Fear The Walking Dead Episode 2: Best and Worst...

           Fear the Walking Dead has definitely brought up the pace...and the walkers. This episode really made me wish Rick hadn't slept through everything in that hospital. Here are the best and worst from episode 2...

Best:
1. Tobias Should be Promoted to Rick's Group For Being So Prepared:
Tobias further proved his value on tonights episode (Saving food, asking for and using his trusty knife, major props). If a cross over with The Walking Dead occurs, he deserves to make it there. So far he's single handedly predicted how good this season would probably be while proving how much the rest of the characters have to learn. More screen time for Tobias please...

2. Madison's Reaction to Killing Zombie Artie:
It was a bit odd last week when Madison and Travis' reaction to running over and seeing zombie

Thoughts On: Star Wars Instagram Teaser...

           It only took 15 seconds for my thursday to go from Immortan Joe's 'mediocre' to freaken awesome. The newest Star Wars: The Force Awakens footage while brief offers two new shots. The first is of a concerned looking Rey, with BB8 in the background. The second shot finally gives us a lightsaber wielding Finn...and now my thoughts...
Her face was basically my reaction to this teaser...

1. Finn's Lightsaber AKA Luke's Lightsaber:
That shot of Kylo Ren turning on his lightsaber first premiered during last years teaser. Finn's association with Luke's saber first came up with the release of the D23 Poster. But to finally see another lightsaber turn on was nothing short of refreshing. This teaser inspired the following

4 Thoughts On: Fear The Walking Dead Premiere...

           Fear The Walking Dead now holds the all time cable premier record. Here are 4 thoughts on the new series...

1. The New Perspective Works:
Maybe I'm just happy to see new faces...or maybe I'm just happy to see a setting that isn't Georgia. Either way, the fact that these characters are stuck dealing with zombies in this busy LA setting (which by the way totally reminded of 28 Days Later and the opening scenes of World War Z) brings a whole new level of urgency.

2. Travis is the new Rick:
I can just see it. He'll be the reluctant leader, but in the end...the Travis-tatorship.

3. Tobias The High Schooler Knows What Time It Is:
That kid was the only person on the show who either A) gets really paranoid about every breaking

3 Thoughts On: New Star Wars Photos...

           The recent Entertainment Weekly photos for Star Wars: The Force Awakens are really helping to reinforce my confidence in this movie...

1. Kylo Ren, What a Boss:
This is an awesome shot of the new villain. The trees and snow indicate that this is probably the same scene taken from the teaser. I'm still dying to know more about him. The recent news is that he's a Vader fan with a homemade lightsaber (Which would explain why the bean from the teaser was ...well...crackly). I'm totally on board with that
saber now btw...

2. General Hux:
Those who saw Domhnall Gleeson in Ex-Machina (which was a great movie) know that he played the nerd role pretty well. That said, I was not expecting him to look as villain-like as he does in this first look photo. The uniform, the frown, I'm thinking he'll get the job done (might as well throw in a monacle).

3. The Rest of the Photos:
There's no bombshells in any of the remaining shots (unless you're blown away by C-3PO's red arm). The photo of Captain Phasma is awesome (especially since we know Lady Brienne of Tarth is under
