If you're not far into the Walking Dead Second season, better avoid this post for spoilers abound.
Not to ruined it for anyone, but I think that last scene in the series was killer- a desperate Andrea mustering the last of her strength to fight off a hoard of Walkers. She can't shake them off her trail since the Farm went down in flames. Andrea now finds herself alone in the middle of the forest, down to the last bullet, yet she doesn't chooses not to bite it, she chooses to fight back with whatever energy she has left. Andrea falls and almost gets bitten until- wham! Michonne shows up with her katana. The shot is set up graphic novella style, chiaroscuro- a visual treat for the fanboys.
Not far behind Michonne, we see her loyal armless and jawless 'Walkers' (Mike and Terry respectively, boyfriend and bestfriend, a tragic duo whose fetid scent keeps her safe from other zombies). They are tied to Michonne like dogs on a leash. Andrea looks at her, quite grateful to be alive, yet extremely frightened by this kickass stranger.
I love the idea of a strong female figure, and a hot black woman at that! C'mon Daryl needs to rest his crossbows once in awhile, the man needs some sleep. And Michonne just brings on the fight! The web's also abuzz with Treme's actress Danai Gurira taking on the role of the hooded heroine.
If you're curious about her backstory, writer Robert Kirkman and artist Charlie Adlard published an exclusive six-page panel on Playboy. If you wanna read how Michonne got her Zombie slaves, try this link.
Rabid fans were eagerly anticipating when and where Michonne would show up in the AMC series, she's every bit like Robert Kirkman's version in the comics and I'm glad the character is now officially on the show for Season 3 just in time for 'The Governor' to take center stage. The show ends with a topshot view of the prison, a sure gorefest this Season 3.

"I absolutely love this show! I used to think that it was just another zombie story rip-off, but this series had originality, depth and drama that hooked me completely. The characters and the actors are superb, specially the girls. For a zombie apocalypse you would expect the girls to be the typical damsel in distress, but the females of this series are strong. I remember applauding when Andrea chose to fight back rather than commit suicide. I mean, if that was me, I don't think I’d make the same choice.
ReplyDeleteAnd when Michone appeared, I had to shout a whoop of joy. Here's a katana wielding heroine with two zombies escorts -- how cool is that?! I cannot wait to see more of her in the next season.

"I seriously am addicted to the Walking Dead, and I’m an avid fan of Michone. I remember seeing her image in a poster, with a katana and two walkers trailing behind her, I mean, how more cool can you possibly get? I got goose bumps when I saw her pictures online.
DeleteThe two zombie’s chained to her are like poetic in a sense. One of these walkers used to be her boyfriend, so it’s like, he was still protecting Michone, even in death. How romantic!

I still think that the walking dead series is basically a recycled idea. I don't understand what the hype is all about? Its basically the Story from the Resident Evil series added with a dramatic twist. And for those of you who read Japanese Manga, you'd know that another comic came earlier than this - High School of the Dead. Google it poeple!
