According to CNN, the fake death trend is one of the worse things a TV show can do to its fans. Not only will Walking Dead and Game of Thrones fans now not trust some of the deaths they see in the future, but they've become angry about saying goodbye to their favorite characters, and then having them reappear. "The cover-up is often worse than the crime. And in television lately, coyness, obfuscation and occasionally outright lying can be worse than major plot twists that are snatched away like Lucy pulling the football from poor Charlie Brown." …show more content…
While the producers refused to comment on whether or not Glenn was alive or dead, fans debated the big moment, and it was eventually revealed that Glenn did not die, but had saved himself. Game of Thrones recently did a simmilar thing to their viewers as the character of Jon Snow was stabbed to death. While HBO and the cast all claimed Jon was completely one hundred percent dead, in the second episode of Season 6, Jon came back to life. However, the Game of Thrones "fake out" was a big different that The Walking Dead. In Jon Snow's case, he really did die. He was dead for only one whole episode before "The Red Lady," Melisandre, brought him back to life using the power given to her by the Lord of Light. Because of this are they, or aren't they deaths on TV, fans are now more skeptical of their favorite character dying on the shows they watch. Recently, on The Blacklist, the character of Liz was killed off, shocking viewers. However, because of the fake death trend fans are wondering if Liz is actually dead, or if this is just another fake out due to sideline actress Megan Boone, who is
Helgoth was found after the police found JonBenet. The police ruled his death a suicide, Another possible theory to JonBenet’s murder is that Patsy was the reason JonBenet died. There are many different reasons as to why she may have done this to her own child. One is that she found her husband molesting JonBenet and hit her in a fit of anger. The other theory is that she was furious that JonBenet was wetting the bed and the family set up the kidnapping and ransom note.
With producing reality shows comes producing inaccuracies in portrayals in order to reach as many viewers and gain as high ratings as possible every week with each new episode. Every day life is boring, yet people tend to be attracted to the relatable shows that portray real life in eccentric ways – ways that they believe could be imitated by the average person. In many cases, these shows could remain harmless, as it is entertainment. No matter how crude or erroneous, it is just television. However, what happens when these sources of amusement actually start being damaging? Research has shown that crime shows like the ever popular CSI: Crime Scene Investigation have started becoming significantly detrimental to criminal cases, influencing a juror's perception of what should realistically be going on with acquittal rates and wrongful convictions, but researchers have also started to find a rising fault in the prosecution, using this false perception to their advantage.
While facing death in every direction, whether from walkers, physical or mental illness, other people, or even the idea of suicide, the world in which Rick and his group live within is a hardened and cold one. Even as such is true, these people still crave survival and must do so by having food and water inside them and supplies on their back. But what would these people be able to eat as a constant food source you may ask? Well the answer is not a constant one but why not look inside the diet of such people. With much hunting and gathering to be accomplished, nutrients are needed, thus the day is usually started off with fresh garden vegetables or whatever they can muster up from the trees and dirt around them in their
You suddenly awake from a coma in what seems to be an abandoned hospital in downtown Atlanta. As you leave your hospital bed looking for any signs of life, you see a barricaded door that reads “Don’t Open Dead Inside”. As you walk past the door, hands of the undead reach out in attempts to consume you. This is how main character, Rick Grimes, was introduced into the zombie ridden post apocalyptic world of AMC’s “The Walking Dead.” If you are a fan of the series and have been watching it since season 1, you absolutely know that the “walkers” are not the only thing that Rick and the other main characters have to protect themselves from.
Did you know that the word zombies come from African and Haitian people? From the legends regarding voodoo doctors that they believe used to and might still do. Bring back the dead for a short amount of time and turn the to mindless slaves. That will follow their every order with no hesitation. Which is actually like the walkers are doing in the Walking Dead but they weren't raised from the dead. I mean they were but not literally the virus brought them back, not a person. Same goes for Kitchenette Building the speaker is not a zombie or a walker but she might as well be. The fact that she continues to live a life she doesn't want and doesn’t make changes to fix it. She just continues to do the same thing every day that, I bet anybody
He constantly provokes Rick, urges him to do the unthinkable (at the time) in order to survive), reaches his breaking point with Rick's decision-making and decides he has to kill Rick. He thinks Rick is weak and is slow to shake his idealistic view of what is right (something he struggles with throughout the show). Shane, on the other hand, has quickly adjusted to the new world in which they are living and is in full survivor mode already. The two continuously butt heads regarding the best course of action for the group, with Shane growing increasingly irritated by Rick's approach to things. One night, Shane stages a threat to the group in order to lure Rick deep into the woods. It doesn't take long for Rick to suspect that the man who used to be his best friend is going to make an attempt on his life. Rick realizes he can’t be the good guy anymore. He confronts Shane under the moonlight and ultimately rushes him with a blade and stabs him to death while screaming “Damn you for this making me do this! This is you, not me!” With no other choice, Rick decides to use Shane as a test to confirm Dr. Jenner’s (from the event at the CDC) troubling information. After Shane turns, Rick fully understands the world he lives in and becomes aware of his and everyone’s ultimate fate. Rick’s son, Carl, shoots Shane and the two run away from the oncoming horde of
Today in America, people can’t get enough of zombies, zombies are everywhere ranging from movies, books and tv shows. The entertainment business uses the zombie apocalypse theme in order to present a post apocalyptic situation that no other form of genre can really create. In American zombie apocalyptic entertainment, humans must face the horrors of survival and change, while fighting off the zombies, thus also challenging their morals. Pessimistic viewers may see the situation as depressing, prejudice and an means of expressing xenophobia. However optimistic viewers see the situation as an opportunity for better change, individually and as a collective community. A controversial example of this topic would be Robert Kirkman’s popular graphic novel, called The Walking Dead, filled with violence, betrayal and challenges. The Walking Dead can be read as a pessimistic text but the most appropriate way to read is

Media portrayal of crime and criminal justice has become incredibly widespread in the last decade, with crime often considered both a source of news and entertainment. As a source of entertainment, crime and criminal justice have emerged as central themes across various sources of media. Most individuals do not have any direct experience with the criminal justice system, so their only source of information on this topic is the media. Particularly in television shows, portrayals of crime and criminal justice can be seen in everything from courtroom dramas to nightly news programs. Indeed, the popularity of crime shows has lead to some of television’s most enduring series, such as Law and Order and CSI. Because of this, fictional
The zombie outbreak had definitely brought Rick and the other character's a challenge to their faith and survival.

The Walking Dead and Z Nation the characters act alike, they act alike in many ways. These characters act a lot alike because the way they form groups, the way they try to take control of other groups, and also the way they try to live normal. First, the
The Walking Dead, a television show about surviving in the zombie world, is based on the comic book with the same name created by Robert Kirkman. In this show Rick Grimes, a sheriff's deputy, awakes from his coma and finds himself in a hospital. He soon discovers that while he was in a coma the world had become infected, turning humans into flesh-eating zombies later called Walkers by the characters. As Rick sets out to find his family he encounters many other survivors such as Glenn, Daryl, Carl, Maggie, Carol, Sasha, Hershel, Beth, and Michonne, among many others who have died along the way. Rick and the survivors have been through a lot throughout the show, such as having to move from place to place to avoid being eating by walkers. After walking a longs way, they finally find shelter in an old prison where they now live.

Television has seen plenty of producers, writers and viewers attracted to crime and deviance. The crime drama series is not an unchanging structure but develops in an intricate relationship with audiences, media institutions, social contexts and other genres. Crime drama series’ structure often begins with some strains to the social order by criminal forces. Historically police officers or “cops” are good and the criminals are bad.

A series allows for broader representations, therefore a lot more criticism on the postmodern world. The Walking Dead’s ‘walkers’ as the character refer to them on the show, are fictional terrorists - people killing people, except their aims do not go past this, similar to a lot of terrorists in 2017. The media did not hesitate to call Salman Abedi a terrorist. Abedi was killed in the Manchester massacre, hence his intentions were never revealed. To compare, Stephen Paddock who is responsible for the Las Vegas shooting could not be labelled as a terrorist because “We still do not have a clear motive or reason why.” The definition of terrorist does not apply only to ‘Muslims’ howbeit to anyone. It is merely a stereotype that is rapidly corrupting the world. This is the same reason we enjoy zombie movies without contradiction. Terrorism is the second greatest fear in America while zombies are the least according to a Chapman University extensive survey. Zombies are fictional, as one grows up they can separate the real from the fake. Although we are still scared of them, meaning there has to be some truth. Yes, they are brain-eating monsters but they also embody a real life ordeal that we are facing greatly in reality. In The Walking Dead, an audience sees rotting facial features and thinks inhumane, dead. What we fail to notice is the dress codes. They wear everyday clothing.
