At 7:28 p.m. this past Sunday, the Great Falls Police Department received a panicked phone call from a Great Falls neighborhood reporting that a couple had heard screams followed by gun shots. The police department swiftly responded to the scene where another neighbor led them to the house where it was believed the screaming and gun shots originated from. The officers surrounded the house and saw a family, including several children, happily watching “a show about firearms”. Sgt. Brian McGraw later made a statement about the event and clarified that he had learned that the noises heard by neighbors actually coming from two open widows near the family’s TV, which happen to be playing the mid-season premiere of The Walking Dead.

A Review Of The Walking Dead’s Mid Season Premiere “No Way Out”

WARNING SPOILERS !!! Last night AMC aired the mid season premier of The Walking Dead, “No Way Out”. It was action-packed, panic-inducing, traumatizing, insane and completely amazing! Last night after watching, I found it hard to sleep. The events from the episode had my head swimming, so many incredible moments, so many deaths. The premiere started with Daryl, Abraham and Sasha stopped in the road by Negan’s men, “The Saviors”. Just when they were about to kill Abraham and Sasha, Daryl comes to the rescue and blows The Saviors to hell. Daryl pulled not one, but two completely badass moves in the episode with his new favorite toy, a RPG. Towards the end of “No Way Out”, while Rick and the others were fighting a horde of walkers we finally saw both Eugene and Gabriel grow some balls and man-up, and it’s about freaking time. After being held hostage by the “Wolf”, Denise finds her strength, just in time to

AMC Casts The Role Of Odin For Their Upcoming Series Preacher

AMC has now cast the role of one of the biggest villains, Odin Quincannon, for their upcoming series Preacher. Anyone who has read the Preacher graphic novels by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon, which the series is based on, knows that Odin is a nasty character. He runs a Texas slaughter house and enjoys spending time “alone” with the meat after hours, if you know what I’m getting at. He’s also a hood-wearing member of the KKK and all round creepy individual. AMC has chosen The Watchman and A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) actor Jackie Earle Hailey to play the role. Preacher follows Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper), a preacher from a small Texas town, who was pushed into his profession by his effing insane family. Jesse, after being possessed by Genesis, an entity that is half angel and half demon, sets out to find God. He is accompanied by his ex girlfriend Tulip O’Hare (Ruth Negga) and an Irish
