Anyway, we're talking writing, werewolves and whole lot of good things. So come on over and grab a drink, sit a spell and have some fun at the coolest bar in the 'Verse.
SPOILERS AHOY
I missed Monday so of course I have to do my Walking Dead round up today. What an episode!We finally got the Big Meet between Rick and the Gov. I was rather hoping that Rick would tear into the Governor or just shoot him, but as a friend rightly pointed out, the Gov is a great villain and without him what would happen to the rest of the season? Still, he is threat the Rick sould have no compunction about putting down. He did it to those guys in the bar last season. Of course, Andrea tried to take charge of this little meet cute, but they kicked her out on her ass. Like those two would ever listen to a thing she says.
I love that we got to see a different side of Milton. He really is just a science geek completely out of his element and not the twitchy psycho I thought he was. There was a terrific scene with Hershel when Milton asked to see his stump and Hershel told him that he couldn't because he didn't buy him a drink first.
And a great walker kill off between my badass Darryl and the Gov's guy, Martinez. Baseball bats and arrows...loved those kills. And yeah, Darryl probably will have to put him down, but he was actually cool this time. You got a glimpse into him after he talked about losing his wife and kids to the walkers.
Glenn and Maggie are back in accord. I know everyone stand and cheer. Young lovers on the outs are a real bitch to deal with. ;)
In spite of these little niceties, war is coming. The Gov is not going to stand for Team Prison to exist and he wants Michonne as his little pet to torture before he kills her slowly, piece by piece.
SPOILERS OVER
This weekend was very busy. I had brunch with the wonderful Michael Di Gesu. We had so much fun and his bright spirit was just what I needed after this last week. I also went to an unexpected double feature with my nephew. We saw Jack the Giant Slayer and Snitch. Both were excellent and kept me right on the edge of my seat, Snitch in particular. Dwayne Johnson does a terrific job, playing a character that is really different from what he normally plays. He even gets his ass beat here and shows a lot of vulnerability. Loved Ewan MacGregor in Jack. He was so heroic and upstanding, not afraid to defend his kingdom to the last.
Sorry I did not post yesterday. The time change killed me and I have been off ever since. I got caught in a rain shower on the way to work. Missed my bus and had to walk to the train. All with no umbrella because I forgot it at home. I looked like a drowned dog when I got to work. Late, of course. Grrr...
So did everyone have a great weekend? Was it so so? Or did it suck out loud and sideways?
I'm sure Byron won't notice one Cosbolt missing!
ReplyDeleteJack the Giant Slayer was good. Better than the uneven Oz, although it didn't do as well at the box office.
I'm happy Byron won't notice. The Cosbolt sure is a handy ship. Very fast. I loved Jack and wish it would have done better, but ah well.. the vagaries of the box office.
DeleteHooray for the brunch! I'm waiting for the pics to arrive in my mailbox :)
ReplyDeleteYou know I always share the good stuff, Dezz. ;)
DeleteI'v been wondering how both of those films were, glad to hear they're not terrible :)
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed them, Mark. You should definitely see them if you get the chance.
DeleteSo sorry you had to walk in the rain Melissa! Jack and Snitch are both in my "maybe watch" list, but this makes me rethink it.
ReplyDeleteI wish that rain would have melted me just a little LOL. Do see them if you get a chance, I thoroughly enjoyed them.
DeleteThought it was a great build up espisode for the coming climax. Really felt like one of those stories from WW2 during cease fires where soliders from both sides just sat around and chit chatted.
ReplyDeleteIt did! I knew it reminded me of something, but i could not for the life of me describe it at the time. I can't wait to see what happens.
DeleteSorry for the unexpected extra shower! Hope you stay warm and dry the rest of the week!
ReplyDeleteAww.. thank you my friend. :)
DeleteOn Talking Dead they wondered who would be more satisfying as the killer of the Gov ('cause we all know he's going down, right? Right.): some said Michonne, others said Maggie. I think I'd prefer to see Andrea do it, though I doubt she will. I mean, she had the perfect opportunity to do it (like Carol had told her too!!!!!), and she couldn't swing it, alas.
ReplyDeleteDid you see Daryl's commercial??? He's adorbz! http://www.wetpaint.com/network/video/watch-norman-reedus-in-the-walking-dead-super-bowl-commercial-for-time-warner-cable-video
I so wanted to bitch slap Andrea into next year. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. She should have run the Gov through. anyway. I think Michonne will take him down. I hope she does with that katana.
DeleteThank you, thank you, thank you for the Daryl commercial, I had not seen that!!! I love him so much. Boondock Saints baby. ;)
Happy you got to meet Michael and have fun with your nephew :D
ReplyDeleteSorry about being drenched-no fun!
TWD-rocked...I got the feeling Darryl was meeting the other sides Darryl. Cheers for Maggie and Glenn ;D
I loved Hershel's comeback to Milton-so funny and unexpected, which made me love it all the more~
What a fun aunt you are! You rock~
Aww.. thanks, Ella! Michael is a great guy and my nephew always makes me smile, even when he's giving me attitude LOL.
DeleteHershel and Milton were great! It was definitely another side to Milton I had not seen. I feel like I've been misjudging him. I'm happy Mags and Glenn are copacetic and that kill off with Martinez and the badass Darryl was cool.
