For those complaining that The Walking Dead season 2 has been too much talk and too little shamble-shoot-shock, this episode should serve as welcome catharsis. There are deaths of both the zombies and the living, as well the usual angst, of course. So, is this what we need? The finest episode in … [Read more...]
The Walking Dead: Nebraska – Dork Review
After a ten week break to catch its breath, The Walking Dead has returned to FX to address the cliffhanger that the producers are apparently calling “Barnageddon”. 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. To be fair, such trickery is more common in the US, with shows often taking a hiatus over the holidays – the zombies are just having a few months off instead of one. So, will this … [Read more...]
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.

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
Smash-hit zombie series The Walking Dead disappeared after only six episodes last year, which must have been torture for the Americans and, you know, business as usual for the UK, but now it’s back for a superlong 13 episode run, albeit split into two chunks in Doctor Who style. 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...]
