Five Day TV Challenge: Seriously, I've Never Seen an Episode.
I've been meaning to jump into The Walking Dead, and there are some solid reasons why I should.
There are honestly a ton of shows that I've never watched, mostly because I'm just not interested in them, yet others I've always wanted to watch but either never found the time or actually forced myself to.
One of those shows that I always wish I had started watching but never did is The Walking Dead.
I know, I know sacrilege.
Yet, here I am ashamed to admit that I never actually even watched 5 minutes of The Walking Dead. Honestly, I've never been a big 'horror' fan... I've never actually enjoyed scary movies. I'm nearly 30, and I still catch myself running up the stairs from my basement with a quick glance backwards to make sure nothing is following me. Regardless, I've always been meaning to jump into The Walking Dead, and there are some solid reasons why I should.
It's a survival story.
The characters seem to have been regular people before, living very normal lives but now they are forced to face death and enormous challenges on a daily basis. They face everything from losing friends and family to being chased from their shelter.
More and more questions.
It's not always about running from zombies and trying to survive. Questions arise like: What caused the epidemic? Who will survive? What kind of society can they build when every day is a struggle? - The show seems to be about asking these sort of questions rather than just focusing on how do we kill the zombies?
The characters.
Everyone seems to be an incredible character within the show. Rick, Daryl, The Governor, Michonne, Andrea, Hershel Green and all the others. They each have their own unique flair to add to the show.

Why Jeffrey Dean Morgan Will Make the Perfect Negan on The 'Walking Dead'
Today is my birthday, and what a great present it was to wake up to the news that one of my new favorite shows, The Walking Dead, has made a casting announcement regarding one of my favorite actors. It was announced last night that Jeffrey Dean Morgan had been cast as the sociopathic character Negan, who is the feared leader of a group of survivors called the Saviors. This group of survivors offer protection from the zombie horde, but at a cost of supplies from the communities they offer to protect. Negan is fierce and unrelenting when it comes to getting his point conveyed, although at times he has also shown reasonable mercy if he believes that he can find usefulness in those that he spares.
