‘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.

‘Justified’ 3.01 Recap: “Not Much Call for Cowboys These Days”

‘Justified’ 3.01 Recap: “Not Much Call for Cowboys These Days”

‘Justified’ returned to kick off its third season last week. Even though the show has never been a significant ratings hit, the FX network has had enough faith to keep it on the air this long. That’s a good thing for fans, because the last season left a number of unresolved storylines hanging.

‘American Horror Story’ 1.12 Recap: “No Chance of Mercy”

By far the wildest show on television, ‘American Horror Story’ drew its (I would call it brilliant overall) first season to a close last week. I’m not sure what I was expecting from the finale episode, but it’s safe to say that I wouldn’t have ever guessed this. Honestly, I’m not sure whether that’s good or bad. (Spoilers to follow.)

‘Covert Affairs’ 2.16 Recap: “Have Fun Working”

Yes, ‘Covert Affairs’ is still on the air, and yes I’m still watching. I can’t pretend that it’s a great show, but it’s passively entertaining enough that I’m still with it. Last week, the series had its second Season 2 finale. As some viewers may recall, the season started in the summer, took a break for a few months, and then picked up again in November.

‘Haven’ 2.13 Recap: “You Tried to Beat Up Santa”

‘Haven’ 2.13 Recap: “You Tried to Beat Up Santa”

Something very odd happened last week. From seemingly out of nowhere, my DVR suddenly reported that it recorded a new episode of ‘Haven’, Syfy’s summer series that had its second season finale back in September. Was this an early start for the third season? It turns out, no. Of all the shows on television that might put on a one-off Christmas special, this seems like one of the most unlikely. Nevertheless, here we have it.
