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, 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 […]
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 […]
It’s Walking Dead time, where the humans are crazier than the undead. I’m talking specifically about Daryl’s poncho, but there may be other examples. The Woodbury storyline got pushed and prodded pretty thoroughly this week. We see that there’s some kind of Founders’ Day celebration going on – the Gov has even insisted the generators […]
In “Walk with Me,” Walking Dead served up a tasty slice of the past, then unveiled a bizarrely bucolic future and the best aquarium ever. Who is the Governor? What’s Michonne’s relationship with her zombie pets? What do you get for the man who has everything (except his own right hand)? The episode’s “previously on” […]
The Walking Dead returns! After a second season that was panned by fans for too few zombies and too much looking for Sophie, season three sends the survivors to a prison that is chock full of walkers. Plus, Michonne the zombie-slaying samurai. If you want to catch up on The Walking Dead before you dive […]
