Heard that the actress who plays Rey in Force Awakens says it's easy to work out whose daughter she is based on watching the movie.
Based on that, I have compiled the following characteristics of Rey
1. No problems looking after herself.
2. Excellent natural mechanical skills.
3. Excellent natural pilot skills.
4. Comes from a force enabled family.
5. Has a natural affinity with the Solo family..accepted by Han, Leia and Chewbacca.
Based on this, there is really only one logical explanation. Rey is the daughter of Han and Leia. And based on the fact that the sky walker family is partial to twins, I would say she is the twin sister of Ben Solo aka Kylo Ren.

The Walking Dead - review
Started to watch "The Walking Dead". While a quality series, I have been wondering why I am a little disturbed by the show.
It doesn't grab me like "The Sopranos", "The Wire" or "The West Wing". Plot lines are intense and the characters are compelling. But something is off.
It's not so much the violence or the gore, though they are in abundance. I think it's the bleakness of the show. There does not seem to be many victories for the lead characters in the season.
Season 1 wasn't too bad...though the CDC blowing up was the first sign that the writers like to take a "sanctuary" and turn it into a prison.
But the real pain started in Season 2. The scene when they released the walkers from the barn and the last walker was the girl they had been searching for the entire season up until that point was a shocking twist. Hit me hard. Also the big plot reveal that everyone turns into a walker when they die, including Rick Grime's best mate, who Rick was forced to kill, was full on.
And then comes Season 3. Rick Grimes loses his wife. The son has to kill his own mother. I mean, come on. Episode 8, where The Governor's zombified daughter was killed was again, shocking. Any scheme that can make you feel sympathetic for the Governor says something. He was already borderline morally, but there was a certain nobility to him in his need to protect his people. Much like Rick Grimes, he was prepared to do what ever it took to keep his people safe.
Just hope that sooner or later, the good guys win.
