The Walking Dead

[Pinky]

Ok, back to work.



If you're here and haven't seen this episde yet, there's still time to CLOSE YOUR EYES.



There should be a support group for preachers who watch The Walking Dead.



I'm already cringing going back through these *snif*.



Embrace the dirty Daryl.



What was that music, anyway? Here's the answer. Here's the song.



Now I've got that song stuck in my head. "Now you're going to die." How apropos.



Eugene is comfortable. If Jake from State Farm were in the zombie apocalypse I'm sure he'd lose the khakis, too.



Idea people are important, too. Just sayin.



I actually like Eugene because he is annoying you guys. >=D haha

[Pinky]

Time to go shopping.



Ha, good one, apparently Radio Shack has earned zombie status in several retail articles. Dead brand walking



You know, with all the biblical metaphors and references and names, one could conceivably stretch a Noah character review into bridging the gap between the world purge and a new hope, except the 'great flood' he's caught in later is demonstrated as not having been something overcome after all in a tiny place of relative safety. (You guys know they offer college courses for political spin, right? I so missed my calling.) But I'm sprinting wildly ahead of myself, sorry about that.



They're like old rubber bands...



This next snip clicks to original post, and here's why. Plus I'm a speed reader. And know how to use a pause button. By the way, Brad does the Blogging Dead recaps for the Panama City News Herald, but be warned- he's super spoilery and writes like he's bored. I think it's more fun recapping what you guys say than throwing another recap onto a pile of thousands, but I digress.



Like this one. Click it. You. guys. are. awesome.



We'd all voted Aiden off the island anyway. Can being eaten alive possibly hurt much more than two huge spikes through your collarbone/shoulder blade and your ribs/lung? I'm pretty sure I'd have been numb with shock or blacked out. Like watching lions eat a zebra, it goes into shock long before it's dead. I keep digressing, what is up with me today? >=l FOCUS!



One of those blurred line moments, two completely different scenes. Since I wasn't actually watching the show at the time because y'all keep me glued to the feeds, I didn't catch the implications going on between Carol and the kid until I rewatched later. It's easy to blow other people's kids off, but there was a time in my life when a kid came to me hinting at a problem and I was too unaware to alert someone, which is kind of awful to look back on and see now. That the kid saw a new stranger as less of a threat during a zombie apocalypse than his own family gave me chills. Please check out this site if you have questions. National Domestic Violence Hotline



I assume you all are paying attention, as well. BE READY!!!



We suddenly shoot off into a whole new direction and my eyeballs twirled as the feeds screeched around corners I didn't see coming.

[Pinky]

I'm a big OSHA fan. I'd be stripping and sterile fielding all over that zombie apocalypse.



I get twitter cursed with Chuck Norris parody accounts following me every time I retweet stuff like this.



This might still be possible. The Walking Dead: Season 4b - Is Abraham BAD NEWS For Daryl Fans?



How many of you really walked around saying this at work Monday?



It was such a beautifully organized warehouse before our guys got there and messed things up. Were the zombies all on break when the apocalypse hit?



Thul Couture Yes, you do. You know you do.



Golden tweet award. Someone put a star sticker on this guy's head. Click it for full appreciation.



"In my office!" *duckhuddle*



@bonenado told me he actually lays awake unable to sleep after Walking Dead because he thinks about all the things he'd have done differently. We're gonna be so ready.



LOVE. THIS. VIDEO.

I'll be back.

[Pinky]

This is kind of how I envision grown up Opie rockin the zombie apocalypse.



I read that the hardest part of filming the revolving door scene in Shanghai Knights was avoiding the camera reflection. I catch camera reflections in all kinds of shows, like old Star Treks, etc. You can see behind the scenes on how the Walking Dead revolving door part was filmed. They've got so many people being reflected in frame bursts, I'm sure we could find a slip if we frame by frame at home.



lol



Same thing. For some of us.



See. Same thing.



I can't even imagine testing my nerves like this if I had that coming up.



This was too cute to censor.



I think the best part of the live tweets is when directions all go skidding out of control and suddenly you're just surfing pure emotion.



Live filming a live tweet. You know, one of these days they'll show us the TV show split screened with running live media reaction, and in the end we'll wind up watching ourselves watch stuff. And then Daryl will say one of our names and the screaming will start.



Well, played, AMC.

[Pinky]

*guilt stabs through the night* Oh, and Datu is a character from a zombie podcast.



Even I almost took this one personally.



True dat.



Every week someone thinks it's Glenn. That's how they get us.



#Eugeneluv Whodathunk?



slow clap



Word. But don't give them ideas.



I'm still back there at "Glengence". Unfortunately, what should really be the correct spelling was used first by this guy.



Psychopath, actually. He's basically saying push them out to die. Of all the people we've met, he's the one who can't seem to forgive, and he keeps demonstrating destructive compulsions. If he were a zombie he'd dial those nerves down a bit. Get this boy some sanctified xanax.



But has he kissed anyone yet? If he kisses Daryl, then that's Judas kissing Judas. O_o wo



One more to go.

[Pinky]

Someone put a 'kick me' sign on his back, please.



Kill a guy because Carol says to or beat some mother-loving sense into him. Kill a guy because Carol says to or openly engage in a public confrontation about domestic violence. Kill a guy because Carol says to or... Aw, hell, just go kill the guy- strike one.



Strike two. Hey, mentally ill sabotage is regrettable but we gotta keep these people SAFE. Wonder if two mentally ill people cancel each other out. Wait, how many mentally ill/nervous breakdown people have we tagged now?



Bcuz Glengence.



You know... those strawberries coulda been laced with something. That's probably how I'd handle stuff like that if I were around there. "Here, kid, give your father these cookies." "Here, pastor, have some strawberries." I don't know how these heart attacks keep happening.



At least he's not a preacher...



I'm done. On the off chance that you haven't heard TWD autotuned yet, here you go.

[Pinky]

This last weekend was all about The Walking Dead: Season 5, Episode 15 "Try" (22 Mar. 2015). I've not done a rewatch at all yet, so this is all you guys. Usual rulz- I get 10 graphics per panel, pic snips click to sources, and I'll link updates from twitter as I go.

And before I even start I got so totally distracted in youtube. Have I linked this one yet? It's a weird work jam, but I got a kick out of it.

I missed warm up but I managed to jump in early enough to catch my boyz. Click it to see the whole convo, sort of a #SnarkAlecs style remembrance tribute to Noah.



Nick was definitely not a saint. Get it? Saint Nicholas... Too early? Move along.



Rob Lowe's resume- "Prime Walking Dead commercial hotspot personality". Because that alone just trumped the rest of his career, right?



Srsly.



If Holly were in the zombie apocalypse she'd just shoot anybody that got in the way of her Crown, lol. Rick's beard would've gotten outa her way.



We can dream. I was actually agreeing about Gabriel. I like dirty Daryl.



Twitter revs up like a biker gang before the show starts, and then it immediately turns into this (at the end of the video) after the show starts. Tell me I'm not right. I don't know why everyone cuts off the ambulance escort scene, that would've been perfect for my point here. (Yes, I watched a whole pile of them looking for it.)



That's right, guys, big reminder here, next week is 1 1/2 hours long. Plan your snacks, pets, and family life accordingly.



O_O *wo* Might wanna poke your eyeballs out- don't do it! Wait till I'm done with the live tweet review!



All righty, you know the drill. Back in a few.

[Pinky]

Sorry about that, wound up racing a thunderstorm around town. Where were we?

He had me at "all ships at sea". Look at the cool Sharknado contest they're hoping to win.



I once tried to follow all the hashtags going on in different feeds. My laptop melted. I really like #demdeadz



I think AMC should use this haiku in a commercial, don't you? Wins "Best Use of a Walking Dead Haiku".



Someone asked the other day who remembers getting busy signals during phone calls. I remember party lines near the reservation where I grew up, before there were busy signals. Twitter is awesome. #fullcircle



Now, see, I would be one to discuss where she got that awesome casserole dish. *wo* Just discovered AMC posted her cookie recipe.



+_+ Dude, that is so Terminus. But after what happened, and what might happen still, be sure and get them from her son, right?



Doesn't that make you want to rummage around in their stacks of recordings? I'd wanna see archives of *everything*. Closest thing they've got to TV. We haven't seen much of Maggie, I really hope she's studying up on their crap.



Recording things, whether they are lies or not, makes them TRUTH to other people later. I think Deanna is covering all their butts in the event of... something. I could be wrong. I nearly always am. But that's how TV turns stuff into ~news~, amIright? Created content churns opinions, and then spin is the glue that holds government together. Deanna said she was creating a new government. We also know she creates her own outlaws, and look, she has proof why she does things to the next bunch. All right, I know, I'm overthinking.



More succinctly said. Thank you.



That would've been a crazy thing, if they'd gotten to Alexandria around Christmas... o_o That would've been a mighty big tub of koolaid for Sasha to drink.



Back in a minute.

[Pinky]

Who wants to see Nick on the Talking Dead couch of death? >=l *army of hands go up*



I wonder if Deanna has a hotline set up yet in her government thingy.



I couldn't agree more with this. Carol is the only serial killer we can count on to get the job done right.



You know how many tweets I saw saying they hoped Carol poisoned the casserole? o_o You guys are a little scary yourselves.



This is a real thing. The Art of Eating through the Zombie Apocalypse: A Cookbook and Culinary Survival Guide



Shout out to Vicki Addesso. No, this isn't her, lol. And, ironically, she'll never read this because she's never in live mode and way behind on the show, so she avoids my links in general because of spoilers. Go creep her out, click this pic & RT & FAV the crap out of it. >=D If you quote it, add #TheWalkingDead hashtag to it, lol.



Y'all are like cats on a car battery. Just saying.



I dunno, I still think shaving his Moses beard off lowered his cred.



Gold. Star.



This guy is singlehandedly responsible for keeping #Continuum surging on twitter. And he's cool. Thou shalt follow him.

[Pinky]

*hours of unplugged laptop later* O_O We got hail twice and the closest tornado made it up in the county just south of me. But that means nothing in the big scheme of things, right? All our guys are getting up like it's Monday morning and they hafta drag their butts to work.



Oh, yeah, Nick was lying. Nick looks like he needs a hit real bad.



It fell off in the shower.



And they lived happily ever after.



Panics sweeps across the twitter land... o_o



Slow motion, seriously? I still haven't rewatched, bad me! >=o I keep jaunting off into spoiler reviews about how season 5 will end.



Sorry, had to see that chicken ad again.

I put that into a translator and still wasn't sure what it really meant, but great shot.



Feral.



Every hair on my arms went up when I saw the Sasha tweet. o_O



I can't believe this is Thursday already. Being so slow getting this out is actually super pumping me up for Sunday. ONLY 3 DAYS!!!!

Hang on, gotta load more stuff.

[Pinky]

This had a sort of next gen innocence to it, didn't it? Like a ghastly twist on the Garden of Eden or something.



I hope those kids are using protection.



I don't know, after that whole Noah scene last week, I'm wondering if Glenn is next to crack.



"Sasha Connor?" O_O



Hey, beats doing laundry.



Or 'cards' for short. Shirts vs cards.



Sasha no longer fears death. Death fears HER.



Carl likes 'em creepy. That's cool, have some little goth babies.



Nooooooooooooo! Don't tame this boy!



Maybe Carol shoulda sicced Sasha on Pete...



Hang on, brb.

[Pinky]

Can you imagine sales blowing through the roof if they really did this?



You wouldn't believe the Walmart bots I got for retweeting that. Bots are twitter zombies.



I'm not catching the extorsoists thing, maybe it'll be asplained on a podcast here or there? Kelly does 3 that I know of, totally worth following on twitter. I'm gonna take a wild stab and guess 'band of extortionists' got wildly past the autocorrect parameters. In the meantime, I wanna see a line of '#extorsoists' novelty wear come out and boggle some minds. I wanna be an extorsoist. It just sounds cool.



I generally censor, but that was exactly my thought, too. Next thought was why aren't they utilizing big balloons like #TheKelly always insists should be a thing in a zombie apocalypse?



Did you guys vote? I tried but it got stuck. I think this voting via registered social media account thing is going to be the next big wave in the American future. Presidents will boast they got more votes from twitter than a TV show did.



If only my loved ones knew the joy of brain screeching at the 'save the #porchdickwife' thing, but alas, they don't watch The Walking Dead.



I still think losing that beard was a really bad idea... It was like an image filter that created this awesome illusion. He's naked and vulnerable without it. And probably cold.



Here we go, questioning Maggie again. Maybe it's time we embraced her being a mere accessory. Who knows, maybe she's having doubts and Deanna is brainwashing her. Will we ever know???



Ok, that wasn't creepy at all. o_o



If Pete's name was Richard, Rick could call him Dick to his face.



I need food. Hang on.

[Pinky]

So most of you know by now I miss a LOT on the show because I'm so busy trying to keep up with the live tweet feed, which is awesome because you guys rock. I mentally tick your tweets off like bullet points when I go back and really watch the show later. Your voices will be in my head with me. Twitter is my #TWDfamily. There are so many fine tweets in that hashtag feed.



+_+ Please don't, dude.



Just throw down already, geez.



Word.



The Luftballons song is stuck in my head now, AGAIN. You guys know that song is about the Berlin Wall coming down, right? This is someone speculating about who the wolves really are.



THANK YOU.



How is MichOWNED not a merch thing? Seems like a golden sales opportunity. I searched on zazzle and ran into this cool eggs and bacon skull tee, though.



Yeah, she owned the whole show right there.



One more.

[Pinky]

You mean beat his butt. =P haha



Yeah, and saying it with blood all over you kinda makes you look exactly like Gabriel painted you, dude.



No kidding. *_*



That's it. Remember, next week is 90 minutes long! That means a lot of us might wind up in twitter jail, so have your jail accounts logged in and ready to go. Don't wait till the last minute to run to the bathroom and get your snacks. Make sure your pets and little kids have been taken care of and let all your friends and family know it's ok if you don't answer the phone or check your texts for an hour and a half of your life. BECAUSE THIS IS LIFE OR DEATH.

Ok, it's just a live tweet, lol.

By the way, I may have miscounted Kelly Thul's podcast involvements. It's probably more like 8 or something. Counting is hard, yo.

:edit: I have been learned what extorsoists is! And it is awesome.

[Pinky]

Twitter exploded last night during The Walking Dead: Season 5, Episode 16 Conquer (29 Mar. 2015), so thank goodness all the powers that be had cyber space braced and ready. Twitter is probably the truest test for tech support in all venues, and it looked to me like launch and lift off went beautifully, no twitter breakage, no servers failing, just fans freaking out en masse all over the globe. You know what this means? Brain chip beta testing is getting closer. You know I'm first in line.

K, here's the rulz. I get 10 graphix per panel, pic snips click to sources, and I link updates via twitter as I go. It's all about you guys, and I'll admit right now I haven't even rewatched the show before this one yet, so I'm really spinning in feed onslaughts now. It didn't help that my day started with THIS.



Like these? Click to go get some.



This kinda feels like we've come full circle, or back to square one or something. All you guys thinking about shaving epic beards, wo be to ye, right? Stay Moses, yea verily.



Ok, if we're seeing that even Gabriel's faith can't stop anything in the zombie apocalypse, how do you think your praying can stop the filmmakers of the zombie apocalypse? They like watching you guys cry all over twitter.



This pre-show warm up felt a little tenser than usual... o_o



Don't text and drive!!! O_O



THIS CHICK IS DOING HER BEST TO SAVE DARYL. YOU'RE WELCOME.



Prescription refills for emergency inhalers suddenly flood the local pharmacies.



This reminds me of people sitting in church holding KJV bibles while the preacher is reading out of NLT. I'm blown away someone is actually watching this show with comic book in hand after all the deviating they've done. *wow* #hardcorefan



Annoyed vs destroyed is the big debate in filming lately. Nowadays you've gotta CRUSH your audience if you want them to keep crawling back for more abuse.



Hang on while I load more stuff.
