Five Thoughts on The Walking Dead’s “Rest in Peace”

By Chris Cole | Nov 22, 2022 | Television

Here we are. The last episode. The grand finale. At least for the flagship series. The series that launched a cultural phenomenon ends after over a decade on the air, and turning a random Image title into a multi-media franchise to rival Marvel’s Avengers. While the series isn’t truly over yet (more on that later), […]

Five Thoughts on The Walking Dead’s “Family”

By Chris Cole | Nov 15, 2022 | Television

We’ve arrived at the penultimate episode of The Walking Dead. Everything is falling apart. The Commonwealth’s attempts to kangaroo court Eugene are backfiring. Pamela Milton no longer has the faith of her people. And Outpost 22 has been taken over by the inmates. Also, there’s a massive herd of walkers approaching the settlement. Spoiler alert […]

Five Thoughts on The Walking Dead’s “Faith”

By Chris Cole | Nov 8, 2022 | Television

Eugene’s on trial. Alexandria is a prison camp. And most of the principle cast is there already. We’re only a few episodes away from the grand finale, so things have to get much, much worse. We don’t know how it’ll end, but I have a strong suspicion it won’t be like the comics. Mostly because […]

Five Thoughts on The Walking Dead’s “Outpost 22”

By Chris Cole | Nov 1, 2022 | Television

Pamela Milton is closing ranks. Part of that means rounding up everyone Eugene has ever spoken with. If you’ve so much as passed through Hilltop or Alexandria, you’re either on a bus or truck to a nearby black site for god knows what kind of torture she has lined up for you. Although put a […]

Five Thoughts on The Walking Dead’s “What’s Been Lost”

By Chris Cole | Oct 25, 2022 | Television

Hornsby is in prison. Sebastian is dead (and walking). And Mercer is… well, complicated right now. This leaves Pamela Milton alone at the top. And she’s not going down without a fight. But unlike a certain other villain to hold Governor title, she’s patient enough to fight the battle quietly, and on two fronts. One […]

Five Thoughts on The Walking Dead’s “Variant”

By Chris Cole | Oct 18, 2022 | Television

Last time around, Sebastian worked himself into a shoot and got busted open hard way. The last little bit of security the gang had went with him as Pamela Milton is out for blood. Also in play is Lance Hornsby, with agents outside doing his dirty work. We’re in the home stretch as the Commonwealth […]

Five Thoughts on The Walking Dead’s “A New Deal”

By Chris Cole | Oct 11, 2022 | Television

Well let me tell you something, Deadamanics!! Last week Sebastian Milton got some heat for swerving some Commonwealth jabronis so he could grab the brass ring. Now Governor Pamela Milton can’t pop the crowd. But Carol cuts a promo on Lance Hornsby, who’s been working heel this whole season. He’s been going into business for […]

Five Thoughts on The Walking Dead’s “Lockdown”

By Chris Cole | Oct 4, 2022 | Television

The last few episodes are upon us. Walking Dead began as an Image comic that Robert Kirkman had to sell as Plan 9 from Outer Space to get made. It’s since become a cultural phenomenon with spin-offs, action figures, video games, and more. Now it’s time to close out the flagship TV series. Especially with […]

Five Thoughts on The Walking Dead‘s “Trust”

By Chris Cole | Apr 5, 2022 | Television

We’re at the penultimate episode of this chunk of the season. The Commonwealth’s dystopian nature is no longer in question for anyone, even its pumpkin armored bulldog. The only mysteries left are how deep the awful goes. And after the two fold debacle of robbery and massacre last week, whatever secret’s they’re hiding have to […]

Five Thoughts on The Walking Dead‘s “The Rotten Core”

By Chris Cole | Mar 29, 2022 | Television

Last episode ended with the chickenhawk braggart of the group turning out to be a trained killer, then throwing a bunch of innocent people off a roof. This episode starts with that, but also has a zombie filled militia compound heist. The Commonwealth is almost entirely mask off. And it’s only a matter of time […]

Five Thoughts on The Walking Dead‘s “Warlords”

By Chris Cole | Mar 22, 2022 | Television

In the past chunk of Season 11, we’ve had the true villain revealed, giving us a better idea of how exactly The Commonwealth’s corruption actually works. Or at least the more imperial side of it. At this point, the question is no longer “Who stays, who goes?” It’s become a matter of “Why would anyone […]
