“Do Not Send Us Astray” is the first episode in a long time where the zombies weren’t just accessories to the human drama unfolding (slowly). Instead of keeping them in the background, barely given a second thought unless the week’s budget allows for a few easy kills to up the… Read more
If you would have told us five years ago that The Walking Dead would feature a showdown with Rick and Negan involving a flaming Lucille and zombies ablaze, we would have thought there was no way this show wasn't still the best show on television. Unfortunately, this show has gone… Read more
Things we learned from “Dead or Alive Or”: Gabriel is a Christian. Dwight is sorry. Tara doesn't care. Eugene is weird. So basically … nothing.
Last night’s episode of Lifetime Presents: The Walking Dead was an emotional journey through Carl’s last day on this zombie-riddled planet. After taking a bite to the belly, Carl spends the day getting his affairs in order for a tearful goodbye and a last-ditch effort at a humanitarian plea for… Read more
Welp, here we are. The midseason finale. After eight episodes, all that really happened is Rick and Co.'s plan didn't work (is it any surprise? I'm not even sure they had one) and Negan and the Saviors shifted the momentum of the fight. All the dark and foreboding elements of… Read more

Is it any surprise that an episode which features the return of the Garbage People turned out to be anything other than … well, garbage? We're six episodes into this eighth season, and while we've gotten some action and a few decent episodes, we're still meandering along in the dark… Read more
It took us almost a month, but we're finally back at the Sanctuary with Negan and Co. Assuming their fearless leader was zombie food, the hierarchy of the Saviors fell into disarray, making it all the more clear that Negan is el jefe grande. When juxtaposed to Rick, whose leadership… Read more
What's this? Two entertaining episodes in a row? After last week's morality check in “Monsters,” “Some Guy” ramped up the action and brought tragedy to the people of the Kingdom. And while there was a bit more context to this week's episode (which was strengthened greatly by the decision to… Read more
“Monsters” was by far the best episode of a young Season 8. The apt plurality of the title did a good job of representing the episode's exploration of the characters we view as the “heroes” and “villains.” The discussion between Morales and Rick set it up, and the battle between… Read more
