First Time Again: Review of The Walking Dead 601 By RC Murphy
I love flashback episodes. Wait, that's a typo. I loathe flashback episodes. What you're reading is a highly censored version of my original reactions to this episode. Why? I took nine pages of notes...

JSS: Review of The Walking Dead 602 By R.C. Murphy

Thank You: Review for The Walking Dead 603 By R.C. Murphy
Well, they've done it. The show has reached a point where death has no impact. Even when we think a main character or five may be in danger.

Always Accountable: Review for The Walking Dead 606 By R.C. Murphy

Start to Finish: Review for The Walking Dead 608
While we're all pretending, let's pretend this is a good episode. When TWD comes back on February 14th, will we suffer through more of the same? I hope not. Not sure what I'm talking about? Keep...

No Way Out: Review for The Walking Dead 609 By R.C. Murphy
This episode is not for the weak-hearted. Matter of fact, I highly regretted filling my coffee mug just one more time before settling in to watch. Twenty minutes into the episode, I paused and took a...

The Next World: Review for The Walking Dead 610 By R.C. Murphy

Knots Untie: Review for The Walking Dead 611 By R.C. Murphy
I never watched the show to see who would die. I kept watching because the characters made rational decisions in an interesting setting and the story pace never lagged so much, I wanted to wander off...

Not Tomorrow Yet: Review for The Walking Dead 612

The Same Boat: Review for The Walking Dead 613 By R.C. Murphy
They've talked a big game a lot lately, but can they deliver anything as solid as the prison attack story line? As we wade through the shambling hordes of fluff and bloody hype, we impatiently await...

Twice as Far: Review for The Walking Dead 614 By R.C. Murphy

Last Day on Earth: Review for The Walking Dead 616 by R.C. Murphy

Monster: Review for Fear the Walking Dead 201
New season, new outlook on how the show will progress. It's something I do with every show hitting its sophomore season; drop expectations and watch like it's a whole new beast. Only this beast is no...

We All Fall Down: Review for Fear the Walking Dead 202
Once again, the writers show they have no faith in the viewer's ability to tell a story themselves unless they're guided by the nose the whole time. These characters are cursed. Every time they touch...

Ouroboros: Review for Fear the Walking Dead 203 By R.C. Murphy
This is the song that doesn't end . . . . There is nothing unique or original about this show. Finally, I said it. They rehash things done by other shows—even their own mother show—put it near water,...

Breaking Up with a Show
If this show refuses to stick to their characters, follow a coherent story, or just rob content from the mothership, it really isn't worth my time. I watched in the hopes that someone would bring...
