Tomorrow is the mid-season finale of The Walking Dead and I haven’t felt this much anticipation since Mr. White broke bad for the last time. Everyone is so geared up for the showdown at the prison, but I can’t help but wonder if it doesn’t quite live up to our over- hyped expectations. Yes, it […]

TWD S4, E7: “Dead Weight” by Dusty
You can read Fremont’s write-up here. It looks as though some of my grumpy old man views are rubbing off on her. Progress! What I’m drinking: Country Boy Jalapeno Porter. Like last week’s selection, this is a local beer. It’s tremendous. A dark, smoky porter, with a little bite of jalapeno that hits you in […]

TWD S4, E7: Dead Weight by L.C.
While Brian Harriet is teaching his new daughter how to play chess, he refers to her as “pumpkin”. I always love when fathers call their daughter’s “pumpkin”, but this is just making me uncomfortable. I understand that this story line with Brian and his new family is necessary to illustrate his history, but all of […]

TWD S4, E6 “Live Bait” by Dusty
You can read Fremont’s write-up here. What I’m drinking: West Sixth IPA. This is from a local brewery. One of the best IPAs I’ve ever had. Has a strong grapefruit taste to it. If you like IPAs, you’ll love it. But good luck finding it outside the Lexington area. Five things that annoyed me: 1. […]

TWD S4, E6: “Live Bait”
I know that everyone was probably expecting the inevitable showdown between Rick and Daryl, but it just wouldn’t be TWD’s style to show you the Governor at the end of last week and then not spend this week catching us up on his story. We were gifted with a lot of action at the prison […]

TWD S4 E5, “Internment” by Dusty
What I’m drinking: Newcastle Werewolf. The goal was to save this for Hemlock Grove, but, at this point, it seems unlikely I’ll go back to watching that show. At least not anytime soon. This is a decent beer. Not nearly as good as Newcastle Brown Ale, but pretty good. It has a bitter berry taste […]

TWD S4, E5: Internment
” Not Everyone Gets To Live” So, Rick is still looking at himself in the rearview mirror, contemplating his decision to excommunicate Carol. Wait!! Where did these dogs come from?! So, I guess this virus isn’t zoonotic. Interesting. Cell Block D is quickly becoming a morgue rather than an infirmary. If it wasn’t for Hershel, […]
You can read Fremont’s thoughts on this episode here. What I’m drinking: Apple cider and Fireball cinnamon whiskey. With Fremont drinking gin and juice (combined with the debacle that was last week’s episode), I thought I’d step up my drinking game this week. Before long, I’ll be slamming down bottles just a little too hard […]
“Nobody’s died yet. I think a lot of people are going to die. It always happens;makes me sad, but at least they get to come back.” “Lizzy, when they come back, people aren’t who they were. “Yeah, but they’re something;they’re someone.” This conversation was fascinating. On the one hand, I still think Lizzy is a […]
