Huge changes are coming in The Walking Dead– bigger changes than any fan could have anticipated. The show’s latest episode marked the highly publicised swansong of Rick Grimes. Titled “What Comes After,” this instalment – the fifth of season nine – picked up immediately where last week’s left off: our hero impaled on a spike amid a horde of hungry walkers. Given he’s been the show’s star throughout the past nine years, Andrew Lincoln’s departure is a pretty game-changing moment for this series. While he may have left The Walking Dead, former showrunner Scott Gimple made it clear that Grimes’s story is not over and will be further explored in a trilogy of big-budget films for AMC–the first of several projects featuring characters from within the universe. With that in mind, this episode was perhaps the most vital in Walking Dead history, featuring the end of an era as well as the … [Read more...] about Five biggest twists from The Walking Dead season 9, episode 5

Game of Thrones: Mother’s Mercy, season 5, episode 10, review: ‘powerful and sad’
Hands up if you thought this season of Game of Thrones – like season three – would end on a happy note? Or even on a bittersweet note, like season four? If so, more fool you. After treating us to the (literally and figuratively) uplifting vision of Emilia Clarke’s Daenerys escaping on a dragon in the previous episode, the programme-makers clearly decided we’d had quite enough happiness and exhilaration, and instead decided to end season five in the bleakest way possible: on a lingering shot of a murdered Jon Snow (Kit Harington), eyes frozen open, surrounded by a growing pool of dark blood. True, this probably isn’t the last we’ll see of Jon (he’s far too significant a character), but, while the return of Melisandre (Carice van Houten) to the Wall was certainly intriguing, the episode gave us no hint of resurrection for Jon; no flickering eyelids, no sudden magic or mystery, no whisper of an escape. All we got was stark, dead Snow. A group of … [Read more...] about Game of Thrones: Mother’s Mercy, season 5, episode 10, review: ‘powerful and sad’
Westworld Season Two guide and everything else you need to know
It's been a while since the first season of HBO'S hit sci-fi series Westworld, subtitled 'The Maze', premiered in the summer of 2016 to much acclaim and fanfare.

Why Andrew Lincoln’s departure is a death knell for The Walking Dead
Nobody could have anticipated the phenomenon The Walking Dead would become when it aired its modest six-episode debut back in 2010. Eight years on and it's spawned just as many seasons with a ninth (and counting) to come filled with characters up there in the cultural familiarity stakes alongside those from Game of Thrones, Lost and Breaking Bad. Today (30 May) saw the bombshell news that its lead star Andrew Lincoln will be phased out of the show during the next season. Quite how this will occur remains to be seen, but he'll appear in just six of the run's 16 episodes with Norman Reedus' fan favourite Daryl Dixon promoted to main character duties in his absence. This news is a lot for fans to take in and simply put, should spell the end of the AMC zombie series. Full disclosure: I am a loyal follower of The Walking Dead who has been slightly disconcerted by the series' recent evolution into a punching bag for … [Read more...] about Why Andrew Lincoln’s departure is a death knell for The Walking Dead
