Before we get started, we would just like to remind all those people on twitter who are saying that last night’s episode was “AMAZING!!!!!!” that at every point in the episode prior to the final ten minutes, many of those same twitterers were going on and on about how much...

One thing you can’t say about the writers of this show is that they’re somehow obscure with their themes. “Secrets” is the title and thus, the narrative is suddenly flooded with them. We thought this was a good-to-excellent episode, with some much-needed emotional...

“It’s a wonder you people have survived this long.” Gotta love Hershel. He may be a xenophobe, and dangerously naive about the nature of the zombie plague, but when the man speaks, true things tend to fall out of his mouth. When a traffic jam causes one child to go missing,...

We’ve been bitching and moaning all season about the lack of movement in the story, but, at the risk of sounding trite, there’s movement and then there’s movement. Some people took our yearning for movement as literal, which isn’t too surprising in a story this nomadic...

Hey, remember last week when we said something about the rehabilitation of Shane’s character? Turns out you can forget that one. Actually, the argument could be made for a more nuanced view; that what Shane did wasn’t as monstrous as it appears to us sitting in the comfy real...

As most couples do from time to time, we found ourselves bickering while parked in front of the TV last night. Lorenzo was sniping at the screen throughout this episode, causing Tom to ask -during a commercial break, mind you – just what the hell his problem was. “It’s too...

Maybe we’re reading too much into it, but “What Lies Ahead,” might just be genius-level writing simply as the title of this premiere episode of season two. Not only does it reference the title of a horror movie, What Lies Beneath; not only does it serve to explain that this...

It’s been fashionfashionfashion all the time around here lately and we’re just dying for some juicy television to talk about since The Killing just ain’t what we thought it was gonna be. And since you could get pregnant today and be toilet-training the little darling by the...

You could look back on this little mini-season and perceive some rocky moments along the way, most notably the poor dialogue, repetitive characters (just how many rednecks does the cast require?), sketchily drawn characters (basically, everyone who isn’t Rick, Lori, Shane, Andrea and,...

In really good epic drama, there are kings and queens. Not in the literal sense (although sometimes), but in the character sense. What we mean by that is there are those few among the usually sizable cast whose interpersonal reactions and mostly private drama determine the larger fate of the...

We’re going to resist breaking this episode down into Pros and Cons because we always hated that form of review/recap. No matter what, it always comes across too smug by half. Still, the temptation is strong, because here we are, hours after the episode ended, still undecided as to...

Despite the ever-expanding size of the cast, this episode made it clear that for now at least, The Walking Dead is Rick’s story. He drives almost all the action and like any decent square-jawed hero, he’s become the moral center of the story. As the people around him flirt with...

Well. So much for the idea that the gore was just harmless and cartoon-like in nature. We immediately switched over to the Golden Girls the second this episode ended. Nothing scrubs the brain free of heavy thoughts like those lovable old bitches. We had a couple of problems with the writing...

People (not many) have asked, “T Lo, what happened to your The Event posts?” Well, here’s what happened. The last episode that aired had so little forward movement on the plot that we couldn’t string together more than a couple sentences for a review and then a week...
