I wonder if my mind works exactly one episode faster than TV shows. Much of the time, I finally get sick of something, and the next week, they do something about it. That’s happened again with The Walking Dead. (Either that or I’m exactly one episode too impatient.) Last week, I finally lost … [Read more...]
The Inter-Human Pissing Match Will Never End… The Walking Dead S3E11 – Dork Review
If you were paying attention, you might’ve detected me growing weary with The Walking Dead during last week’s episode. It’s a shame, I said complimentary things about the opening half of this season and was looking forward to it resuming, but the last three episodes have tested my patience … [Read more...]
Murder, misery and maiming, hooray… The Walking Dead S3E10 – Dork Review
So, hands up anyone who would actually want to live in the world of The Walking Dead? A world of shambling misery where everyone you know hates you, and death is the only release? (Mostly because you would become a zombie, so might get to eat some of those people.) Yes, the meat-grinding nature … [Read more...]
Is Rick too crazy or just crazy enough? The Walking Dead: S3E9 – Dork Review
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...]
The Walking Dead: Made To Suffer – Dork Review
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...]
The Walking Dead: When The Dead Come Knocking – Dork Review
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...]
The Walking Dead: Hounded – Dork Review
This season of The Walking Dead exists in two worlds: the prison, where most of our previous cast live, and the new town of Woodbury, populated by two villains and the least likable member of the old ensemble. I wonder if the residents realise they’re living in an evil fortress. But nonetheless, … [Read more...]
Walking Dead: Say The Word – Dork Review
Last week’s The Walking Dead was harrowing, knocking off two long-time characters (or, as we’ll see later, potentially three) and driving our main man over the edge of lunacy. We shuddered, we wept, we wondered if we were happier during season two when the show was dull. So, surely it’s time to … [Read more...]
The Walking Dead: Killer Within – Dork Review
It feels like The Walking Dead has been taking those “too boring!” criticisms to heart, as this year they’re determined not to stand still for a single second. I don’t want to say too much in this intro, but um, wow, I’m starting to get whiplash. So, another big episode then. Best get going, and … [Read more...]
The Walking Dead: Walk With Me – Dork Review
For the last two reviews, I've found the new, tense, survival-heavy Walking Dead season 3 a vast improvement, and dreaded the inevitable onset of quieter episodes. That day is here already, guys. This week, we ditch the regular cast to focus on Andrea and new character Michonne encountering the … [Read more...]
