A day later than usual (sorry!), I have seen The Walking Dead’s season 4 finale. It’s been somewhat overshadowed in the TV geek chatosphere since then by the How I Met Your Mother conclusion (which didn’t really work), but nonetheless, I’ve reviewed every episode of this show to date and I’m not … [Read more...]
Three tribes go to TERMINUS… The Walking Dead S4E15 – Dork Review
Don’t worry, The Walking Dead doesn’t kill off any more kids this week. Perhaps feeling guilty over the heights of grim they scaled last week, it’s another comparatively upbeat, adventuresome effort. Rick and Michonne even smile. Not to mention: it’s the penultimate one before the finale, so the … [Read more...]
Whither expert moustache trimming in the zombie apocalypse? The Walking Dead S4E11 – Dork Review
I thought the slow, multi-strand pacing of the last two The Walking Dead episodes were a gimmick for the first two episodes before drawing everyone together, but no, it appears that’s the approach going forward. Well, fair enough. So, this week’s cast are Rick, Carl and Michonne on one hand, and … [Read more...]

The Walking Dead has cast aside the shackles of prison and sent its poor, lonely characters out into the forest. With only their wits and an impressive array of knives, will they ever find their way back to each other? And where will their next long-term shelter be?

The Walking Dead lumbers back over the horizon!

After weeks of build-up in The Walking Dead, the prison inhabitants led by Rick Grimes and the Governor’s faction of heavily armed survivors are coming together in a battle that promises to be epic.

Won’t somebody give The Governor a toy castle? The Walking Dead S4E7 – Dork Review
Usually, TV shows have a two-parter at the end of their run, but The Walking Dead laughs in the face of boring Earth traditions. The final episode of this half-season is next week, so we’ve a double-length story concluding in this penultimate episode, bringing us up to date on The Governor’s … [Read more...]
“Disease is rife among the background nobodies! Send help!” The Walking Dead S4E5 – Dork Review
We were away from The Walking Dead’s hellish prison base for one episode, but in that time, it’s descended into a pit of disease and misery, where everyone except Maggie and Carl is locked in a cell block to await the mercy of death. I’d rather die of plague than be eaten alive by zombies, but I … [Read more...]
Beware Carol – THE DARK AVENGER. Walking Dead S4E4 – Dork Revew
Death takes a holiday this week, as the merry miserable of The Walking Dead head out on a couple of supply runs. Well, one of them started last week, when Daryl and Michonne took alcoholic Bob and depressed Tyreese on a mission for medication. And now Rick and Carol go out too, looking for food … [Read more...]

Last week on The Walking Dead, it became clear that this year’s first big threat will be a dangerous strain of the flu running rampant through the prison population.
