Before we begin I've found a preview of what has the potential to be the best new show in years. It's from Aaron Sorkin and will air on HBO. I've known it was in the works for about a year but this is the first preview for it that I have seen. It looks to be the perfect combination of West Wing and Sports Night.
"Beside the Dying Fire" Air Date 3-18-12
When ever they show large groups of zombies I always find myself looking for the extras that aren't doing a very good job at being undead.
I've never noticed it before but all the walkers either have multiple layers of clothing or are wearing long sleeve shirts.
I thought that the producers did a very good job of showing how a hoard forms in the opening segment.
And the award for worst mother in the world goes to... Lori! Considering all she seems to want to do is play homemaker, you'd think she could keep an eye on her kid.
Instead of driving around and shooting wildly at all the zombies; wouldn't it make more sense to try and use the cars to distract the walkers into following the them and then pick off the stragglers that didn't take the bait.
It's funny, after watching Top Shot and seeing some of the best shooters in the world struggle to hit their targets while shooting from a moving vehicle, any scene where these amateur shooters were able to constantly hit every single thing they were shooting at completely took me out of the moment and ruined any suspension of disbelief that I had.
With Jim dead inside and the farm being completely overrun with walkers I hope this isn't the end for Dale's Winnebago.
Alright it's a commercial break, I've got to remember to breathe. I was talking with some friends over the weekend about intense TV shows and movies, and I think the best way to tell if something is truly intense is how long it takes before your brain tells you "remember to breathe" after the scene is over. So far this episode ranks up there with the most intense things I've seen all season.
Right before they went to commercial they showed a shot of the barn engulfed in flames starting to collapse in upon itself, and right next to it you could see the shell of the Winnebago. Boo.
Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City is the perfect game it advertise right after that last scene. Too bad everything I've heard says the game sucks.
You would think that they would have been smart enough to have had all the cars loaded with basic supplies in case something like this happened. You would also think that before they left the rendezvous point they would have taken the supplies that they left on the car for Sophia.
The hung-over zombie spot for Mad Men, where the cast awakes for drinking too much set to the music from Walking Dead was perfect.
Lori basically plants the idea that Shane is losing it and can't be trusted and has to go, and then when Rick tells her what happened she acts all upset and taken aback and can't believe that he did it.
I loved how they introduced Michonne, but only gave us a little teaser as to who she is. I was wondering how they were going to introduce her to the show with the way they have grown to trust no one that they meet. I guess having her save Andrea's life works.
Well we have finally gotten to the prison, not to spoil anything but next season is where the show really starts to get dark.

The crowd tonight is crazy. They are able to get indy style chants going in a huge arena. It's the kind of thing that you usually only see in New York, Chicago, or certain parts of Canada. At first I though Florida was going to have to be added to that list and then I realized that last night was Wrestlemania and most of the crowd was out of towners that came in for the weekend. Still the crowd was something special that hasn't really been seen since the attitude era ended.
The Rock promo shows how much better things are when the wrestlers are allowed some freedom and have the ability to be loose and not so scripted.
The crowd doing Bryan's Yes chant might become the new What? chant, but for right now it is pure magical. Who knew that losing in 18 seconds would be the best thing for his career. If the WWE doesn't see the writing on the wall and capitalize on it they are missing out.
I have to give props to Ziggler for the bump on the ramp with Brodus Clay. It looked sick and had to hurt.
They did the right amount of build with Lord Tensai. A few weeks of "Lord Tensai is coming" and then have him actually come as opposed to Alberto Del Rio's intro that seemed to last for about six months.
I was also glad that they at least slightly acknowledged that Tensai used to be know as Albert. One look at him and you could tell there was no way to hide it.
They are doing a different version of the Punk drinking angle that Punk did in ROH with Raven, I suppose they spent last summer doing a different version of Summer of Punk, why not steal the Raven stuff also.
When Jericho went to smash the bottle of whiskey over Punk's head; the bottle broke in his hand well before it came anywhere near to Punks head. They must have gotten their bottles the same place that The Amazing Race got the bottles for the challenge from a few weeks ago.
All the Team Johnny guys got some sort of perk from him tonight. Swagger and Ziggler got a shot at the I.C. belt, Henry got a shot at the WWE Title. That is except for The Miz, Miz won the match for Johnny at Wrestlemania and all he gets is a match against Ryder?
Brock Lesner is back, hopefully this leads to some good things and he has more of an impact and is around more than The Rock was this last year. The only thing I would do is get Paul Heyman there immediately to be his mouth piece.
