Sing Me a Song: Review for The Walking Dead 707

RC Murphy — Sun, 18 Dec 2016 00:27:45 +0000

I could rant and rave for a while about another unnecessarily long episode. That's a song and dance I'm really tired of performing on a weekly basis. We get it, you can do what you want. Guess what? Fans aren't impressed. More and more fall to the wayside as the production team fails to deliver a full episode with enough oomph to keep viewers in their seats instead of pausing it and wandering off to do laundry. Give us forty-five solid minutes. Quit padding the episode to make up for the lack of tension. Quantity doesn't equate quality. Something showrunners have yet to learn the last two seasons.

Review: Buried Deep

RC Murphy — Wed, 03 Apr 2013 12:00:15 +0000

Weeks and weeks of well-written, tension-building episodes brought us to this week’s explosive conclusion. The problem? The only explosion came from a round of unnecessary shooting and grenade launching. Emotionally the episode was a bit of a letdown. There were far too many plot lines left dangling, with no tension to carry them over into the new season. The only thing we were left to look forward to was a potential emotional downslide for Carl, of all characters. Let’s see what went down in the season three finale of “The Walking Dead.”

Parlay and Promises: A Review of The Walking Dead 313

RC Murphy — Wed, 13 Mar 2013 12:00:34 +0000

Occasionally, the non-stop action of a show has to take a backseat in order to allow characters a chance to build toward something spectacular, like the epic clash on the horizon between Rick’s group and the people of Woodbury.

Buried in the Trenches

RC Murphy — Wed, 06 Mar 2013 13:00:21 +0000

Talk about jerking on our heartstrings. This episode was chalk-full of teary moments. We really need a warning before the episode airs, along with the violence warnings, telling us to grab a box of Kleenex before emotional episodes. For the first time since Rick’s group arrived at the prison, the entire episode took place outside the prison gates nor on the streets of Woodbury. Most notably, there were only four main characters involved. However, the ghosts of many others lingered at the edge of every conversation taking place.

One Foot In Front Of The Other

RC Murphy — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 12:00:41 +0000

This episode in particular had a lot of anticipation built up around it long before it aired. Heck, people were excited back before filming began and producers confirmed what the main story arc of the third season would be. Fans were anxious to meet the Governor and see Woodbury outside of the confines of paper and ink. Not to mention, watch an entire episode devoted to Michonne and Andrea. Oh and there was a certain returning character fans begged and pleaded to have back on The Walking Dead. We’ll get to them later.

Down With The Sickness

RC Murphy — Wed, 24 Oct 2012 12:00:25 +0000

Sometimes—not often, but sometimes—the pacing of a show is slow enough to seem as though nothing really happened in the course of an episode. We love The Walking Dead at the ZSC. Namely, we love to yell at the screen while watching and flail in frustration when we see the characters do things we know are wrong. This week there wasn’t quite as much yelling.

Salting The Earth

RC Murphy — Wed, 17 Oct 2012 12:00:48 +0000

October is finally here. For some of you, you won’t understand the huge breath of relief some of us took on Sunday night when we curled up on the couch and tuned into AMC at nine o’clock. Okay, relief may not quite be the right word, given the amount of bloodshed in the season premiere of The Walking Dead, but you get the gist. No more counting down days. No more stalking websites for behind-the-scenes interviews and pictures. The time has come to catch up with Rick, Daryl, T-Dog, Andrea, and the other survivors on the show.

Team Grimes…protecting family

Juliette Terzieff — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 13:00:37 +0000

Their love for each other is matched only by their drive to survive. While both Lori and Carl lack the survival, weapons and hunting training of those around them, they remain locked in a fierce battle against the zombiepocalypse to protect that which matters most—the human family.

Slaughterhouse Rules

RC Murphy — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 13:00:31 +0000

The mid-season finale for season 2 of The Walking Dead had a lot riding on it. I’m not talking about character drama, either. This first half of the season needed to live up to audience’s expectations. We were given a grab-you-by-the-throat first season of TWD. With only six episodes to make an impact, the creators and writers drove the plot and us hard, fast, and dirty. The pacing became a huge part of the appeal. With more episodes to play with, the pacing has suffered greatly. And unfortunately, it is turning people away. Episode 7 had to snag viewers attention again before the break. Did it succeed?
