Why 'Fear the Walking Dead' Is More Chilling Than Its Predecessor
It might start out in a lab with infected animals or a sick passenger on an airplane. Flash forward to months later and we see evidence that civilization has collapsed and that the remaining survivors are trying to scrape together some semblance of a functioning society.

Is the Walking Dead Finished?
Like most fans I was drawn in from the very beginning. I couldn't wait to get home and watch The Walking Dead every Sunday night. I could sit back and immediately I was immersed into the show. It was bad enough having to wait for the show to come back during the mid season breaks. I was hooked. Zombies and The Survival Story of those left behind really got watchers interested. The show became bigger than it had ever anticipated. Since the writers decided to change things up and the story then took quite a turn which varied differently from the comics its no wonder The Walking Dead has suffered fan loss and a decrease in ratings as of late. In the beginning the love triangle between Rick, Lori and Shane kept us watching. Almost keeping it going a little too far. Just enough to see Shane turn at the end on his best friend Rick. We have seen and mourned the loss of great characters Dale, Andrea, The Governor, Shane, Beth, Merle Dixon, Bob, Hershel, Lori, T-Dog, Noah, Jim and many more. The zombies were the perfect mix of blood, fright, and scare. Everybody wanted it to match up to the comics as well as keep a real sense of what would actually happen in the event of a real Zombie Apocalypse. The actors definitely made the show impact of what it is today and of course who cannot forget the oozing pile of goo flesh and guts. The Walking Dead hands down was one of the greatest shows of its time. Creating the series Fear the Walking Dead AMC, Conventions to meet the cast. Contests and Merch. Where you could win your very own Walking Dead Survivor Vehicle. We made it through Hershel's ranch, The Governor's Illusion of Woodbury, The Prison all the way back on the road again. To completely starting over in Alexandria. We have seen the transformation of many characters Carl, Rick, Michonne, Daryl Dixon, Glen, Maggie, Carol plus more. The show struck us somewhere that a lot of shows dare to reach. Not many compare. So what went wrong. After the episode aired with Glen and Abraham being slaughtered by Negan. I think that was a pivotal point. A lot of negative ratings and a lot of people were upset by that particular episode. It changed viewers opinions very fast. It also changed how people saw and felt the show. You either were a bigger fan than before or you completely lost interest. You can tell that the direction the show was taking was not like it was before. The last season was displeasing to say the least. I know they are keeping the show going but you can only keep the show going for so long before people lose interest and the ratings drop. Sooner or later The Walking Dead will be a thing of the past but remembered in our hearts as one of the most awesome shows to ever have existed.

Listen To The Music!
Ever since pre-historic cavemen first banged two rocks together in an eurythmic beat that entertained the ear, music has been an integral part of every culture in the world. Whether it be drums covered with animal skins or a flute carved from a hollow reed, mankind has sought out ways to make sounds that not only served as a means of communication but conveyed emotion and identity.

Finding Neverland Review
My journey with Finding Neverland started when the Original Broadway Cast Recording came out last year, and I loved every song on the cast recording so I knew I had to try my hardest to see the show. I’ve always loved all things Peter Pan, and I’ve always kind of been curious about how the story came about and I may have seen the movie once. I wanted to start off this review by telling you this, so you know where I was coming from when I saw the show. The music was the first thing that I loved about this show, as I knowing only the music and the basic plot of the show I felt like I was taken on the journey of the show. Seeing the show as a whole made me love the show even more, and I didn’t even think that I could but seeing the show live made me love it more because I had a new appreciation for the show, and the cast in the show. I feel that everyone both young and old should see this show before it closes on August 21st.

The Undoing Of Sebastian Swan
The rain fell and the rain fell and it showed no sign of stopping. In the small English village of Eastwoods they were used to the rain, indeed they were suited to it. The pumpkin crop had never looked better but things were starting to get out of hand. It had been more than a week now with no sign of letting up and it seemed it would not be long before the river burst its banks. The elders of the village looked forward to having new tales to tell about the great October floods. Such was life in a village where nothing much of intrigue ever seemed to happen.
