Heart Of Ice! Who is Alpha?

" I want you to see that when I tell you that I will destroy everything you've built in this world, everything you love, everyone you know, that is not an empty threat"

As we draw closer to the second half of season 9, which in my opinion has to the best season since season 5. I think it would be a perfect time to give everyone an insight into the Walking Dead's most notorious and infamous character, Alpha, who is the leader of The Whisperers. We haven't seen Alpha appear on our screens...yet, but we most certainly will when the season returns on the 10th of February 

Not much is known about the Whisperers's most savage leader, other than the fact she's a mother to her child Lydia, who is also a member of the Whisperers and treats Lydia very badly. I won't go into detail on the relationship between Alpha and Lydia in case if some of you guys haven't read the comics. But it's really bad  how Alpha treated her daughter though

A full character portrait of Alpha played by Samantha Morton 

Alpha's beliefs for not only The Whisperers but the world itself is simple - Civilization is a lie and the human race are nothing but animals. When you think about it, Alpha isn't wrong. We are animals and barbarians, but Alpha takes it to the extreme in this case. She believes that the people who live in communities are only playing house and pretending to live in the old world 

So if your a murderer, a rapist or a cannibal, your free to do as you please in The Whisperer crew as long as you only obey Alpha. Interestingly, Alpha is not the real name for this character, it's only a title given to the leader of this barbaric group

The comics have never hinted or mentioned who Alpha's real name is, but it could be possible the TV series may reveal it since The Whisperer arc for this version has altered pretty significantly in terms with Rick's disappearance and Carl getting killed off back in season 8. Even though Rick and Carl played a huge role in this story, I for one am glad they changed it because while it's keeping true to the characters in the comics, it's steering away from it and coming up with original ideas that haven't been seen on the show for a long time

If you think what Alpha does to Lydia is bad, just wait to you see what she does to our a group by making the infamous Whisperer Border which involved several deaths including two major characters, in order to mark a barrier between her territory and our group's.

Alpha will be played by Samantha Morton and judging by the recent promos and teasers I have seen of her, she's going to be not only terrifying but worse than Beta. Between you and me, Alpha is actually pretty hot

Here is a link to a promo featuring Alpha creating her mask before putting it on, while  creepy music of  "Whisper, Whisper" plays in the background

You are now leaving Bikini Bottom! SpongeBob's stressful night in Rock Bottom

Rock Bottom is the 35th episode of the first episode of SpongeBob SquarePants and originally aired on March 15th, 2000. Wow! that's practically 18 years ago. It's crazy how fast time goes where the years now suddenly end within a blink of an eye. I used to think the years were slow when I was ten years old, boy was I wrong

Now back to the subject at hand. Rock Bottom is the first episode to place our happy go, lucky friend, SpongeBob, into a town he has never heard or seen before. A town that is believed to be within the deepest area of the sea known as the Abyssal Zone or Abyssopelagic Zone, where no light reaches it and always remaining in darkness

It all started when SpongeBob and his best friend Patrick Star were boarding a bus after spending a fun-filled amusement park known as Glove World. SpongeBob was allowed to board the bus without having to pay any money after he accidentally kept smacking the Bus Driver with his Glove balloon every time he turned around while finishing for cash inside his pockets. Patrick soon notices a sign reading " You Are Now Leaving Bikini Bottom", which takes them down a 90-degree cliff and entering a dark eerie town only known as Rock Bottom

 The episode doesn't reveal much about this mysterious town, except for signs such as the town's sign written in a distorted version of the English language, the bus station which becomes an integral part of the story for our heroes. It also included a strange bathroom where you can't tell which is the men's and women's based on the simple fact it had two question marks with one facing the right way up and the other faced upside down

It also showed strange looking deep sea animals residing in Rock Bottom with their language is only spoken in raspberry, where before they would begin a sentence they would blow raspberries, this followed in a middle and at the end of a sentence

SpongeBob decided to go to the bus station to find out when the next bus will be arriving, but unfortunately for him, he misses the bus that managed to take Patrick back to Bikini Bottom. Stranded in this dark town and desperate to return home, SpongeBob stands at the bus stop for several hours with several incidents leading to his balloon being blown away with an angler fish chasing it and going over to a Kandy machine to get some food, the bus always passes him by

 Angry at his failed attempts, SpongeBob headed over to the Bus Station to demand when the next bus will be arriving and that he'll be going first in line before the Rock Bottom residents. But as SpongeBob saw the bizarre creatures standing in line, he easily gives in and headed straight to the back of the line

After spending many hours inline, SpongeBob finally made it over to the ticket booth and asked the Ticketmaster when the next bus to Bikini Bottom will be arriving. Unfortunately for SpongeBob, the last bus left after only waiting for five seconds at the stop sign, leaving our friend to fend for himself for the remainder of the evening. Despite the fact, Rock Bottom is always constantly dark and you can't even tell when it's morning over there 

SpongeBob attempted to use his glow in the dark glove light in order to help him see in the dark after the Ticketmaster turned off the power in the bus station, but the glove light easily uses up all of its power and leaving SpongeBob in the dark

And if that wasn't enough, SpongeBob heard raspberry sounds within the darkness of Rock Bottom, which caused Spongebob to flee the station in terror and making his way back to the 90-degree angle road. The raspberry sounds continued to grow louder and louder, which caused us to think a monstrous creature was about to devour our beloved Sponge. Fortunately, the sounds turned out to be the same angler fish who met SpongeBob

  earlier in the night and went after his balloon. 

The anglerfish ties the balloon around Spongebob's arm and blew more air into it, while SpongeBob was grateful he failed to see the purpose of the anglerfish blowing into his balloon until Spongebob found himself  drifting into the air and allowing him to return to Bikini Bottom in one piece 

The episode ended with Spongebob landed outside his pineapple home, he sees Patrick on a bus heading back to Rock Bottom vowing to rescue his best friend and not realizing SpongeBob has already left

This is, without doubt, my favorite episode of SpongeBob, just because it was set in a different setting and how dark it was with the ominous music accompanying it
