The zombies return for a third year in The Walking Dead, ready to chew everyone up and spit them out, probably because we reviewers were so mean about their previous run. Yes, it had pacing problems in the middle and was over-soapy, but they seemed to get their shit back together by the last few … [Read more...]

The Walking Dead: Beside The Dying Fire – Dork Review
Phew. The second season of The Walking Dead is almost over, after a final few episodes that seemed to stem from the writers waking up and thinking: “Wait, have we killed anyone all year?

The Walking Dead: Better Angels – Dork Review
It’s been a week since Dale took the title “The Walking Dead” to new heights of literalness, going for a wander late at night and getting a predictable hand-crafted zombie gutting.

Because it involved a lot of death and a barn, do you see? Do you? Well, the characters certainly do. And now they’re going to talk … [Read more...]
The Walking Dead: Pretty Much Dead Already – Dork Review
The second season of The Walking Dead has been split into two parts, one of seven episodes and the other of six.

The Walking Dead: Secrets – Dork Review
With the mid-season finale looming, it’s time for everything in The Walking Dead to come to a head, in time for big-but-not-quite-climactic events next week.
