For this blog entry, I will be talking about the new show on TV called The Walking Dead. The TV show is about the human survival against zombies (pretty much what the title says). Like this show is fairly new, I won’t have that much to talk about, but I will give a brief summary about the three episodes that have been released.
In the first episode, the main character is a police officer which starts off with a problem; he has to stop a speeding car. His partners are helping him and they set up a traffic control site. The main officer gets shot in the shoulder and is sent to the hospital. This part of the timeline is when it gets weird. He wakes up in the hospital lying on a bed. He disconnects himself from all the cables stuck to him and tries to get up. He forces himself to walk out of the room and he sees that the hospital is abandoned. He sees a dead body in the middle of a hallway and finds a door which says
dead inside, don’t enter. He finds a backdoor and leaves through it. He finds a million bags with a dead person inside each one. He keeps on walking and tries to find some kind of transportation device. He finds a bike but at the same time a zombie who is broken in half which is crawling to him. He leaves as fast as he can and goes to his home to see his wife and his son. When he gets there, the house is abandoned and gets worried so sits on the side walk in front of the house. He waits for a while and gets hit in the head by a shovel and it taken to someone’s home. He stays with a man and his son and starts to find out what is going and why there are zombies. After staying in their house for a while, they go their separate ways and the officer goes downtown which he herd was free of zombies but is wrong. When he gets there, he finds a million of zombies and gets surrounded by them. Luckily, there was a tank and gets into by the bottom of it. When he is inside, there is a radio which is working and someone is talking to him.
In the second episode, you find out there are survivors away from the town in the middle of a forest. It then goes to the officer inside the tank which is surrounded by millions of zombies and talks into the radio to the person on the other side. The voice in the radio is telling him what is happening outside of the tank and tells the officer to make a run for it and run to an alley way. The officer makes his run and runs into the alley and finds an Asian man. The Asian leads him to safety and tells him he was the one who was helping him get out of the tank alive. They get into a tall building where the officer meets other people who are trying to survive. They have a radio which they try to communicate with anyone who is alive and find out that there is life in some woods far away from the city. They create a plan to get to the woods but they have to get a vehicle to transport everyone. They found a truck not too far away but they need a way to get there without the zombies killing them. The plan was to kill a zombie and bring him into the building. They get the zombies blood and spread it over their clothe without letting the blood touch their skin. The reason for spreading blood on their clothe was because if the zombies smell dead things, they won’t attack. If the zombies smell life, they will attack and kill. The officer and the Asian man are the ones who are suppose too get the truck and are the ones who get their clothe all full of blood. They walk out into the road and act as zombies and the plan goes perfectly, until it starts raining and the blood starts dripping away and the smell starts to go away. The zombies start to run after them and the officer and the Asian man start running for their lives. They get to the truck and get the keys to start the engine. When they are in the truck, they create another plan to get everyone in the truck safely. They get another car which makes a lot of noise to draw the zombies away from the building. The plan goes well and they get everyone into the truck and start heading towards the woods.
The third episode isn’t so good but I will talk about it anyway. Everyone who was in the tall building get safety to the woods. The next day, a zombie gets close to where they are camping but then massacre it in the craziest way possible. A man gets to the camp and they knew who he was and they knew he has a brother. He asks for him and they tell him they left him handcuffed on top of the tall building where they were on in the last episode. The officer decides to go back and get him because he feels bad for leaving him there. Everyone thinks he is crazy and that he just got to the camp and it would be a suicide mission. The Asian man, a black man and the new man who got to the camp decide to go with the officer. They get to the tall building where they were at not too long ago safely and get onto the roof. When they get there, they find the hand of the man who was handcuffed on the floor. This shows that the man cut his hand off to escape.
This was a big blog entry but I hope you liked the summary and see the show someday. When I finished watching the third episode, I wonder how the man who cut his hand off got off the roof (if you watch the episode you will understand). You can see this show on fox or on amc.
