The Walking Dead: Recap and Review of Episode 7

Continuing on from last weeks episode of the Walking Dead this week was all about The Governor again,and we see him in a whole different way this week.  We start to see the old Governor that we had all grown to love and hate at the same time and in this weeks episode he was more ruthless than ever.  This weeks episode was not only packed with action but it also answered a lot of questions for us that we were pondering since the beginning of the season. We are of course pumped for tonights episode which is also the mid season finale.

Recap:
The episode started off withThe Governor and the little girl, Megan.  The Governor was playing Chess with her while doing a few chores here and there.  Then The Governor starts to flash back when they fell into the pit and Martinez rescued them.  Martinez made it clear that he is in charge and won't take any order from The Governor, so if he wants to stay with the group he is taking orders from him this time.  The Governor agrees and then they proceed back to the camp.   The Governor was flashing back on all this while he was already with Megan at the camp, and we thought it was brilliant to do it this way.   Shortly after he started flashing back Megan started talking about how she thought she was a bad person.  And then The Governor assured her that she was a good person, however he could not assure her the same about him.  After they were done playing Chess all the boys at the camp including The Governor and Martinez went on a run for food and ammo.  On their run they came across some dead bodies and several of the dead bodies read things like "Murderer" or "Rapist", and The Governor and Martinez both seemed a little startled.  They then continued on into the house and had to fight off a few zombies along the way.   There were two brothers in the group named Mitch and Pete.  Pete was very timid, and almost seemed weak at times like he couldn't fight off a zombie.  Had sort of the warming personality that Rick does, but also doesn't have what it takes to protect a camp. Pete had a more of a heartless personality similar to The Governor.  Once they gathered food and The Governor saved Mitch they all sat around the fireplace.  Martinez told The Governor that the only reason he didn't kill him down in the pit was to save the little girl and if it hadn't been for her he would have killed him.  He also told The Governor that he thought he had changed.Meanwhile, back at the camp we discover that Tara finds a companion and is more into girls than boys.  The Governor and the rest of the boys return to camp and then everyone sits down at the picnic table for a meal like they are one happy family.  Martinez starts to talk about Woodbury and it looked like The Governor was going to freak out but he didn't.  Then later Martinez knocked on The Governors door and said he had a surprise for him.  He then brought him on top of the camper for some drinking and golfing.  Then BOOM, out of nowhere The Governor beats Martinez over the head with his gold club.  He then drags Martinez into the zombie pit and feeds him slowly to the zombies.  Then as he's doing it he starts screaming "No, No, Don't do it" almost as if he was trying to stop from killing him but another personality was taking over.  After that the next morning the group finds Martinez in the pit and assumes that he got drunk and fell into the zombie pit.  The Governor or no one else was suspected of foul play and then Pete was placed in charge.  The rest of the group did not seem happy but Pete explained this as being temporary.  Then it was time to go on another run so Pete, The Governor, and Mitch all went to look for more food and supplies.  They come across another camp with people that have tons of supplies.  So they go plan and figure out how they are going to raid the camp and then when they get back a few minutes later, someone else had already beat them to the punch.  The Governor and Mitch were very angry and discouraged.  Pete did not want to have any part in killing the camp for supplies which also made the other two boys angry. There was a man at the camp that was not quite dead yet, and Mitch then killed him.  Pete was not happy with this, or the fact that the other two boys were willing to kill other people for supplies. Once they got back to camp The Governor seemed almost as if he was going to have a mental breakdown and told the girls he wanted to leave.  They got all packed up, left, and then on their way out they were stopped in the road by some kind of mud pit with tons of zombies.  So then they decided to go back to the camp.  The Governor then decided to kill Pete when he returned and then told Mitch that he killed him.  Mitch seemed a little bothered by it, but not like most people would if someone had just killed their brother.  After taking out two more people, plus plenty of biters it looks like The Governor we all learned to hate is back in action.  His next plan is to take on the prison and so tonight we might possibly see another War between The Governor and the prison.  We just hope to at least find out Daryl's reaction to Carol getting banned and some other action. 

Review
We thought this weeks episode was not only compelling and exciting as The Walking Dead always is, and it also revealed a lot of things we had all been wanting to know for a long time.  Some people have not liked the last few episodes, but we feel like they are just as good as any.  We felt like having some back story about The Governor was necessary, since his past and his mentality was never really talked about before in depth. And once again we found out throughout the episode that The Governor isn't the innocent person that the show tried to lead on last week.  The show has tried to make The Governor look good several times, even at Woodbury.  And Martinez may have bought it but we certainly didn't.  For us we never thought he was necessarily evil, just extremely deranged and incapable of changing his ways.  We think the governor tries to be good but he is so deranged that he has a hard time controlling his own actions.  When he killed Martinez in tonight's episode, he was screaming "No, don't do it" over and over almost like there were two personalities trying to take over.    I will honestly say though even after reading all the Walking Dead comic books, novels and reading all the back stories on the governor that we have not once felt sorry for the man.  He may have been through a lot, but so has everyone else in the series.  Everyone else has lost a wife and a daughter and many more. Being a psychopath just isn't a choice in the World of The Walking Dead.  There isn't room for any loose cannons or time to help those people.  Fighting for survival is enough, let alone trying to worry about a psychopath near or close to you. Anyone that can't be trusted gets eliminated, and we don't feel it should be any different for The Governor.  He may not be able to control some of his actions but this doesn't make us feel any differently about the person he is.  Most mentally ill people we all have a tendency to feel sorry for, but not the governor because he has had the chance to redeem himself so many times.  We are not sure the governor was ever really sane, even when he had his wife and his daughter.  We learn in this episode that he was abused as a child and we are thinking this is what send him over the edge originally.  Reading The Walking Dead novels there is so much back story about the governor covered and even then we really don't feel compelled to feel sorry for the man.  Yes its sad that he lost his wife and his daughter, but so have many others.  We also thought it was interesting how The Governor only killed off people that seemed heartless.  He only killed off Martinez and the one brother that he thought couldn't break down and kill people.  Its almost like The Governor only wanted ruthless people in his group, and only people that could be out for blood with no remorse. There have been several scenarios with The Governor that we don't think he has been able to control.  Learning that The Governor was close to the Prison for quite some time wasn't a shock to us and something we predicted from the very beginning. We feel the governor has been causing a lot more trouble then just stalking around the prison.  We predicted from the beginning of the show that someone was feeding the walkers and also that it seemed too coincidental that only the people from Woodbury were getting sick, and we still feel this way.  We have a feeling that sickness either came from Woodbury or maybe from the governor feeding the zombies rats.  Either way, we think he's been causing turmoil at the prison from day one. Challenging the prison didn't go well for The Governor last time and we don't feel it will be any different this time.  We just hope that in the meantime that he doesn't take out any more casualties at the prison.  Another thing we thought was great was having a character that is Gay.  Its really hard to accept love in the World they live in and we thought it was an excellent idea to involve a gay character.  One of the things we love about The Walking Dead so much is the diversity in the show and how they always make a character for some fan to relate to.  This is one of the things that makes this show so incredible and we can't wait to see more characters in the future for fans to relate to. We are pumped for tonights episode and can't wait to see what the outcome is of The Governor trying to take over the prison.  Tonight's episode is the mid season finale and we cannot wait.  We enjoyed these few episodes with The Governor and his back story, but we are ready to get back to the prison.  We have included a video clip for you for tonight's finale.  Let us know what you think of the season so far and the Mid Season Finale.  We will be doing a Mid season review, episode review, and tons of other Walking Dead coverage to keep you occupied in the meantime until the season starts back up again. 



In every Walking Dead blog we like to touch base on some of our favorite Zombie related books and businesses.    First, is our friends at Senoia Coffee and Cafe.  They have some incredible food, and this fun filled fan environment is even known on set as The Woodbury Cafe.   The other place is The Woodbury Shoppe which is a very new Walking Dead merchandise store that is on set.  They have some great merchandise that you will not see anywhere else and they do have online ordering so if you can't make it in you can pick up some orders online.  You never know who you will run into at both places since they are both on set. As we learned last June at Denver Comic Con from Vince Gonzales and Michael Koske that many of the actors don't like to eat the food that is provided to them on set.  They prefer to go out and eat somewhere that isn't covered in blood and zombies so a lot of times you can catch them grabbing a bite at Senoia Coffee and Cafe and stopping by The Woodbury Shoppe. We also love zombie books and have some authors and artists we want to awknowledge.  First, we love Dan Conner's comic book strip My Gal the Zombie.  Dan also has a Kickstarter project to turn the comic strip into a graphic novel.  Please check out both.  Also, one of our favorite most recent zombie novels is Brian Parker's GNASH.  This is one of our favorite Novels we have read this year.  Also, speaking of novels that we mentioned in this blog if you have not read The Walking Dead novels, we highly recommend reading them.  They are excellent books and really go into more character with The Governor.  Robert Kirkman and Dan Bonsinga both wrote these novels and they are outstanding.  We will leave links for all these places below, please be sure to check them out.

Geek News: Star Wars Episode VII Cast announcements #1

Fans across the globe are pumped to see the new movie, Star Wars Episode VII.  It was announced last week that our favorite robot, R2D2 will be cast in this film.  There are also a few other cast possibilities that would excite fans everywhere if they became cast members.  We can't wait to see what the future guest announcements are for the new movie. 





Having our favorite robot in the new movie is very exciting, but Jedis and Siths everywhere have been wondering who they will cast in the new movie.  It was announced last week that Matt Smith and Jason Flemyng are both cast possibilities for the new movie.  I don't know about everyone else, but having The Doctor in the new Star Wars Episode VII movie is beyond exciting.  Geeks everywhere were sad to see Matt Smith go and are anxious to see him in another geeky role.  If Matt Smith ends up being part of the cast, we feel he will do an excellent job no matter what that role is.  Jason Flemyng was also announced as a possible cast member and you may have enjoyed his work in X-Men First Class.  He has also been in several other movies such as Snatch, and Two Smoking Barrels.  He has also made several appearances in several different television shows.  It seem as though Abrams is shooting for some very high quality actors and if this is the path that is being taken with the actors, then we are pleased.  And we hope that Matt and Jason are officially added as cast for Star Wars Episode VII.  If Matt is not part of this new movie we hope to see him in some sort of exiting geeky role soon.  Don't forget to join us for The Star Wars Celebration in 2015 just shortly before the movie is released.  Tickets are going fast so make sure you get them soon.

Geek News: Star Wars episode VII Millennium Falcon

Star Wars fans across the globe are getting pumped for the new movie, Star Wars Episode VII. Rumors were floating around for quite some time that J.J. Abrams was going to be having a full scale Millenium Falcon build for the new Star Wars movie to be released in 2015.  Well, as it turns out these rumors are actually true and according to several sources The Millennium Falcon made for the movie is completed inside and out.

When we heard that the rumors we had been hearing were true we were very excited and could not wait.  The inside and the outside of the Millennium is finished after only a year, and the production progress so far for this movie is absolutely amazing.  In just under a year To have something like this build for a movie is incredible, and hopefully this will be something that will end up in Museum once the movie is done so fans everywhere can enjoy this full scale model of The Falcon. We are pumped for the new movie and can't wait to hear more news, let alone see the new movie in 2015.  Please let us know what you think of the new Falcon and any comments you have about the new movie.  Hopefully we will have more news to deliver soon on the new movie, and we can't wait.  Don't forget to join us for the Star Wars celebration in 2015 just shortly before the new movie is released.  Buy your tickets fast because they will be selling out soon.

Geeking 4 Everyone's weekly top comic picks (11-27-13)

Every week we like to give our fans the top ten books we recommend and plan on buying each week.  We also like to give one kids recommendation in addition to our top ten. These weekly blogs do not include any spoilers just a summary of the book usually provided by the comic book distributor.  We also release comic book reviews every Wednesday that do include reviews with spoilers. Keep in mind the covers we provide are our preference so it may not be available or you may prefer a different cover.  Make sure to go to the comic distributors for information on every variant released for the books.  Over the next few months, there are some amazing titles and new series released to celebrate several anniversaries and we cannot wait.  This week there are also some great anniversary books to celebrate with. There are so many books this week coming out that we have been waiting for a a long time and we are more pumped than ever for this weeks books.  Here's our top ten for the week:


Batman The Dark Knight #23:  Picking up a new Batman book and especially The Dark Knight Series is always exciting for us.  Clayface is one of Batman's biggest enemies and this week we will see tons of action with Batman and Clayface.  Batman is a little in over his head this week and has to call in for some backup with Clayface on the loose.  You can expect to see Black Canary and Condor in this weeks book.  Do you think Batman will be able to catch Clayface with the help of his friends?  




Danger Girl The Chase #3:  We fell in love with Danger Girl when J. Scott Campbell was the mastermind behind the series.  And we can't say that we love it as much, but we are enjoying this series so far and we have enjoyed the excitement and action packed in this series.  This week, The Chase continues as the girls go from really fast to extreme rapid speed.  With their very important mission they start racing from Country to Country to try and save the World.  There is only one more book left in this series so you can expect this book to be packed with excitement for an epic ending in next weeks book.  Will the girls be able to save the World?  What are your predictions?




Doctor Who Vol. 3 #15:  After the 50th anniversary comic book celebration that ended last week, and the anniversary special that aired we are pumped for more Doctor Who this week.  It is Deadman's Hand part 3 of 4 and this weeks book has tons of excitement.  The Doctor and Oscar Wilde are on a hunt to change an aliens evil plan.  While they are busy with the Alien, Clara and Calamity Jane are on a hunt to find Wild Bill to find out about his return.  Will The Doctor and Oscar Wilde be able to stop the alien?  What will we find out about Wild Bill? 




Infinity #6:  This is the last book in this series and we are excited to see what the outcome will be, but we are sad to see this series ending.  The cover that chosen is a variant cover and there are several so make sure to check them all out before placing your order. This was definitely one of our favorite series over the summer.  Its the heroes of the Earth against Thanos and you can expect an epic battle.  Who do you think will win the battle?  Do you think there will be any casualties since this is the last book?  




Kids Choice: Sonic Universe #58:  Everyone loves Sonic and with this being a popular series this is our kids choice for the week.  One thing I love about comics is even the kids books some adults enjoy also.  This book seems to be popular with the wee ones and the adults.  The cover we have shown is a variant cover and your kids will love the art and story line in this book.  There is tons of battles at sea in this weeks book with Sonic and his friends to keep your child interested along with the amazing art.




Star Wars Legacy II: Prisoner of the Floating World #9:  Star Wars has always been one of our favorite novels and comic book series and we always enjoy picking up a new book.  We have picked up every book in this series and we are continuing on with our collection this week.  In this weeks book, Ania Solo is in over her head when her pod gets stuck in an Ocean full of poison.  Imperial Knight Jaio is with her and they are waiting to be rescued.  If that's not enough excitement for you then they also get in trouble with some pirates along the way.  You can expect lots of action and suspense in this weeks book.  Will Ania and Jaio get rescued or are they doomed with the pirates and Ocean of poison?




Superior Spiderman #22:  We have been enjoying this series and this week there will be tons of excitement.  The variant cover we have shown is done by one of our favorite artists, J. Scott Campbell.  This issue is also the first issue of The Darkest Hour and its the Spidey event of the year.   Venom (Flash Thompson) is back in town and has his first meet up with Superior Spiderman.  How will their meeting end up?  Will Flash find something unsettling about Peter Parke's new look?




Superman #25:  Every month when a Superman book is released we try and pick up a new book.  This week, Krypton returns and you can expect tons of action.  Superman finds himself locked in combat and must try and find a way to save the planet.  He will also encounter other enemies along the way and if that is not enough action for you there is a hero that departs the Kryptonite World.  Will Superman be able to save everyone or is there too many enemies?  Which Hero do you think will fall this week? 




Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #28:  We have always loved Ninja Turtles and especially when it involves Kevin Eastman.  The cover we have shown is the Kevin Eastman variant.  This week seems to be a great week for Eastman's books.  This week, the conclusion to city fall is here and Shredder is more determined than ever to reek as much havoc as possible.  He is concentrating on ruling the gutters of New York City, and it will be harder than ever for the brothers to stop him.  Will the Turtles be able to stop Shredder before he has caused too much damage? 




Walking Dead #117:  This is one series that we cannot wait for the next book to come out.  We feel waiting for the comic books is just as hard as waiting for the show.  To celebrate the 10th anniversary of The Walking Dead Kirkman made a series of twelve anniversary books from #115-#126.  The #115 was the rarest book of them all and if you were lucky you were able to get at least one of the fourteen variants released for this book.  We were able to pick up all fourteen variants from Mile High Comics' Walking Dead party and a few others free in giveaways.  We also picked up the last book released on the 13th of November, The Walking Dead #116.  This week we are reviewing both so make sure you catch our reviews.  We are pumped for The Walking Dead #117 and cannot wait to see where ALL OUT WAR takes us this week.  There will be tons of excitement in this weeks book when Ezekeil must survive on his own following the after effects at the battle of the sanctuary. What do you think will happen?  Will Ezekeil be able to survive?


 

Zombie War #2:  This was a short series and this is the only second and last book of this series but we really enjoyed the first book to this series.  There is so much zombie excitement going on in this series so if you love zombies this is just the book for you.  TMNT genius Kevin Eastman is the writer on this book and one of our favorite artists, Eric Talbot also worked on this book.  In the final book, there is a mysterious comet and all the dead military soldiers are headed at full force through the zombie apocolypse to destroy the World.  There is so much excitement going on in this book and some amazing art and writing.

Geeking 4 Everyone's Weekly Top Comic Picks (11-20-13)

Every week we like to give our fans the top ten books we recommend and plan on buying every week.  We also like to give one kids recommendation.  These weekly blogs do not include any spoilers just a summary of the book usually provided by the comic book distributor.  We also release comic book reviews every Wednesday that do include reviews with spoilers.

There are so many books this week coming out that we have been waiting for a a long time and we are more pumped than ever for this weeks books.  Here's our top ten for the week:

Avengers #23:  This is one series we have been enjoying and purchased every book since the beginning.  This week its going to get intense when the battle of the Earth moves planet side.   Its the Avengers vs the black order and Thanos takes center stage.  Who do you think will win the battle?  You can expect tons of excitement in this weeks book. 



Batman 66 #5:  Batman and Robin are under a spell by The Sandman.  Will they be able to wake up before Gotham gets in too much trouble?  We have been enjoying this series and have picked up every book so far and look forward to a new one when it comes out.  This book is illustrated by Eisner winner Colleen Coover and there is also a variant available for this book done by Dave Johnson.  There will be some great art in this book this week so don't miss out.




Batman and Two Face #25:  This has always been a great villain book for Batman readers.  It is filled with excitement and we have never been disappointed with the action and story line in this comic.  We also enjoyed when DC did Two Face for villains month in September.  In this weeks book, Two Face is still on a path of destruction and he can't wait to cause more turmoil in Gotham.  It is up to Commissioner Gordon and Carrie Kelly to help Batman and Gotham.  Who is Carrie Kelly and how can she help Commissioner Gordon and Batman?  Will they be able to help Batman and Gotham before its too late? 




Cable and X-Force #16:  This has always been one of our favorites and you can expect lots of revelations in this weeks book.  After the battle with the Uncanny Avengers and X-Force, Cable's abilities have been transformed and weakened.  What will happen when a new enemy comes in contact with him?  Will he be able to fight off the enemy with his powers altered? 




Bloodshoot & Hard Corps #16:  We have always enjoyed the Bloodshot Comic book series by Valiant.  We are never let down and the series is always packed with action and surprises.  This week, Bloodshot is exhausted and weak and he and Charlie are fighting.  The rest of the group is not much stronger than Charlie is, and H.A.R.D. Corps has experienced their first big casualty.  They are weaker than ever and they are about to take on Harada.  They are weaker than ever and they are about to go on one of the deadliest missions yet.  Will they be able to get their strength back in time to fight Sarada?  Will They be able to fight Harada and win?




Doctor Who Prisoners of Time #12:  It is the last book in the year long celebratory Doctor Who 50th Anniversary series.  We are sad to see this series go and don't want it to come to an end but we are also excited to see what happens in the last book.  The last book is the book that we have all been waiting for in this epic anniversary series.  We have loved every single book in this series and cannot wait to pick up the last book in this series.  In the last book of this series, all eleven doctors must team up and defeat the most unlikely and powerful ally.  We have a feeling this last book will very closely follow the 50th Anniversary special being aired this Saturday evening.  Make sure you stay tuned to our Facebook page for all the geek news and blogs before the event on Saturday. 




Kids Pick: Ben 10 #1:  There are quite a few kids books this month that your little ones would love.  Our little one has been pumped for this new Ben 10 series.   We were able to get him some of these books on FCBD and also Halloween Comicfest.  He loved them both and couldn't wait for more.  We love Ben 10 as parents because there is always something educational and its a great story line.  Ben 10 is one of the most watched cartoons right now and its great for kids to get the same joy from reading as from television.  We feel this book would be great for boys and girls because both the male and female characters in this book are pretty exciting.  In this weeks book,  Ben and his team mates go on a cruise vacation only to find out it might not be so relaxing when they encounter a serpent that is not so friendly.  There is also a new Adventure Time this week if your kids are not wild about Ben 10.  You would be great getting either one, or both.




Uncanny X-Men #14:  We have always loved X-Men and especially the Uncanny X-Men series.  We try to pick up at least 3-4 X-Men books every month to add to our collection.  This week, Magneto sets out on an objective that puts the X-Men and the Marvel universe on edge.  Also we will find out how the new Xavier School has changed. What do you think Magneto is planning?  Do you think the X-Men will be able to stop Magneto before its too late?  How do you think the school has changed?




X-O Manowar:  We are very excited for what Valiant has in store for us this week with X-O Manowar.  If you love Unity and Eternal Warrior you will get a taste of a little bit of everything.  After reading last weeks Unity we are pumped with this book.  In last weeks Unity the mission was to take down X-O Manowar so if you picked that book up last week then you should get this book.  We have a feeling the two go great together and the Unity #1 from last week ties into X-O Manowar this week. In this weeks book, X-O Manowar goes up against Unity, and it is the most intense and difficult battle that he will have yet.  You will also get to see appearances from Harada, Ninjak, Eternal Warrior and Livewire in one of the deadliest battles yet. 




Zero #3:  We have loved this new series ever since it came out and we look forward to a new book every time its released.  Its circa 2019 and Edward Zero looks into a mirror and does not like what he sees in the mirror.  What do you think Edward sees in the Mirror and what revelations will be made?  What other problems do you think Edward will run into?  What else will he find in the future?
