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.

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 […]

Five Thoughts on The Walking Dead’s “The Lucky Ones”

By Chris Cole | Mar 15, 2022 | Television

The big twist last episode was that there was no Stephanie, which Eugene didn’t take particularly well. But in the closing minutes of the episode, we get two new revelations. The first that the Stephanie we were introduced to was not the same Stephanie that Eugene originally bonded with before. The second is that Hornsby, […]

By Chris Cole | Mar 8, 2022 | Television

Hey it’s Season 11, Episode 11. Make a wish. It’s been roughly two months since the Commonwealth took over Alexandria. According to dialog, one month since the last episode. Time is moving rapidly this season, bringing us closer to a possible conflict between the two settlements. But in the meantime, we’re still in deep with […]

Five Thoughts on The Walking Dead‘s “New Haunts”

By Chris Cole | Mar 1, 2022 | Television

Last episode, we were given a glimpse into the future of Alexandria, with Daryl decked out in Commonwealth body armor. We’re left with the image of the apparent turncoat Daryl coming up against Maggie. But those scenes were a time skip, showing us events six months into the future with limited context. There’s still all […]

By Chris Cole | Feb 22, 2022 | Television

The Walking Dead is back! Season 11b kicks off right as it left off back in October. Alexandria’s ravaged by storms. The cracks are showing in the Commonwealth’s facade.

Five Thoughts on The Walking Dead’s “For Blood”

By Chris Cole | Oct 12, 2021 | Television

We’ve reached midseason finale number one as Walking Dead Season 11a draws to a close, bringing us that much closer to the end of the series. We move away from the Commonwealth this episode to focus on the horde moving against the Reapers. Also, Alexandria gets weather. Because being forced to eat horse jerky wasn’t […]
