High Points

  • CANNIBALS FINALLY!!!

  • Exciting action and gore
  • You are the butcher or you are the cattle
  • Judith becomes the hostage

  • Eugene and Abraham are spot on
  • The gang's emotional reunion
  • Robin Lord Taylor  (Penguin) throat slit
  • No Beth and no singing
  • MORGAN REVEAL!

Being a pledge sucks. #Clench
Low Points

  • Freeing "We are the same!" Jesus Guy (Heavy Handed)
  • Confusing time jumps
  • Not enough Michonne or Daryl
  • Quickly back to status quo

Verdict: 5 seasons in and I have finally accepted that The Walking Dead may never truly follow the comics. That being said I extremely enjoyed this premiere episode of the zombie survival series. The escape from Terminus brought tension, action, gore, and even fireworks. This show is at it's best when the group is in conflict with other humans because those situations bring up the moral dilemmas of living in a zombie ridden world. Particularly the scenes between the Terminus hostage and Tyrese were quite compelling. Can you be a good person in a world that consistently calls for extreme action? In this single case yes, but that is the ever lingering of the show and it was on full display in those scenes. Carol's character has really grown on me and her helping the group escape was exciting and a perfect bridge to bring her back in the fold. I'm happy to be rid of Terminus this quick, but fear it will lead to more "just walking around". Screw the "walking around" status quo let the story move on to the trip to Washington DC. Overall I give the premiere episode 8.5 out of 10. Great episode and start to the season.

Rick Grimes' "CARL" Counter: Sadly Rick only said Carl one time. But at least there was no Beth!

Maria Hill Returning To Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

HAIL HYDRA! If you ain't casually dropping Hail Hydra in every conversation you have, you ain't life right cause the world's coolest evil organization has gone and taken over pop culture. Thanks to them, S.H.I.E.L.D. has been destroyed. HYDRA agents had infiltrated their ranks and Captain America was forced to put a stop to the whole agency. This meant disaster for ABC's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., a show that is based upon the spy agency, which now no longer exists. The agents are now finding Hydra traitors in the midst, its a full out Uprising ! I bet you that son of a bitch Patton Oswald is Hydra and Coulson's cellist girlfriend too. Well any-who, Agent Maria Hill played by Cobie Smulders (How I Met Your Mother) will be returning to the show on 4/29 to help Coulson and his band of misfits fight the traitors. May Hydra have mercy on their souls. Watch Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. on Tuesdays at 8pm on ABC.

Patton Oswalt Coming to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Comicbookmovie.com has reported that Patton Oswalt (Ratatouille) will be bringing his comedic style to Clark Gregg's neck of the woods. Oswalt will be playing Agent Eric Koenig. That is all we know. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. continues to add guest stars to try to improve its ratings. First it was Bill Paxton, then Jamie Alexander, and now Patton Oswalt. I'm not gonna lie in saying that I really don't give a shit. This is a Marvel superhero show without any superheroes. It would be like if DC did an A.R.G.U.S. (DC's ripoff agency) show. I can't wait until Marvel releases its Defenders series on Netflix and I can binge watch Matt Murdock adventures instead of decieding who I want to be killed off first Fitz or Simmons. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. airs on Tuesdays at 8 pm on ABC.
