No Spoilers:
With season 6 on the megahit TV show AMCs The Walking Dead almost drawn to a close, I’m taking time out to rate it as I see it. Has it been the best season so far? IMHO, no… but it has produced the best episode yet, even topping my favourite episode Season 5 episode 1. This is not to say it’s been bad, I would certainly give it 2nd place next to Season 3. In order of my personal favourite to least favourite they go 3,6,5,1,4,2 !
The make up and SFX continue to improve and thrill in every way they should in season 6, and the storylines still surprise, delight, disturb and leave you gobsmacked with nail biting cliffhangers. Next monday sees the season 6 finale here in the UK which is a nice 90 minute long special. I can almost guarantee we will see the deaths on more than one major hero character, and whilst I don’t know who… I am pretty certain I know who.
Thankyou AMC , Robert Kirkman, and all the cast and crew for keeping The Walking Dead the best show on television to this day!
So the Royals get a chunk of our tax money, but what do they do for us in return? A sight more than you would think. Watch this video to find out more!
I wonder if the amazing #JohnCarpenter is aware that #LWT (London Weekend Television) pilfered his music for #TheThing for an episode of Strange But True focusing on the Enfield Poltergeist.
That said, it was a shitty return to work today. No sign of anybody doing anything since I’ve been off. My sponge is away and I’m missing her VERY much. See you Friday morning sweetie. xx
So what do I think about the top 3 questions? Let’s see shall we now I have had a good think about it.
Why don’t the Zombies go for each other?
A lot of films including Shawn Of The Dead and Redneck Zombies suggest mimicking them can get you safely past a horde. The Walking Dead puts the emphasis on covering yourself in guts to look and smell the same. I think both reasons don’t fly. Look at their eyes, the iris is changed. I believe they see in thermal vision. The living glow. The undead do not, as they have no body heat being dead. They’re also attracted to light, and sensitive to fire. Makes perfect sense.
How long would it take the apocalypse to go global?
Approximately 30 to go globally pandemic. This is based on bites etc, and if there is little or no warning and containment. Also if it breaks out on a continent rather than an island country.
How long would the apocalypse last?
Not as long as you may think. Given at its peak the remaining survivors are in shelters thus cutting off the food supply, we should then take into consideration how long it takes a Zombie to rot. If it’s the same rate as a normal corpse, then a Zombie would reach Butyric fermentation (where the flesh including brain turns to sludge) at about 25 days. Maybe sooner in hotter weather. They would literally just drop down dead and all be gone withing 2-3 months.
So it’s not all bad 🙂 The question should be can humans hold out that long in shelters without going nuts on megalomania? Food for thought!!
Wibbly wobbly. Only one person will understand this, the rest will just think they do. Started a jogging routine again last night. Hope runners knee doesn’t set in again like last year. I’m going extra careful this time. Taking glucosamine and wearing knee supports. This morning, I’ve made four new Geocaches up. That’s seven I need to deploy, and an eighth one to replace the one that got razed. Sad when dick heads get involved like that. One things for sure the new one wont be as lavish. Funny word lavish, means nice but sounds like you’re referring to something as a bog.
Love you my Sponge!!! :Dxxx

Then again, you may not have read Creature Of Havoc 🙂
You know travel bugs? Those little trackable thing you put into geocaches? Well I own three of them. Ones in the hands of someone who isn’t active anymore, ones in a decommissioned cache in the Pennines and another has been lost due to a pillock. It’s within my wit to get it going again but these things cost money. If you’re not gonna move them on why take them?
Anyways rant over!
Works been OK this week. This evening Sponge is at work so I’ve taken to tidying my bedroom whilst listening to a few old favourite albums. Hunting High And Low by a-ha , Adrenalize by Def Leppard and The Wall by Pink Floyd ,Took me right back to when I was 20. Hell….half my life ago in May ! When I think of all my past I feel a large part was wasted around people I shouldn’t have even given the time of day. I was largely ignored, held back, bullied to the point of no confidence. Yet the year after I broke away from all that was one of the best of my life. Last year wasn’t too bad either. This year….. I can do a lot this year with a certain Vic. If/when we do….it’ll be ‘the’ year 😉 x
