AMC’s “The Walking Dead” S9 Official Trailer: SDCC 2018

Leave a comment

As we continue to serve up the trailer reveals from the Comic Con International: San Diego, here is one that everyone is generally very excited about and I am talking about nothing less than AMC’s “The Walking Dead”. This October, we find the survivors facing incredible odds and dramatic changes as they bring us into their world of Season 9. Check it out.

Season 8 (Overview): Rick, Maggie, and Ezekiel rally their communities into war against Negan and the Saviors. Losses are heavy on both sides: many of the Kingdom soldiers are killed, Alexandria falls to a Savior attack, and Carl is bitten by a walker. Before euthanizing himself, Carl convinces Rick to end the war and restart society anew. Negan attempts to wipe out Rick and his allies, but Eugene disrupts his plan and his neck is slit by Rick. Against Maggie’s wishes, Negan is spared and imprisoned, ending the war.

It was a few short months ago that I shared the nominees for the 44th Annual Saturn Awards. It was my very first time showcasing these particular awards in our narratives but with my continuing to serve up as much of the proper geek stuff in our Pop Culture focuses, this celebration fits right in. The winners were all revealed yesterday so check out who won out in the eyes of the votes in this committee. That’s the folks from the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films in case you forgot. To make this an easier list to digest, I’ve left the nominees rundown in as well so you can see who won big out of the batch. It’s very likely that some of your favorites won while others did not. Let’s check it out. I’ll come back at the close for a few additional thoughts.

Earlier today, I announced that the 8th Season of the AMC Original Series “The Walking Dead” was having its premiere and if you’ve gotten a late start to the say and haven’t seen that yet, just click HERE since I don’t feel like repeating all of that information in this brand-new narrative. So you might be wondering why a second post would go up for a show premiering on the same day and well here is the reason. Tonight’s episode will be the 100th of the series and to celebrate it, Greg Nicotero has offered up a barrage of Homage Posters to classic films from over the years.

Tonight: “The Walking Dead” on AMC (10/22/2017)

Leave a comment

Hopefully the trailer that was released during the Comic Con International: San Diego got you all geared up for the new season because the moment is finally here. If you missed the trailer just click on THIS LINK to catch up and then sit down at 9pm (depending on your location) and tune into AMC as “The Walking Dead” returns for Season 8. I’ve added some S7 premise below the intense poster and will close out with some brief thoughts after the casting is recanted.

Season 7 Overview: This season adapts material from issues #100–114 of the comic book series and focuses on the oppressive group of survivors known as the Saviors, led by the vindictive Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan). Negan uses numbers, power and lethal brutality to coerce Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln), his group of survivors, and the Alexandria Safe-Zone to make regular offerings of supplies and weapons for the Saviors. Eventually, Rick and his group seek allies to help them confront Negan, including members of the survivor communities of the Hilltop, the Kingdom, Oceanside, and the Scavengers, who have had their own dealings with Negan and the Saviors. (thanks Wiki).

Here’s “The Walking Dead” Season 8 Official Comic-Con Trailer

Leave a comment

I guess its safe to assume that a season trailer that attendees of the Comic Con International: San Diego are always looking forward to is the one for “The Walking Dead”. The show is beyond mega-popular at this point and is the source of a lot of peoples frustrations with Facebook since the spoiler folks love to say that something happened on their feed the second after it happens. I view that as a d–k move for sure but have learned to stay off the social network until I get to watch it since I was running out of people to unfriend after ruining it for me. With that said here is the recently revealed Season “8” trailer. Enjoy.

About The Show: After “7” seasons I am not really sure that I need to cite what the show is about but if you have just arrived to our planet or are waking from a lengthy coma as our principle character Rick Grimes did some years ago now, “The Walking Dead” is about life in a world besieged by the dead. Sadly, sometimes the zombies are not the worst thing that our survivors have to deal with and there you go.
