Jim and A.Ron ponder a few questions looking backward to this past half season and looking forward to the next.  Where do the survivors go next? Which was better so far, season one or season two?  Can they make the zombies scarier?  Then we process some listener feedback and talk comic spoilers in the spoiler section.

Turns out that the midseason finale went out with a bang.  Several dozen, actually!  Before we get into the recap, we consider an article from The Atlantic on five ways The Walking Dead can be improved.  It’s pretty good, even if you think The Walking Dead is just fine as is. Then we break down the action as we consider effective Carol pick-up lines, Rick Jr., Glen getting a spinal upgrade, the Da...

Welcome to this week’s episode of Watching Dead!  Some say this was the best episode of the season, and some say one of the worst.  What do Jim and A.Ron think?  It might surprise you. We talk about chicken legs, advanced shooting classes, farmer’s ultimatums, the ridiculous, irresponsible way the “morning after” pills were depicted on the show, Dale stepping up, the lethality of shelving, Rick’s...

Welcome to this week’s episode of Watching Darryl Dead!  The show picks itself off, and dusts itself off after falling into a well last week, only to derail the otherwise decent episode with an ill advised headshot!  Rage along with Jim and A.Ron as we vent along with the listeners about the near tragic stupidity that is Andrea. Other points of interest;  Darryl’s continual carving a portrait of h...

Hey everybody! We had a nice run of two good episodes, so it was about time for a stinker.  Not historically bad, by TWD standards, but about as putrid as the zombie in that well.  I’m traveling this week, but was able to join the cast through the miracles of modern communication, as Jim and I break down the episode point by point. This week we discuss a defense of brainless zombie action, how to...

First off, apologies for the substandard audio quality.  We messed up our audio checks and ended up recording on the mac’s internal mic and not our soundboard.  It’s still listenable, but we’ll try to do better going forward. This week, we talk about backlash backlashes, how scary The Walking Dead really is, Shane’s face-heel turn, Rick’s optimism versus Lori’s fatalism, and lots of listener feedb...

If you hated our negativity on the first  cast but stuck with us, good news!  We liked the second episode much, much better.  I’d say that is because objectively this episode was much, much better, but hey, that’s me. We could really use your support on  iTunes!  If you like what we’re doing, please give us a five star review and consider subscribing, this helps us out in the rankings and expands...

Welcome to the first episode of The Watching Dead, the officially unofficial fan podcast of AMC’s The Walking Dead.  I’ll be up front, if you’re a big fan of the show, buckle up, because we’re fairly critical of what we feel is a very uneven episode.  There is a lot to like, but a lot of head scratchers and WTF moments, too. Now that we’re spinning up our second show, we could really use your supp...
