So all your favorite shows have finished their seasons and you feel like there’s little left on television, right?  The Walking Dead, Doctor Who and Orphan Black have already taken their final bows, Game of Thrones only has one episode left, and Falling Skies doesn’t start the new season until Sunday. What to do? Well, [...]

In the past, summertime meant nothing new on television, or at least very little.  That’s slowly been changing over the years as cable networks have been smart enough to realize all us viewers are still at home wanting something to watch in the evening. For quite a while we’ve had a fair amount of new [...]

CBS is bringing us some additional summertime relief from repeats and reality shows.  The cable networks have known for years that viewers are hungry for original, scripted programming during the summer months and now the Eye is catching on.  Best of all, CBS is giving us quality genre fare and not a procedural. There is [...]

One of the holy grails of artificial intelligence is teaching a machine how to understand and feel emotions.  We’re a very long way from that, but what happens when we manage that milestone?  The short film ABE gives us one possible answer…and you’re not going to like it.  The answer, that is, not the short.  [...]

  Nina’s right arm was a tapestry of destruction, an inked and toned muscled map of her kills and conquests. Monsters never before seen were forever immortalized in their horror. Monsters she had hunted and slain out here in the far reaches of space and time. There was so much darkness in the universe, and [...]

When it returned from the mid-season break, AMC’s The Walking Dead broke ratings records with an audience of 12.3 million viewers.  It was clear more and more people were getting an appetite for fighting hordes of undead biters.  Now even that impressive record, which surpassed the major broadcast networks’ offerings, has been smashed like a [...]

Milton’s taking a serious beating from the Governor over his betrayals.  He knew about Andrea leaving, but the real thorn was his Biter Pit Barbecue.  After thoroughly tenderizing Milton’s face, the Governor tosses him in the torture room with Andrea.  For whatever reason, he tells Milton to pick up all the nasty tools he’d so [...]

We’re almost at the end of The Walking Dead‘s mostly excellent season three.  With only one episode left to go and plenty of conflict having been teased, the finale “Welcome to the Tombs,” has some pretty big shoes to fill.  I don’t think it’ll disappoint. As usual, AMC has released two still images for the [...]

What a great comeback for The Walking Dead after last week’s abysmal episode.  “This Sorrowful Life” was one of the best installments of season three and it looks that much better when compared to “Prey” which was a field full of plot holes. Michael Rooker’s Merle was the centerpiece of this episode and he did [...]

Good news, everyone!  Our prison regulars will be back in next week’s episode “This Sorrowful Life” and I couldn’t be happier.  After the disappointing episode 314 “Prey” it’ll be good to have the whole gang back in action.  This being the penultimate episode of season three, it will probably be more set-up for the big [...]

In this episode, the third to last of season three, a lot of people did a lot of things, but nothing really happened.  Sure, stuff happened, but this episode didn’t do much to advance the storyline.  Granted it was better than the episodes where everyone argues and talks about their feelings, but overall it was [...]

After episode 313 “Arrow on the Doorpost” we all know what the Governor has in mind for everybody’s favorite prisoners.  It was also made clear that Andrea and Milton disagree with what he’s got planned.  Even Martinez might have a hint of doubt after his interactions with Daryl, but I wouldn’t turn my back on [...]

After what seems like an eternity of teasing we finally see Rick and the Governor meet up.  It’s not a battle in the traditional sense, but one of words, threats, and lies.  Oh, and there was whiskey. The two men meet in what was once a feed store where the Governor removes his weapon as [...]

After last Sunday’s welcome jaunt far from the confines of the prison and Woodbury, it looks like the show it shuffling back to familiar territory.  In the picture above is everybody’s favorite one-eyed weirdo sitting down to what I hope will be the long promised confrontation between he and Rick.  This was the first of [...]

This episode brought us a welcome respite from the back-and-forth of the prison/Woodbury feud that’s been dragging a bit in the second half of season three.  With the focus on only three main characters there was plenty of time to add some much-needed depth to Michonne and spend some time watching Rick climb back from [...]
