The Walking Dead may have jumped the shark tonight.
I'm not the only one with that estimation. Many others are expressing the same thing.
This show has gone political, and far too blatantly so.
This episode had one and only one purpose. It was one scene. A scene designed to throw something into the face of viewers. And that's all that this episode was meant to do.
I don't care for that no matter what one's persuasion may...

Praise from a peculiarly-placed demographic
So, I've never watched AMC's series Breaking Bad.
Okay, I take that back. I've watched half of one episode, and it looked pretty good. Made me want to see more of it. Everyone who I've mentioned to has raved about this show. Has told me "Chris what the %&@$ is wrong with you, this is the best series ever!!" or words to that effect.
Someday, sooner than later (it'll have to wait until at least after the book is finished)...

Get out your Bible and re-watch last night's THE WALKING DEAD
No need to discuss the "Bob-b-cue" or the "shish-ka-Bob" or whatever you want to call it at the end of last night's The Walking Dead 'cuz chances are that you've heard plenty enough of it today and Lord help you if you had to eat ribs tonight.
I'm re-watching "Strangers" right now and something that caught my eye...
After Rick finishes sweeping through Gabriel's church and the rest of the group come in, there are a couple of boards on either side...

Gone to Terminus
Don't even think of phoning or e-mailing or telegraphing or Pony Express-ing me for the next few hours. At least not until tonight's season premiere of The Walking Dead finishes.
(Okay, there are a few who I am expecting to call if they need to, but that's it...)
Looking forward to learning more about Terminus. It can't be that bad. Can it? Can...

I finally watched Season 4 of THE WALKING DEAD
From the very beginning of its fourth season this past October, The Walking Dead has been sitting unplayed on my DVR, taking up a sizable amount of real estate. I've been wondering what to do about it: either finally sit down and go through the season, or delete it altogether.
This past weekend I decided it was time to face some things, and let The Walking Dead stop...

THE WALKING DEAD: Forty-five minutes after "Welcome to the Tombs"...
Okay. Okay. Okay.
Okay. Oh-kaaaaay...
That was NOT what I was anticipating. The first few minutes after tonight's season finale of The Walking Dead I was feeling... well, a bit let down.
But then I remembered that Season 3 didn't end any better or worse than the previous two have. In fact, with each passing moment I'm finding myself thinking that this season finale was as well as it could have been. Perhaps,...

"This Sorrowful Life": Thoughts on THE WALKING DEAD penultimate Season 3 ep
For the record, I wanna state that I just knew what Glenn was doing when he went walking along the fence! Let's hope he thought well enough to sanitize that thing...
(Guess we're gonna see a spate of The Walking Dead-inspired weddings now, huh?)
There's been a pattern this late in Season 3: seems that AMC's The Walking Dead has been oscillating between "unbelievably...

"Arrow on the Doorpost": Rick and The Governor summit on THE WALKING DEAD
Rick, no. You almost lost your mind. Do this and you will lose your soul.
Despite the resolution to one of the show's bigger mysteries - what happened to Morgan and Duane - I thought that last week's episode "Clear" was almost too quiet a departure from what we've become accustomed with AMC's monster hit series The Walking Dead. But having just watched...

THE WALKING DEAD: "I Ain't a Judas" brings an appreciable respite
Did anyone else come away from this week's episode of AMC's The Walking Dead thinking that regardless of how little time we saw of him, that the highlight of "I Ain't a Judas" was Carl (Chandler Riggs) talking to his father Rick? Because that's what keeps sticking out most in this blogger's mind ever since watching it last night.
I have said it before and I will say...

Last night's THE WALKING DEAD nearly made Chris lose bladder control!
And mind ya, that was just from the final five minutes!!Two things I will say before anything else: that after "Home", this week's episode of AMC's The Walking Dead, David Morrissey has damned-well earned enough street credo to be top choice to play Randall Flagg in that forthcoming film adaptation of Stephen King's The Stand.Yeah, just try to get that idea out of your head...

Why you SHOULDN'T buy THE WALKING DEAD AMC Original Soundtrack Vol. 1
EeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEYYYEEEEEAAAAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH...!!!!!!!This is not cool, AMC. Not cool at all.A little while ago my beating heart be stilled when I read that the first soundtrack album of AMC's megakewl series The Walking Dead is set to be released on March 19th!I know, right? Happy-dance time. Because there has been a massive demand for a soundtrack CD from this show...

THE WALKING DEAD returns with "The Suicide King"
It's currently taking me about 20 hours to watch a new episode of AMC's The Walking Dead after it premieres on cable. That's out of voluntary choice however, because I'm a good boyfriend. See, m'lady Kristen is a huge fan of this show too... but since we're over an hour away from each other and she doesn't get regular cable (note to self: get Roku as soon as possible) we...

Assault on Woodbury! Mancave! TYREESE! Mid-season finale of THE WALKING DEAD is a blaze of gory!
JEEBUS CRIPES CRISPIES WITH MILK AND ONIONS!!Andrea?! What the hell are you doing still hanging around Woodbury?!?The last episode of AMC's The Walking Dead until Season 3 resumes in February was beyond mortal hyperbole. It aired yesterday evening but at the moment I'm still unable to catch it until either Monday mornings or evenings ('cuz that's how I'm currently able to...

Worst. Timed. Commercial. Break. Ever.
Last night's The Walking Dead on AMC brought back the intensity after the past couple of weeks' relative calm (which was needed, after what happened to Lori). This series is consistently demonstrating why many consider it to be the finest show on television right now.But that's not the point of this post. Instead I have to remark that what you're about to see is either gross negligence or brilliant marketing.At the end of the next-to-last act of...

This week's THE WALKING DEAD was the darkest yet
And that's sayin' something about this show...Congratulations producers of The Walking Dead: you finally brought television its most gruesome and disturbing birth scene since Robin's delivery in V: The Final Battle all the way back in 1984:Yeah. It was sicker than that even."Killer Within" raised the stakes. Dropped jaws. And most of all, broke our hearts.Due to peculiar circumstances at the moment I'm not catching The Walking Dead until the day...

The Governor! Review of this week's THE WALKING DEAD
Does this guy have the most gruesome man-cave ever, or what?"Walk With Me", last night's episode of AMC's smash series The Walking Dead, at long last brought us the much-anticipated appearance of The Governor: a character voted a few years ago as one of the greatest villains in comic book history.Okay, so David Morrisey doesn't resemble his graphic novel incarnation that much....

Finally watched this week's THE WALKING DEAD...
...and it would be "Sick" even if that wasn't the episode title.This week's episode focused solely on Rick's group at the prison, and picked right up from the end of last week: with Hershel's severed leg bleeding-out and the Rick's posse finding a small group of still-living inmates.That was plenty enough to launch a solid hour of some of the most intense and gruesome television I've ever witnessed. We got a lot in "Sick": an idea of how long it's...

Just saw THE WALKING DEAD Season 3 premiere
It aired last night on AMC and due to some crazy circumstance Kristen and I are only now reeling from the shock of it.And if "Seed", the season premiere episode of The Walking Dead is any indication, we are in for a hella scary ride rife with high-tension drama, and thankfully bereft of last season's lingering too much around Hershel's farm. The production values also seem...
