I do interviews and write articles for the site in addition to reviewing a number of shows, including Supernatural, Arrow, Agents of Shield, The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, Forever, Defiance, Bitten, Glee, and a few others! Highlights of this past year include covering San Diego Comic Con as press and a set visit to Bitten. When I'm not writing about television shows, I'm often writing about entertainment and media law in my capacity as a legal scholar. I also work in theatre when the opportunity arises.

This episode felt unfinished to me for some reason... so I went with the scene that adds to the growing body of evidence that "I see dead people" is a reality in this world
ReplyDeleteI liked seeing thoes who've gone before. The Governor look like he's lost weight,lol.
ReplyDeleteThis whole episode just played with my feels. It was great and amazing kills but man I felt so sad and just wow. It felt a bit slow but man it's just beginning.
ReplyDeleteScene that I hated: Tyreese is bitten
ReplyDeleteReally strong emotional payoff in this ep, probably one of the strongest I've seen in any self-contained episode of this show. Really loved the way they misdirected and disoriented the viewer at the beginning, and then slowly things fell together (as things for Tyreese and our group fell apart). Added a lot of weight to the ending, with that familiar blue cap hanging on the marker. The scene where Rick's group has to pull his body from the car -- the sole long shot in an episode all about getting up-close-and-personal in a dying man's head -- that scene really sealed it for me. Quite a wallop.
ReplyDeleteI actually have trouble coming up with one here. It was the entire thing and the edit they gave it. Can't pick just one scene for this episode.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite scene was 'other', which is to say, the last scene with Ty alive in the truck. When he sees the others that are dead in the truck with him, and h tells them to turn off the radio. This was a really powerful scene for me, and so sad. He was telling them to shut off the bad, the ugly, the cruel in the world. He didn't want to see it or be a part of it anymore. Bob asks him if he's sure, as though if he'd said he wasn't, then he might have kept going and survived. (Okay, obviously he wouldn't, but it just made it seem like he had a choice, and chose peace,)
ReplyDeleteMy least favourite was all the Tyrese seeing dead folk stuff, simply because I've really tired of that gimmick generally. Well, at least it won't go on for multiple episodes, like ghost Lori, anyway.
