TWD: Heads Up

Rick and company returns this week in Heads Up.  From IMBD:  Alexandria is finally able to begin pulling itself back together; peace is embraced between the two groups.  What does that mean? Between two groups?  What groups?  Wolves?  Someone new?  Who knows!  Lets go find out!

• Glenn?
• This is a big fuck you to the fans man, total bullshit!
• Enid, the Wolf, is back too?  Not liking this episode at all
• Good thing there isn't a shit ton of walkers around.  Be as loud as you want Glenn
• Yeah Rick, you're plans have worked out well for you
• Looking like Lori...and Shane
• Wow Rick, you're kind of an asshole you know.  Had Deanna listened to Gabriel people would still be alive
• SHUT UP CARL!
• Again...SHUT UP CARL and take off that stupid fucking hat
• Burned people alive?
• Blood does not equal death Rick, too bad everyone doesn't believe that "all life is precious"
• They are really using the Dead to push Badlands
• Yeah, it worked well before guys
• Is the church going to fall and let the dead in?
• Need to have more Eugene!
• Rosita is all grown up!  She is hardly the little kid on Ned Bigsby School Survival Guide
• How are there not more walkers around?
• Flight of the Dead...and they found a bite.  Zombies on a plane would SUCK! 
• When did Glenn become a badass?
• ENID BURN!
• So they are starting to break through that area and they then POUND on the that section?  YOU'RE AN IDOIT RICK!
• Why leave the tank in the shrubs where you could get snuck up on?
• Ronnie getting bullets is not a good thing!
• That is a lot of walkers
• Well Tara just did what more people should be doing to Rick.  A big FUCK YOU
• How great is Morgan?
• There is nosey Carol at it again, and lets take a baby along
• Carol is going to Sam into the next crazy Lizzie
• Is Ronnie going to kill Carl?
• What is with the church and shit?
• There is your sign Maggie
• The end of Alexandra!

First off let me say that Glenn being alive is bullshit.  The backlash could be bad.  You can't mess with fans emotions like that.  It'll be interesting to see how respond.

I am really interested in next week.  The wall falls, Ronnie has a gun, a wolf is still among them.  

Overall a very good episode that showed the town come together just in time for the wall to fall.  I assume last weeks "help" was from Alexandria, maybe Ronnie but it sounded like Aaron to me. Where do they go from here?  Do they rebuild the wall...if anyone survives.  

Until next time, merry Thanksgiving everyone!

Doctor Who: Face the Raven

The Doctor is back in Face the Raven.  Rigsy returns this season and he has run into a bit of bad luck. A death sentence.  We see the return of "Me" aka Ashildr.  I have a bad feeling about this episode.

• No really sure about this kid returning.  He was annoying in the shadow monster episode last week
• We are getting closer and closer to the end of Clara's story...and that makes me sad.  I wonder if the Ood will sing her to sleep
• The sonic glasses are growing on me
• Was that Gallifreyan?  
• I LOVE Clara!
• A trap street...interesting
• Uggg, Ashildr is back?  I don't like her
• JADOON!!
• A Sontaran?  
• The Cyberman AND an Ood?  
• This is the Doctor's fault, he created Ashildr.  
• Ashildr's hair is AWFUL!
• Oh no....Clara....no
• Rigsy is kind of weird looking
• Well that was weird
• Oh no, she now has the key to the TARDIS!
• No, I'm not ready.  I'm not ready for Clara to be gone
• I like this angry Doctor!
• No no no no no!  Sad Clara theme....NO!
• She was suppose to be reunited with Danny!  She was suppose to end up happy with Danny somewhere.
• Goodbye you impossible girl you.  Maybe there is going to be a call from the great governor of the Universe.  There is still a chance.  
• Don't watch Doctor!
• She was brave...is that what the Raven wants.  "They always run" the one said.  Maybe that is the trick, there is always a trick!
• Wait....yes....no!...Goodbye Clara
• RAIN DOWN HELLFIRE AND BRIMSTONE DOCTOR!

Nothing to say here.  She is gone and I am sad.  I am sad that her story ended this way.  I know not every companion can't have a good ending but I didn't want this to be the end of her story.  Rose got her Doctor.  Martha got Mickey.  Donna got her husband.  Amy and Rory lived together till the end. Clara, she got this.  

Also I hate Doctor Who because it makes me have feelings for fictional characters...of course I love the show for the same reason.  I had heard the rumors of it not being a happy ending for Clara but I had hope.  That it was a lie.  But it wasn't.  I am now sad.  

This is a very sad fat man signing off.  Goodbye Clara!

The Walking Dead: Always Accountable review

The Walking Dead returns this week with Always Accountable.  After being attacked by a new group and separated, Sasha and Abraham must search for an injured Daryl who may be in trouble.  We have a few more episodes before the Christmas break so I doubt we find out about Glenn.  My guess it will be before the break but that is just a guess.  I think that is still the big question, where/what is Glenn. My guess is that he is a walker at this point.  But enough of that, it is time to get to this weeks episode!

• How does this plan work?  Why won't they just keep following the sound?  
• Wolves?
• And Daryl falls next
• Looks like a little bit of Road Rash there Daryl
• Those aren't Wolves I don't think
• Yeah the end of the world is going to suck for Diabetics
• Interesting that Sasha is being the smart one
• I'm worried for Abraham in this episode suddenly
• And I just jumped a bit
• "Loose ends make my ass itch"
• Wolves?  Negans group?  Someone else?
• Guess it is better then turning
• How is ANYTHING left after all these years?
• Shit...after this speech Abraham is doomed.  
• Wait...Abraham...Rositia...remember
• Human nature is right
• How did they think they weren't walkers? COME ON!
• No good deed goes unpunished
• Help?

Well not a whole lot happened this week did it?  Much like last week the show seems to be slowing down after a hell of a start.  I like it.  Gotta go up and down, like a rollercoaster.  Play it at an 8 then a 3 then a 7 then a 4 then a 10.  

While nothing happened it once again builds toward more.  Leaves more questions then answers and that is good writing.  Excellent acting.  This show is better and better every season as the writers and then actors get a grip on the characters.

Not a lot to say really.  Overall a good episode.  Nothing outstanding, noting horrible.  Good.  That is what they needed after the start of the seasons.  Bringing us back down to a 4 or so.

The question is what is going to bring us back to that 8 or 9 before the season break?  More deaths?  

Doctor Who: Sleep No More review

Good morning, afternoon or evening, whenever it is you're reading me.  Tonight the Doctor and Clara return in Sleep No More.  "Vision recovered from the wreckage of Le Verrier Space Station shows how the Doctor and Clara became entangled in a rescue mission. As the footage plays out, a horrifying secret is uncovered."  I don't know if they can follow up after the Zygon episodes but lets find out shall we!

• The Ring vs. The Doctor?  Watch out for a creepy girl Doctor!
• Oh no, it is more Paranormal Activity meets Doctor Who
• Clara?  Where did Clara and the Doctor come from?
• I love the psychic paper!  Now all we need is the return of the screwdriver
• And the running has started.  8 minutes in...not bad
• Those aren't Zygons that is for sure!
• Wait...how did the pod grab Clara?  
• Is this Back to the Future suddenly?
• I love angry Doctor!
• They mostly come at night....mostly
• Chopra reminds me of the kid from the Satan Pit episodes
• Changes the fundamental chemistry?  Yeah that's not a problem I'm sure
• Sleep dust?  Really?  Well that isn't great
• The song?  Good grief
• Deep sure isn't much of a singer
• Wow those monster costumes aren't much are they?  Throwbacks to the old Doctor Who
• Wait what just happened?  What happened to Rassmussen?  Chopra and 474?  I'm confused
• Sleep isn't an inconvenience it is AWESOME!
• Why haven't they taken a shot yet?  
• The Gods have NOT looked favorably upon these folks
• Sandmen?
• Are they all in the Pods?  OH MY GOD THEY ARE!  Is this the Christmas episode all over again?
• They can't see?  But they found Rassmussen easily didn't they?
• So this is how they write Clara off the show.  Clara the Sandman
• If they aren't in the Pods is Rassmussen the next evolution of the Sandmen?
• I'm back to my theory that they are in the pods
• And I'm once again wrong

Wait...I'm confused!  So did the video get out?  Do we all die in the 38 Century?  Or did the Doctor get down and destroy all the pods before hand?

Well that was a weird episode?  I feel like it was right there in being a good episode but was missing something.  Oh right a coherent plot!  I'm disappointed in Mark Gatiss, the writer, as he is next in line most say to be the next show runner.  But looking back I'm not a fan of most of his episodes.

I didn't like the acting, the random "facts" but not explaining anything that Doctor Who is famous for but good grief there were several in this once.  The plot didn't quite make sense and I feel like they didn't have a proper ending so just left it with this vague bullshit.

After two excellent episodes this was a let down.  But there is always next week right?  Until next time....RUN!

The Walking Dead: Now

The Walking Dead returns this week with "Now".  As Alexandria recovers from the Wolves' attack, Maggie and Aaron set out in the search for Glenn. Meanwhile, the intimacy between Rick and Jessie grows, as the herd approaches.  Wonder if we'll get a resolution to Glenn and Rick?

• Rick?  How'd Rick get out of the RV?  And why run back to town?  Hasn't he killed enough people?
• Yeah Rick start yelling, that'll help matters
• Really Aaron?  Half of them are gone but at what cost?
• Oh no it wasn't your fault Aaron, its the world you live in now
• Oh?  I guess you won't be buried inside the walls Rick, you're a killer
• Spencer you destroyed that place the moment Rick and company entered
• Yeah that wall just got a lot bigger thanks you Aaron and Rick
• These people are crazy!
• Is he drunk or bit?  Drunk
• Wait...its Deanna's fault Spencer?  Maybe you have a point...
• Oh teenagers in the Apocalypse
• Enid is a Wolf boys, accept that
• What is with Carl's hair?
• Wait, the doctor is still alive?
• Great pep talk Tara!
• Just another walker...that went down REALLY easy...wow
• More speeches?  GOOD GRIEF
• Yep, a sewer sounds great.  I mean what could possibly go wrong!
• Talking in the sewer wouldn't attract every walker down there to them...nope not at all
• Now those are some shitty walkers
• Wait...he is leaving Ronnie there?  I wouldn't trust him to guard a cake in a locked fridge
• Oh good grief!  In the Apocalypse Maggie? 
• Where is Aaron's boyfriend?
• Oh poor Sam
• Smile you son of a bitch
• Where is Eugene this week?  And Carol?  And everyone?
• Well Jesse got over her husband fast 
• What the fuck was that?  Blood?

Well this episode was interesting.  Lots of character development and a bit of a let down from last weeks episode in my opinion.  But then again after the first four episodes eventually things are going to slow down a bit.  I know a lot of fans didn't like last week but I really did.  This week was quite different and a good thing.  Gotta keep lowering and then rising the intensity.  You can't have the intensity at 10 every week or there is no point.  Gotta drop it down to a 4 to ramp it back up, that is good story telling.

I want Glenn to be alive now that Maggie is with child.  I think in the preview I saw Glenn....now I'm all "is he alive?  Is he dead?".  Can you really make Maggie yet another single mother?

Okay there we go.  Next week we go back to Daryl and company and I'm interested in seeing what we find out there!
