The Walking Dead Season Two Episode 2

The episode starts off, with a flashback of Lori's. She's talking to another woman about her and Rick's relationship. This is when Shane tells Lori about what happen to Rick when he got shot. Then we come back to the present and see Rick running with Carl for help. We Rick so shaken up he's unable to think properly. 

Rick finds out that the bullet has separated into 6 pieces and they need standard medical equipment to try to save Carl. Shane and Otis (the man who shot Carl) got to the local high school to find the supplies. Lori gets to the house and finds out that the man treating her son, is not a doctor, but a veterinarian. 

While trying to get the medical supplies Shane and Otis are surrounded by zombies and have to lock themselves in the high school. Carl doesn't have much longer to hang on and needs the surgery soon. 




Opinion: This episode was just okay in my opinion. It seemed very scattered and the fact that both the children in the group are suffering makes it just messy. I have a feeling that the lives of the two children will be the focus of this season. Even worse is that I am a mother and usually things like this pull at my heart strings. In this case I am not moved at all.

 I am hoping that as that the rest of the reason gets better. Remember there is only six episodes per season and they are up to number 3, but I haven't seen that one yet. Even Darryl in this episode has done a 180 from the last. It's almost like different people wrote the two different episodes.

The Walking Dead Season 2 Premier


It is finally upon us, season two of The Walking Dead!! I have been waiting for this for a long time. I had to wait until now to watch it since I have been busy.

Synopsis: We last left the group after the CDC exploded. The group is now heading towards Fort Benning. The RV breaks down on a freeway and the group looks through what is left behind for supplies they need. A heard of zombies comes through and the groups hides under the cars for safety. A few close calls,but everyone makes it. Sofia is chased by a walker and gets lost in the woods. The group keeps busying looking through the cars and moving cars off the road, while Rick, Daryl, and Glenn go looking for Sofia.

Shane tells Lori that he plans on leaving the group, which only complicates their relationship even more. We see even more issues with the group with Andrea, Dale and Shane over her gun and who is allowed to have a gun. The next day most of the group goes looking for Sofia, with Daryl leading. While looking the hear church bells, the make their way towards a church, and find zombies inside. The guys kill them quick and once again they hear bells, which is a speaker on a timer.

Andrea overhears Lori and Shane talking about Shane leaving. She asks Shane to allow her to come with him, because neither one of them belongs in the group. Rick seems to loose faith in himself after loosing Sofia. The group splits up and Lori confronts them all for blaming Rick for the outcomes and that they can go on their own if they want to.

The episode ends, when someone fires a gun at a deer Rick, Shane and Carl and goes through the deer and into Carl.

Opinion: For a season opening, it wasn't too bad. It really wasn't anything special, but I did like that Daryl had some decent moments/lines. He's stepping up to the plate you could say. There's probably more backstory to him going to come out is my guess, with what I noticed. While the beginning was great, the middle was just flat and the ending a crappy cliffhanger. I forgot the problems members of the group were having with each other so when they came up in this episode I had to remind myself. So they could have done more, I have to say 30 minutes looking for Sofia seemed a bit much. I hope they're not going to be looking for her the rest of the season, that would just be a drag.

Overall, it was decent.

By the way this is my 100th post!!!

Book Review: World War Z

I have been trying to finish this book for a while now. I finally was able to and now I get to review it for you guys.

Let me start off by saying if you are not a fan of zombies, but if you like books about war or history, then you might like this book. It is an oral history about when zombies start taking over the world and about how humans were able to overcome them.

The book's main character/narrator is interviewing all these people who had important roles in the war. It is a very easy read and hard to put it down. I decided to read it because I was seeing a lot on the movie that is currently being filmed based on the book. I am not sure how close the movie will be to the book, knowing Hollywood, not by much.

What appeal this book has is that, it has taken the zombie craze that people are obsessed with and put it into reality. What would happen if zombies took over the world and how would humans fair. It is different from all the other things I have seen by the fact it shows that not everyone can survive and how politics would play into it. Most movies are just about not getting bite or how to kill zombies.

So if you like zombies, or what to read a book about war and zombies this is for you.

Horror Movie Rules: Your Input Needed

I am sure you all remember Jamie Kennedy's character in Scream and his love of movies. If you remember he gave off a list of rules you should follow that horror movies has taught us to obey. We've all watched these movies and have screamed at the kids having sex that they are going to die, or why the girl is running up stairs to get away when running out the door is a much better idea.

Rules via Jamie Kennedy:

1. Sex = Death
2. Don't drink or do drugs. 
3. Never say "I'll be right back"


So there's obviously more rules, and you know this if you watch horror movies. What I find funny is that Wes Craven directed Scream where the famous rules started yet in his last movie that I saw My Soul to Take he ignored most of the rules.

So anyway here's my list of rules to survive a horror movie and you guys please leave your rules or ones you want to add to my list that I might have forgotten. There is no wrong answers here... well maybe there is I just haven't heard it yet.

Fallen Bettie's Rules for Surviving a Horror Movie or a Really Bad Camping Trip, Road Trip or House Party



  1. Sex is bad... okay... If you have sex you will die 
  2. Being high or drunk is a fast path to death, you won't realize you're in trouble until it's too late
  3. The serial killer never dies. He always plays dead or by a miracle comes back to life. So don't assume he's dead. 
  4. If you are a black person in a horror movie... you're either going to die or die first, I didn't make up this rule, but it seems to be true in most movies
  5. Do not trust toys of any kind. Even the cute looking ones might come to life
  6. Do not pick up hitchhikers
  7. Don't go anywhere alone...
  8. Do not get help from strangers if it's raining and your car isn't working
  9. Do not watch a tape even if it has no label... you'll regret it
  10. Do not go running/walking into a graveyard
  11. You will trip at least twice when being chased by a serial killer, vampire or monster
  12. Say out of the basement or attic, doesn't matter if you heard something they are death traps
  13. Never trust the innocent ones, they are more than likely the killer. 
  14. Avoid camping trips, desert/farm parties or any kind of party.
  15. Always double tap. Always!!


Now your turn, add some rules that you think should be here or that I have forgotten. 

Human Centipede II, Someone actually watched it for me

Well you all know I despise Tom Six and his Human Centipede movies. I challenged someone to watch it and review it for me. What I didn't expect was it to come from Brian, my good friend, over at Inglorious Blogsters. Yes, usually I would be the one seeing this and telling him about it, not the opposite. So I am going to send you all to his blog to read his nicely done review and if you have any heart you will send him Visine or something nice for having his eyes raped by this movie.

I'm sorry Brian!!!! Check out his review!!

Hack & Slash: Week Two

This week was not my best. I had a huge project that I was freaking out over and then ended up dropping the class so most of my week was eaten up. I did manage to squeeze somethings in, but maybe next week or the following weeks will be better. And here I thought I would run out of movies by now. Can't blame me for being optimistic. I hope to get some of these done as reviews down the road, at least the movies not the TV shows. Which reminds me I haven't seen any of the new Supernatural episodes since the second one... opps!!
