Anyone watch the Walking Dead on Sunday?
Crazy episode. Gut wrenching. Well done.

Since things went down at the prison the last 5 or 6 episodes have been outstanding. Just a small cast in each, but a chance to really get to know the characters and see them in a different light. Really a nice turn.
What's the fire? I suppose we'll find out in one of the last two episodes.

I was skeptical of this idea at first, but the more I see of it, the more excited I get. Especially seeing the cast all together like this gives me a lot of hope that it could be an awesome show:

I need more than a few clips to pass judgement, but Martin Freeman's Minnesota accent sounds like a weird Irish/Minnesota amalgam.

Yep. And with the Coens involved.

"New baby buggy"... really?

The article touches upon it, but Wheel is so thin on puzzles that they have to throw on adjectives and qualifiers to actual things. So we end up with puzzles like "used coping saw" or "inconspicuous armoire."

I try to get out, but it keeps pulling me back in. I was about done after the governor came back, and then the Rick and Carl episode wasn't very good IMO. These last 3 have been terrific.

I know its hip to hate on the show, but it's pretty good. It gets big ratings and some episodes are hit and miss. But it's generally entertaining and there are some gem of episodes and characters. Sopranos and Breaking Bad it's not. But why it gets so much bad pub is beyond me. I mean Homeland has much more serious flaws and horrendous plots, and it wins Best Drama...

Anyway, last week's episode was stellar. And I can't wait for tonights.
