[TV] November 4, 2012: The Day AMC Fixed “The Walking Dead”!

Spoiler alert! The Walking Dead is officially good, no, great. In one swift blow they’ve managed to fix two major problems I’ve had with the show, and thus flipped it on its head. I’ll keep mum as to not spoil it for some of you who are behind (even though those assholes at Talking Dead #spoil everything during commercial breaks), but start chatting below and then look ahead to next Sunday, November 11 when AMC airs episode 03.05 “Say the Word”. We’ve also added a pair of making-of videos so you can go behind-the-scenes of this Sunday’s shocker.

In the episode, Rick struggles after another loss; Michonne is suspicious of the Governor. Check out the promo that aired tonight.

In the highly anticipated new season, Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and his fellow survivors continue to seek refuge in a desolate and post-apocalyptic world and soon discover that there are greater forces to fear than just the walking dead. The struggle to survive has never been so perilous. Season 3 also introduces new characters, including the Governor (David Morrissey) and fan-favorite Michonne (Danai Gurira), along with her zombie pets.READ MORE

[TV Bites] Next On “American Horror Story: Asylum” Episode 3 “Nor’easter”, New Pics From “Hannibal”!

We’ve got new teaser for Episode 3, “Nor’easter”, of American Horror Story: Asylum,” set to air airing October 31st at 10:00 pm e/p aired its second episode of the season, “Tricks And Treats”, tonight. In the episode, ““A violent storm hits Briarcliff, allowing a group of patients to plan a daring escape. Sister Jude (Jessica Lange) is haunted by her past.” It was written by Jennifer Salt and directed by Michael Uppendahl. Actually the teaser isn’t new so much as it doesn’t have an obnoxious Budweiser ad taking up half the screen. I posted half of it last night.

And the Playlist also got some pics of Hugh Dancy as Will Graham and Mads Mikkelsen as the titular character of NBC’s “Hannibal“. In the show, “Will Graham is a gifted criminal profiler who is on the hunt for a serial killer with the FBI. Graham’s unique way of thinking gives him the astonishing ability to empathize with anyone – even psychopaths. He seems to know what makes them tick. But when the mind of the twisted killer he’s pursuing is too complicated for even Will to comprehend, he enlists the help of Dr. Lecter, one of the premier psychiatric minds in the country. Armed with the uncanny expertise of the brilliant doctor, Will and Hannibal (known as a serial killer only to the audience) form a brilliant partnership, and it seems there’s no villain they can’t catch. If Will only knew…

[TV] Next On “The Walking Dead” Ep. 3×02 “Sick”, Season 3 Premiere Talkback!

It’s no secret that AMC’s road to the third season of their record-breaking zombie drama The Walking Dead has been a rocky one. Us horror fans have been giving the series a major pass because, well, we’re just excited to have something to call “ours” on the small screen. While I’ve been one of the more vocal naysayers, it should be clarified that Robert Kirman’s comic series is one of my all-time favorites, and I expected a bit more from the team behind this adaptation (Season 2 spoiler: the fact that Carl doesn’t actually kill Shane obliterates his character and devolves him from becoming a broken young “man”). The behind-the-scenes chaos last season between showrunner Frank Darabont and AMC became got ugly when it became public – but to be fair, you can’t repair two seasons of damage overnight.

With that I lead into tonight’s Season 3 premiere. A new start. A new beginning. This is the first time AMC and the filmmaking team are on the same page. Early word has been incredibly strong. Thus, it’s hard to imagine that anyone here isn’t excited to see the undead rise back on their televisions (unless, of course, you have Dish).

As I write this, Rick and co. should be arriving to the prison complex and setting up what should be the definitive turning point in this franchise. With the introduction of Michonne and The Governor there’s a lot to look forward to. But let’s just start right here, right now. Take it one day at a time. Talk back below and get a conversation going with other Bloody readers regarding the premiere episode. You can also cement your thoughts in BD history by writing your own review in our database. We’re dying to know what you think!

Update: We’ve add the promo for episode 2, along with two behind-the-scenes looks at the making of episode 03.01 “Seed” inside! READ MORE
