“What Mess Is This?” A Walking Dead Review

Beerguyrob - October 24, 2017October 24, 2017

Yesterday, I tried to combine two tortures into one, wanting the Open Thread to serve as a "Walking Dead" recap as well. However, like reading Uproxx whilst drinking a Bud Light, my day clearly fell apart and so I decided to keep the Thread pure and hold the recap over

“This Is My Yard!” – A “The Walking Dead” Finale Recap

Beerguyrob - April 4, 2017April 3, 2017

So around about the time Brock Lesnar was putting down Goldberg at Wrestlemania ("SUPLEX CITY, BABY!" - Tom Cable), the war was starting on "The Walking Dead". About 90 minutes later, I wish I'd actually been watching it, a feeling I hadn't had all year. It took a predictable Wrestlemania

“Well, That Was Penultimate” – a Walking Dead Recap

Beerguyrob - March 27, 2017March 27, 2017

Well, the stage is (somewhat) set for the finale. This episode felt like a compilation episode. There were three distinct plot points, and the episode devoted equal time to each, sorting them out by the end and making it clear where things are heading into Week 16. And just like a

Beerguyrob - March 20, 2017March 20, 2017

So just when I think this show is running downhill, I come to the realization that I've set my bar too high. This week's episode was a continuation of events from three episodes back, when Eugene announced he's Team Negan & Negan killed the Sanctuary's doctor. But it starts at Hilltop,

“That’s More Like It!” – A Walking Dead Recap

Beerguyrob - March 13, 2017March 13, 2017

Finally, A good episode of "The Walking Dead". So good, in fact, that I'm using a special to indicate such. Last week, in the comments to the recap of “Rick & Michonne’s Romantic Getaway”, JustStopDude made the prescient observation that "If you just removed the zombie element from the show…this show would have been

Your “Rick & Michonne’s Romantic Getaway” Walking Dead Recap

Beerguyrob - March 6, 2017March 6, 2017

This fricking show. Sure, there were actual zombie kills this week. And the situation they found themselves in seemed plausible given the context of the show. But the constant need to intermix the relationship between the two with the tasks at hand keep the show mired between full-on soap opera and

“Ugh – Again With This Crap?” – A Walking Dead Review

Beerguyrob - February 27, 2017February 27, 2017

Man... I don't even know. I can tell you that I watched the Oscars with my wife, looking for my future wife. I will die on these hills. The whole fuck-up at the end was my reward for sticking it through until the end, which was some time after 9:00 Best Coast time. Then I

Just so we're clear: Sorry not sorry there was no review of last week's episode. I was busy. Boy howdy - a lot of websites sure liked last night's episode. I'm not sure how I feel. Visually, it was stunning. Plotwise it felt like another Herschel's farm episode, but in three locations. Okay,

“The Episode That Saved The Season” – The ‘Fall Finale’ Walking Dead Recap

Beerguyrob - December 12, 2016December 12, 2016

Well, this was the best episode of the season so far. It's just too bad there was so much garbage in between it and the season-opener. I guess the show justified all the disparate locations so they could wrap up this half by having the 90-minutes filled with scenes in every

“Paying For Dinner & Drinks But No Kiss Goodnight” – A Walking Dead Recap

Beerguyrob - December 5, 2016December 5, 2016

The warning on that gate seems like a motto for the season, doesn't it? This week: Multiple characters! In multiple storylines! A 90-minute episode! Finally, has "The Walking Dead" emerged from its mediocrity and embraced the light?! Nope. I'm going to freely admit that I watched bits of the episode during commercials (and Earl

“Man, This F*#&!-ng Show” – A Walking Dead Recap

Beerguyrob - November 28, 2016November 28, 2016

Congratulations AMC, I think I might be done with this show. The pacing this season seems to follow games of chance. There have been only two episodes really on point; the rest seem to just be travelogues of places to visit in the zombie apocalypse. It's like someone got zombie Rick Steves and

“Forget The Fireworks Factory, Blow The Whole Damn Thing Up” – A Walking Dead Recap

Man, I don't even know anymore... He's dead; get over it. Thanks to Seamus for covering last week while I was off doing research for the site. [That reminds me - I have to file an expense report with DFO's accountant; I hope she accepts empty cups as receipts.] This week's The Walking
