There was a certain amount of uneasiness heading into this season finale. All season the writers have been throwing one twist after another on us loyal viewers and just when it appeared things had calmed down, another character would shockingly get killed off. And what better way to leave viewers agonizing over the next season […]
Hell has come to Alexandria and its name is Rick Grimes. What’s made the Alexandria story arc so brilliant is how each week the writers force us to question the sides and consider who has determined the best way to live in a world run amok by walkers. Is it the residents of Alexandria safely […]
A fittingly brainless parody, but sadly lacking wit, subtlety and humor, ‘The Walking Deceased’ proudly carries the torch of such crimes against comedy like ‘Disaster Movie,’ ‘Epic Movie’ and ‘Meet the Spartans.’ To be fair, comedy is so subjective it may be the hardest genre to get right. Parody comedies are even more challenging, but […]
For viewers wanting a lot more bloodshed, action and trimming the fat character-wise, this was probably the most satisfying episode since Terminus. Those looking for significant advancement to the Alexandria storyline got some welcome developments this week as well. As for the rest of us who are happy to go along with every twist and […]
Horses were harmed in the filming of this episode, Carol tells the worst bedtime story ever, Sasha discovers a new found loathing of dinner parties and several unexpected members of the Grimes Gang are drinking the Alexandria Kool-Aid and are ready for seconds. We’re only two full episodes in, but already the Alexandria storyline is […]
Rick’s Gang was on the verge of being broken. They’d seen countless friends die, been on the brink of starvation too often and had seen a promised land turn into a nightmare one time too many. And with group morale at its lowest, arriving at Alexandria with its separate houses, running water, electricity (and razors!) […]
Carol best sums up my thoughts on this episode at the end when she tells Rick even though he was wrong, he was right. And man, did Rick do a lot of wrong tonight. After being burned one time too many by a seemingly kind stranger with a smile offering promises of safety and sanctuary, […]
After the last couple of weeks, you’d expect Rick’s crew to be beaten down and not in the best of spirits and that’s exactly where this episode finds them as each member of The Grimes Gang tries to process their latest losses and mounting sense of hopelessness. Finding a little food and water would be […]
Welcome back Walking Dead. This winter hiatus has been forevvver, but the show comes roaring back with a costly episode for The Grimes Gang as they say farewell to one of its mainstays. Season 5 got off to a fantastic start with the quick resolution of the Terminus subplot, then stumbled a bit with Beth […]
Looking back, the fall finale of Season 5 didn’t need some major status quo shakeup like The Governor’s invasion of the prison. It didn’t need an action movie shootout as we’d already gotten that earlier this season with the escape from Terminus subplot. We didn’t even need a big shocking twist or a massive body […]
