How did Dwight's face come to be so scarred? Did I miss something between his stealing Daryl's bike and this episode? Or was it always like that?

Well, that was grim. I know that nihilism is a word often thrown around when discussing "The Walking Dead", but that was one of the worst examples for me. It's hard to really endorse anyone on the show after watching that. It made me yearn for the happy-go-lucky days on the farm in season 2.

30 years ago, when most dramas were about hospitals, I distinctly recall my mother (who was a nurse) saying that any drama that is set in your industry is set up for ridicule and criticism because it's almost never accurate. I'm not sure what that says about the evolution of television - not to mention my life - but I

"Amazing" seems a slightly odd choice of adjective to describe the death of their frontman. I mean, he's not technically wrong in the Oxford English Dictionary sense of the word, but I do still find it a curious word to employ. I've always wondered whether a dark part of Brian May relished the fact that Freddie's

Only in the world of "Billions" do headhunters get paid commissions by the candidates that they represent (not to mention, happily give away those fees). If only that were the case. Maybe it's because I work in that industry, but I was floored by the lack of basic research on that front.

My first thought on leaving the movie theater was that it would make a great kids open sandbox game. A Disney-fied Grand Theft Auto type affair.

Were the zombies stuck in the burning car part of the group, or a small herd they ran into on the road? I thought it was the former at first, but then their decayed state would make no sense.

He was never a better asshole than on "24". Though he did go out like a champ.

"There are two different kinds of caveman movie: the ones with dinosaurs and the ones without. Far Cry Primal has no dinosaurs in it, and the humans all speak an unfamiliar language (translated via helpful subtitles), but it’s the second kind of caveman movie at heart."

Rick's a player - the blonde chick hasn't been in the ground (well, on it) a month or so, and he's already moving on.

This week on The Walking Dead - Rick and Daryl's Excellent Adventure.

Watching tonight, I was struck by this - of all the main (or even sideline) character deaths on the show to date, has a single one been left to roam? Even the Wolf with the bad teeth got his redemption on the end of a stick. I don't think there has been, but correct me if I'm wrong. It arguably defies the nihilism

Rick really did a number on the Andersons, huh? Not since the days of Fayina Chikatilo has someone entered into that unhealthy a relationship.

There's no mistaking Cardiff, believe me. It ain't doubling for London any time soon. I don't mean that to sound insulting (I'm Welsh) but it's not some convenient urban stunt double, unless you're maybe filming down near the Bay.

You're half right. Many shows are shot there, but not visibly on location.

Yet, no mention of ROYSTON VASEY? And they had all that spare space in the Pennines too.

Is she the girl sitting in the chair in the promo shot above?

I did too. I scrolled up to the top mid-way through to make sure I was on the right page.

It felt like a Geico ad. I thought James Hetfield was going to tell Axelrod how he could save 15 minutes on his (fleet of) car insurance by switching to them.

I hate celebrity cameos in shows like this. I get what they were trying to do, but at that moment it just seemed like an outtake with Damien Lewis clearly enamored being around his idols.
