Lights Out And An Irresponsible Message About Depression.
What most people don’t know about clinical depression is quite a lot. I have personally been diagnosed with it, and yet I am in no way an expert about its biological intricacies. What I do know and what I can tell you is that clinical depression is not equivalent to simple sadness. So to tell a person who suffers from any clinical form of depression to “try and cheer up”, “do something fun to get your mind off things”, or any number of other suggestions that have nothing to do with fixing brain chemistry or psychological trauma, is frankly dismissive and unhelpful.

I promise I will tie Lights Out to my spiel, but if you haven’t seen it…be warned, there are SPOILERS ahead. The basic premise of Lights

A Recap: The Walking Dead’s Mid-Season Premiere And A Look At The Next Episode
Warning! If you have not seen the mid-season premiere you might want to stop reading NOW. The second half of season 7 of ‘The Walking Dead’ premiered last night. And a lot happened in the episode. Both King Ezekiel and Gregory denied Rick his request for help to take down Negan and the Saviors. Luckily, a few residents did join the cause. The group left Daryl behind with hopes that he can convince King Ezekiel to change his mind while at the same time keeping Daryl safe from Negan and the Saviors. Rick and Michonne cut down hundreds of walkers at once with a cable suspended between two moving cars which was pretty damn cool. They also picked up some dynamite which will come in handy. In the episode we saw Father Gabriel clean out the food reserves, and weapons and drove off into the night. Rick refused to believe that Gabriel would do that, but others have their doubts.
