Quote by Joseph Conrad "The belief in a supernatural source of evil is not necessary.  Men alone are quite capable of every wickedness."

So I'm pretty sure that everyone on the planet has heard of the AMC TV show 'The Walking Dead'.  We have for some time now resisted the hype and chosen not to watch it.  It all seemed a little ridiculous.  This show kind of blew up at a time when vampires, werewolves, and of course zombies were the big 'in things'.  Not being the type of people to be into something just because other people are saying it's the new best thing, we thought it sounded stupid and yet another repeat of something that's already been done to death.

Come on, you remember the old 'Night of the Living Dead' movies, right?  At least those are now entertaining to watch because they are so low budget. 

I'm not sure if Brad Pitt's career is going downhill, or if him starring in an upcoming zombie movie is a testament to how big of a thing zombies have become, but we still think the likelihood of a zombie apocalypse is completely nonexistent.

Anyway, we thought we'd see what all the buzz was about and sit down and watch a few episodes of the first season of 'The Walking Dead'.  What the hell, it's Friday Night in Winslow!

It was surprisingly really good.  Don't get me wrong, the first episode was rather uneventful but still left us wanting to watch the next episode.  We ended up watching the entire first season, only six episodes, and the season finale was pretty damn good!  We finished watching and Damon and I both agreed that maybe we could really get into it, so we put the second season into our Netflix queue and we're looking forward to seeing what happens next!

The moral of my ramblings, even if you don't get into the whole zombie thing, this series, so far, is pretty good entertainment, so check it out, especially if it's a Friday Night in Winslow!
