The Walking Dead is weird.
I’ll just go ahead and apologize up front, folks. Thanks to a dozen professional and personal obligations, I haven’t written anything for TVS in what seems like forever. I’m pretty sure I remember how to do this, however, what I’m trying to convey in this piece is also sort of confounding, so who really knows…

Review: The Walking Dead, “Save the Last One”
That’s more like it. “Save the Last One” is definitely the best episode of The Walking Dead since the pilot and it might be one that I actually like more than that stirring initial offering. This is the kind of series that I hoped The Walking Dead would be and this is the kind of…

The Walking Dead, “Guts”
After a series premiere that felt familiar, but still riveting thanks to a confident execution, The Walking Dead‘s second effort, “Guts,” just feels familiar. I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not a massive fan of the zombie genre, I have nothing against it, but it’s not one of my favorites. Thus, I’m trying…
