So, let´s add another one to our lists of renewed shows of 2012 and cancelled shows of 2012. In this case, avoiding the apocalypse predicted for December 21st, the post-apocalypse zombie new civilization show The Walking Dead got renewed for season four by AMC. This decision is a no brainer for the premium cabler, but, it did not come at no cost, as showrunner Glen Continue reading
We always wait for official confirmation to add a show to our lists of cancelled shows of 2012 and renewed shows of 2012, but in this case, James Hibberd from Entertainment Weekly caught something that may be a big leak in terms of the announcement, as the website for the show launched the Sweepstakes to win a trip to The Walking Dead season 4 set.
Let´s remember that AMC´s website has already spoiled the death of a major Continue reading
If you follow the books, and if you saw this week´s season 2 finale of The Walking Dead, you know you want to know more about that sword wielding character that had a couple of walkers chained.
Well, now, AMC has cast actress Danai Gurira (Treme/The Visitor) in the coveted role of Michonne for The Walking Dead. This season two finale first featured the iconic character who will reappear Continue reading
The season two of The Walking Dead is getting more and more impressive, and after this Sunday´s shocking episode in which Dale got killed by a walker and finished by Daryl, after Rick couldn´t pull the trigger to put him out of his misery.
Thing is, the walker was the one that Carl didn´t warn anybody that was going around, so I can see a lot of guilt from him in episodes to come.
Probably the kid in the barn won´t get killed for the time being, thus moving the story into the third season, when The Governor joins the story.
But there´s something important still happening in this second season of Continue reading
Ok, everyone who saw The Walking Dead tonight must be left wondering who the father of Lori Grimes baby is. Specially since the show´s episode ended with Lori peeing on a pregnancy test that turned out to be positive.
But, here´s the most important thing. She has been with both Shane and Rick, and looking at her expression at the end of the episode (hats off Sarah Wayne Callies), we can think that she has no idea of who the father of her baby is, or at least that she has some serious doubts and knows there´s a big big trouble ahead for her.
How long have Rick been in a coma, is something that has not been addressed, so how long ago she started going at it with Shane is also a mystery, but she only quit the very same day that Rick came back; so that´s not so long ago.
Now, the timeframe can make both Shane Walsh the father of Lori Grimes´ baby, and Rick Grimes the father of Lori Grimes´ baby.
The only question is wether she´ll know who it is, and wether she´ll tell anyone.
Is Lori going to tell about her pregnancy? Is she going to hide it? Is she going to abort? There´s a lot now to speculate.
Head down to the comments section for your theories.
Mine is, it´s Rick´s baby.
What do you think? Who is Lori Grimes´baby father, Rick or Shane?

Still coming, more info to update lists for renewed shows on 2011 and all the cancelled shows on 2011, and this time, the no brainer per se, Renewing The Walking Dead for season three. (See what I did there?) Not only is a no brainer because The Walking Dead premiered to a basic cable record ratings in season two opener, but also because they are zombies! (I´m proud of myself, lol).
Charlie Collier, AMC President stated “Today we are pleased to announce that the ‘dead’ shall live as we proudly renew The Walking Dead for a third season on AMC and, globally, with our terrific partners at Fox International Channels.”
Just in case you don´t know what is it about, The Walking Dead is an American post-apocalyptic horror television series developed for television by Frank Darabont and based on the ongoing comic book series, The Walking Dead, by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore and Charlie Adlard. The series centers on a small group of survivors led by Sheriff’s Deputy Rick Grimes and his family.
And now, it has been renewed for third season of The Walking Dead. More brain eaters to come!

Recap from Nickchor and deanspeir
Dawn. Rick hunches on a grassy hill overlooking Atlanta. He tries to hail Morgan on the radio and warn him. “Atlanta is not what we thought,” Rick urges. “Do not enter the city. It belongs to the dead now.” The sheriff then gives the location of the survivors before giving up. No contact with Morgan has yet been made. Andrea, meanwhile, continues to mourn Amy, who lives dead on the camp ground. Lori approaches. “We all cared about her,” Lori says. “We’ll be as gentle as we can.” In other words, the body must be discarded. Andrea doesn’t respond. Rick tries his luck — and Andrea points a gun at him for his efforts. “Sorry,” Rick whispersthen slowly backs away.
The clean-up continues. Daryl tries to drag one of the human dead into a fire, but Glenn won’t allow it. The humans are to be buried — decent like. “You left my brother for dead,” Daryl growls. “You had this coming.” Ouch.
More bad news follows. Jim was bitten in the skirmish. He pleads with Jacqui not to tell, but she announces his wound to the camp. “I’m OK, I’m OK,” Jim insists, but the bite is deep. He isn’t OK. Naturally, Daryl suggests putting a pickaxe into Jim’s head, but Rick protests, insisting “We don’t kill the living!” Instead, Rick suggests the group head to the CDC — on the off chance that a cure can be found. Nobody particularly likes the idea, but no one argues either.
Later, Dale has a heart-to-heart conversation with Andrea. He explains that, after his wife died of cancer, he didn’t care about anybody until he met Andrea and Amy. Andrea is touched. She gently lays Amy’s birthday gift — a necklace and pendant — across the dead woman’s bloody neck. Carol, in the meantime, volunteers to sink a pickaxe into the head of her (abusive) dead husband. She does so — and then does it again and again. Something tells us that Carol is working out past frustrations.
Suddenly, Amy opens her eyes. Is she alive?! Not exactly. “Amy, I’m sorry I always thought there would be more time,” Andrea whispers. Before Amy can bite into her sibling, Andrea puts a gun to her temple. “I love you,” she whispers before shooting undead Amy through the brain.
Later, Shane questions Rick’s decision to leave the group and attempt to rescue Merle. It appears a power struggle between the longtime friends could be brewing. But there’s no time for a pissing match now. The group gathers to bury its dead (in spite of Daryl’s repeated objections) — and Rick makes a promise to his boy: “I won’t leave again … not for anything.” Lori, meanwhile, questions the logic of going to the CDC on a “hunch.” A decision will have to be made quickly, however. Poor Jim is looking terrible. The sick man coughs and spits into a bucket. Lori eventually opts to support her husband, telling Shane that they should trust Rick’s “gut.” Shane is visibly disappointed.
Later, Rick and Shane strike out into the woods to search for zombies. They argue over the best course of action. Shane is obviously upset for reasons (his affair with Lori in Rick’s absence) that he doesn’t mention. The two then split up in search of the undead. From a distance, Shane points his gun at his friend, but doesn’t fire. The next morning, Rick tries Morgan again on the radio, explaining his plan to head to the CDC. Again, Morgan doesn’t answer. Shane, meanwhile, explains how the caravan will work when Morales announces that he won’t be coming. Instead, the survivor and his family will go to Alabama, where they have kin. “I have to do what’s best for my family,” he explains.
So everybody minus the Morales family climb into cars, trucks and a camper and drive. In the back of the RV, Jim moans in pain. Naturally, they don’t get far before the camper overheats. Shane volunteers to ride ahead to a gas station and see if a replacement part can be found. Rick then visits Jim, who asks to die. “I want this,” he says. “Leave me here it’s my decision.” Moments later, the group carries Jim to a nearby tree. Rick offers Jim a pistol, but the sick man refuses it. They then leave Jim to the elements.
Cut to a flickering video feed. A man introduces himself as Jenner, who drinks from a CDC coffee mug. He lives underground and searches for a cure — but there has been no progress. End of transmission.
We then see Jenner, wearing a full contamination suit, studying samples of the undead flesh and listening to classical music. The man is exhausted — and he accidently knocks over a test tube. Alarm bells begin to sound. Jenner hustles to the door and it slams shut behind him. Suddenly, the lab room bursts into flames. A robotic voice announces that “decontamination is complete.” Jenner hangs his head. His fresh samples have just been destroyed. No more tests. Still no cure.
Later, Jenner drinks wine. “I think tomorrow I’m going to blow my brains out,” he says into a monitor. “But tonight I’m getting drunk.” The camera pulls back to reveal that Jenner is alone in a vast and high-tech underground facility. Outside, the land around the CDC is littered with corpses — hundreds of them. The group of horrified survivors weaves through the bodies toward the door. Inside, Jenner spots the survivors on a security monitor. He is shocked. Rick looks into the camera and begs for help. Jenner hesitates, struggling with how to respond to the survivors’ plea… and then finallly opens the door from the inside.

One of the best new shows back this Sunday with a new episode called Vatos, where Rick’s mission to Atlanta is jeopardized when things go awry. Jim becomes unhinged in camp.
Daryl: Hey kid, what did you do before all this?
Glenn: I delivered pizzas
Daryl: You got some balls for a China man
Glenn: I´m Korean
Daryl: Whatever
Miguel: What kind of name is Merle? I wouldn´t name Merle my dog
You have your man, I want mine.
Rick Grimes: My hearing is fine. You said to come here lock and loaded. Well, here we are.
T-Dog: I thought you were being eaten by dogs man.
Glenn: Admit it. You only came back to Atlanta for the hat
Daryl: How long do you think they have?
Rick: How long do any us?
Jim: I remember my dream now. Why I dug the holes
Recap by NickChor, You_cant_haz and Deanspeir
Andrea and Amy fish on a serene lake in a quarry. Their conversation, however, is strained — the pair were born 12 years apart and don’t appear to have much in common. They talk of their father, who taught them different approaches to fishing. “He knew we were so different,” Amy says. “He knew you needed to catch the fish and I needed to throw them back.” The thought of their parents nearly brings both ladies to tears. It’s a touching moment.
Meanwhile, the crew of would-be rescuers has just discovered Merle’s severed hand on the Atlanta rooftop where he’d been left by the last exploratory group. Angry Daryl, who holds T-Dog responsible for his brother’s predicament, aims his crossbox at the man. Rick, in turn, points his own gun at Daryl, urging the hillbilly to stand down… or else. The tension subsides somewhat, and Daryl picks up his brother’s hand, wrapping it in T-Dog’s bandana for safe keeping. The group follows Merle’s blood trail… and discovers a few slaughtered zombies along the way. Apparently, Merle remains pretty handy at killing the undead — even with one hand.
Back at camp, Jim determinedly digs a series of holes — so determinedly that he ignores (or doesn’t hear) Dale’s offer of water. In fact, the survivor appears oblivious to everybody. “Hey, Jim?” Shane asks. “I’m just a little concerned, man.” Jim continues to dig and — after calling Shane’s leadership into question — takes a swing at the cop with the shovel. Shane tackles the digger and cuffs him. “The only reason I got away because the dead were too busy eating my family,” Jim cries. The man is clearly unhinged.
Glenn is giving a detailed plan of how the rescue team will search the streets. The strategy covers all angles. “You got some balls for a Chinaman,” Daryl sneers. Says Glenn: “I’m Korean.” Spits Daryl: “Whatever.”
The team then hits the streets, which are filled with walkers. Glenn is able to grab the bag of weapons left behind by Rick, but is then accosted by living members of a street gang! The gang members shove Glenn into their car and speed away. One of the gang, however, is left behind… and the young man is immediately corralled by T-Dog and a seething Daryl.
Back at the camp, Shane has tied Jim to a tree… for his own safety, of course. Jim apologizes to the children for scaring them. And why was he digging? “Something I dreamt last night,” explains Jim, who can’t remember the details. He then urges Lori to keep Carl close. “Never let him out of your sight,” he says. Lori nods in understanding.
The rescue team, in the meantime, interrogates the captured punk, who refuses to provide any info. Daryl then shows the punk Merle’s severed hand, claiming that it was he who did the cutting. The punk shakes in fear… and then talks. Moments later, the rescue team arrives at the hideout of the gang, which is led by a man named Guillermo. Rick proposes trading the Glenn for the young punk, but Guillermo refuses. He wants the bag of guns. Only then will the gang surrender Glenn.
The rescue team retreats to their makeshift headquarters, where the guns are stashed. Not surprisingly, Daryl doesn’t want to give up the guns… but Rick disagrees. The sheriff explains that Glenn saved him from the inside of a tank. Rick plans to return the favor. So, moments later, the team approaches the gang hideout for the second time. The young punk is bound and gagged as he is pushed inside at gunpoint where he is then freed.
“You have your man, I want mine,” says Rick, who refuses to surrender the bag of weapons. Many guns are drawn and pointed when an old lady suddenly parts the crowd. It is a grandmother of one of the gang members. Rick assures the abuela that he is not there to arrest her kin. The old lady then leads Rick and the rescuers inside an attached old-folks home.
Turns out that the group is caring for the residents — and are willing to fight for weapons and medicine to do so. “The staff took off,” explains Guillermo, who was a custodian at the facility. “Just left them here to die.” The gang members act as security. Sympathetic, Rick then hands over a few weapons to help the cause.
Later, the rescue team heads back to their van… only the vehicle is missing. “Who would take it?” Glenn asks. Answers Rick: “Merle.” Even Daryl winces — his brother probably went back to camp … for revenge. The crew heads off toward the camp on foot.
Back at camp Shane decides to free Jim so he can join the survivors for a fish fry. Everybody is enjoying the food and chatting — Dale gives the group a Faulkner lesson — when zombies suddenly attack the camp! Ed is bitten! Another walker takes a chunk out of Amy’s neck! Andrea screams as her sister bleeds out. Shane opens fire. Morales and Jim bask zombies with bats.
Just then, the rescue team arrives for another rescue. They fire their weapons repeatedly as Zombie brain matter splatters the campsite. Suddenly, all is quiet save for a weeping Andrea, who hunches over her sister’s lifeless body. “Amy!” she screams. “Amy!” The remainder of the survivors watch in horror.
Jim whispers chillingly: “I remember my dream now… why I dug the holes.”
