Even before its 2022 finale, the world of AMC’s The Walking Dead was expanding. Fear the Walking Dead kicked off the spinoff trend, and shows like Daryl Dixon, World Beyond, Dead City, and Tales of the Walking Dead followed. Now, the most highly anticipated of those shows, The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live, is set to debut, and with it, the show’s producer has teased something that sounds awfully familiar.You Should Really Watch The Last of UsThe Ones Who Live, which premieres February 25, brings back original main…

A new international trailer for Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom gives us new footage. The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon expands its cast for season 2. Plus, what’s to come on Rick and Morty and Fear the Walking Dead’s final episodes.

Photo: Emmanuel Guimier/AMCWe’ve already had a small tease of the more-than-slightly anticipated Walking Dead spin-off so imaginatively titled Daryl Dixon, where the eponymous hero can be seen floating unconscious on a boat in what is presumably the Atlantic ocean on his way to France. Now, AMC has released a two-minute preview... and if you were hoping for more details, this isn’t going to do much for you. But at least it’s easy on the eyes!Stay in Your Seats, It's Gonna Be a Bumpy Flight | Extreme EarthThe preview is…

Photo: Emmanuel Guimier/AMCThe Walking Dead spin-off Daryl Dixon begins in a rather unexpected way: Daryl, who was very much in America the last time we saw him on TWD proper, washing ashore on the coast of France without any idea of how he got there. It’s a bananas premise, but it’s also an incredibly intriguing one—how on Earth could he get there and not remember? Who transported him, and why? Unfortunately, I would be shocked if Daryl Dixon had answers to either question.It’s a problem other shows have had before: they…

Photo: Jace Downs/AMCFriends, zombies, countrymen, lend me your ears! I have come to bury The Walking Dead, not to praise it. I haven’t come to trash-talk it either, actually. But it feels important to note that the zombified version of TWD that has been shambling around our TV screens for years has had its skull crushed and its brains pulverized. You know, metaphorically speaking. I have frighteningly little to say about “Rest in Peace,” given that it was a super-sized episode meant to close an 11-season run of what used…

Photo: Jace Downs/AMCWell, it’s taken a while, but The Walking Dead seems to be getting on track. In tonight’s episode, it choo-choo-choosesto gather its characters (well, most of them) for a single, coherent plotline that will lead directly to the final conflict with the Commonwealth. One could even say the show is running at full steam toward the end. Did I mention a train was in this episode?All that positivity aside, if you look at the individual scenes of “Outpost 22,” it’s kind of a mess. There’s a lot of dead…

Photo: Jace Downs/AMCGood news, Walking Dead fans—er, people who have been watching the show so long that they feel compelled to watch it until the end, regardless of how much pleasure they may or may not be getting fromit! Pamela Milton has finally declared war on all the people who have made her cushy life difficult since their arrival, and things may finally start to be picking up. A bit.“What’s Been Lost” is a fairly straightforward episode of TWD, but straightforward is a direction, which means the long-simmering…

Image: ParamountOutside of a few strong highs, Lower Decks’ third season has largely felt like a bit of a regression, with characters re-treading familiar arcs with little rhyme or reason. It’s perhaps fitting then, that as the season draws to a close, it sets the stage for a conflict the show already covered—except this time there might be a few more consequences, if we’re lucky.The catalyst for character chaos in “Trusted Sources” comesin the form of an arriving journalist, Victoria Nuzé from the Federation News…

Photo: Jace Downs/AMCWhat the hell was that?I have been trying to process my feelings about tonight’s episode of The Walking Dead, which feels like it was written by three different writers who not only didn’t read each other’s scripts but also hated each other. So in terms of feelings about it, the best I can come up with is “perplexed.”“The New Deal” is another confusing mess like last week’s part-three premiere, but it’s also more boring—almost impressively so, given there are only six episodes left in the series. Most…

Image: Jace Downs/HBOEzekiel is a nicer, more likable, and less murderous character than Aaron, but he’s an absolute goner. Why? Well, we’ve spent a long time believing he was about to die already, thanks to his throat cancer. Now that it’s been cured, killing Ezekiel would not only be tragic, it would be ironically tragic, and give Carol some pathos as they had a longtime romance. It feels very TWD to kill a character with a new lease on life, so go ahead and say goodbye. Image: Jace Downs/HBOEzekiel is a nicer, more…
