The Walking Dead: Four Walls And A Roof

Published

Last week we saw Bob being turned into a BBQ feast in front of his very own eyes. Gareth and his pack of cannibals, nibbled gently onto Bob’s leg, while Sasha feverishly searched for her man.

In probably one of the most disturbing scenes in the history of the show, we actually see how the human mind struggles to fight for survival. Keeping a man alive while slowly eating him is definitely a sign of the times.

But the jokes on the cannibals as Bob reveals his secret. He has been bitten by a walker. And they all have ingested tainted meat. Honestly, I was waiting on Gareth’s reaction since I knew that Bob was indeed bitten by a walker. The group’s reaction is priceless though. The interesting aspect of all this is something we haven’t seen yet. How exactly does this work? If you ingest meat that has been indeed in the process of turning, how exactly do you turn yourself. We didn’t find out in this episode, but we shall how this pans out.

At this point, the group must be wondering what happened to Bob. Sasha goes on a search to find him but has an uncanny feeling that she is being watched. Now Carol and Daryl are also missing, although the viewer’s know that they went after the car with a cross on the back window. At this point Father Gabriel seriously has some explaining to do. He admits that he killed a family and even buried their bones, but it is not certain how and why he did this. One can assume that in order to save himself, he sacrificed the lives of others. But he also feels that Rick and his clan were sent by God to punish him. Obviously, he doesn’t know how Rick operates and spares his life.

Lucky for Gabriel because Bob wobbles into the outside of the church and he reveals what happened to him. Abraham is convinced that they need to leave to Washington, but Rick is more hesitant. He wants to plot his revenge against Gareth for putting him and his group through hell. Tensions rise and decisions need to be made. Glenn actually makes a stance against Rick when he tells him that him and Maggie will leave with Abraham to Washington, after they take their revenge out on Gareth. Rick tells him “No way” but Glenn FINALLY puts his foot down and tells him that it is not his decision.

The part I have been dreading finally arrives. Gareth and his group find the church. But Rick and the other members who go off to search for Gareth are gone; leaving only the weak behind. Gareth knows that Rick is nowhere around and announces this message to the members that remain in the church. Gareth gives Father Gabriel a proposal, he spills, he can walk. But Father doesn’t and clutches his rosary beads and continues to shake in the corner.

Rick fires off a few shots and magically appears in the church. The cannibals immediately surrender and Gareth states that they will leave their group alone. But Rick has been waiting for this day since his lockdown in Terminus. “Besides, I already made you a promise.” He says to a frightened Gareth.

A shiny machete slides out of Rick’s pocket and he delivers blow after blow to Gareth, leaving him to just a bloody pulp. The rest of the cannibals are taken out and Father Gabriel gasps that this is the “Lord’s house.” I am pretty sure that the lord is now long gone Father Gabriel.

Bob is left to die and before Sasha can kill him, he succumbs away on his own. But Tyrese actually needs to finish Bob off and he steps to the plate to do so. I love how Tyrese is always around bloody deaths and kind of has to stay back and deal with the aftermath. His character is one that is still developing but it will be interesting to see how keeps his composure in the next episodes to come. Eugene, Abraham and Rosita leave to Washington.

Michonne runs into Daryl in the woods later! But he is alone. No carol. When Michonne asks where Carol is at, he simply beckons to someone “come on out”, we don’t see who he is talking to because the episode ends there.

Such a cliffhanger! Is it Beth? Is it Carol? Who could it be? And why is it such a tease?

This past episode was great because it glorified Rick and his aching to get his mojo back. Something the group desperately needs as they struggle to survive. I can’t wait to see Beth’s return as promised in the preview of next week’s episode.

It’s been three long years since Netflix unleashed the bloody, but enjoyable Fear Street on its platform. Released in a tryptic fashion, the streamer broke up the story into three episodes, each taking place in a different decade which by the finale were all tied together.

Now, the streamer is in production for its sequel Fear Street: Prom Queen which brings the story into the 80s. Netflix gives a synopsis of what to expect from Prom Queen on their blog site Tudum:

“Welcome back to Shadyside. In this next installment of the blood-soaked Fear Street franchise, prom season at Shadyside High is underway and the school’s wolfpack of It Girls is busy with its usual sweet and vicious campaigns for the crown. But when a gutsy outsider is unexpectedly nominated to the court, and the other girls start mysteriously disappearing, the class of ’88 is suddenly in for one hell of a prom night.”

Based on R.L. Stine’s massive series of Fear Street novels and spin-offs, this chapter is number 15 in the series and was published in 1992.

No word on when Netflix will drop the series into its catalog.

Live Action Scooby-Doo Reboot Series In Works at Netflix

The ghosthunting Great Dane with an anxiety problem, Scooby-Doo, is getting a reboot and Netflix is picking up the tab. Variety is reporting that the iconic show is becoming an hour-long series for the streamer although no details have been confirmed. In fact, Netflix execs declined to comment.

If the project is a go, this would be the first live-action movie based on the Hanna-Barbera cartoon since 2018’s Daphne & Velma. Before that, there were two theatrical live-action movies, Scooby-Doo (2002) and Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (2004), then two sequels that premiered on The Cartoon Network.

Currently, the adult-oriented Velma is streaming on Max.

Scooby-Doo originated in 1969 under the creative team Hanna-Barbera. The cartoon follows a group of teenagers who investigate supernatural happenings. Known as Mystery Inc., the crew consists of Fred Jones, Daphne Blake, Velma Dinkley, and Shaggy Rogers, and his best friend, a talking dog named Scooby-Doo.

Normally the episodes revealed the hauntings they encountered were hoaxes developed by land-owners or other nefarious characters hoping to scare people away from their properties. The original TV series named Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! ran from 1969 to 1986. It was so successful that movie stars and pop culture icons would make guest appearances as themselves in the series.

Celebrities such as Sonny & Cher, KISS, Don Knotts, and The Harlem Globetrotters made cameos as did Vincent Price who portrayed Vincent Van Ghoul in a few episodes.
