I am a few weeks late, but we just started watching The Walking Dead. If you have been under a rock and have heard nothing of this, please watch the video below as well. This series is amazing. It feeds into one of my biggest geek loves....ZOMBIES. I love anything to do with zombies. Plus, I love dystopian stories as well. Ever since I was a kid, photos or scenes like the one above struck a chord with me. I told my husband as we were watching this, that that shot right there, is THE shot. It gives me chills and warm fuzzies. Morbid? Maybe. But, everytime I see the shot of the abandoned city, chaos left behind, i get warm fuzzies. The empty city, with traces of what man used to be ads to the fuzzies as well. But enough of my fuzzies, back to the show. The Walking Dead has already been confirmed for a second season. The story line is a good one and I am thinking it is going to just get better.
I was super excited to see Lennie James on this series as well. I certainly hope we see more of him. For those of you who missed an awesome show called Jericho that aired for about 1.5 seasons beginning in 2006, you missed out on a great piece of television. I was so upset when it ended and Lennie James' character on the series, Robert Hawkins, was awesome.
Another actor in The Walking Dead, that can be seen in a little movie called Love Actually, is Andrew Lincoln. He was one of my favorite characters in Love Actually, by the way. Yes, I am still a girl and yes, I do still like some girlie movies too. :) Remember this little scene?
So it shows his diversity that he could go from being uber romantic in showing big cardboard signs to Keira Knightley to what you are about to see in the trailer below.
It is apparent that AMC has an awesome team working on this show. The special effects have been awesome, but the storyline has been awesome as well. I can't wait to see what they have in store for us next.
