Throughout the second season of The Walking Dead, redneck savant Daryl Dixon has been taking the lion’s share of the cool and heroic moments. While alpha chaps Rick and Shane have been angsting and killing their own people, Daryl is stoically searching for a missing girl and battling his inner … [Read more...]
The Walking Dead: Cherokee Rose – Dork Review
This week’s Walking Dead is the closest we’ve had so far to a day in the life of a bunch of zombie survivors. They ran errands, took stock of their position and, yes, there was even a few romantic moments or two. Well, in a way. It’s hard to tell. Of course, this sort of thing could be boring, … [Read more...]
The Walking Dead: Save The Last One – Dork Review
This week on The Walking Dead: utter, crushing misery. I know I shouldn’t expect a show about survival post-zompocalypse to cheer me up, but this entire episode radiated horror. Well, there were a few wisecracks to cheer me up, but for the most part, sadness. So, was it the good kind of … [Read more...]
The Walking Dead: Bloodletting – Dork Review
Last week, The Walking Dead opened their season by outdoing themselves, in terms of both zombie-lurching set pieces and horrendous splatterage. So, as one might expect, this week sees consolidation, as they introduce new non-decomposing characters and turn the screws on our existing ones. So do … [Read more...]
The Walking Dead: What Lies Ahead – Dork Review

So, the first new … [Read more...]
The Walking Dead: TS-19 – Dork Review
The Walking Dead is over! Well, the first season, and the second is on the way. And with the possible exception of the fourth, I’ve really enjoyed them all. As new series launches go, this must qualify as a successful one, in terms of both fan opinion and cold numbers. Ratings in the states have … [Read more...]
The Walking Dead: Wildfire – Dork Review
As you’d expect from a series as slow as The Walking Dead, this week is mostly devoted to the aftermath of last week’s sudden zombie attack. The survivors pick up the pieces, and many cast members are dead. Of course, I wasn’t as in love with last week’s episode as I had been with previous ones, … [Read more...]
The Walking Dead: Vatos – Dork Review
It seems like The Walking Dead has barely started, and yet we are two thirds into the first season. That already-ordered second season of thirteen is some comfort, but still. God knows how we cope in Britain, where everything only gets six episodes. Anyway, the incremental, atmospheric … [Read more...]
The Walking Dead: Tell It To The Frogs – Dork Review
As we travelled wearily through this week’s The Walking Dead, it was easy to get nervous and paranoid. After all, at any moment a zombie or big emotional moment could leap out on us. The tension was thicker than those ignorant Southern stereotypes pounding around Rick’s camp. As the buzz … [Read more...]
