Last year’s villain on The Walking Dead was The Governor, a crazy man with an eyepatch and a strange collection of heads in jars. As we enter season four, the old bastard is still out there but vanished into hiding, so his gig as head baddie is taken over by... a flu virus! Well, the invisible … [Read more...]
Walking Dead characters in happiness shocker! S4E1 – Dork Review
I’ve reviewed The Walking Dead for this site since its first episode in 2010 – I have a longer relationship with this grim soap opera of death than many close friends and loved ones. No matter how dull it was when trying to be deep, regardless of my annoyance when they didn’t kill the Governor off … [Read more...]
Dude, where’s my bloodbath? Walking Dead season 3 finale – Dork Review
The end is nigh, after a whole season build-up, this is it, etc... In short, it’s the final episode of The Walking Dead season three. The prison crew (led by recovering crazy man Rick) and the Woodbury crew (repped by worsening lunatic The Governor) finally have a big showdown, and there will be … [Read more...]
Can they fit more kills before the finale massacre? The Walking Dead S3E15 – Dork Review
In the penultimate episode of last year’s The Walking Dead season, we saw the biggest fatality of the whole run, when poor Shane realised too late that picking a fight with the lead character is a stupid idea. So, in this second-to-last effort, will we get a similar epic move? Or is it more … [Read more...]
Can we survive a whole hour in Woodbury? The Walking Dead S3E14 – Dork Review
Honestly, if you’d told me beforehand that The Walking Dead was headed for a stand-alone story featuring only the Woodbury end of the cast, I would have executed a dramatic eyeroll. This part of the storyline has always been a little one-note. But nonetheless, this is what we have: Andrea, … [Read more...]
A Little More Conversation, A Little Less Zombies… The Walking Dead S3E13 – Dork Review
I was dreading this week’s Walking Dead rather, as last episode was an excellent ray of sunshine, but mostly because it avoided the Governor/Woodbury arc. That storyline hasn’t really recovered momentum since the show came back from mid-season break. This time, we get another standalone story, … [Read more...]
Could Rick be cheering up, or is it another hallucination? The Walking Dead S3E12 – Dork Review
I wonder if my mind works exactly one episode faster than TV shows. Much of the time, I finally get sick of something, and the next week, they do something about it. That’s happened again with The Walking Dead. (Either that or I’m exactly one episode too impatient.) Last week, I finally lost … [Read more...]
The Inter-Human Pissing Match Will Never End… The Walking Dead S3E11 – Dork Review
If you were paying attention, you might’ve detected me growing weary with The Walking Dead during last week’s episode. It’s a shame, I said complimentary things about the opening half of this season and was looking forward to it resuming, but the last three episodes have tested my patience … [Read more...]
Murder, misery and maiming, hooray… The Walking Dead S3E10 – Dork Review
So, hands up anyone who would actually want to live in the world of The Walking Dead? A world of shambling misery where everyone you know hates you, and death is the only release? (Mostly because you would become a zombie, so might get to eat some of those people.) Yes, the meat-grinding nature … [Read more...]
Is Rick too crazy or just crazy enough? The Walking Dead: S3E9 – Dork Review
Since last we saw our heroes, The Walking Dead has undergone yet another personnel change. This show burns through staff as fast as zombies: showrunner Glen Mazzara has been killed off (metaphorically) due to “creative differences”. Which is a shame, as the first half of this season was their best … [Read more...]
