The Walking Dead: Adaptation (2019)
The second best mid season premiere
This episode will be a slow for some people but it's also great at the same time, theirs mainly only two plot lines during the episode and their both satisfying to watch.
Negan leaves Alexandria after a confrontation with Judith who says she'll shoot if she sees him again, while he's outside of the walls he gets another leather jacket and revisits a now run down sanctuary where the only things that remain are cobwebs and dead lieutenants wandering in the courtyard, he also comes across a pack of wild dogs and eventually Judith who as promised, tries to shoot him.
Now theirs the main plot, Daryl and the crew continue to slaughter the horrifying whisperers while trapped in the graveyard while trying to make it back to Hilltop in one piece, they come across more of the foes but Daryl has strategy and Michonne has katana skills so this problem is solved quickly. They take one as prisoner and drag her back to hilltop for questioning but she doesn't want to speak so Daryl let's Henry talk to her from his cell.
The third plot line that is smaller than others ends on an awesome cliffhanger, Alden and Luke go searching for Daryl and the crew who haven't been gone for over a day and get lured into the woods by arrows not realising a trap is under way, before long they get surrounded by the dead and a walker wielding a double barrelled shotgun.
The Walking Dead: Beside the Dying Fire (2012)
One bullet equals hundreds of walkers
In what is supposed to be a bad, slow paced season (I disagree), the finale ends on a high note.
Carl put down walker Shane and doing so brought a giant herd onto the farm. A large one too, this is the biggest threat the group has faced yet.
The group is forced to split across the land driving around to pop off as many walkers as they can, Rick and Carl set fire to the barn as a distraction, Andrea is surrounded and the group think she dies but she ends up living and is saved by an unknown figure holding a katana.
Side characters like Patricia and Jimmy get torn apart by the dead and eventually the farm is overrun so the group split literally.
They end up reuniting at the end on the same road where Sophia went missing, this is where a great plot twist happens. Jenner told Rick that everyone is infected and that the virus is airborne. Also Rick becomes a full on leader and tells the group they cant leave with a very iconic line "This isn't a democracy anymore".
Riverdale: Chapter Forty: The Great Escape (2018)
Absolute cringe
The episode was good but the whole escape scene was just terrible, Jughead is the most over the top character I know in TV and the acting isnt good to go with it. It just dropped so hard in quality from season 2.
Also stupid that the other boxer guy couldnt go her could clearly fit and they made it look like he was about to die and just so happens Archie gets to the top when Betty opens the gate.
The Walking Dead: What Lies Ahead (2011)
Herds are dangerous
After a strong first Season, Season 2 delivers on an awesome, intense, gory first episode.
The group decide they should now head to Fort Benning but get stopped along the way by a road filled with smashed cars blocking the route, they also dont have much gas and the RV breaks down.
This episode introduces the herd, a pack of walkers all heading in one direction. sometimes they are small and sometimes they are large as you will see in later seasons.
The herd creates some tense moments for Andrea hiding in the RV toilet, Daryl hiding under dead walkers, T-Dog with a badly injured arm and the rest of the group hid under cars. The walkers startle Sophia, she goes missing later in the woods and Rick and Daryl can't find her, they even gut a walker in gruesome fashion.
The group split up and discover a camp site with a dead corpse in the tent, a church filled with religious walkers (Lol) and a deer that Corrral tries to pet and a hunter accidentally shoots him, What a cliffhanger.
American Horror Story: Madness Ends (2013)
Again.....
Once again just like Season 1, its great all the way through and the finale is just a let down. I could see what they were going for but it doesnt work, finales are supposed to give lots of closure and are also supposed to leave the viewer wanting more, what I wanted was to turn the episode off half way through.
All we see is that Lana wrote a book about Dr Thredson being bloody face and that she shut down Briarcliff. Kit saved Jude from the asylum and took her in and shes now the nana to his kids, he also gets remarried and Lana is their godmother.
This may have been might fault for not paying attention but what was going on with her son, im not sure how he exists cos I wasnt paying attention 😂😂 but savage af when she blew his brains out.
I watched the episode minutes ago and I dont remember the ending I was that interested but it just fell flat, I may need to give it a real watch.
Game of Thrones: Beyond the Wall (2017)
The worst of the show
I'm a big fan of this show but this episode is defintley the worst out of them all. The special effects are great but the writing is terrible. It felt like I was watching some fan fiction play out on screen, Lets break down all the poor writing.
The ice has been freezing for a long time and whites destroy it. A few hours later, I assume thats how much time has passed judging on how cold it is and they haven't froze, the whites step on it again but this time nothing.
Characters are traveling too fast, Gendry makes it back to the wall in about an hour running in one direction and not sure where he is going, Daenarys gets a raven and then brings her dragon all the way to Jon in the matter of hours, How fast are the bloody ravens?
In Hardhome the whites are too much to deal with, wiping out hundreds easily but when its about 5 on a rock surrounded by more than in Hardhome, the whites attack slowly and they hold them all off, Tormund is being attacked by 5 at one point for like a whole 30 seconds and not a single scratch on him.
The Night King has the chance to take out Drogon, the biggest dragon and would be the best weapon while all the main characters are on it but he choses the smallest, why didnt Daenarys just head straight for him?
Jon doesnt climb straight on, he decides to take out whites that arnt that big of a threat, he is the reason that viserys dies.
The show doesnt kill off main characters anymore, they have more plot armour than Negan in the TWD S8 premiere 😂😂 and only side characters like Uncle Benjin are dying and for stupid reasons, you'll understand after watching the episode.
Where the hell did the whites get big ice chains from and how did they pull the dragon from out the ice?
Also how does the winter in GOT work? Jon doesnt catch hypothermia after being in the cold for at least a whole day and been in freezing cold water and no warmth.
Also characters like the Hound now act dumb, he decides to throw rocks off the whites for fun, its pretty funny but feels out of character I guess and if he didnt throw the rocks they may not have had to deal with all the whites. The night king is smart, why didnt he order the whites to walk across the ice because he would be able to tell that the water had froze over again.
The Walking Dead: Stradivarius (2018)
My thoughts of the episode may change this.
Havent even seen the episode yet but im giving it a 10 anyway for the trolls giving it a 1 when it isnt on t.v. yet.
Once again a great episode, 7 in a row it could be the best season. This is less of a filler episode and more of a build up imo. Abe's directing his first episode and he did a good job I think.
Eugene is missing and Rosita is terrified, She alerts Jesus and Aaron with a flare but before that they have a fun fight. Its explained that Maggie is with Georgie helping other communities, Daryl now has a dog, Carol and Henry visit him and we get some nice walker action and gore.
The main focus is Michonne getting Magna and her group to Hilltop that is now being ran by Jesus and Tara. We also get some nice walker action with them including head stomps, sling shots and lots of emotion and we get a creepy camera angle of someone watching them from the woods.....
Spooky!
The episode ends with Daryl, Aaron, Jesus and the Dog heading out to look for Eugene, A nice set up and overall another great episode and the mid season finale looks to be scary and awesome.
The Walking Dead (2010)
Amazing!
Don't let the title of this show confuse you because its less about the dead and more about the survivors, led by Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) as he joins a group of surviours in bid to find a safe haven where the dead and alive are not a threat.
The group take shelter in a quarry, a farm, a prison and a big community known as Alexandria. Everytime they are put up against some big bad like Negan, a guy that bashes peoples brains in with a barbed wired baseball bat or a giant heard of walkers (zombies) trying to knock down the walls of the camp.
The show is very gory, the humans are brutal slaughtering each other. The walkers are disgusting, as time passes they slowly decay getting grosser.
Its very dramatic, lots of death and loss. Nobody is safe, main characters can die at any moment.
S1-S6 is some of the best tv I've seen (Up there with Game Of Thrones and Breaking Bad) S7 and 8 are okay and S9 might be better than every other season.
Whatever people are telling you, dont listen to them and see for yourself because your missing out on some great TV.
American Horror Story: Afterbirth (2011)
Wtf?
It took me 7 years to sit down and start watching this show, I've just finished season 1 and plan to binge the rest and I was really enjoying it. The finale feels different, a new vibe which I dont like and it feels very messy. Out of all the episodes of this season, the finale is the worst.
The Walking Dead: Who Are You Now? (2018)
WHERE ARE THEY!
Episode 6 takes place about 5 years after episode 5 and its once again refreshing. I dont think the walking dead has ever managed to have 6 episodes straight were it has been really good.
Eugene now kills walkers, Carol and Ezekiel are married, Henry is not annoying, Magna and the new group are badass, Negan is now a nice guy, a Richonne baby happened, Gabe and Rosita are now a couple, Daryl is living in the woods, Judith is a badass and the whisperers have been introduced.
The ending was the best part, Eugene and Rosita cover themselves in mud and hide in fear as talking walkers go by only they aint all walkers and this show feels like its gunna be scary.
Oh, and I forgot Carol going savage on the saviours, this show isnt messing around.
The Predator (2018)
A gory comedy (not horror) film
The plot starts off serious, a guy assassinating targets but then a predators ship crashes nearby, the guys squad gets picked off and he flees before he is next.
Not longer after he is thrown on a bus with a bunch of crazy people, the predator is injured and is taken in for tests before it escapes killing everyone in the building and is after his prized precession, his arm thingy majiggy 😂😂
The guys son has this and the predator is after him so the guy and loonies are trying to take him down and is wreaks havoc all over town.
Their is only one slightly scary scene, the rest if just over the top gore which I like and the rest is just your mam jokes.
Halloween (2018)
A sequel worthy of the originals title
The halloween franchise is quite bizarre with a trilogy about Myers' origin story and that almost ended the series, Busta Rhymes doing Kung-Fu, a movie in the franchise completely out of place and not related to the story and redneck reboots but this is a true sequel everyone wants following up from the original, a horror masterpiece.
40 years after the events of 78, Laurie, the final girl from all these years is prepared to face the horrors of Michael if he ever showed. She lives in a booby trapped house, owns a lot of guns, dealing with a traumatic aftermath and isnt even recognised by her own family who have sorta wiped her out from existence.
Michael breaks out from a transfer and is back to slashing the residents of Haddonfield. He is scary, the suspense from the original is back. He is brutal, kills everyone that gets in his way with quite a lot of gore. He is ruthless, his first victim he kills is a 12 year old boy.
You feel sorry for a lot of his victims, you dont know what he will do because he goes after random people, he smashes an old womans head in with a hammer for no reason.
Its gory, scary, emotional and has a bit of comedy on the side due to Danny McBride as one of the writers and it works well
10/10
The Walking Dead: TS-19 (2010)
No horror needed
This season started great, the middle was great and so was the ending.
Its very dramatic and no walkers, no scares and no horror was needed for this to happen.
The plot is that Rick and the group make it into the CDC and meet Dr Edwin Jenner, thw guy working on a cure. There is hot water, electricity, heating, lots of food and wine and its safe from the world outside.
Its revealed that Jenners wife, Candice is the walker he was testing on and that he plans on killing himself by blowing up the building. Once the group are in, the doors stay shut and they are trapped too so the last 20 mins is tense wondering how they will get out.
Its also revealed that Shane did indeed try to save Rick as the outbreak was happening but couldnt due to soliders excuting all the people in the hospital.
The acting is spot on, theirs some unexpected moments and emotion all throughout.
The Walking Dead: The Obliged (2018)
Wow!
I've been loving this season so much and this episode blew me away, wasn't expecting all this to go down. Definitely the best in the season so far and one of the best of the whole show.
The plot is basically Rick trying to prevent Maggie from going to Alexandria, Daryl helps but its revealed hes with Maggie and they end up fighting off walkers in a big mud pit.
Michonne gets some nice walker slaying kills and some dialogue with like before in episode 2, a much better written Negan.
A tense scene takes place with Carol and the saviours who cant live by Ricks rule, aka Jed and a few others when they steal Aldens gun leading a big here towards them. Rick deals with this herd only to get surrounded by walkers, startling his horse and Rick is thrown, impaled on a large piece of rebar as the herd approaches him.
This is what a cliffhanger should be.....
Not the s6 finale 😂😂
The Walking Dead: Days Gone Bye (2010)
Great Opening To A Great Show!
So this is a show about zombies but the zombies are not called zombies, the end of civilization, what it takes to survive the world with nothing but the dead roaming the earth and this pilot episode delivers.
It's gory, emotional and action packed all into one, like most episodes of this show.
The plot is simple, a sheriff's deputy, Rick Grimes is shot during a shootout and falls into a coma, he awakens to find the world different to how he knew it. His family is missing, the whole town is deserted and the world as a whole gone with nothing but walkers (zombies) lurking around at every corner.
He meets a man named Morgan and his son Duane who teach him what he has missed since the coma and they part ways as Rick hunts for his wife and son, he finds a horse and rides into a city only to get trapped in a tank surrounded by hundreds of walkers.
10/10 - This pilot is one of the best pilots put to screen and this series as a whole is fantastic, some of the best of TV.
The Walking Dead: Warning Signs (2018)
This might be my favourite season
In the last episode I forgot to mention about Maggie still waiting for the ethanol and that people were dissapearing, this episode covers that in a nice, mystery twist.
This is a slower epsiode but might be my favourite so far because of the twist at the end, it starts with some walkers eating a person and that person is revealed to be justin who was stabbed off screen.
Maggie gets stopped by a group of saviours on the way to the sanctuary looking for justin and they soon find him as a walker, this causes a lot of conflict between the communities but rick rides in just in time. Rick and Daryl have a little talk about Justin's death that is impactful and has some great call backs (Its also great dialogue). In this scene we also see that if the saviours don't get weapons to protect themselves they will leave so later in the episode, Rick and Carol deal with Jed and Dj.
Maggie finds that Arat is missing so groups split up searching for her. Rick talks to Gabriel about not trusting Anne so Gabriel looks into it and we discovers some helicopter news, Anne has been communicating to the helicopter for some time and has been trading people for supplies with them, wonder what happened to Heath? hmmmm.......
Daryl and Maggie discover it was Oceanside killing the saviours because Justin killed Bee's husband and Arat killed Cyndies little brother, Daryl and Maggie allow them to kill her and Maggie decides its time to visit Negan.
9/10
The Walking Dead: The Bridge (2018)
It's getting better!
I enjoyed the premiere and this is better, the premiere seemed slowish and then built up to and awesome, dark end. This episode does the same with a much faster pace.
The episode title 'The Bridge' gives away a big hint about what the episode is about, the last episode had a mini plot line showing a bridge destroyed by the storm and this episode focuses on that.
Their is a much smaller time jump of a month, the saviours are working with Alexandria, Hilltop and The Kingdom to repair the bridge and some haven't adapted to the lifestyle of not being under Negan's rule, an example of this is a saviour named Justin. Justin pushes Henry over and him and daryl have a fight as well as Aaron and another saviour named Jed.
Rosita, Arat and Jerry have the job of keeping a herd of walkers away from the log site using horns and dynamite. Someone else on the job doesnt signal the herd sending them into the log site.
The saviour, Jed flees causing a log to crush Aarons arm and Daryl saves him until rick and ths crew show up to do what they do best, slaughter walkers and in a gruesome way too.
Aarons arm is amputated, Daryl discovers it was Justin and beats him up again, Rick then threatens him and makes him leave and Rick heads back to Alexandria to talk to Negan in his cell
Justin is then attacked by an unknown person.
9/10
The Walking Dead: A New Beginning (2018)
It's Back!
I would first of all like to say that most of the bad writing is completely gone, their is only one stupid decision in this episode and its when a guy named Ken is bit trying to save a horse. It's not to bad though as some people would have done the same thing and the way he actually died was unexpected.
The plot is that after a year and half time jump, Rick and the three communities are rebuilding civilization. The first 20 minutes is focused on a trip to a museum in DC as they search for some farming equipment and a carriage for the horses, Theirs a horrifying moment including Sidiq and a cool action sequence involving walkers and a glass floor.
Then we see the trip back home in which Ken dies after being kicked by a horse at the same time as being bit by a walker so he got overkilled, we are supposed to feel sorry for this character as he is the main focus of the episode but it doesnt really work as we have only known him for 25 minutes.
Their is a small plot involving a bridge that is destroyed due to a storm but that will be focused on in the next episode.
The final 20 minutes is focused on the death of Ken and his parents who now dislike Maggie for a leader, Gregory still doesnt like the fact he isnt in charge so he uses Ken's death as an advantage for him taking charge. Ken's dad, Earl used to be an alcoholic so Gregory gets him drunk and makes him attack Maggie, This doesn't work and Maggie finds out which leads to the episode ending with Gregory being hanged.
Overall, The Walking Dead feels back to its roots giving off Season 1 vibes. Characters like Daryl and Enid now have a role, Daryl runs the sanctuary and Enid is training to be a doctor with the help of Sidiq. The dialogue is not cheesy, realisitc and everyone including Daryl is talking clear, their isnt any grunts.
Also the plot is no longer finding a safe haven, dealing with a bad guy and forced to leave, all the characters, especially Rick, Daryl and Maggie are dealing with conflict.
