An unequivocably excellent episode to cap the mid-season off. Now, of course the same things that drive me crazy about certain characters are still driving me crazy, but this episode went and took those “bugs” and made them “features”, to use programming parlance. What I mean by that is that negative character traits, which up…
Read MoreWelcome to this week’s episode of Watching Dead! Some say this was the best episode of the season, and some say one of the worst. What do Jim and A.Ron think? It might surprise you. We talk about chicken legs, advanced shooting classes, farmer’s ultimatums, the ridiculous, irresponsible way the “morning after” pills were depicted on…
Read MoreWell, this is the episode where this ridiculous show roped me into another season of watching. Unless they drop the ball really badly, like, say, crash two 737’s into each other over Herschel’s farm, I’m in. There was a lot of silly stuff, to be sure, and I think we should have been at this…

Read MoreTonight’s episode was pretty good, and then it made me as angry as I’ve ever been at a TV show. A hate formed inside me for a character so white hot, that I couldn’t think rationally. I blacked out for the entire ensuing commercial break. I’m sure you know at what point and at what…
Read MoreHello fellow survivors! It’s time for your weekly review of the survival techniques of our favorite zombie-themed drama on AMC, The Walking Dead! Let’s dig right in… Scenario 1: Mourning for the tragic murder loss of Otis, the survivors attempt to find meaning in the death of their sweaty, overalls-wearing friend. What the survivors did:…
Read MoreHey everybody! We had a nice run of two good episodes, so it was about time for a stinker. Not historically bad, by TWD standards, but about as putrid as the zombie in that well. I’m traveling this week, but was able to join the cast through the miracles of modern communication, as Jim and…
Read MoreSorry for the delay, folks. I’m traveling on business, and it did not occur to me that the hotel I was at would not have AMC. So I had to wait for the episode to be released digitally with all the other schmucks on iTunes. This will not impact our release of the cast tomorrow,…
Read MoreHello, fellow surviors! Here is this week’s survival review. What’s good for the goose is good for the muhfukin’ gander, and thus we arrive at… Scenario 1: Co-host of Watching Dead mucks up sound check, records entire podcast from his MacBook’s external speaker, bypassing approximate $500 worth of audio gear in the process, making the…
