By The Lady Cocotte After a long winter break, the mid-season premiere of The Walking Dead is really here! The first half of the season was undeniably rough. The Alexandrians lost everything: their friends, their power and their will to fight. But tonight is when they turn all of that around and start kicking some […]
Catch Up Before Sunday’s Mid-Season Premiere of The Walking Dead
By The Lady Cocotte For some people, Valentine’s Day is all about flowers and chocolate. Me? I just want zombies. Well, I’m a lucky girl because it’s finally time for The Walking Dead mid-season premiere! To celebrate, AMC is running a marathon to get you prepped for Sunday. Or you can just reread the “best […]
The Walking Dead: Hearts Still Beating
By The Lady Cocotte No matter how much I pretend it’s not the mid-season finale of The Walking Dead, I can’t avoid it any longer. It’s really here. This whole season has been about surviving Negan. Some people will do anything to avoid his anger, others want to fight him, but they’re all his prisoners […]
The Walking Dead: Sing Me A Song
By The Lady Cocotte Things are ramping up in Alexandria as we near the mid-season finale of The Walking Dead (TWD-minus one week). Tara came home without Heath to find out her girlfriend (Dr Denise) and best friend (Glenn) were murdered by the Saviors. The Alexandrians must toe-the-line in order to keep Negan from killing […]
The Walking Dead: Swear
By The Lady Cocotte There’s been so much going on in The Walking Dead universe this season that I completely forgot we have some people unaccounted for. Last season, after the Alexandrians took out the Savior bunker (and thought they’d taken care of their Negan problem), Tara and Heath left on a scavenger mission. […]
The Walking Dead: Go Getters
By The Lady Cocotte Get your red-handled machete and katana sword ready, it’s time for another episode of The Walking Dead! Our group of resolute walker killers have become a little fractured this season. While Carol and Morgan are living the high life in the Kingdom (or, in Carol’s case, there but not there), […]
The Walking Dead: Service
By The Lady Cocotte It’s certainly been an emotional season of The Walking Dead so far. Last week we got to experience a little taste of life at the Savior’s sanctuary. Dwight was seemingly enjoying life as a big shot but we eventually discovered it was all a facade. Negan stole his wife and continually […]
The Walking Dead: The Cell
By The Lady Cocotte After a traumatic season premiere of the Walking Dead, last week was a breath of fresh air. We followed Carol and Morgan to the Kingdom and were introduced to King Ezekiel and his pet tiger Shiva. It felt good to smile again. And hope. Hope felt good. Well, tonight we […]
The Walking Dead Recap: The Well
By The Lady Cocotte I know a lot of you were seriously traumatized after last week’s The Walking Dead. It was a rough one. Probably the most brutal episode we’ve seen. Rick and his crew were broken, literally and figuratively. Those of us along for the ride were collateral damage. But there’s always hope. Hope […]
The Walking Dead: The Day Will Come When You Won’t Be
By The Lady Cocotte It felt like an eternity but it’s finally time for The Walking Dead season 7 premiere! The last we saw the Alexandrians, they had been captured by the Saviors, forced to kneel in front of Negan (that’s kind of his thing) and been informed they now worked for him. To […]
The Walking Dead Premiere You’ve All Been Waiting For Is Tonight!
It’s finally time for season seven of The Walking Dead! All of you, um, dead heads?, are dying to know who is going to die. That makes it a very good time to read back through the recaps from last season for clues and to refresh your memory. We haven’t had an episode since April! […]
The Walking Dead recap: Last Day on Earth
By Contributing Writer, The Lady Cocotte This is it. Now matter how much I’ve tried to pretend it’s not true, tonight really is the season finale of The Walking Dead. When Rick decided to start butchering Saviors, Maggie warned him it was going to cost something. Tonight is when they start paying, in blood. […]
The Walking Dead Recap: East
By Contributing Writer, The Lady Cocotte Easter Sunday seems like a fitting time for a new episode of The Walking Dead (what with all the resurrection and everything). Last week Carol left Tobin (and all of Alexandria, really) a Dear John letter as she fled town. Before her escape is noticed, it seems like […]
The Walking Dead Recap: Twice As Far
By Contributing Writer, Lady Cocotte As we near the season finale of The Walking Dead, tension is ramping up. The Alexandrians survived their attack on the Saviors. Carol and Maggie fought their way back home. Things have gone back to normal. People are back to their daily grind. Olivia open the supply shed. Father Gabriel […]
The Walking Dead Recap: The Same Boat
By Contributing Writer Lady Cocotte Last week The Walking Dead ended on quite a cliffhanger. The Alexandrians’ victory party over the Saviors was rudely interrupted when they found out that a) they didn’t get ALL of the Saviors and b) those remaining Saviors had taken Maggie and Carol hostage. Big oops. Tonight we backtrack to […]
The Walking Dead Recap: Not Tomorrow Yet
By Contributing Writer Lady Cocotte Desperate housewife Carol has made a reappearance on The Walking Dead. Blissfully unaware of Rick and Maggie’s promise to kill Negan and the Saviors, she shops for food items no one else wants (water chestnuts, beets, etc). She collects acorns in the forest and tut tuts the walker blood on […]
The Walking Dead Recap: Knots Untie
By Guest Contributor The Lady Cocotte On last week’s The Walking Dead, Jesus rudely interrupted Rick and Michonne’s post-coital snuggling. What kind of damage will he inflict tonight? He wanders around Rick’s house, touching stuff. He takes a moment to ponder some art and Carl points a gun at his head. “What the hell are […]
The Walking Dead Recap: The Next World
By Contributing Writer, Lady Cocotte In my household, Sunday means one thing: a new episode of The Walking Dead! After last week’s rip roaring mid-season premiere I’m dying to see where they take us tonight. We start off at Rick’s house. Rick is getting suited up. Judith is playing. Michonne, in a towel and robe, […]
The Walking Dead Recap: No Way Out
By Contributing Writer Lady Cocotte The mid-season premiere of The Walking Dead is finally here! Best Valentine’s present ever! The last we saw our friends, they were under siege by hundreds of walkers. The gates of Alexandria were breached and anyone who was lucky enough to make it into a house was trapped. The wolf […]
