at the top, and rips in half. The bottom part falling back into the well, the top on the ground and hungry. Of course they smash it's head in, and Maggie doesn't like that too well.
Shane gives everyone shooting lessons, and Andrea is his top student. They go up to a suburb where they believe Sophia might have went. Andrea is a perfect shot as long as the target isn't moving, but when they are quickly surrounded by walkers, Shane clears the car, and her gun jams. They are closing in, and Shane forces her to get the job done, and she does. On the way back to the farm Andrea gets frisky, and they krissen Shane's new ride in the middle of the road.
After a dinner prepared by Lori and Carol, Glenn goes out to the barn to meet up with Maggie for another round of loving. He had slipped her a note as to where to meet, and when she finally reads it, she freaks out, and runs out to stop him. But it's to late, he has already climbed up inside the loft, and ready for more hot sex, until he realizes the barn is full of zombies.
Oh and before I forget Lori is pregnant too, and only Glenn knows, which he ends up telling Dale, along with the fact that Hershel has a barn full of walkers. Soon Glenn is back on his way into town, a special mission for Lori. Maggie of course rides along. But this time it's not sex she gets, but attacked by a walker. Glenn plays the bad ass and takes the things head nearly off with a shelf, then finishes the job with his axe. The worst part of the trip is that Lori had sent them for the day after pills, which she takes and then quick throws up. Rick finds the empty cartons and confronts her. This is also the moment he learns about Lori and Shane. He takes it well, all most to well.
Of course Shane too learns about the baby soon after, and Glenn spills the beans about the barn. Shane flips out. They all do, but Rick calms things a bit, giving him time to talk to Hershel. Needless to say the talk does not go well. Hershel is stuck in his belief that they are just sick and can be cured. Later Hershel comes to Rick for help, help that turns out to be retrieving a pair of walkers from the swamp. Which used to be Otis' job. Meanwhile Shane arms the group once again, fighting to take control over the group from Rick. Just then they see Rick and Hershel bringing the two walkers to the barn with pole snares. Again Shane flips, charges down to them with everyone behind him. He goes into a rant and to prove his point to Hershel that the walkers are not people anymore, he shoots the one Hershel is leading, showing that no person could survive such a wound. Then of course finishes it off with a shot to the head, taking Hershel to the ground with the walker. Shane to further his point breaks the lock off the barn and opens the door, freeing the zombies inside, which includes Hershel's wife and step-son.
The group starts cutting them down one by one as they exit the barn. Glenn not sure what to do, looks to Maggie. She gives him a nod, and he joins the shooting gallery. The bodies pile up quickly, and then one final walker steps out of the barn. A small child, a girl, her hands over her face blocking the bright sunlight. When she lowers her arms, and focuses on the group we see clearly that it is Sophia. Carol screaming and crying, while the others stand frozen, including Shane. Rick is the only one that steps forward to do what needs to be done. With tears in his eyes, and guilt set in his heart, he pulls the trigger, sending Sophia to the ground.
There of course was plenty of other things that happened through the first half of the season, such as the confrontations between Shane and Dale. First being over Otis, and when Shane took aim on Rick back in season one. And then again when Dale took all the guns and tried to hide them in the swamp. Shane had tracked him down, and pushed Dale to take aim on Shane. Dale of course backed down, but I don't think this is near being over between the two of them. Then there was when Shane confronted Lori about the baby, where she told him that even if it is his, Rick is the father. As far as I am concerned Shane has gone way over the edge, and everyone had better watch there backs from now on. He ever got into it with Daryl at the barn before releasing the walkers. Definitely not a smart move on Shane's part, but a fight I would like to see play out.
Well I guess that is it until February... see all you dead fans then.
Rest in peace Sophia, we will all miss you.

Grimm, Another Supernatural TV Thriller
If you haven't already figured it out, the show is a dark cop drama where characters inspired by Grimm's Fairy Tales exist.
The show is set in present day Portland, Oregon. It follows homicide detective Nick Burkhardt (David Giuntoli) that discovers he is a descendant of a group of hunters known as Grimms. The Grimms fight to keep humanity safe from the supernatural creatures of the world.
"Grimm" is definitely worth a look. It has plenty of drama, and action to keep you coming back every week. The special effects are pretty good too. I'll be watching.

Torchwood Miracle Day Episode 10

Jack, Gwen, Oswald, Rex, and Ester zeroed in on the 'Blessing'. The CIA headquarters gets blown up, and Jack's blood can reverse the blessing, but it has to be introduced into the blessing from both sides at the same time. No problem if Jack's blood that Rex and Ester had been caring around wouldn't have been blown up too. But Rex and Ester are the clever little duo, they transfused Jack's blood into Rex. Of course Ester gets shot in hopes they will not stop the blessing to keep her alive, but Gwen makes a rather moving speech, and Jack and Rex sacrifice themselves to bring mortality back to Earth. Guess what? They both live, and Oswald plays the hero
and blows himself up along with one of the heads of the three families. Rex takes out another before collapsing. Unfortunately Gwen's father dies, and so does Ester. Yes, just as Gwen so elegantly said: "Death has come back."
After Ester's funeral the team talk about if they are going to keep Torchwood together, but before the question is answered Rex receives a text revealing the identity of the mole. When he tries to stop her, she shoots Rex in the chest, and then is shot down herself. Jack and Gwen comfort Rex as he dies in their arms, but just as Jack says that he is gone, Rex takes in a deep breath (much like Jack). Yep, that's right. Looks like Jack isn't the only immortal on Earth any more. The show ends with Rex say to Jack: "What did you do to me?"
Well Torchwood fans looks like we might have another season yet.

Torchwood: Miracle Day, Episode 9
Episode 9 opens with Gwen busting into a pharmacy by driving a car through the front window. Why? Meds for her category 1 father that they have hidden away behind a fake wall in their basement. After the police arrive, looking for her father, finding nothing, the story takes an unusual turn. A delivery man arrives at Gwen's home. But it's no ordinary delivery, or delivery man, and here's one I didn't see coming at all. The delivery man is none other that Oswald Danes.
After Gwen beats the crap out of him with a pot for touching her daughter, he tells them he wants to trade information. What he said is enough for Gwen to call Jack, and soon he arrives. Of course as they work things out the police burst in the door once again, only this time they find her father, and take him away to the overflow camp.
After piecing the information from Oswald and the news reels of the stories that he mentioned, all fixed by Jillie, they believe that the Blessing is somewhere in Shanghai, China. But a little more info comes through, and they are forced to look at Buenos Aires, Argentina as well. But it is Gwen's husband, Reece, That puts two and two together. That they are not looking at one point, but two points that are one, Antipodes. It had been staring them in the face the entire time in the Phicorp logo. So the team splits up... Jack, Gwen, and yes Oswald head
for China, while Ester and Rex meet in Buenos Aires. As the team heads out Gillie arives in China and is led to her destiny or fate which ever it may be. For the "Blessing" can kill as well as enlighten.
Jack isn't in Shanghai long before his gunshot starts bleeding again. A single drop of blood falls to the floor, unseen by Jack or Gwen, but it's actions draw Oswald's attention quickly. The blood, Jack's blood moves across the floor as if being pulled from a fixed point... The "Blessing" is calling to Jack, or at least his blood.
Doctor Who: Night Terrors
Wondering what happened on episode 9? Well here it goes...
The Doctor makes a house call. Yep a house call, or should I say an apartment call. He receives a cry for help from a young boy on Earth, and with out hesitation put the TARDIS on course. The Boy, poor little George has monsters in his bedroom cupboard. Or is it George that's the monster? As the Doctor
tries to figure things out, Rory and Amy take a wild elevator ride to the other side of reality, where after running for their lives Amy is turned into a living doll made of wood. Soon the doctor realizes what he has been missing, and we learn that George isn't a monster, nor is he a little boy, well not a human boy anyway. George is a lost, terrified, and lonely alien child, wanting nothing more than to be loved. When his unknowingly adopted father shows the boy that he loves him, and always
will, the alternate world he had created out of fear dissolves, restoring everyone within it to their proper state.
Not one of the best episodes I have seen, and a let down after "Lets Kill Hitler", but at least the moral is clear... Love conquers all, even in the Doctor's universe.

Doctor Who Episode 8 Prequel
Doctor Who: A Blast From the Past
This post is more for the younger viewers of Doctor Who, and the ones that are new fans. So let me start by saying, Doctor Who did not start in 2005. The first episode appeared on the BBC on November 23, 1963, with William Hartnell as the Doctor. The series ran until 1989 with Sylvester Mc Coy controlling the TARDIS. There was a TV movie in 1996 when Paul Mc Gann took the reigns as the eighth Doctor.
The show took on new life as it was resurrected in 2005 with Christopher Eccleston taking over the role as Doctor number nine. A year later David Tennant became Doctor number ten, handing off the TARDIS key to Matt Smith in 2010.
I will cover the Doctor's companions in a later Blog - so join up and keep checking back. If there is something that you would like to see, please let me know. And remember, I want to see your comments, so don't be shy.

Vampire Diaries Character Review: Elena Gilbert/Katherine Price
I want to start by saying that Nina Dobrev does a bang-up job portraying the polar opposites Elena and Katherine. Playing a dual role is not easy to start with, and these two can prove to be very difficult, but Nina makes it look easy and natural, even at her young age of 22 years-old. Both Elena and Katherine are so believable, and real, you'll be looking at every girl around you differently, if not a little fearful.
e whisky kissed voice. Listen closely and you will hear it yourself. Katherine may be every man's fantasy, but Elena is the type of person everyone loves and strides to be, or at least should anyway.Wednesday, August 17, 2011
