Unlike so many 'shocking' character deaths, this one had no heavy-handed foreshadowing. The way Kevin just was suddenly in a scene about halfway through the episode - all casual and translating and having a sandwich - it seemed like an ordinary day in the bunker. We got no uncharacteristic heart-to-heart conversations…

This is not a good week for some of my favorite TV characters (yes, I don't out much)…first Herschel on TWD and now Kevin on SPN. Curse my media obsession.

If they ever did a cross-over (a la CSI Miami/NY), I would be so happy just to be alive on the planet. Can you imagine the snarky bro-fest that would sparkle the air between Dean Winchester and Ichabod Crane?

I have no idea what you just said, but I like it!

This scenario is highly plausible (what's up with the downvote?? we need to get rid of that function on the AVC discussions). But if this is what happened, Carol miscalculated. She didn't envision the possibility that her confession would get her banished. And Rick, in my opinion, should not have made that decision…

Agreed. I also think that he was responding with pure nihilism to Rick's assertion that "we can all change." He realized that the darkness inside himself would make change forever impossible and he wanted to embrace it, prove it, and demonstrate it all in one swing of the katana. Megan was dead, Rick was about to sway…

Thanks for letting us know, @olaf78:disqus .

I thought so too but then I re-watched it. The last time we see Beth, she and Daryl are running away, no baby in sight.

What I couldn't believe was that, with so many guns aiming at the fucking Governor from inside the prison fence, how come nobody took the shot as soon as he raised the sword over Herschel's head? Were they waiting to see if the sociopath was bluffing? Wasn't it obvious that Rick's noble attempt at diplomacy was about…

Last week, I decided to take a gander at what he looks like in "real life," something I'd previously hesitated to do because I didn't want to be disillusioned. I figured he'd look all pasty and scrawny without the groovy wardrobe and long hair. Nope, there he was on the n-n-nernet with short hair and modern clothing…

True - where pop culture and higher education meet! (Although I figure you don't mean this in a good way. I personally like being a fan of all the cool ass-kicking and bad-assity and shit blowing up real good while also seeing bigger contexts that in no way diminish my joy of the fun stuff.)

I loved the "What the fudge, lady?" line.

If I didn't have to get up early and drive across a state and a half, I'd go into this more - and I know some of my mates on the Supernatural boards will have things to say about the gender issues that drive (no pun intended) this series and have always driven it. But as a longtime fan of the show, I often have to…

This show is making the American Revolution cool and I get to nerd out at all the genre/history mash-ups. Glad you're on board with this one!

Two-fisted shooting Wesley, lovesick Wesley, taking away the bucket Wesley, sorry for himself Wesley, kidnapping Wesley, pretending to be Angel Wesley, lie to me now Wesley - all awesome all the time.

The furious, blood-soaked Ichabod is just as believable (and seriously wonderful) as well as the sweet befuddled Ichabod is - all credit to the writers for knowing what Mison can pull off.

That's a wonderful reading of the A/I relationship, Olaf78. You are spot on about the constancy of flux in their pairing, as opposed to the Winchesters. I think it is indeed "history" that drives this flux and that serves as a source of both humor (the museum's fake Paul Revere story, the "wondrous" internet, the…

And, although I don't want to cutesy up the show with a wise-cracking kid, it is still very cool that this show tees up strong female characters on a regular basis, particularly POC - and for that reason, I'm good with some more storyline on the father-daughter relationship (just leave Angry Ex-Wife at home).

I replayed that bit, to see what he was mumbling. He said, "Who is he, some Irishman?" Mison's line delivery never fails to win all of television.

Until Nikita came back on Friday night, I didn't realize Jenny is also Sonya (with a good English accent) from that show. We get a double-dip of the her awesomeness - and the hoodie struck me as a wonderful theatrical touch, she's like the Arrow.
