Monday Alcatraz – no new episode but I’ll probably finish the season out. Tuesday Justified – Johnny Crowder walks! Glad to see him out of the chair. Ava Crowder getting more play. A little upset they seem to be cutting down into Winona’s screen time (Natalie Zea), I had finally started liking her a bit. […]
My name is Alain and I will be a new voice here at ITB. I was screwed from the get-go: my parents took me to movies of any rating, were subscribers to premium cable, and both worked long hours.

Look, Walking Dead, we get it. The farm is a random, untouched sanctuary in the middle of piles and piles of dead bodies. Somehow things are quiet here, there is food aplenty (even if they wasted good chickens, which can feed you TWO ways, on zombies), and it’s as good a settlement as any. But […]
