As I just finished watching the 10th season of
The Walking Dead (
have to admit, every season has been downloaded from, ahem, shall we say, less reputable sources, because I can't watch them in Ultima Thule without the subtitles. They are hard coded on my service. Won't renew. As I got first year free, I'm not losing too much, anyway), I've checked for the Blu-ray discs at Black Friday prices today.
And I found S01 to S09 (Season 7 as Limited Steelbook) for US 110:98 at today's rate.
My finger is hovering over the Buy-button....
OK. What the heck. Just pushed that button.
Delivery in 3-5 days.

Also watched the first nine episodes of
Ash vs. Evil Dead. Total is 3 seasons x 10 episodes.
Soon out scouring the net for seasons two and three. Good stuff!
But back to The Walking Dead!
Why did I buy the discs, you might ask?
First, maybe most important, to not have to get my viewing experience ruined by inane translation and subtitles plastered all over the picture.
Second, equally important, if something is really good, I don't mind paying for it. In fact, it's a matter of honour to do so! But I also don't like to be scammed. That's why I like to see what I buy before paying.
Third, when, like today, for instance, libraries are closed, it's good to have a few good books at hand. Same obviously goes for the internet and viewing material. In this case it's also good to have a pile of car batteries and/or a generator handy.
Fourth, I admit it! I'm a collector. I like a neat row of books, discs, cameras, disc cameras, bones, ears, teeth (
Gotcha! Only kidding about the body parts! Or, am I?), and the like on my shelves.
That's why. But back, again, to The Walking Dead!
And why you should watch it...
This season was actually quite good in my opinion!
Negan have gone through an interesting development of character, without getting wimpy, even though he's turning out to be quite the soft hearted one. Hugs for small girls. Cooking for friends. But not losing his winning personality!
He might even be a good candidate for replacing Rick as the leading character! Strange as it may sound.
Rick, btw. Getting medevaced by helicopter together with Jada from the Heap poses a bunch of questions. Are Fear the Walking Dead and TWD converging for real?
What will the story of Beta the Country Singer turn into? Clearly the well deserved demise of Alpha wasn't the end of the Whisperers.
Will Eugene make it to his date in time? Will Carol regain her badassness? Will Kelly's sister reemerge from the mine?
And plenty more interesting questions, to numerous to mention, have me, for one, eagerly looking forward to season eleven of TWD!
The only thing I didn't really like in the last three episodes
was the necessity to employ cat cuisine. Curdles my skin just to think of it!
I'd, personally, rather eat Nabila. Should be a healthy serving or three available there. Maybe with red onion, leek, and mushroom. And don't forget the black pepper.
