[Comic-Con ’13] Steamy New “The Walking Dead” Still Makes Me Rant…

Published

on

One of the greatest tricks in television that locks in a viewer for multiple seasons is a looming romance that’s so uncomfortable it’s actually engaging. Shows like “Frasier”, “The X-Files”, “Castle”, “House”, “Bones”, “Lost”, and even more recently “True Blood” and “Dexter”, have mastered this, teasing the viewer until they are about to burst.

This is only one of the major problems with AMC’s average “The Walking Dead”, which continues into its fourth season this October.

The insanely popular show is taking over the San Diego Comic-Con, beginning today with EW‘s premiere of the following animated gif. The image makes steam blow out of my ears because it reminds me of one of the major reasons the show rubs me the wrong way – I know that in the Image comic, created by Robert Kirkman, Glenn (Steven Yeun) and Maggie (Lauren Cohan) hook up quite early, but in a television series it’s something that should be treated much more precious. The fact that it was so rushed gives us viewers nothing to look forward to, and only injects the series with a fear of loss – meaning, we’re always afraid one of them may die, leaving the other alone for the rest of their life. That’s pretty dire, and not very fun.

But, I digress, you guys really love the show, so I don’t want to stomp on your parade. Thus, enjoy this beautiful image of Glenn and Maggie locking lips. If this were something that occurred in the Season 3 finale, well, I’d be much more excited.

Chucky death

Everyone’s favorite killer doll is headed back to the small screen with “Chucky” Season 3: Part 2 on April 10, but are any further movies being planned at this time?

Created by Don Mancini, the “Chucky” television series remarkably plays around with existing elements from all previous films without disregarding ANYTHING from the past. From the original Child’s Play to sequels including Child’s Play 2, Bride of Chucky and even Seed of Chucky, it’s all one cohesive timeline that Mancini remains deeply committed to.

Of course, the most recent film in the Child’s Play franchise was the 2019 remake, to date the only movie in the saga that’s NOT part of Mancini’s vision. Is Mancini’s original incarnation going to spend his final days on TV, while another Chucky will be featured in the movies? It’s a question we’ve been asking ourselves for the last few years, and we may now have an answer.

Speaking with the Scream Dreams Podcast this week, Mancini revealed that he’s in the early stages of development on a potential new installment in the original Chucky film franchise!

“Like anyone in this business, I want to do more things. At this point though if it’s only Chucky I’m totally cool with that,” Mancini explains. “I have other things I want to do. I’m working on a new pilot. I’m also, actually, in the early stages of working on a new Chucky movie.”

Mancini adds, “At this point, my goal is just to keep working.”

Outside of the aforementioned Child’s Play remake, there are to date seven installments in the franchise, with Cult of Chucky (2017) being the original franchise’s most recent film.

For now, Chucky remains a small screen icon. Don’t miss the premiere of Season 3: Part 2 on both USA and SYFY on April 10, with new episodes hitting Peacock the day after they air.
