Better Than the Oscars... Review: The Walking Dead - "I Ain't a Judas" 3

“I Ain’t a Judas” doesn’t pull any punches. You get the guts and gore with no apologies. We’ve seen some gross stuff on The Walking Dead and I’m not sure how the show can top the two scenes forever burned into my mind after this hour of dramatic television.

Not Jeremy! Say It Ain’t So! Review: The Vampire Diaries – “Stand By Me” 6

The pitying stares and whispered conversations are what seal the deal for me on “Stand by Me.” This is such a depressing episode because you know where it’s going to go and why. My heart breaks, and I have to commend all the actors for digging deep and putting a face to devastating grief.

The Walking Dead is back. I’ve missed the drama, the zombies and the lunatics marauding as men of character. But what does the title mean in reference to the characters?

“This Bird Has Flown” is enjoyable, but not the best Justified has to offer. I’m waiting for the time Raylan will draw on someone and shoot them down like he used to. What happened to the modern-day gunslinger? I’d like him back about now.

TWCS Blog Tour Stop! Book Review: "The End of All Things" by Lissa Bryan 21

The End of All Things is overly far-fetched in its trip-down-the-yellow-brick-road approach to an apocalypse for my tastes. I can’t recommend this for any reason other than a paper weight. And no, I won’t be reading the follow-up.

A Woman Scorned and All That Jazz... Review: The Vampire Diaries "After School Special" 23

Overall, “After School Special” is enjoyable. Moral of the episode: don’t mess with Original vampires. Having Rebekah around spices things up a bit and that’s never a bad thing. And I can’t forget the awesomeness that is Klaus.

As a debut novel, it leaves me wondering how the author will perfect her craft and what other stories she has yet to tell.
