At the end of The Walking Dead’s third season, big villain the Governor finally snapped, launched an unsuccessful attack on the heroes’ prison stronghold, then followed it up by gunning down a load of his own people. He’d also spent the entire year killing and betraying everyone, so you’d think he’d … [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...]
The Bestest Virus Outbreak Ever! The Walking Dead S4E3 – Dork Review
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. Without antibiotics or the option of leaving, plus the added problem of the dead turning into zombies, it’s a real headscratcher for … [Read more...]
Man Vs Zombie Vs Virus – WHO WILL WIN? The Walking Dead S4E2 – Dork Review
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...]
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...]
