If you have been following Robert Kirkman’s zombie apocalypse epic The Walking Dead, then you already know. This book is not only the most brutal account of the dead returning to life ever told, it is also the most realistic. And I use the term “brutal” cautiously. Don’t misunderstand – The Walking Dead is chock full of good ol’ fashioned zombie killin’. Heads roll and guts spill on a regular in this story. But the real brutality of this wonderful little book is in what transpires within the mind of a survivor. Never before, on any medium, has a zombie survival story properly conveyed what would really happen to characters who are witness to such macabre acts of violence and destruction of human life on a daily basis. Issue #69 has our survivors finally making it to Washington, but will things get better…or worse?…

In this episode of LOST’s final season, lines continue to be drawn as the island heads into the mysterious and long alluded-to “war.” Hurley (Jorge Garcia) is visited yet again by the ghost of Jacob (Mark Pellegrino) and given further instructions. This time, Jack (Matthew Fox) is summoned as well. However, the good doctor has reached the end of his rope and is exhausted by mystery, perhaps as much as LOST’s entire audience. Meanwhile, we peek back in on Claire (Emelie De Ravin) and are given a few more clues regarding the cryptic “infection.” In the alternate reality, further differences are revealed between the original timeline and the new timeline. Jack is now the father of a moody tween and after meeting Dogen (Hiro Sanada), it continues to appear as though the island has held no sway whatsoever in this new reality. From here on in…BEWARE THE SPOILERS!!!…

Other than perhaps a bit too much of John Lithgow‘s bare ass in some of the earlier episodes, what is not to love about Dexter this season? I thought it would be impossible to ever dethrone the second season as my personal favorite. But so far, season four is electrifying. Best of all, this season seems to be really digging at the audience, trying to make each viewer decide, “what is my code.” We all know the central question the show poses – is Dexter (and his actions) right or wrong? But even if you decide Dex is wrong, this wonderful little show is infamous for getting you to cheer on the self-proclaimed “monster.” And when you begin to cheer on the monster, you are forced to perceive some of the people close to him as a threat to his survival.…
