Everyone on The Walking Dead Is Breaking the Rules

The Walking Dead veers so wildly between good and bad, it’s actually sort of refreshing when an episode is simply fine. Tonight’s episode was exactly that: We got intriguing new info on the show’s very interesting new villains, we saw Michonne take all episode to make an important choice, we got a subplot that couldn’t…

The Walking Dead Just Raised 2 Powerful, Interesting Questions About Its World

The latest episode of The Walking Dead, “Bounty,” focused on two stories, each with its own burning question. One question was very serious. The other, less so, but no less interesting to think about in a world of zombies and death. And, thankfully, the latter brought back some of the series’ best characters, who’d been…

The Next Great Walking Dead Villain Is Here, and She Wants to Kill Civilization

After almost nine seasons, it’s pretty rare for a brand new character to get their very own episode of The Walking Dead and yet that’s exactly what happened Sunday night. The episode, called “Omega,” introduced Samantha Morton as Alpha, the eventual leader of the Whisperers and mother to Lydia, the young woman Daryl and Michonne captured…

The New Villains on The Walking Dead Elevate Everything Around Them

Holy crap, what have I been missing? The Walking Dead is back but, unfortunately, your regular recapper is not. Rob Bricken wasn’t able to recap this week so I’m filling in as the io9 staff member who quit The Walking Dead most recently. That being, about two seasons ago. So my apologies up front if…

The Walking Dead Did Something So Crazy I Can’t Believe It

Guys? Guys. I barely know what to say about tonight’s The Walking Dead, which was highly touted as Andrew Lincoln’s final episode, but ended up being much, much more. I fully expect this episode to be very divisive, but I loved it. Call it bold, crazy, stupid, fantastic, infuriating, whatever—I can’t remember the last time…

Attention: The Walking Dead Has Been Genuinely Good for Four Episodes in a Row

I’ve tried to be patient, to reserve my judgment, because I’ve been burned before. I’ve been very afraid that season nine’s streak of good episodes was an anomaly, or just seemed better since the Negan War was safely behind us. Four episodes in—25 percent of the entire season—and The Walking Dead hasn’t been bad at…

The Walking Dead Didn’t Earn Its Season Finale in the Slightest

I don’t think I’ve ever watched a more self-satisfied, obnoxious episode of television in my life. But what’s even more obnoxious is that the season eight finale of The Walking Dead was still gratifying to me, too, if only because it looks like it finally got the AMC show back on the right track (…maybe).…

Important Announcement: The Walking Dead Was Actually Fine Last Night

No, seriously. I know it may sound impossible after this deeply troubled second-half of season eight, but The Walking Dead pulled off an episode that had no major issues and was pretty compelling because it actually advanced a lot of storylines while also setting up some major stakes for the season finale. See, Walking Dead…

Either Rick or The Walking Dead Needs to Die

After last week’s episode of silent zombies and fences that couldn’t be shot through, I was determined to go into this week’s episode of The Walking Dead with an open mind. I wanted to look for the good, I really did. Instead, I got a brutal, nihilistic reminder of the show’s most fundamental problem: Rick…

Last Night’s The Walking Dead Was So Stupid I Can’t Stand It

This is why we can’t have nice things. Where to even begin? I’ll start with one tragic fact: I had to watch this episode twice. As a Super Important Walking Dead Reviewer, I get screeners of the show so I don’t necessarily have to write these recaps between 10:00 pm-1:00 am on Sunday nights. But…

A Miracle Happened on The Walking Dead, But Does It Matter?

If you felt The Walking Dead had been spinning its gore-covered wheels for the last several seasons, well, last night’s episode introduced something that is truly new. It’s arguably the most important moment since Negan and the Saviors swaggered onto the scene, if not before. But since this is The Walking Dead, I have to…

God Guest-Starred on a Very Special Episode of The Walking Dead

Now that we’ve been reminded yet again Rick is the worst, it’s time for The Walking Dead to start moving its game pieces in preparation for Protagonists vs. the Saviors round… oh, let’s say four. So “Dead or Alive or” is a bit of a check-in, a bit of re-arranging, and even a bit of…

That Was a Truly Infuriating Episode of The Walking Dead

Lessons are immediately forgotten. Trips are wasted. Obviously poor decisions are made. Hell, Jadis, Queen of the Garbage People, somehow became the episode’s most sympathetic character. When that happens, you know your Walking Dead episode has major, major problems. Ugh. Let’s just… let’s just get into it. The episode is divided into chapters based on…

The Walking Dead‘s Mid-Season Premiere Was Pretty Good Despite Itself

The world’s pre-eminent source of zombie entertainment has never exactly been afraid of shooting itself in the foot now and again. It’s like the show has some sort of crippling self-esteem issues, and can’t help sabotaging itself. But this episode in particular felt like The Walking Dead wanted to offer us a delicious cookie, but…

The Walking Dead proves that zombies make family reunions extremely awkward

On tonight’s episode of The Walking Dead (“Tell It To The Frogs”) a confused reunion transpired, we met more survivors, people lost their minds, and Rick played hero. All in all, just a normal day at the end of civilization. PRO: Merle: Portrait of a Lunatic Hillbilly. The episode picks up exactly where the last…

The Walking Dead is ravenously good horror television

The Frank Darabont-directed series premiere of Robert Kirkman’s The Walking Dead debuted tonight on AMC. This opening episode was a solid addition to the undead canon, and the show makes an excellent case for adapting serialized comics for television. Note: Given that this is a recap, it contains spoilers. As we noted in our spoiler-free…
