Fear the Walking Dead Bounty Hunter: Who Is Emile and What Is the Meaning of the Key?

Poor Morgan Jones has seen better days after being shot and left for dead in the Fear the Walking Dead season 5 cliffhanger, but he quickly learns in the season 6 premiere that the gangrene eating away at his flesh is the least of his worries. There’s an axe-wielding bounty hunter named Emile LaRoux (Demetrius Grosse) on his trail, hired to collect Morgan’s head for Virginia, who is too much of a coward to finish the job herself. Emile ends up being nothing more than a one-off villain meant to spark new life in Morgan, who had lost the will…

The Walking Dead: World Beyond Episode 2 Review – The Blaze of Gory

This The Walking Dead: World Beyond review contains spoilers. The Walking Dead: World Beyond Episode 2 The teens of The Walking Dead: World Beyond have been given all the tools necessary to survive in the world around them. They’ve grown up with weapons training, martial arts drills, and walker-killing lessons from people who know exactly what they’re doing and how to do it. With a teacher like Felix (Nico Tortorella), who has been killing empties and in charge of campus security for quite some time, it’d be hard not to pick up the tricks necessary. Iris (Aliyah Royale), the class…

Fear the Walking Dead: How Did Morgan Survive and Who Saved Him?

This Fear the Walking Dead article contains spoilers. If you’ve watched Fear the Walking Dead’s season 6 premiere, “The End is the Beginning,” you’d be forgiven for experiencing a bit of déjà vu during Morgan’s return. Fear the Walking Dead is fond of killing off its protagonists—Madison, Nick, and Travis immediately spring to mind. So it was reasonable to assume that the events of last season’s finale, “End of the Line” spelled certain doom for Morgan. But as it turns out, being grievously wounded and left for dead as walkers slowly drew closer was not enough to end Morgan’s journey.…

Fear the Walking Dead Season 6 Episode 1 Review: The End Is the Beginning

This Fear the Walking Dead review contains spoilers. Fear the Walking Dead Season 6 Episode 1 After everything the world has endured these last several months, it just doesn’t seem productive to harp on what did or didn’t work about last season. I’m even willing to give John Dorie’s San Antonio Split a pass at this point. If anything, we’re lucky we have anything new to watch at all, especially with some series being outright canceled because they’re too difficult to produce in the age of Covid-19. With that being said, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked…

How Fear the Walking Dead Season 6 Changed Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic

Back in February, I visited the set of Fear the Walking Dead in Austin, TX as the cast and crew were filming season 6, which is set to premiere on Oct. 11 on AMC. Nobody on set that cold, wet day had any idea that, just a few weeks later, the entire production would be shut down due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Speaking to Den of Geek on a Zoom call ahead of the Fear the Walking Dead season 6 premiere, the show’s cast reflected on how the production changed in midst of the pandemic and how this new, real-world…

Selena: Release Date and Trailer for Netflix Series with The Walking Dead’s Christian Serratos

Popular-music-focused dramatizations have found new life, thanks to recent cinematic offerings like Bohemian Rhapsody and Rocketman, with many more currently on the industry docket. It’s a notion that Netflix might have taken into consideration with a television project it just unveiled, set to chronicle the story of Selena Quintanilla-Pérez, the 1990s-era Mexican-American crossover pop sensation whose rise was tragically cut short upon being murdered by her friend and agent. The Walking Dead‘s Christian Serratos temporarily put aside the zombie apocalypse to star on the Netflix television offering, titled Selena: The Series. The show is being released in “parts” (rather than seasons),…

The Walking Dead: World Beyond Civic Republic and Three Rings Explained

The following contains spoilers for The Walking Dead: World Beyond episode 1. Way back in the tenth episode of The Walking Dead’s sixth season, Paul Rovia a.k.a. Jesus (Tom Payne) made a promise to Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln).  “You’re world’s about to get a whole lot bigger,” the Messianic-appearing figure said. And it did not take long for Jesus’s promise to bear fruit. Rick Grimes’s world did get bigger with the introduction of the Hilltop Colony, The Kingdom, Oceanside, and even The Sanctuary.  Since that moment, the world of The Walking Dead has only continued to grow. That growth reaches…

The Walking Dead: World Beyond Episode 1 Review – Brave

This The Walking Dead: World Beyond review contains spoilers. The Walking Dead: World Beyond Episode 1 Growing up is never easy, but growing up in a world where safety is clustering behind walls with a few hundred other people and visiting the next town over might involve a helicopter trip or a dangerous days-long trek through walker-infested wilderness is something else entirely. It’s been a decade since the Night the Sky Fell on The Walking Dead: World Beyond, and since then, Iris (Aliyah Royale) and her sister Hope (Alexa Mansour) have grown up in the relative safety and normalcy of…

What Is the Song in The Walking Dead Season 10 Finale?

As the Whisperers breach the hospital and the walkers chew on what’s left of poor Beatrice, Daryl and the rest make their way to a wagon waiting for them on the…

The Walking Dead Season 10 Episode 16 Review: A Certain Doom

This The Walking Dead review contains spoilers. The Walking Dead Season 10 Episode 16 The Walking Dead has, occasionally, taken some heat for its special effects. For some, the problem is the practical effects, because they look a little too good for the comfort of some. For others, the issue is the CGI effects, because they have looked a little less than stellar at times. Remember the CGI deer? If not, don’t worry, no one will let you forget it. Special effects take money, time, and expertise to pull off well, and, as it turns out, the coronavirus delay was…

The Walking Dead: Connie’s Return Explained

The Walking Dead season 10 finale, “A Certain Doom,” finally answered one of the season’s biggest questions: did Connie survive her run-in with the Whisperers and their walker horde earlier in the season? The final minutes of the massive episode that brought the communities’ war with the Whisperers to an end reintroduced the missing character, stumbling through the woods in a daze until she found Virgil.

The Walking Dead: Beta’s Death Explained

This Walking Dead article contains spoilers. When it came to the Whisperers, Alpha was the leader, the planner, the brains of the operation, and Beta was her muscle. If The Walking Dead were an action movie, Beta would be the henchman that has to be dispatched before the hero confronts the real boss. But The Walking Dead, for all of the killing and fighting involved, isn’t an action movie. As Alpha learned earlier this year, the best way to kill the body is to take out the head. It works for walkers, and it works, eventually, for the Whisperers. With…

How The Walking Dead: World Beyond Expands the Zombie Universe with Its Unique Teen Characters

After its premiere was delayed by several months due to COVID-19, the two-season The Walking Dead spinoff series The Walking Dead: World Beyond finally makes its debut this week. The story expands the TWD universe in a unique way, taking place 10 years after the zombie outbreak and focusing on a predominantly teenage cast of characters.

The Walking Dead vs. Real-Life Survivalists: How to Prep for The Zombie Apocalypse

According to a 2019 YouGov poll, 14% of Americans have a zombie apocalypse plan of some sort. Even the CDC provides zombie apocalypse advice, including having one gallon of water per person per day, stocking up on food, and choosing a rallying point for family members should everyone get separated in the mad rush for safety. That concept of preparedness has infiltrated popular culture like a walker in an unguarded camp thanks to The Walking Dead and other pieces of zombie media. Being ready for whatever life throws your way is no longer just for paranoid, reclusive mountain men.  The…

What The Walking Dead Daryl and Carol Spinoff Will Be About

Although AMC’s flagship zombie drama is in its endgame now, it hardly feels like a true ending for The Walking Dead universe. After all, the 11th and final season of the series will make way for a few other zombie projects to rise from the dead. One of these new projects is a spinoff starring Daryl (Norman Reedus) and Carol (Melissa McBride), two of The Walking Dead‘s most beloved characters and the only two survivors left from the show’s very first season. The untitled spinoff will once again be helmed by current Walking Dead showrunner Angela Kang, which suggests that…
