After weeks of build-up in The Walking Dead, the prison inhabitants led by Rick Grimes and the Governor’s faction of heavily armed survivors are coming together in a battle that promises to be epic. Surely people will die? Can anything be the same after this week? And doesn’t all this feel kinda … [Read more...]
Usually, TV shows have a two-parter at the end of their run, but The Walking Dead laughs in the face of boring Earth traditions. The final episode of this half-season is next week, so we’ve a double-length story concluding in this penultimate episode, bringing us up to date on The Governor’s … [Read more...]
At the end of The Walking Dead’s third season, big villain the Governor finally snapped, launched an unsuccessful attack on the heroes’ prison stronghold, then followed it up by gunning down a load of his own people. He’d also spent the entire year killing and betraying everyone, so you’d think he’d … [Read more...]
We were away from The Walking Dead’s hellish prison base for one episode, but in that time, it’s descended into a pit of disease and misery, where everyone except Maggie and Carl is locked in a cell block to await the mercy of death. I’d rather die of plague than be eaten alive by zombies, but I … [Read more...]
In the penultimate episode of last year’s The Walking Dead season, we saw the biggest fatality of the whole run, when poor Shane realised too late that picking a fight with the lead character is a stupid idea. So, in this second-to-last effort, will we get a similar epic move? Or is it more … [Read more...]
Honestly, if you’d told me beforehand that The Walking Dead was headed for a stand-alone story featuring only the Woodbury end of the cast, I would have executed a dramatic eyeroll. This part of the storyline has always been a little one-note. But nonetheless, this is what we have: Andrea, … [Read more...]
I was dreading this week’s Walking Dead rather, as last episode was an excellent ray of sunshine, but mostly because it avoided the Governor/Woodbury arc. That storyline hasn’t really recovered momentum since the show came back from mid-season break. This time, we get another standalone story, … [Read more...]
Since last we saw our heroes, The Walking Dead has undergone yet another personnel change. This show burns through staff as fast as zombies: showrunner Glen Mazzara has been killed off (metaphorically) due to “creative differences”. Which is a shame, as the first half of this season was their best … [Read more...]
Okay everyone. Settle down. It’s time for the first skirmish between the two survivor groups of The Walking Dead, and it’s the mid-season finale, so mid-level pain could really go down. Will someone die? Will they matter? Will we come out of this excited for season 3.5? And will Michonne finally … [Read more...]
Two worlds orbit each other in this week’s Walking Dead, as our dual settings (Woodbury and Prison) exchange a couple of characters, make small talk, then finally, tentatively but oh so gently, start torturing each other. And with the mid-season finale next week, hopefully bloody revenge isn’t … [Read more...]
