Revolution: Season 2 Episode 6 - Dead Man Walking


Welcome back to the Revolution folks!  The show continues to keep me entertained, even if I saw right through the major plot twist even before the episode began.  There were still some other interesting developments that are bound to pay dividends down the road.  Let's dive in and discuss!

The Walking Dead: Season 4 Episode 3 - Isolation


Welcome back to The Walking Dead fellow survivors!  We had yet another focused episode building emotional stakes as we dive further into the sickness that has become a plague on our prison residents.  And it was very good once again!  Lots of stuff going on in this one, so let's get right to it.

Revolution: Season 2 Episode 5 - One Riot, One Ranger


Welcome back to the Revolution!  Well, the gang is all back together and everyone is happy again!  Or, you know, completely miserable which is par for the course of this show.  But, it did make for some entertaining television to see our season 1 rivals forced to work together.  The show continues to exceed my expectations from what it showed us last year.  I'm not going so far as to put it on the same level as some of my all time favorites, but I definitely have started to anticipate it every week.  And that's always a good thing!  Let's dive into the recap.

The Walking Dead: Season 4 Episode 2 - Infected


Welcome back fellow walkers for another dose of recapping mayhem for The Walking Dead!  Many critics are looking at last night's episode as possibly the best version of what this show has the potential to be.  I thought it was pretty good too and see the potential of the topics they're covering this season.  The new showrunner Scott Gimple seems to understand what people would like to see in an apocalyptic zombie television show.  We had some pretty emotionally draining scenes with characters we really hadn't met before (except for maybe some small introductions last week).  And they're still finding new and exciting ways to bring us some zombie gore!  Let's get into the recap!

Revolution: Season 2 Episode 4 - Patriot Games


Welcome back to the Revolution!  The show is still on a war path of improvement with another solid entry this week.  Of course, they went a little further in getting their "weird" on this week too which is a good thing.  We learned a little bit more about the Patriots, but their full intentions remain unclear.  Let's dive in and discuss!

The Walking Dead: Season 4 Episode 1 - 30 Days Without Accident





Welcome back fellow Walkers! The Walking Dead has returned! We are on showrunner #3 with Scott Gimple and from what we've seen so far, I may have to say that the third time is the charm. Under Frank Darabount, we had slow and introspective. With Glenn Mazarra, we had video game carnage with less emotional intensity. Scott may have found the right balance between both. He is responsible for some of the best episodes of previous seasons. (Last season's "Clear" with the return of Morgan being a good example) It's early to say he has righted this ship for the better, but this premiere is promising. To be clear, the show has always been entertaining, but it stands a chance to be raised to a different level. This may be the one show where it actually makes sense to bring in different perspectives and see how it pans out with a zombie apocalypse backdrop!

Please bear with me today everyone. I'm home with my 21 month old today for Columbus Day and have been intermittently writing this up with a bluetooth keyboard paired to my iPhone (finished up on computer). Could be an entertaining result! Let's dive into the recap!

Revolution: Season 2 Episode 3 - Love Story



Hello TV Addicts and welcome back to the Revolution!  We're still on a streak of decent episodes to begin this season.  Less mythology driven events in this one, but the action and plot advancement were good.  Let's not waste time making up nonsense for this intro and dive right into the recap!

Revolution: Season 2 Episode 2 - There Will Be Blood


Welcome back to the Revolution!  We got another solid episode to continue this already better season 2 last night.  The bad news is the ratings were not too great.  The good news is that it's NBC and the ratings are pretty much on par with what it was doing by the end of season 1.  The ratings are also better than what was airing at Wednesdays at 8 last year for them as well.  So, maybe there's a chance the show could stick around.  Shows like this don't traditionally increase viewers when the decline starts, but if word of mouth continues to bring a positive buzz around the show you never know.  With the Netflix model and people able to catch up on what they missed, anything can happen these days.  Just look at Breaking Bad's ridiculous momentum gain in the final 8 episodes.  (Totally different shows and no way am I even attempting to compare quality here!)

But ratings aside, the momentum of season 2 is pretty good and Charlie isn't making me want to scratch fingers on the nearest chalkboard for relief from bad acting.  So, we're in good shape!  And the mystery around the nano tech malfunction is only getting more interesting!  Let's dive into what went down.
