Revolution: Season 1 Episode 11 - The Stand


Welcome back everyone to the Revolution!  It's been a loooooong hiatus for the show.  You would hope that NBC has a plan for keeping the ratings champ alive and well after such a long break.  Bringing it back on the same day as their other big hit THE VOICE, is probably a good idea.  We shall see.  We didn't lose any momentum plotwise though.  Things picked right up where we left off.  While it still felt like the show of old, you can sense some of the retweakings at work.  They had a long time to think about the direction of the show and retool.  Eric Kripke and J.J. Abrams have not been bashful about talking about said tweakings.  I've heard comparisons to Game of Thrones when talking about the political aspect of the show.  I'll believe it when I see it.  But, so far, I'm still enjoying this show and they packed quite an emotional punch in the end while eliminating some dead weight at the same time.  When we last left this show, I believe I was still giving this the full blown "Mike V. Recap Treatment" with pictures, sections for subplots and so and so.  For now, I think I'm going to go to the "Mike V. Breifcap Treatment" with just a list of bullets of observations from the episode and things worth noting.  If you are reading my Walking Dead recaps, it shouldn't be anything new.  Time is short these days, but I still want to have discussions about these shows!  So, let's get to it!

The Walking Dead: Season 3 Episode 15 - This Sorrowful Life


Welcome fellow fans of The Walking Dead the the penultimate season 3 episode recap!  The penultimate episodes of each season has given us some pretty powerful moments.  In particular, we said goodbye to Shane last year in fine fashion.  So, I had a feeling we were in for something crazy this week.  I had already marked the character in question as a goner this season, but the way that it was handled was absolutely perfect.  The Walking Dead has really hit its stride this season, and all I can say is WOW!  Several other key things happened in this episode so we'll try to cover them all in this brief recap!  Let's dive in!

The Walking Dead: Season 3 Episode 14 - Prey


Hello fellow zombie enthusiasts!  The Walking Dead's 3rd season has had a very strong 2nd half, and it didn't stop last night.  Shocking, because we only got a glimpse of Rick and the prison setting last night (and none of the rest of Rick's crew).  Instead, we focused on Andrea's "coming of age" story in Woodbury.  Well, maybe less coming of age and more "gaining some common sense"!  The majority of the episode featured the Governor/Andrea chase which was absolutely thrilling.  But, there were some other key moments to discuss as well.  Let's dive in!

The Walking Dead: Season 3 Episode 13 - Arrow on the Doorpost


Hello fellow Walking Dead fanatics!  Wow, I've been really impressed with this show the past couple of weeks.  Sure, some may not enjoy the change of pace, but I'm a fan.  I long defended season 2 stating that the slower pace gave an opportunity for more character moments making any subsequent stakes/action even more intense.  I love the fact that we got to see characters on both sides bond a little bit and that we finally got interaction between Rick and the Governor.  It was a nail-biting hour of television and it sets the stage for the climactic battle to come.  Let's get to some of the discussion points.
