Personal Narrative: The Walking Dead

Decent Essays
I actually really loved the first season of Fear The Walking Dead a lot. I won't lie, I was skeptical at first. The Walking Dead has been my favorite show since it first aired and I haven't had the greatest experience with spin off shows so I wasn't too excited when they announced this. However, I knew I would definitely watch it and give it a chance.

After I watched the first episode I was really invested. I noticed immediately that the show seemed completely different from TWD, which is a good thing. As I watched it I completely forgot that it was a spin off and think of it as it's own stand alone show, which I feel is important.

I think a lot of the criticism that people had when they initially started watching it was "Where are the zombies?"

    The Zombie Apocalypse is an event I feel I've been prepped for my entire life. Assuming typical scary movie rules apply: in order to survive I must find a rag tag group of people who are sane as well as very skill at using weapons. To help prevent being that that cliché person that trips, my team and I would raid a shoe store for well fitting, non slip shoes. Next we would wear various layers of coats just in case if we were caught, zombies would struggle to get to our flesh and we would have time escape from their grasp. Next we would travel north and go to a region that was not very populated prior to the apocalypse.…

    Great having so many two parters, really fleshes out the story and means there’s no rushed finale like so many previous examples. This story hearkens back to classic serials well, and it’s nice to get back to a self contained non-universe-threatening setting. Bit of timey wimey paradoxes never hurt anyone either. The ghosts look alright, pity the Doctor couldn’t save any of them. Really get sick of major death cliffhangers, so pointless.…

    Within the past decade, zombie movies have become a fad. It all began with the original Night of the Living Dead and cruised into the more current ones like World War Z and The Walking Dead. These movies and shows have taken horror and gore to the next level, but if you are looking for that scary, dreadful, and nail biting zombie movie that everyone loves, I would suggest looking elsewhere. A Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse is a movie about 3 high school scouts who plan an adventurous night out camping. Before the night is even started, their scout leader goes missing and the spiral of weird events begin.…

    The pain began slowly, pricking me with its sharp needles only while doing barre in ballet once a week. I ignored it, believing it to be normal, common discomfort that would soon go away, typical thoughts of a dancer whose entire sport is centered around “good pain”. Six months later, it had escalated to the degree that every step I took felt like an arrow to my knee. Dancing had become impossible, and it was determined that I should be taken to the orthopedist. The bland, brown and beige lobby became extraordinarily familiar as I waited two hours to be examined.…

She blinked her vision clearer for a minute, not quite ready to pull herself out of the puddle, not quite sure if she could.

The last weeks of sparring and battle-prep and the impending death march running like blood through her ears. Coming down here, determined, to end it.…
