TWD S4E4: Indifference

Entry # 25

You know the drill…

-     -            Rick and Carol go on a run for supplies. In other words, they spend half of the episode debating whether or not Carol killing Karen and Dave was justified. Carol insists that what she did was for the survival of the group. By killing and burning the two flu-infected persons, she tried to stop the infection from spreading. Newsflash: that didn’t work and the flu continued to spread, infecting even Glenn. Rick, being the hypocritical bastard that he is, doesn’t want Carol to go back to the prison anymore because he doesn’t trust her. There goes another cast member crossed out of payroll, unless the writers do another Merle thing and she comes back on another season (that’s assuming the show makes it to another season).

-          On their extremely boring run, Rick and Carol meet a couple of hippies who locked themselves in the bathroom of a house because there was one PJ-wearing zombie there. Carol fixes the boy hippie’s dislocated shoulder (which she learned how to do because her husband used to dislocate her shoulder all the time) in exchanged for a few fruits. They also wanted to join Rick’s group saying that they will do their best to help out. Rick doesn’t want them to help but Carol pissed on his ego and said they’ll be able to cover more ground with them.

-          The hippie couple calls the zombies “skin-eaters” which is kinda fucked up. First of all, the zombies don’t just eat your fucking skin; they want the whole shebang. Especially the guts. And why doesn’t anyone in this series call the zombies what they’re really fucking called: zombies! I think I heard the term “zombie” used only once, way back in Season 1.

-          When the camera emphasizes the girl hippie’s leg tattoo that means zombies will get her and eat every part of her body except the leg with the tattoo.

-          Soak and wring. Soak and wring. Soak and wring. Tyrese doesn’t realize that a shirt will never get clean if he keeps on soaking it in mud water. But I guess mud water is better than zombie shit.

-          Darryl’s party comes across a bunch of zombies just to break the ice and keep viewers awake for the rest of the episode. Rick and Carol talking will really put you to sleep.

-          An alcoholic will jump over a crowd of zombies to save a fucking bottle of whiskey. Darryl tries to kiss him on the lips to show he’s pissed off.

-          Distilled water will always make a dry battery work and keep you hydrated while fixing your car.


That’s it for now.

Ants and Mosquitoes

Among the most underappreciated and ill-treated creatures on Earth are undoubtedly ants and mosquitoes. Ants embody the ideals of hard work and commitment. Among the countless insect species, they exhibit remarkable organization and possess the ability to carry loads weighing ten times their own body weight. Even when faced with adversaries thousands of times their size, ants courageously defend their colonies. If an ant happens to bite us, it pays the ultimate price with its life. 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...

Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief

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...
