As you may have already heard, the cult TV show Twin Peaks is returning to our screens in 2016. David Lynch and Mark Frost will be at the forefront of it and it is initially going to be nine episodes.
Somehow, I think that if the show is a success, there will be more episodes. I also hope that a lot of the original cast return. While I don't mind some new faces, I am a die hard fan and want to see all of the townsfolk I remember from the original series. The fact that Lynch is doing it himself is a good thing. If someone else was at the helm, I would be horrified.
I loved this show from the first time I saw it which was almost 20 years ago, if not more. I think that it is my favourite TV show of all time and I love the first and second seasons, even if there are flaws with the second one. I really thought that the network ruined the show because they forced Lynch to reveal the killer way too soon. Hopefully, Lynch and Frost will get to do the new show THEIR way and finish it right. I really hope that this show will be atmospheric as the first one was, with some weird and wonderful characters. Of course, Agent Cooper will have to be at the forefront of it and I don't know what they will do about BOB as Frank Silva has passed away as has Don Davis who was Major Briggs and Jack Nance who was Pete Martell.
The big question is will Laura Palmer show up too? I would think that she will be written in somewhere. Maybe there will be some flashbacks or flashforwards, who knows? All I know is that it is looking good and for all the Twin Peaks fans who have always wondered what happened to Agent Cooper and co., then this is going to be a great TV show. Bring it on!!!!
This episode begins with Marie Laveau casting a spell on some dead bodies after a black guy is killed in the 1960's. She uses voodoo to send the dead after those responsible. Cut to the 70's and Marie meets the then leader of the witches, Anna-Leigh and they call a truce on their war. When Anna-Leigh disappears, Fiona is made the next supreme. Myrtle Snow is the only one who suspects her of murdering Anna-Leigh to get the position. She can't prove it so she goes after Spalding who cuts out his own tongue to stop him from telling her anything. He will not betray Fiona.
Cut to modern day, and Spalding sees Fiona murdering Madison. As usual, he covers up the crime for her. Queenie is half dead after her battle with the minotaur. Cordelia's husband Hank is cheating on her with another woman, but then he shoots the woman dead revealing a dark side to him. Marie Laveau gets the minotaurs head in a box from Fiona and this makes her angry. The truce is broken and Marie declares war on the witches. The witches council comes to the house to discuss Madison and her disappearance. The head of the council is Myrtle Snow(Frances Conroy) who knows that Fiona killed her but has no proof yet again! They have to leave. Fiona and her daughter are at a bar and when Cordelia goes to the bathroom, a hooded figure throws acid in her face. Spalding has Madison's body in his room and he dresses in women's clothes and dances around. At the house, the witches look outside and see loads of dead bodies surrounding the house....
A good episode. There is always plenty happening in this show and the plot twists are interesting...
This episode is the mid-season finale, so we will have to wait for another while to see more. Last time, The Governor had taken over as leader of the camp and he was looking at the prison. This episode begins with The Governor telling people that Rick and his group have a prison and that they are criminals and bad people. The camp agrees to go to the prison and get it for themselves. Hershel and Michonne are in his trailer and he talks to them about what will happen. Hershel tries to get him to see reason and tells him they they could co-exist in the prison, but The Governor says that he could never live with Rick or Michonne. Daryl is not too happy about what happened with Carol and tells Rick that. They decide that they have to tell Tyreese about it.
The Governor shows up with a tank and his people, armed. He calls out Rick and tells him to get out of the prison and nobody will get hurt. Rick refuses and Hershel and Michonne are brought out. Rick is surprised. Rick tries to reason with him, but he won't budge. He wants them out or else he will kill the two hostages. Rick stands firm and tells him that he is not going to leave. The Governor becomes angry and he threatens to kill Hershel. Rick tries to reason again, but it is no good. The Governor kills Hershel. All hell breaks loose. Lilly arrives, carrying the body of Meghan who has been killed by a walker. He shoots her in the head so she won't turn into a walker. The Governor seems to lose what was left of his senses and he attacks the prison with his forces. A gun battle ensues and people get shot. The Governor gets Rick and he tries to choke him. He almost succeeds, but Michonne kills him. Rick and Carl get away and some of the others.
It was a good episode, but I am disappointed that The Governor is dead. I guess the baddie always has to die, but I liked the character. Some of the others are a little bland for me. Hershel has gone now too so the group is shrinking by the minute. It will be February before we find out what will happen now..
Last episode, The Governor was caught in a pit with Meghan and he saw one of his men, Martinez with a gun. This week starts with Martinez getting Meghan and The Governor out of the pit. They join the camp. Martinez is surprised at the apparent change in The Governor. He goes out with the men looking for supplies. They find a corpse with the word liar printed on it. Then they find a cabin and there is another corpse there. The Governor kills a walker. Martinez talks to him about how he has changed. The Governor hits him and throws him into the walker pit. The other guys think that he fell. There is a new leader of the camp.
The Governor and others are out looking for supplies when they see another camp. They need their supplies but the leader says no. They move on, but later come back to the camp and find everyone dead and the supplies gone. That night, The Governor tells his new family that they need to get out of the camp because the leader is weak. They try to go, but their path is blocked by loads of walkers and they have to return. The Governor kills the new leader and tells the second in command Mitch that he has killed the top guy and he is taking over. Mitch agrees to join him and he takes over as the leader. He goes to the prison and looks at Michonne who makes him angry and he sees Hershel too. Another good episode which is setting things up nicely..
Last week, The Governor was spotted watching the prison. This week, we find out what happened to him after he went crazy and shot most of his men. He gets abandoned by the few men he had left and he wanders around. He returns to Woodbury and burns it all down. He wanders around and meets a family who are living in an apartment. They are Lilly(Audrey Marie Anderson),Tara, Meghan and their dad who is sick with cancer. He calls himself Brian and he tells them that he will just stay the night. They need oxygen tanks for their dad so Brian goes and gets them for them. They are very grateful to him. The dad eventually dies and Brian has to shoot him as he will turn into a walker. He buries him.
He decides to go on the road but they don't want him to leave. Brian looks at Meghan who is around the same age as his daughter who died and he decides to stay. They go on the road together and Brian and Lilly have sex. The next day, they run into a huge group of walkers, so they have to run. Brian takes Meghan and they flee with the others. They fall into a huge pit which contains walkers. Brian kills them with his bare hands and tells Meghan he will protect her. He looks up and sees one of his old men, Martinez looking down at him with a gun. This was an interesting episode and it is good to see The Governor in a different light.
Last time, Rick threw Carol out of the group.Now, Rick is on his way back to the prison. Hershel is helping the sick. One of them has died. Glenn is stuck inside with them also. Rick arrives back and people want to know where Carol is. Hershel tells Rick what has been happening while he was gone. The walkers start to take over and they attack Hershel. Rick is outside and he hears a gunshot inside the prison. They need to strengthen the outside fence as the walkers are pushing on it. Hershel tries to fight against the walkers. The fence gives way to the walkers and the start to stream in. Rick and Carl are stuck.
They manage to keep the walkers under control, but it won't last. Maggie saves Hershel from the walkers. Daryl and the others come back from their run and Daryl asks Rick about Carol. He doesn't say anything to him yet. There is someone watching the prison from afar. Who is it? It's The Governor and he is looking mean....It is good to see The Governor back. He is a good character and it will make things more interesting!
In 1971, Fiona talks to the then supreme Anna-Leigh(Christine Ebersole) about her powers. She tells her that she will be the next supreme no matter what. When Anna-Leigh tells her that she will never be, she slits her throat. The butler, Spalding(Denis O' Hare) sees all. Cut to present day and there are new neighbours. Zoe, Nan and Queenie look on as their new neighbour, Luke(Alexander Dreymon) and his mother Joan(Pattit LuPone) move in. Nan and Madison go to visit them with a cake. Joan does not like Madison and she tells them to get out when she sees Madison flirting with her son. Zoe goes to see Kyle's mother and they talk about him. His mother tells her that she really misses him and is lost without him. Zoe thinks that she should bring Kyle to her to help her. She goes to see Misty Day who doesn't want to give him up. She eventually does. Zoe takes him back to his mother not knowing that she was having a very dodgy relationship with her son.
Cordelia goes to Marie Laveau to try and get some help as she can't get pregnant. Laveau laughs in her face. Fiona begins to realise that Madison is getting powerful and she thinks that she will be the next supreme. She decides to be her mentor. Kyle kills his mother when she tries to come on to him. Zoe sees what he has done. Queenie and La Laurie are talking when the slave Bastien shows up outside. LaLaurie thinks that he has come for her. Queenie goes out to him. Fiona murders Madison because she thinks that she is going to try and take her place as the next supreme. Spalding sees all but he is a mute so her secret is safe. Good episode!
Last time, Rick had discovered that Carol had killed two people who were going to turn and she had burned them and dragged them outside. He and Carol head off to get supplies and he is thinking about what she did. Carol tries to make Rick see sense and tells him that she did what she had to, but he is not so sure. They look through houses and meet two young people who tell them that they have only been in the house for a couple of days. They are both injured and Carol helps them. They want to go with Rick and Carol back to the prison. Rick doesn't know if they should because of the sickness that is there.He eventually agrees to let them come back but tells them to go look for supplies. He gives them a gun and tells them to shoot it if they get stuck. Meanwhile, Daryl and the others are looking for transport. Tyreese is still angry over what happened and he lets out a load of walkers who had been locked up. The group have to fight and Michonne tells Tyreese to calm down and get on with it.
Carol and Rick both see the survivors that they met earlier and they are both dead and being eaten by walkers.Rick and Carol talk about what she did and he thinks that she was wrong and tells her so. He also tells her that she has to leave the group. She can't believe that he is kicking her out, but he tells her that Tyreese will want revenge on her and the others won't like what she did. She thinks that she can handle Tyreese but Rick doesn't want here there so she accepts that she has to go it alone. He gives her some supplies and a car and leaves her. I did not see that coming and I am not sure that that is a good move for the group. I can see why Rick thought he had to kick her out, but the group needs strong people especially now that people are dropping like flies.I didn't like that plot development but we will see.I suppose that Carol will pop back up somewhere along the line...
Last episode, there were two charred corpses in the prison yard. This episode begins with Tyreese angry that his girlfriend was dragged out and set alight. He talks to Rick and Daryl about and it and he gets violent. Rick takes his down and gives him a beating. Hershel talks to Rick about the flu situation and he tells him that it is getting worse. They need to have a meeting and see what there is to do. Sasha begins to get sick and has to go to isolation. The meeting the next day ends with the agreement that medicine is needed to treat the symptoms of the flu. There is an animal hospital close by and there might be some antibiotics there.
The sick are herded into one of the cell blocks under quarantine. Glenn is beginning to get sick too.
Tyreese wants Rick to find the killer of Karen and he is determined to get whoever did it. Rick wonders who it was. Daryl, Tyreese and Michonne head off to get the medicine supplies in a car. Hershel tries to help the sick in isolation. The group in the car hear a garbled message about sanctuary and as they try and hear more, they are confronted by masses of walkers. They surround the car. Daryl has to try and get out of their path. They have to abandon their car and head off on foot.
Rick and Carol talk and he tells her that he knows that she would do anything to protect the group and he also asks her if she was the one who killed Karen. She replies that she was and walks away. There is something more going to happen there I would say. Rick is left wondering about Carol. An interesting episode. I think that Carol has turned into a tough character who will do anything to protect the ones she cares about. I am eagerly awaiting the next episode!
Last time, we saw one of the young kids get sick and collapse on the floor and die. This episode begins with that same kid who has come back as a walker. He begins to attack people, turning them into the undead also. The walkers are coming together and attacking everyone from inside the prison so the survivors have to kill their friends.
They discover that there is some disease killing some of the people and it is like a flu virus. The animals are not immune to it either. They had a pig and it died too. They realise that they have to separate those who have contracted the deadly virus and those who are healthy. Carol has to kill one of the survivors who has been bitten and she promises to take care of his two young daughters. Michonne seems to have a softer side as she and Beth chat about loss and Michonne is brought to tears by little Judith, suggesting that something tragic had happened in her life before this.
Someone is throwing dead rats at the fence and this is drawing the walkers closer and closer. They converge on the fence and almost knock it over. There is somebody working against the group and it seems that there might be an inside man.Rick lures them away from the fence by slaughtering his piglets.
Carl and Rick chat and Rick begins to strap on his gun again. Carl has his gun too as things are getting messy. Tyreese discovers that his sick girlfriend and another survivor are dead. They have been dragged outside and set alight...
Good episode. It seems that there is someone in the camp who is working against the survivors which is interesting. This flu virus seems set to wipe out a lot of the survivors so I wonder how long will it be before it is just the core gang again!
It's finally back! The new season of The Walking Dead begins and we are back with Rick and company.
Things have changed since the last time we saw them. They are growing their own food now and they even have a pig! The new people have settled in with Rick and the others and they are working as a team.
The walkers are coming in waves and they come to the fence. They are all spiked in the head by the group but there is no let up. Michonne is looking for The Governor who has disappeared. She comes back to the prison to visit with the survivors.Rick doesn't have his gun with him anymore. He is trying to set an example for Carl who was getting involved in the killing last season.
Rick is out in the woods when he meets an Irish woman called Clara(Kerry Condon) who is looking for food for her husband who she says is weak. Rick is suspicious of her as she seems very dodgy. He lets her lead him back to her camp where he realises that her husband is a walker and she wanted to let him eat Rick. He is not happy with her but she stabs herself so that she can turn into a walker too and be with her husband. Rick is horrified and leaves them. Elsewhere, Daryl and some others go to a supermarke to get supplies. There are a load of walkers on the roof which collapses on top of them. They have to fight their way through the walkers who are falling in on top of them. They lose a man in the fight. A young man called Patrick is not feeling well back at the prison. He goes into the shower and as he is standing under the water, he collapses and dies. It seems that there is some virus spreading around...
A good episode. The series is going to have to take a new direction I suppose as they can't just stay in the prison. I am looking forward to see what happens from here!
Well, there are so many TV shows on at the moment that it is hard to decide what to watch. We watch a lot of TV and some of the shows are crap and others are very good. I like a good story and good characters. The first show that we like is Dexter. It is based on a series of books by Jeff Lindsay and it began in 2006. There have been seven seasons so far and the final season begins soon.
The main character is Dexter Morgan played by Michael C Hall who is a bloodstain pattern analyst who works for Miami Metro Police. He is very good at his job and very clever. He was adopted by a cop called Harry Morgan(James Remar) who found him at the scene of his mother's murder and took him in. He still talks to Harry who appears as an advisor throughout the series even though he is dead.His sister is Debra Morgan played by Jennifer Carpenter and she is a cop too. She is foul mouthed and is a tomboy. She dresses like a guy most of the time and can be tough when she wants to be. The only gripe I would have about her is that Carpenter is way too skinny but that's just my opinion. Dexter works with another analyst Vince Masuka played by C.S.Lee. He is a pervert and is always talking about sex but is harmless. Angel Batista is played by David Zayas and he is a detective at Miami Metro. He is a good cop and he is good friends with Dexter and Debra. He is divorced and he misses the company of women and confesses to be lonely.Lieutenant LaGuerta is played by Lauren Velez is a no nonsense woman who will do anything to further her career. She does not like Debra and wants to keep her down. She likes Dexter.
The first season, Dexter is working away at his job but we find out that he is a serial killer who disposes of those evil people who the police cannot get. He takes them and secures them to a table with plastic wrap and then stabs them through the chest with a knife. He disposes of them in the sea. He
has a boat and that comes in handy for his dumping of bodies.He chops the victims up and throws their bodies in the water thus getting rid of the evidence. Of course, the bodies are found and the cops have an investigation on their hands. Dexter has a girlfriend called Rita(Julie Benz) and she has two children, Cody and Astor who Dexter gets on well with. He is with her in the beginning as a front. He needs to appear normal to the outside world. He has little feelings for her but after a while, he begins to like her and they marry. She is totally oblivious to his serial killing and she never discovers it. She wonders where he goes off to at night when he is hunting victims, but she is never suspicious of him killing.
The series always has one bad guy who Dexter is trying to get. In season 1, it is The Ice Truck Killer who turns out to be Dexter's brother and whom he kills. The cops find his bodies in the second season and they begin the search for the Bay Harbour Butcher, not knowing that Dexter is him! Dexter has a nemesis at the police station called James Doakes(Erik King) and he suspects that Dexter is not as innocent as he seems. He follows him around and eventually discovers the truth. Dexter has to get rid of him so he makes Doakes look like he is the Bay Harbour Butcher and he gets killed in an explosion so nobody learns about Dexter's secret. Season Three,Dexter finds a friend Miguel Prado(Jimmy Smits) who is an assistant DA and who shares Dexter's dark impulses. He wants to kill bad guys too. Dexter and Miguel become close friends until he crosses him and Dexter murders him. He also gets married to Rita in this season.
Season Four starred John Lithgow as serial killer Trinity. He was really good in the part as the creepy Arthur Mitchell. He has a family who he terrorises and he meets Dexter and they become pals until he realises that Dexter is out to get him. He kills Rita as revenge and Dexter murders Arthur. Arthur was a very clever man and it was hard for Dexter to get him. He was an even match for him and it was a very good season with the cat and mouse games they played with each other. Lithgow played the part very well. Rita had a baby with Dexter called Harrison and now Dexter has to be a single father to him and Rita's other two children.They eventually leave to live with their grandparents. Season Five finds Dexter rescuing a woman called Lumen(Julia Stiles) from a group of rapists. He finds her when he murders a man and she is his captive. She thinks that he is out to hurt her, but he doesn't kill her. He takes her away from there and she tells him what happened to her. She was a victim of rape by a group of men who like to film their antics. Then they give the women to a creepy sanitation worker who kills them. Dexter kills him and then he and Lumen get the other guys in the group one by one. The hardest one to get is a guy called Jordan Chase(Jonny Lee Miller) who is the head of the rape ring. Dexter and Lumen become very close and he is sorry when she leaves after killing all of the men who hurt her.
Season Six was very good and it revolved around killers called the Doomsday Killers. They are two guys who kill to bring about the Apocalypse. They are Travis Marshall(Colin Hanks) and Professor Gellar (Edward James Olmos) and they work together creating scenes from the Bible.Dexter finds Travis and he tries to get him to turn against Gellar as he thinks that Gellar is the brains of the outfit. He doesn't realise that Travis has killed Gellar and has been seeing him in hallucinations and he believes that he is still alive. He kills Travis but is caught by Debra who cannot believe what she is seeing..Season Seven sees Debra struggling with the news that her brother is a serial killer. She helps him cover up the murder of Travis Marshall but LaGuerta is suspicious and starts investigations. She is also trying to bring up the Doakes case to prove his innocence. Dexter meets a woman called Hannah McKay(Yvonne Strahovski) who has a dodgy past and they become lovers. She tries to poison Debra though and that is the end of their relationship as Dexter gets her put in prison. She escapes though and he whereabouts are unknown.Laguerta discovers the truth about Dexter and wants Debra to kill him but Debra shoots her instead. That brings us to the 8th season which will be starting the end of June. It should be a great finale I hope.
The series is very good and Hall is great as the main character. I like Dexter and his double life is interesting. He is a clever guy who takes care of the baddies who the cops can't touch. I like his sense of justice and he has had some close shaves where he got into trouble. I think that he will have to be found out sometime and I am not sure if they will end the series with him going to prison but I think that it would be better if he continues on his path. There were some really good actors in this. I liked Jimmy Smits, John Lithgow and Colin Hanks not to mention Jonny Lee Miller as the creepy Jordan Chase. It is a great TV series and I recommend it to anyone. I am just waiting for the next season! I hope you liked my quick synopsis of the show. Obviously, I don't have time to go into every storyline so this is just a fraction of what happens! Watch the series if you haven't seen it and you will enjoy it...
In the last episode, Michonne had left Woodbury and Rick heard the telephone ring in the prison.
This episode begins with Merle and his crew looking for Michonne in the woods. She manages to kill two of his companions and Merle chases her. Cut back to the prison and Rick is talking on the phone to a woman.She won't tell him where she is. Rick wants to join her group of survivors. He then talks to a guy on the phone and he tries to find out where they are. He tells Hershel about the phone call. Meanwhile, Merle finds Michonne and they fight. He can't get the better of her although he does wound her. He tells his last man to stop going after her and let her off. His man won't stop so Merle shoots him. Merle thinks that the walkers will get Michonne so he heads back to Woodbury. Michonne struggles on and she is covered in walker blood. The walkers pass her by and she realises that she is safe if she is covered in their blood.
Rick gets another phone call and this time they know his name.Michonne has reached town and she sees Maggie and Glenn as they are looking for baby formula. She hides.Merle catches them and he takes them back to Woodbury. They tell him that Daryl is still alive. Meanwhile, Rick is talking to the person on the phone. It turns out to be his dead wife. He realises that he is having some sort of breakdown. Merle arrives back in Woodbury and he tells the Governor about them. In the prison, Daryl hears noises and he goes to investigate. He finds a wounded Carol still alive. Michonne stumbles to the prison. She has the baby formula with her. Rick sees her...
Last episode, we saw T-Dog die and Carol go missing and Lori died in childbirth. Rick is in pieces after he realises what has happened. This episode begins with Andrea enjoying her time in Woodbury but Michonne wants to leave. The Governor has a walker with him but it is a little girl. We find out that it is his daughter. Michonne watches him. Meanwhile at the prison Rick is in shock. Maggie and Daryl go to find some baby formula. Rick takes his anger out on the walkers and slashes his way through loads of them.Back in the town, Michonne is increasingly unhappy with what she sees. She thinks that the Governor is not as nice as he seems. She gets her sword back and she looks around. There are walkers locked up for research and she lets them out and kills them. The Governor is not happy with her. He wants her to stay and join the research team but she pulls her sword on him and it is obvious that she is not going to be joining him.
The Governor tries to get Andrea to talk to Michonne and make her see reason but Andrea can't convince her to stay. Andrea decides to go with her. They are preparing to go when Andrea changes her mind and decides to stay in the town.Michonne has to head off on her own. The Governor is very happy that Andrea is staying. Daryl and Maggie manage to find baby formula and supplies which they bring back to the prison. Daryl gives the baby her first feed. That night, Andrea and the rest of the town sit down to a fight where Merle and some of his buddies fight with walkers who have had their teeth removed so they can't bite. Andrea doesn't like it. Back in the prison, Rick is surprised when a telephone rings.. He picks it up...
A very good episode. I like the way that everything is being set up for a confrontation eventually. The two camps will meet and then there will be sides chosen, I'd say!
This episode begins with an unknown person putting down fresh meat to lure the walkers. Cut to the two prisoners who Rick and company left in a section of the prison. They can't stand being inside there any longer and they want to join Rick's group. Rick and the others don't want them. Meanwhile, Michonne is having a look at the army jeep that the Governor and his crew brought back after they murdered the army guys last week. She notices that there are bullet holes in it and she realises that the walkers might not be the only killers around.She talks to the Governor and he has an excuse for everything.
In the prison Hershel is able to get up and walk around. He goes outside to see the others. In the other camp, Michonne and Andrea talk about leaving. Michonne wants to get out of there as she thinks that there is something funny going on. Back at the prison, Lori, Hershel and Carl are ambushed by walkers and they have to get away. The others run to help them. They go back inside but T-Dog is bitten on the shoulder by a walker. It turns out that someone has opened the gates and let the walkers in to the prison. Who was it? Rick assumes it was the two prisoners.Someone has also set off the siren and the walkers are coming from everywhere. At this time, Lori is with Maggie and Carl and she tells them that the baby is coming.
In the other camp, Merle and Andrea chat about Daryl and she tells him all she knows. He goes to talk to the Governor about it and he tells him that he wants to go and find his brother. The Governor tells him that he needs him at the camp and he doesn't want him to leave. Lori, meanwhile,is about the give birth.
T-Dog sacrifices himself to save Carol in the prison and he gets eaten by walkers. One of the prisoners inside attacks Rick and tries to kill him, but the other one saves his life. Lori tells Maggie that she will have to perform a c-section on her and this will mean operating. Maggie doesn't want to do it, but Lori tells her that the baby needs to survive. She does so and Lori says a tearful goodbye to Carl. She dies of blood loss but Carl has to put a bullet in her to make sure that she will not return as a walker. The baby is fine and Maggie takes it away. She and Carl go outside where Rick and the and the others are and he realises what has happened.
A very good episode with loads happening. It was sad when Lori died,but her character annoyed me so much that I was glad to see the back of her. T-Dog was a good character and it was a pity for him to die, but it does move the story along so that is good!
