When The Walking Dead first aired I didn't pay much attention. Hello? Zombies aren't really my thing. I was a Game of Thrones addict. Loved Dexter. Orange Is The New Black is sooo good. Rome is still one of the best series I've seen. Everyone on House of Cards is scarier than TWD zombies. Sherlock is one of the most perfect, amazing, wonderful series EVER. (If you haven't watched Sherlock I strongly suggest you do.)
I started watching The Walking Dead (TWD) with my son as a sorta mother-son bonding thing. He liked all things zombie and I'll admit to rolling my eyes when he suggested we start the series on Netflix. Now, I can't get enough. This series draws you in. So much so that I'm writing about tonight's season finale.
If you're not interested in TWD, I understand. But if you are, share your thoughts, hopes, dreams in the comments!
Note: I have not read the comics. Everything written below is just me guessing.

A very sad day for me. Please remember him along with me....
Let's take a trip down Memory Lane for those who were away from the blog during the holidays. Come inside for El Som's 50 faves of the year, including the revelation of his top 10!
I really hope you guys scope out some of these songs. So much great music falls under the radar. That was certainly the case this year. I almost guarantee you…
Inducted as an 'Early Influence', they're so good that they should have gone in long ago. An extremely important link between early r & b, soul, and gospel. Led by a neglected genius in Lowman Pauling, who wrote songs that you know, and created a guitar style that was far ahead of his time. Please listen, you will enjoy these......
The older brother of the Temptations' David Ruffin (one of the greatest soul singers of all time), Jimmy Ruffin recorded one of Motown's most unforgettable hits. When I saw "Standing In the Shadows of Motown" at Theatre N, this was the song that closed the movie, and this was the song that we ALL sang as we left the theatre...
