Jesus Christ we’re still on Hershel’s farm? Well, yes, we are. And, even if there’s no geographic movement, there’s still movement in the character sense. People are having things happen to them, although some of it is still in the Final Destination-lite run of luck these people have. But there’s movement! Of story, if not [...]

Don’t forget you can enter to win a limited edition screen print. Walking Dead recap should be up this afternoon. Because this is a show we recap from live airings, TWD depends on Arthur’s work schedule, but you can count on recaps around noon Monday most weeks. Downton Abbey, another show we recap from live [...]

We’re having fun revisiting interesting things during our fundraiser, and our theme is “seasons,” so I thought you’d like a stagger-through of Season 1 of The Walking Dead (see what I did there?). It’s fun for me watching my son, Arthur, grow as a writer, he does all our TWD recaps. Episode 1.1 Days Gone [...]

ETonline has an exclusive first look at Jon Hamm in The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret.  CeleBuzz has pics of Jon in full Don Draper mode. The L.A. Times highlights Jon – and Bryan Cranston — as actors who excel at drama and comedy. The Film Experience’s Nathaniel R opines that Christina Hendricks and Jon Hamm [...]

Or as my mom and I came up with, Conversations with Dead People. (Alternate joke: The episode title is a reference to its pacing.) This, my friends, was the episode of conversations. And conversations. And conversations. And… Look, when you’re doing a show like this, people are going to want zombie action. That’s understandable. It’s [...]

Boy, they weren’t kidding with that episode title, were they? This episode was the episode of secrets getting revealed or at least discussed. I wonder if I can even list all of them. Let’s list all of them.

A chupacabra is a beast of folklore. Like the yeti or Loch Ness monster, it’s rumored to exist but no proof of its existence can be found. It’s mostly rumored to exist in the Americas, especially Spanish-speaking countries. As far as the scientific evidence goes, signs point to it being the result of coyotes badly [...]

Dude, that episode was just bad. Just… bad. Look, I know I can’t expect weekly top-notch quality from this show, but this? The most memorable scenes from this show were thoroughly gratuitous. And the big walker scene was one big idiot plot. If you don’t know that term, it means a plot that relies on [...]

James Bond 23 – now officially titled Skyfall – will face its greatest challenge in his spy career—be a worthy Oscar contender next year. Casting Albert Finney can’t hurt. Entertainment Weekly extracts from Matthew Weiner’s take on his renegotiations with AMC (and the alleged impact on other shows) from the interview with his sister,  freelance [...]

Firing the entire writing staff seems to have been a good move for this show. The show is a lot better this season. Oh, sure, it isn’t cliché-free like Mad Men strives to be. This episode has both an incredibly predictable “Just in the nick of time” moment and a shirtless scene for the cast [...]
