The Walking Dead Season 2 Finale

Michonne in the comics

Is it Fall yet?

Season 2 of AMC's The Walking Dead ended with a bang, filled with tons of gore, zombies and fire. However, the best parts were the setups for Season 3. We see Rick (Andrew Lincoln) reach his final straw, putting his foot down and becoming a total badass who won't take any shit. Andrea (Laurie Holden), who got separated from the group, makes her way through the woods kicking zombie ass. But out of breath and pinned by a zombie, we see a mysterious sword-wielding & hooded woman save her by slicing said zombies head off. Not only that, but she does it with two arm-less zombies chained behind her. Looks like Andrea might have a new friend to kick some ass with, now that Shane (Jon Bernthal) is gone.

Danai Gurira

This mysterious woman is the heroine character Michonne from the comics. Fans have been waiting for her to appear, and she will play a huge role in Season 3. Michonne will be played by actress Danai Gurira, who was also in HBO's Treme. The character is like a cross between Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Milla Jovovich's Alice from the Resident Evil films, but with no superpowers of course. She becomes an ally to the group in the comics in order to take down "The Governor", who will also be in Season 3. We will find out this fall how its all handled on screen. The reason for the two chained zombies she walks with is because the smell keeps the others away, as we learned in Season 1. And she cut off their teeth in addition to their arms. Genius! Michonne is the ultimate survivor.

The end of the episode also pans out and shows a massive and highly protected prison near where our favorite survivors are stopped, which will also play a role.

Season 3 will premiere in the Fall and most likely will debut to more record breaking viewership. The Walking Dead has quickly become the most watched show on cable television. Take that Jersey Shore. Now we must wait until fall...summer is overrated anyway.

VH1 Mob Wives

VH1 has recently begun airing Mob Wives, possibly to try and take back the trashy reality TV crown they used to hold in the mid-2000s with shows like Flavor of Love, Rock of Love and The Surreal Life. This time instead of relying on celebrities who need a career boost, they've traveled to Staten Island. I'm not sure, but I have a hunch that Staten Island is practically it's own country. A country of orange skinned people with jet black hair and strange accents. Mob Wives is train wreck TV, and it's hard to look away. It's the new guilty pleasure generating buzz and controversy.

The show follows around four women whose husbands or fathers are in jail for mob connections. Obviously drama unfolds. The show may already hold the record for the most bleeped out curse words on television. One of the cast members, Drita, was recently on a radio show to promote the show and dropped some F-bombs, which got the host fired. Renee and Drita will most likely be the big stars, as they seem to bring the most, uh, "colorful commentary" with Renee being the most dramatic. It's basically Jersey Shore with older people. Except they are scarier than the Jersey Shore cast.

I'm pretty sure all four of these women could have successful MMA careers if the show doesn't work out. Or when their 15 minutes are up.
