There are many beloved characters on the show "The Walking Dead." One of them, however, is not Andrea. So, the fact that this episode was devoted almost entirely to her was both frustrating and just plainly annoying. But anyway, less criticism and more recapping.
The episode began with Carl and Hershal yelling at Rick because he has effectively lost his mind, and Rick didn't really seem that overly upset about it. He himself has probably realized that he's losing it, and hopefully realizes that he now needs to get his act together.
The fact that Merle is now at the prison is not popular w...

"The Walking Dead" is a very good at starting an episode off very slowly and making it seem like almost nothing is going on before suddenly breaking into all out action. This week's episode, "Home" was no exception to the rule, with about 80% of the episode consisting of dialogue with an awesome Daryl zombie killing marathon in the middle and a fantastic action filled ending.
Let's get down to the talking and dialogue bit first. The episode began with Rick once again seeing Lori (and this time we got a full view of her face!) and immediately leaving the prison to follow her ghost outside o...

"I've only seen three movies in my lifetime, 'Bridge on the River Kwai,' 'Patton,' and 'Herbie: Fully Loaded.'"
This week's episode of "Parks and Recreation" was the perfect example of how great this show can be when everything comes together, and specifically when every character on the show is played to their utmost strength.
Leslie finds out that she needs to raise $50,000 dollars to turn lot 48 into a community serving park, and decides to have a gala to raise the money. However, she is almost immediately taken out of the process of planning the gala by a government test of Pawnee's e...

Valentines Day is supposed to be a day for lovers to celebrate their bond and affection, and for anyone who isn't single, it's usually a great day. However, for those who are single and may in fact be lonely, here are ten songs to listen to that will help comfort you while you sit in your bedroom eating an entire box of chocolates.
10. "So Lonely" The Police
The chorus to this early song by The Police features Sting singing the phrase "so lonely" over and over again, as if he's trying to drill it into the listener's brain. He later goes on to sing "in this desert that I call my soul, ...

The Walking Dead is back! After the incredible strong first half of season 3, there seemed to be an immense build up of pressure for the show to deliver on this midseason premiere. The episode was not intense or action-y in any way, however, and focused mostly on the plot side of things, and featured a lot of talking, which is not uncommon for this show.
The episode began with the Governor pitching the Dixon brothers against each other in a fight to the death, and Merle immediately began to beat into Daryl, but then quickly revealed that he had a plan. At about this same time, Rick showed ...

Ann Perkins seems to be the least likeable character on Parks lately (well, ever since the third season really) and although this episode was supposed to focus on her, it was instead hijacked by Chris, Ben, and Ron, who took part in what was perhaps the single greatest moment in the show so far, with all three of them suffering from horrible food poisoning. But more on that in a minute.
Ann's plot this week hinged on her desire to have a baby despite the fact that she has no love interest. This of course caused much controversy with Leslie, who didn't approve of Ann's choice of father, the...

AMC's zombie apocalypse juggernaut of a show "The Walking Dead" finally returns this week, and the stakes for the survivors are now higher than they've ever been. The midseason finale put fan favorites Daryl and Merle Dixon into the hands of the now one eyed Governor, and Rick appears to have gone completely insane. So, things are setting up nicely for the second half of the season. Here are five spoilers that we know so far about the midseason premiere, titled "The Suicide King."
5. Daryl Dixon Will Escape the Grasp of the Governor
The midseason finale of the show ended with Daryl an...

A$AP Rocky was set to conquer the world of rap music in 2012. His mix tape 'Live Love A$AP' made many year end lists in 2011 and netted him a major label deal. 'Long.Live.A$AP' was set to release in the middle of 2012, and yet it received numerous delays, and during that time Kendrick Lamar released his masterpiece 'Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City,' which seemed to take attention off of Rocky.
Well, it's now 2013 and 'Long.Live.' is finally here, and it was mostly worth the wait. In fact, the only let down on the album is Rocky himself.
Most of the beats on 'Long.Live.' are nothing short of fanta...

Christmas seems to be the only holiday that has an entire genre of music dedicated to it. Christmas music seems to show up on the radio early each year, and yet every time it does it brings the same played out standards with it, and there is very little fresh air in the genre. Some artists even go as far as to turn classics from their catalog of songs into sell out Christmas disasters (Cheap Trick), but even this does little to make things interesting. So this year, instead of listening to the Pandora christmas station, why not listen to some bizarre, compelling, and even partially offensiv...
