‘Walking Dead’ Character Guide: The Camp

‘Walking Dead’ Character Guide: The Camp

Back when ‘The Walking Dead’ started its two-and-a-half-month hiatus, I put together a Character Guide for the Grimes family. We talked about each character’s chances of survival, and how they might die. With the show starting up again on Sunday, I’d like to take a look at other members of the cast, starting with the rest of the camp.

‘The River’ Pilot Recap: “There’s Magic Out There!”

‘The River’ Pilot Recap: “There’s Magic Out There!”

I thought that I’d dislike ‘The River’. I’m only a casual “found footage” genre fan, and I don’t really care for ‘Paranormal Activity‘ or its clones. So, color me surprised when I actually enjoyed the first two episodes of ABC’s new jungle horror show, which was created by ‘Paranormal Activity’ director Oren Peli.

‘Grimm’ 1.10 Recap: “This Town Is Definitely Getting Weirder”

‘Grimm’ 1.10 Recap: “This Town Is Definitely Getting Weirder”

It’s been a while since we’ve recapped ‘Grimm’ here in the blog. Although I still like the show, I haven’t been keeping up with it in a timely fashion. I finally caught up this weekend, so let’s take a look at the most recent episode.

‘Smash’ Pilot Recap: “I Hate the Theater, I Really Do”

‘Smash’ Pilot Recap: “I Hate the Theater, I Really Do”

After what seems like months on end of repeating commercial after commercial after commercial for the show during all of its programming, NBC finally premiered the new musical drama series ‘Smash’ this Monday. Surprisingly, the ads somehow didn’t give away all the best parts of the episode. Even more surprisingly, the show is actually kind of good.

‘Fringe’ 4.11 Recap: “You’re Not You, Are You?”

‘Fringe’ 4.11 Recap: “You’re Not You, Are You?”

Friday gave us a particularly good episode of ‘Fringe’ that focused on one of the show’s supporting characters who doesn’t often get the spotlight. It also has a brief, almost throwaway moment at the end with unexpected layers of depth and complexity behind it.

‘Alcatraz’ 1.04 Recap: “Take the Bank”

‘Alcatraz’ 1.04 Recap: “Take the Bank”

As a result of our crowded post schedule last week, I didn’t have a chance to throw together a recap of last Monday’s episode of ‘Alcatraz’. Let’s try to get that done before tonight’s new episode airs. What, you expected us to talk about football here? Please…

‘Fringe’ 4.10 Recap: “Do You Believe in Fate?”

‘Fringe’ 4.10 Recap: “Do You Believe in Fate?”

As a Boston resident, I’m frequently amused when ‘Fringe’ tries to pretend that it’s is set in the city, even though the show is filmed in Canada and makes no attempt whatsoever to seem Bostonian, aside from the characters tossing out a familiar location name every now and again. You can imagine my delight when this past Friday’s episode supposedly paid a visit to my very own neighborhood.

‘Chuck’ Series Finale Recap: “I’m a Stone Cold Spy”

‘Chuck’ Series Finale Recap: “I’m a Stone Cold Spy”

The five-year odyssey of ‘Chuck’ ended its run this past Friday with a two-part series finale that, if perhaps not an artistic pinnacle for the show, at the very least brought things together with a satisfying note of closure.

‘Touch’ Pilot Recap: “We All Have a Destiny”

‘Touch’ Pilot Recap: “We All Have a Destiny”

Amid persistent rumors that a ’24′ movie may be in the works soon, Kiefer Sutherland has already returned to Fox primetime in the new series ‘Touch’, a drama with a sci-fi or possibly supernatural bent. The network ran a preview of the pilot episode last week and will pick up the rest of the show’s run in March. Unfortunately, the first episode didn’t really grab me. (Get it? Grab… touch… Yeah, that’s the best I got, sorry.)
