TWD S4E1: 30 Days Without Incident

The Walking Dead Season 4

I was not actually looking forward to the new season of The Walking Dead. The final episode of season three was a little disappointing for me. They made a prodigious build-up for a climax that wasn’t that great. But I believe that everything deserves a second chance so I decided to watch it anyway with very little expectations. I needed to see something in this premiere episode to get my attention again. And I can say that they did show me that something.

The element of anticipation is there once again. I started to yearn for the next episode immediately after this one. I want to know why the nerd kid died. I want to know why Carl acted weird when he discovered Carol teaching the other kids how to defend themselves when he himself was already able to kill a man before. I want to know want happens now that a zombie is loose inside the prison with them. I want to know where the fuck the Governor is. I want to know if they can keep this up and have a better climax than the last season.

We’ll just have to wait and see.

Among the most underappreciated and ill-treated creatures on Earth are undoubtedly ants and mosquitoes. Ants embody the ideals of hard work and commitment.

It matters not whether the bite was an act of self-defense. The ant bites, we feel the sting, and we crush its life away. Such is the way of things, it seems. For a humble creature like an ant, the due process holds no relevance. Mosquitoes face a similar fate. Every creature possesses the innate instinct to nourish itself. For mosquitoes, blood serves as their sustenance. It is not the mosquito's fault that it feeds on blood; it is merely the way it was created. The mosquito remains oblivious to the dis...

Here we have another movie adaptation of a book, which seems to be the prevailing trend these days. Sometimes I ponder why anyone would bother buying a book when a movie version is soon to follow. A friend of mine has a habit of watching the movie first and then reading the book for comparison. I advised her not to bother because, more often than not, the book always surpasses the movie. Watching a movie based on a book is like witnessing someone else's interpretation of the story, and that someone has to alter the context significantly. It's understandable since Hollywood has its limitations, unlike the boundless realms of our imaginations. The film's producers can't faithfully replicate the book word for word due to constraints of budget and time. So here's my advice to you: If you're a fan of the book, stick with it. Don't expect the movie version to capture the essence of the book exactly as it is. I've been disappointed multiple times by this, parti...
