On the Walking Dead season finale, people die. Lots and lots of people. I wanted to be really excited about this episode, but in the end, it feels like Walking Dead has been spinning its wheels for two months. The Woodbury vs. Prison war just goes on and on and on, pointlessly. How many times [...]
This was a complex and intense episode of Walking Dead, filled with struggle and turmoil. And Motorhead. The episode was titled, “This Sorrowful Life,” which sounds like a particularly depressing NPR show. It starts out with Rick having apparently undergone a complete reversal of his position on whether or not to offer Michonne to the [...]
This week’s Walking Dead episode was like a mini horror movie, tense and terrifying and filled with some classic horror tropes. The first few minutes of the episode (other than a brief flashback to Andrea and Michonne’s time on the run together) involves the boring politics of Woodbury. Milton and Andrea realize how truly sick [...]
On Walking Dead, authority always wins, the Great Failed Treaty of ’13 yields yawns, Andrea picks a side, and Glen and Maggie reveal a new rule for Zombieland. The crux of this episode is the meeting between Rick and the Governor, arranged by Andrea and set up in neutral territory, an old barn. While Rick [...]
“You will be torn apart by teeth or bullets.” This episode of Walking Dead was a throwback to season one, back when every episode left you wrung out and emotionally exhausted. Horror and anguish and humor and gore and ass-kicking zombie battles. Rick, Carl, and Michonne are on a road trip. We get our first [...]
On Walking Dead, the Prison vs. Woodbury war simmers while Andrea attempts to arrange a peace treaty. Everyone chooses sides, and Beth sings a Tom Waits song. This was a pretty slow and terrible episode. Everyone talked at each other a lot. A ton of a lot. Then some people walked around a lot so [...]
On Walking Dead, annoying people talk for 40 minutes, followed by five minutes of excellent action. I think that ratio needs to be adjusted. Funny thing about this week’s Walking Dead. My cable provider, Time Warner, is terrible. As a result, AMC was a mess of digital stuttering and distortion. It was so bad I [...]
Walking Dead returns from the mid-season break with one the goriest scenes ever. Glenn and Maggie have vague relationship issues, Daryl and Merle decide blood is thicker than…other people’s blood, and Rick finds a whole bunch of toys in the attic. Woodbury’s Daryl versus Merle deathmatch erupts into a riot when the two try to [...]
All of the Governor’s secrets are exposed in the mid-season finale of the Walking Dead. Glen is revealed as the biggest bad-ass of all, Carl’s in charge, and the Battle of Woodbury goes down in the history books. The first thing we hear is a woman screaming in the woods, leading us to a new, [...]
Walking Dead this week featured a father and son having The Talk, more uncomfortable nudity than you ever want to see again, zombie cognition experiments, and Glen on hardcore mode. As the show sets things up for the “mid-season finale,” all of the ambivalence is swept aside. Characters that previously had muddy motivations and questionable [...]
