Is the Walking Dead Finished?
Like most fans I was drawn in from the very beginning. I couldn't wait to get home and watch The Walking Dead every Sunday night. I could sit back and immediately I was immersed into the show. It was bad enough having to wait for the show to come back during the mid season breaks. I was hooked. Zombies and The Survival Story of those left behind really got watchers interested. The show became bigger than it had ever anticipated. Since the writers decided to change things up and the story then took quite a turn which varied differently from the comics its no wonder The Walking Dead has suffered fan loss and a decrease in ratings as of late. In the beginning the love triangle between Rick, Lori and Shane kept us watching. Almost keeping it going a little too far. Just enough to see Shane turn at the end on his best friend Rick. We have seen and mourned the loss of great characters Dale, Andrea, The Governor, Shane, Beth, Merle Dixon, Bob, Hershel, Lori, T-Dog, Noah, Jim and many more. The zombies were the perfect mix of blood, fright, and scare. Everybody wanted it to match up to the comics as well as keep a real sense of what would actually happen in the event of a real Zombie Apocalypse. The actors definitely made the show impact of what it is today and of course who cannot forget the oozing pile of goo flesh and guts. The Walking Dead hands down was one of the greatest shows of its time. Creating the series Fear the Walking Dead AMC, Conventions to meet the cast. Contests and Merch. Where you could win your very own Walking Dead Survivor Vehicle. We made it through Hershel's ranch, The Governor's Illusion of Woodbury, The Prison all the way back on the road again. To completely starting over in Alexandria. We have seen the transformation of many characters Carl, Rick, Michonne, Daryl Dixon, Glen, Maggie, Carol plus more. The show struck us somewhere that a lot of shows dare to reach. Not many compare. So what went wrong. After the episode aired with Glen and Abraham being slaughtered by Negan. I think that was a pivotal point. A lot of negative ratings and a lot of people were upset by that particular episode. It changed viewers opinions very fast. It also changed how people saw and felt the show. You either were a bigger fan than before or you completely lost interest. You can tell that the direction the show was taking was not like it was before. The last season was displeasing to say the least. I know they are keeping the show going but you can only keep the show going for so long before people lose interest and the ratings drop. Sooner or later The Walking Dead will be a thing of the past but remembered in our hearts as one of the most awesome shows to ever have existed.

Finding Neverland Review
My journey with Finding Neverland started when the Original Broadway Cast Recording came out last year, and I loved every song on the cast recording so I knew I had to try my hardest to see the show. I’ve always loved all things Peter Pan, and I’ve always kind of been curious about how the story came about and I may have seen the movie once. I wanted to start off this review by telling you this, so you know where I was coming from when I saw the show. The music was the first thing that I loved about this show, as I knowing only the music and the basic plot of the show I felt like I was taken on the journey of the show. Seeing the show as a whole made me love the show even more, and I didn’t even think that I could but seeing the show live made me love it more because I had a new appreciation for the show, and the cast in the show. I feel that everyone both young and old should see this show before it closes on August 21st.

Old Man 'Logan'
There is the old saying that tells us that “all good things must end.” For Hugh Jackman, the actor who has played Marvel's comic book character Wolverine since 2000, now would seem a good time to say goodbye to the character. Thus Logan, released earlier this year, was announced to be his last time in the role. Not only that but the film looked to be quiet different from any of the previous X-Men films or even the solo Wolverine outings. The resulting film is an interesting piece of work to say the least.

Top Television Shows in the 1970s
Ah, the 1970s. It was a decade of bean bag chairs, swag lamps, gas lines, and a President on the ropes and out the door. Waterbeds hove into view, a piece of furniture masquerading as a boat. Mood rings and lava lamps glowed on your finger and in the corner respectively. We washed our cars obsessively. Was it because we were vehicular neat freaks? Nah, we just didn't want the “Have a Nice Day” guy to show up in the dust.

App Review: "Applike"
So, I'm sure by now, anyone who's gone through a game and has had to sit through a commercial or an ad to get that bonus boost has seen the commercial for it. The little star, bouncing around between games and across the on-screen text to a boppin' beat that you can't help but want to download, claiming that you can make money from something as simple as playing games!

The Best Anime You've Never Heard Of Part II
It all starts with a simple desire to kill. A desire for revenge so strong that you're willing to damn your own soul to hell forever upon your own death. Upon the stroke of midnight you visit a phantom website which will allow you to put in the name of the person you want revenge against. You can take the offer but will be warned that upon your own death you will be cast into hell in order to live out the rest of eternity under constant torture and pain. Whether that's a fair trade is entirely up to you but once you pull the string around the straw doll's neck, that's it. No going back. That's how you summon Ai Enma, also known as Jigoku Shoujo (Hell Girl).

It's Just a Two-Man Con
"Fiction allows us to slide into these other heads, these other places, and look out through other eyes. And then in the tale we stop before we die, or we die vicariously and unharmed, and in the world beyond the tale we turn the page or close the book, and we resume our lives."
