Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Delayed Walking Dead Liveblogging


Winter Storm Albert makes this delayed.

Pruitt Taylor Vince already paying dividends.  He does earnest decency really well.

Why does the farmhouse have power after the zombie apocalypse and I don't have power after a nor'easter?

Daryl is quickly becoming awesome.

"Maybe this isn't a world for children."  Yeah, good question.  That was one of the stronger points of the graphic novels.

At what point does death become preferable to a constant struggle to survive?  Again, good question.  This is setting up a nice second season.

Shane works better as a realistic action hero.  Most heroes are kind of screwed up and violent.

Oh, Jeebus a kid having a seizure.  That's horror.

Again, Daryl is awesome.

***

Nice to see Glenn get a love interest/side story.

Why does the farm house have power?  Have I asked that already?

What the hell is Dale up to?

Well played Rick.  Yes, there is still beauty in the world.  Even Zombieland.

Hey, Shane?  Fat guy?  Don't waste your bullets.

***

Oh, Otis.  We hardly knew ye.

Show don't tell, people... I know budgets are tough, but...

Where the hell is Sophia?

Yay, someone gave Andrea a gun!

Oh, Dale and Andrea... great sequence.

I don't want to get all Robert Bly here, but there is something about apocalypses that bring out a certain nobility in men.  Maybe that's why there's a persistent demand for those type stories.

I got a little verklempft at the scene with Lori and Shane.  Forgiveness is powerful.

Holy damn, I did not expect THAT ending!  There is your "show don't tell".  Let's see how active volcano Mt. Shane handles THAT.
