The Governor Upgrades His Douche Rating

Warning: Spoilers Ahead!

HOLY COW what an episode!! Michonne is officially on "Team Rick" and now she, Rick, Darryl, and Oscar are on their way to rip the LIFE from the Governor's throat! After what he did to Maggie, I'm SO ready to see his brains splattered all over Woodsbury.

And how about that Glenn? Apparently he's been taking bad ass lessons from Darryl during the winter hiatus! 

Next week it all hits the fan as Team Rick storms Woodsbury to save Glenn and Maggie.

Now if only Andrea will take a bullet in the melee. I don't trust her. I have this feeling that she's so into this "Stepford" community and her tall sociopath of a boyfriend that she's either going to sell Rick and Michonne out when the time comes, or even worse... try to put one of them down.

Here's a video of the cast and crew discussing the latest episode and what it means to their characters. Check it out:

Happy Thanksgiving!

All of us four-eyed nerds deep within the bowels of B'hold Designs would like to wish you, our loyal and somewhat bored followers, the best of Thanksgivings!

We all have things to be thankful for, as well as people we're missing and wish we could see again, so keep them in your hearts and minds as you fellowship with family and friends. I ask that you also keep in mind those brave men and women of our armed forces as they work so tirelessly to keep us safe, quite often while separated from their own loved ones.

And remember, as you go back for seconds, thirds, fourths, and eventually dessert, grab some pie for your buddies at B'hold Designs, and lay peacefully stuffed on the couch knowing that they and the Undead Disposal Ninja Posse are keeping the perimeter secure from the undead!

Aim high. Run fast. Pass the gravy.

Blood & Guts Camo!

Warning! Spoilers ahead!

You know what I like about superhero movies? The back story. I love seeing the events that lead up to a hero coming to grips with their power, or developing a nice, healthy sense of revenge before going on a building smashing spree.

We saw that last night with the latest episode of AMC's "The Walking Dead."

After a Rambo-like fight with Merle, in which she made he and his men look absolutely silly, Michonne stumbled upon the old blood and guts camo secret that Rick and Glenn used way back in season one: Walker guts are stinky! Apparently, with that kind of stench, even the undead don't want anything to do with you. (of course, we all know that THIS is the only camo that will help when the zombies really do come.)

And after watching Glenn and Maggie get captured by Merle and forced to Woodbury, Michonne picked up the baby formula and made the trip to the prison where the greatest zombie killing team of all time is on the brink of formation....

With Rick, Darryl and Michonne on the same team, the Governor doesn't stand a chance.

OH yeah! And they found Carol! Get ready for some funky Darryl/Carol make-out scenes!

Here's a video of the cast and crew discussing the latest episode and how it affects their characters. Enjoy:

Chatting About "The Walking Dead"

Here's a clip of "Talking Dead", the after-show chat about each weeks episode of AMC's "The Walking Dead."

In this episode, host Chris Hardwick talks with show FX genius/producer/director Greg Nicotero and Entertainment Weekly's Dalton Ross.

In this segment, Greg has introduced a major prop in the previous weeks episode in which T-Dog gets his throat ripped out (It's amazingly realistic!), as well as discussing deleted scenes and other cool behind-the-scenes stuff.

Little Ass-Kicker

Warning: Spoilers Ahead

Isn't it interesting to see how everyone is handling the zombie apocalypse just fine except for the guys in charge?

After T-Dog and Lori's death, Rick takes a trip down looney blvd. and goes on a massive walker rampage. The governor, on the other hand, takes a calmer approach and simply brushes the hair of his rotting walker daughter.

Michonne is finally able to leave Woodsbury, but Andrea stays. It seems the "back to normal" lifestyle of the little community overrides the bad vibes Michonne feels. I can see where she's coming from, but I personally feel Andrea is an idiot and easily blinded.

For instance… the Governor has been keeping walkers. He says it's ok because he "has his reasons" and she's FINE with that. But it wasn't that long ago that she found out Hershel had walkers in his barn and she freaked…or was that because Shane was freaking about it?

So what now? Michonne's on her own…. Carol is still lost… the baby still doesn't have a name, though I like Daryl's idea (see blog title), and now the PHONE is ringing??

It looks epic in terms of scale and terror.... check it out:

World War Z Movie First Look!

As every true zombie fan is aware, the amazing Max Brooks book "World War Z" is being made into a huge budget flick starring Brad Pitt.

I have to admit, I haven't been thrilled with the idea for a couple of reasons. One, I know they're changing the book to fit their needs or their "concept" of Max's story (if it ain't broke, don't fix it). Two, while I think Brad Pitt is a good actor, I just don't see him in this type of role. See my previous remarks HERE.

Now, that being said, I'm also a huge fan of a realistic look at a zombie apocalypse (at least as realistic as you can get). My thoughts have always been, the bigger the population, the bigger the horde, and it looks as if this film will at least get that aspect right... in a big way.

Two Deaths, One Birth

Warning: Spoilers ahead!

Wow. Just freaking… wow.

Episode #304 of "The Walking Dead" was all about raw, real, human emotion and despair, and it was a tear-jerker!

Evil prisoner Andrew (thought dead two episodes ago) reappeared and caused all kinds of crazy shenanigans last night by opening gates, and luring walkers inside the prison! The once secure facility was suddenly a killing ground as a sea of walkers made their way in and took everyone by surprise.

People were separated, scared and confused as to what could have caused this problem. Everyone fought valiantly… even Herschel as he downed a walker with a crutch while hobbling away… but unfortunately there were casualties.

T-Dog… a great character whom we've all come to love… suffered a terrible bite to the shoulder while fighting off the horde and later made an amazing sacrifice by charging two walkers with no weapons but his massive fists, so that Carol could get away. Her whereabouts are currently unknown.

And, of course, Lori goes into labor and has to give birth in a filthy boiler room with only Maggie and Carl to assist. Unfortunately, because of complications she has to have a c-section and bleeds out. Poor Carl puts a bullet in her head to ensure she doesn't turn.

Here's a clip of the cast talking about the episode and what it means to their characters:

"Save the neck for me, Clark."

Now that Halloween has come and gone, and the sugar rush is nearly over, I can finally start looking at the Christmas displays that popped up all over town a month ago without squinting in confusion.

There are a lot of things about this time of year that are special... bone-chilling cold... sunset at 4:00 pm... bone-chilling cold... but the best of all is the classic film "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation."

Every year we watch the Griswolds as they deal with a house full of dysfunctional guests in an attempt to have the perfect Christmas. Never has a failed attempt at happiness been so hilarious.

Now YOU can celebrate the Griswolds by wearing two of my favorite quotes from the film! Available on clothing and merchandise, there's something for everyone!

Whether you choose Cousin Eddie's reaction to Clark's comment about santa (HERE), or Clark's reply to Uncle Lewis' order (HERE), you can wear it with pride as you watch your own frightening relatives pull up the drive and announce how long they're staying.

Talking the Walking Dead

If you're not already aware, there's a great little chat program that comes on AMC shortly after each new episode of "The Walking Dead" and it's called, appropriately enough, "Talking Dead." Hosted by Chris Hardwick it's an informal Q&A about the show with various special guests - actors or crew associated with the show, or other actors/comedians/etc.

Check out this clip from last Sunday's episode. Featured guests are "Walking Dead" Executive Producer, David Alpert, and Bobak Ferdowsi, Flight Director for the Mars rover Curiosity.

Get Prepared!

I'm not a conspiracy theorist or anything, but I can't help but notice how a lot of official entities are jumping on board the zombie bandwagon to get their messages across.

First came the CDC's social media campaign. About a year later, the Dept. of Homeland Security joins in with their own tongue-in-cheek warning. Then we hear about security firm HALO Corp. incorporating zombies into their yearly disaster/crisis training scenario for law enforcement, military, and medical personnel. Now the Red Cross joins the horde with their "just for fun" tips for survival in an actual disaster.

If it weren't for the B'hold Designs Undead Disposal Ninja Posse keeping us safe, I might actually tilt my head in curious concern.
