CAROL - SUMMER RECAP

Hi Everyone,

It has been a LONG summer hiatus as usual for The Walking Dead fans but before it returns this Sunday, I thought it would be fun to recap some of the best moments that the past several months have brought us!

These are two of my favorite promo pics that were released over the summer. I just love how MARRIED they look!!! It does seem like AMC is possibly trying to hint of a closer relationship between Carol and Daryl based on the many promos of the two of them, however I will believe it when I see it as I know Caryl shippers have been teased for 8 long years. I have to say though that these pics leave me highly hopeful! 

These are my favorite scenes from the season 8 trailer that was released at San Diego Comic-Con. I like to imagine all the deep thoughts that could be going through Carol's mind as she notices the flower on the wall where she is sitting. I also loved seeing Carol as her true WARRIOR self preparing the Kingdom for battle like...... "Cover your ears because you are not strong enough to withstand the awesomeness that I'm about to throw down"!

*SAYONARA SAVIORS* 

Speaking of SDCC.....these lovely pictures that Ms. McBride was kind enough to bless us with MAKES MY HEART MELT! I love snack time with McReedus which actually sounds like a web series that I would totally watch! Another favorite is the ultimate squad goals of Lauren, Danai and Melissa.

The NYCC panel video of Ms. Melissa McBride will probably go down as one of my favorites ever just from the wild cheers of the audience alone. It kinda gives me chills because I am so proud of the progress that Carol has made and all that she has endured and yet is still here fighting the good fight for her family, but I am even more proud and grateful for the love and passion that Melissa has poured into this beautiful character. It truly inspires so many lives and I hope to one day get the chance to hug her in person & tell her thank you!

I love the Carol fandom so much and the beautiful piece of fan art above is by @pookiesmcbride on Twitter. It features the names of many McBriders and she is going to present it to Melissa at Walker Stalker Atlanta. I can't wait to hear how much she likes it!

If the above content does not make you want to jump in the bed and cry yourself to an early grave then you are probably in the wrong place. The depth and emotion that these two characters share is best represented in THE WAY THEY HUG EACH OTHER! I think it has become their "thing". I am still holding out hope for a kiss this season but honestly those hugs are the very definition of LOVE!

I saved my favorite thing for last! Let me just say that whoever had the idea to dress the cast like royalty and then have Norman and Melissa pose as the rightful King and Queen of the Apocalypse, deserves all the AWARDS in the world!!! I loved this photo shoot so much that I even had to put together a little tribute to it in the video above. I literally have no more words on this subject! #Speechless

Well....I think that about covers everything for now. I hope you have enjoyed reliving these moments as much as I have. Starting next week I am hoping to do a weekly podcast after each new episode so stay tuned! 

Until then.....WE ARE GOING TO WAR!

Love & Hugs,
