The Walking Dead Mid-Season 3 Wrap Up – Watching Dead
Hey everybody! It’s been a break neck, take no prisoners, pedal to the metal, Lori-killing kind of season so far. Can The Walking Dead keep it up in season 3.5? Who will live, who will die? Where does Team Prison and Team Woodbury go next? Listen to Jim, A.Ron, and a few dozen fellow TWD fans opine on our mid-season finale cast!
Also, Jason over at The Walking Dead ‘Cast invited me to co-interview Sang Kyu Kim, the writer of episode 304, “The Killer Within”. The interview should be up sometime soon, I’ll drop a note on Facebook and Twitter when it does. Thanks again to Jason and Karen for being such gracious hosts!

307 – “When the Dead Come Knocking” – The Watching Dead
The Walking Dead hits a home run this week with the very solid episode 307, “When the Dead Come Knocking”. About the only turd in the punch this week was the lunatic in the cabin, and who’s to say the turd didn’t add a touch of savory piquancy that elevated the episode as a whole? I do, actually. That’s who. That part was straight up horseshit.
But just like The Walking Dead wouldn’t be The Walking Dead if there wasn’t something WTF worthy each week, our podcast wouldn’t be our podcast if we had nothing to bitch about. Oh. And Poindexter’s science experiment. That was goofy too. Oh god, I can feel the Waldorf coming over me. Anyway, the good stuff was very good. Getting the Ricktatorship and Woodbury all involved, a fairly touching scene involving Carol, gut wrenching torture involving Glenn and Maggie, hair raising, tension setting music, and excellent pacing sets us up for one epic mid-season finale next week.
We discuss all this, some news, your feedback, and the return of megawatt, radioactive, depleted uranium spoilers in the spoiler section. Enjoy, and we’ll see you next week!

306 – “Hounded” – The Walking Dead
I’m sick this week so the update’s are going to be a little barebones. But we soldiered on through the podcast. Jim and I were kind of down on this episode, which we felt had a high silly shit to awesome ratio. Some of the stand out great scenes were, anything with Rick and a telephone, anything with Rick and Herschel, and stop me if you’ve heard this one, any thing with Daryl. All this, your feedback, a healthy spoiler section, and lots of random coughs and sneezes courtesy of yours truly. Hopefully both my sinus cavities and the show itself will bounce back next week!

305 – “Say The Word” – The Watching Dead
This episode is CRAZY! Literally crazy. Like, Rick and the Governor try to out crazy each other in the Crazy Olympics, and Rick wins by a phone call. Join us as we discuss this and zombie stuffing, Carol’s sham grave, Daryl’s hard core panty dropping abilities, Michonne revealing her softer side (well, she did smile), and much more.
Note: The spoiler section this week contains high-octane, no-shit spoilers for this weekend’s episode. Do not listen past the spoiler music unless you want to completely spoil Sunday’s show.

304 – “The Killer Within” – The Watching Dead
It’s fiesta time! I hope you got your salsa, your chips, your margaritas, your Dos Equis and whatever the hell else you need to celebrate the death of Lori Grimes, because The Walking Dead did it’s level best to make sure we’d have a hard time enjoying it. But what the hell, right? In for a penny, in for a pound, and can a well acted, noble death by ceasarean really make up for 2 seasons of horrible writing?
Poor taste in celebrating the brutal death of a mother aside, Lori’s gone, T-Dog’s gone, and our band of survivors will never be the same. Join us for a complete breakdown of episode 304, “The Killer Within”, including feedback from our awesome fans and as always, our coverage of spoilers and comic theories in our spoiler section.

303 – “Walk With Me” – Watching Dead
This week’s episode of AMC’s The Walking Dead finally introduced us to the long awaited character of the Governor, capably played by distinguished actor Liam Neeson. An interesting choice to let him roll with his Scottish brogue, but you know what? I think it works.
Other points of interest include Michonne’s epic, episode long stink eye, zombie science, the Return of Merle, Andrea making mooney eyes at Liam, Chris Hardwick being force by AMC to be an annoying asshole, and the resurrection of Jim’s Dead Man’s Brew.

302 – “Sick” – Watching Dead
This episode, which is The Walking Dead Season Three Episode Two, just about killed me. Up until the last fifteen minutes, I was as pissed as I’ve ever been watching any TV show, ever. And then… they totally redeemed themselves.
Join us as we discuss Vatos Part 2: Vatos Harder, crappy neck tattoos, freezers that should remain unopened, Lori’s Apology Tour, the questionable wisdom of CPR in a zombie apocalypse scenario, shivving zombies, and Attica on speed, man.

301 – “Seed” – Watching Dead
The Walking Dead is back with a vengeance and so are we! Jim and A.Ron barrel through the premier episode of season three, “Seed”, like a pumped up T-Dog with a riot shield. Join us as we discuss wordless intros, innovative use of carabiners, homemade silencers, zombie babies, a Grimes centipede (yeah, you heard me), Carl Jr’s quest for first base, and much much more.
If you want to check out the short film I reference in the podcast about a penguin suit wearing zombie protagonist, check it out. And Jim and A.Ron both recommend you check out the book, “Dust”, but Joan Frances Turner. It’s one of the most unique takes on the zombie genre we’ve ever seen.
