Talking to
@DanaiGurira
was a highlight of my career, not just because of my love for
#TWD
, but because I got to teach her what the “woman in refrigerator” trope means. Read my interview with her on
#TheOnesWhoLive
Episode 4 here:
@WalkingDead_AMC
I’ve seen the first half of
#HouseoftheDragon
Season 2, and while I’ll have much more to expand on in my upcoming episodic reviews, I’ll say that Team Green is surprisingly the more interesting storyline to follow. Tom Glynn-Carney is one to look out for this season.
seeing how the best part of
#thewalkingdead
finale was rick and michonne coming back, it definitely makes sense that
#fearthewalkingdead
needs to bring back alicia. we all need a clark reunion to heal our hearts
The flashback scenes of the outbreak in Paris is one of the highlights of
#DarylDixon
. I spoke to the director and DP of the series on shooting that sequence, along with their inspirations for the show’s style.

If you don’t already know,

’s sets are incredibly gorgeous from start to finish. Last week I got to talk to production designer Clovis Weil on turning France into an apocalyptic land overrun by the dead.
@WalkingDead_AMC
Talking with
@feliciaday
about her
@audible_com
series
#ThirdEye
was one of the most fun interviews of my career. It was great talking to someone who is so passionate about their work & has a deep appreciation for storytelling in all art forms.
And yes, I’m a bit disappointed in Team Black’s storyline so far. I’m blaming a lack of focus as the season slightly fails to balance a few different storylines at once.
It’s time to say goodbye to Morgan Jones.
@FearTWD
Lennie James and I talked about his departure in
#FearTWD
8x06 & what it’s been like exploring Morgan’s rollercoaster of a journey (and yes, Rick Grimes)
I recently got to attend a roundtable interview with select members of
#TWD
ahead of the finale that will air this upcoming Sunday. Here’s what the cast had to say about the finale (SPOILERS: they couldn’t say anything)
If you ever have hundreds of hours of free time and think “Hey, maybe I should watch
#TheWalkingDead
shows in order” or just want to contextualize the timeline of everything, here’s a handy guide to help you get started:
#FearTWD
8x04 “King County” is the most anticipated episode of the season, bringing Morgan back to his roots in what could’ve been argued as a satisfying close to his arc. Here’s a recap if you missed it:
@FearTWD
Just a quick review of the three episodes I got to preview for
#FearTWD
Season 8: The final season shows A LOT of promise. An upgrade to Season 7, Fear may actually pull off a satisfying conclusion, and the time jump hits the reboot button the series needed.
I’m late sharing this, but I got to talk to
#TheWalkingDead
’s Annie herself, Medina Senghore, on 1122, “Faith.” I also asked if she was going to be in
#TWD
Dead City, but she cleverly dodged the question. We shall see…
“This is it for me.”
#FearTWD
It’s the end of the road for Lennie James as Morgan Jones in
#TheWalkingDead
universe, but he still has his story to complete in Season 8 of

is another attempt to pump blood into the franchise by recycling a character who might've been better off retired. But it may be the force majeure to keep the franchise floating, even if others want it to sink in the water. Read my review:
In honor of
#TheOnesWhoLive
approaching in a few weeks, here’s a timeline of Rick and Michonne’s relationship throughout the entirety of
#TWD
(because why not, you know?). Gotta love that slightly-enemies-to-friends-to-lovers arc!
very funny
#HouseoftheDragon
confirmed daeron targaryen exists as if there’s been any trace of evidence that he does besides otto saying “oh hey you got a kid in oldtown and he’s a good listener”
i’m not even joking when i say that i’m so desperate for a
#TWD
story right now that i would take another season of FTWD. i miss this zombie universe that gets people in a frenzy on this app.
It was great to talk to the cast of
#FearTWD
one last time! Kim Dickens, Jenna Elfman and I had a great convo on saying goodbye to the series and which characters they would’ve loved to bring back for the finale.
Drag is alive as ever in the zombie apocalypse! Last week I got to talk to
@The_Paloma_
on becoming Coco on
#DarylDixon
and what we might see of Coco in the future.
@WalkingDead_AMC
It’s the end of the road for
#FearTWD
, but it’s not clear where the road leads for some characters. When talking to the showrunners, we discussed where Victor Strand is heading in the future and leaving Troy Otto’s legacy with Madison and Alicia.
For her last episode of
#FearTWD
, I talked to
@KarenDavid
about (spoiler) Grace’s death and completing her long journey on the show. As sad it is to see Grace go, she had the proper send off she deserves
@FearTWD
For what it’s worth, I’m gonna miss being puzzled by this silly little show in every episode. Here’s my review of the series finale of
#FearTWD
(with only minor spoilers):
#TWDDarylDixon
is soon approaching, and I got to discuss the new spinoff with cast members Romain Levi (
@Romain_Levi
), Louis Puech Scigliuzzi and Anne Charrier on villains, walkers & entering the massive franchise in France
@WalkingDead_AMC
Last week I talked to Matthew August Jeffers about his experience on
#TheOnesWhoLive
, even just for one episode. He also gave an anecdote about how Danai Gurira helped him get into character, which proves we need these guys together on screen again.
#TWD
A main character meets their end in
#FearTWD
8x05, and June’s treatment isn’t exactly achieving the results that the survivors are hoping for. Here’s a spoiler-filled recap of the episode if you missed it:
@FearTWD
you know we’re soon approaching
#TheWalkingDead
’s final episodes when we got TONS of interviews coming in. i talked (and laughed) with ross marquand (
@RossMarquand
), seth gilliam, and josh hamilton about bringing TWD to a close and more!
#DeadCity

#TWD
franchise alive and better than ever, thanks to familiar faces and new.
Ahead of the premiere, I got to speak to newcomers Gaius Charles, Željko Ivanek & Mahina Napoleon (
@MahinaNapoleon
) about bringing
@WalkingDead_AMC
to NYC
Last week I got to talk to Zoey Merchant (Mo) about 8x04 of
#FearTWD
. We also chatted about how she prepared for her first big role, plus the most shocking moment from that episode
@FearTWD
The Commonwealth storyline brought out a new side of
#TheWalkingDead
with politics, courtroom drama, and smooth line-delivery. Here’s what select cast had to say about playing out the toned-down, yet thrilling aspect of the Commonwealth arc.
On Aemond Targaryen’s role in Season 2 of
#HouseoftheDragon
, Ewan Mitchell says that Aemond knows he made a mistake killing Lucerys and that he “idolizes Daemon to an extent.” Read more in my interview with him.
#TeamGreen
@HouseofDragon
while sad to see him go, i had the pleasure of talking to lance hornsby himself AKA josh hamilton last week about the complicated nature of lance’s relationships, arc and more!
#TheWalkingDead
So how about that
#TheOnesWhoLive
finale? I got to talk to
@LesleyAnnBrandt
and Terry O’Quinn once again about the “movie-like” episode, last minute character revelations, and getting to the bottom of the Echelon Briefing.
@WalkingDead_AMC
#TOWL
If
#TWD
fans are wondering what the Echelon Briefing is, they’re gonna have to wait a little longer. When discussing Jadis’ CRM transformation, Pollyanna McIntosh doesn’t spill anything, but it does seem like there are big implications for
#TheOnesWhoLive
don’t let my excitement for
#TWDDarylDixon
fool you cause I still think the full title of Season 2 being ‘The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon - The Book of Carol’ is the most obnoxious thing ever
My take on 802 of
#FearTWD
: While Jenna Elfman is (as always) a powerhouse, “cure” storylines in
#TWD
universe just don’t work. The Eugene storyline was executed well in Seasons 4 & 5 because it was obviously a lie, but this was never what made TWD stand out in the zombie genre.
@jeffreykopp97
agreed. i hated how the film looked during most of seasons 7-9 but honestly i miss how grounded it made the show feel during the early seasons. now it’s just trying to be too cinematic, and it doesn’t work most of the time
I missed tweeting out last week’s recap, but I couldn’t miss 1x05 of
#DeadCity
, which is probably one of my favorite of the episodes. Even with some hiccups, the series built up the plot twist nicely and gave supporting characters a chance to shine.
In case you missed it,
#FearTWD
8x03 had everything from PADRE’s origin story to two anticipated reunions with Madison. Check out a recap of
@FearTWD
’s latest episode:
Why are they making me wait until 2025 to see Hershel Jr's villain origin story in
#TheWalkingDead
#DeadCity
Season 2? I want it now.
Anyway, here's everything you need to know about Dead City Season 2. Look at that cast!
@WalkingDead_AMC
if i had a nickel for every time jeffrey dean morgan was as a hallucination to a character that has a brain tumor, i’d have two nickels. which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.
I think it would've been hilarious if
#TheWalkingDead
Dead City Season 2 used a subtitle like "The Book of Carol." "The Walking Dead: Dead City - The Return of Lucille" has a really long, nice ring to it.
Despite how rushed it feels,
#TheWalkingDead
is looking to go out with a bang, making sure the finale doesn’t leave a bad taste in fans mouths. Moments from the first 2 episodes of 11C alone are enough to make fans tear up from nostalgia (even if it is a little too on-the-nose).
Zip-lining while chasing a woman called “Pigeon Lady” is certainly giving
#DeadCity
its own brand. There’s also a villain called The Croat with a lengthy backstory so anything goes!
@WalkingDead_AMC
Here’s a recap of 1x02 of Dead City if you missed it:
if you have no idea why
#SecretInvasion
using AI for its opening credit sequence is a massive problem for the creative industry, i’ve got it summed up for you (along with some of my rants)
Nine years ago today, Nick Clark woke up in a Los Angeles drug den to find a world on the verge of being taken over by the dead.
The series premiere of “Fear the Walking Dead” aired on Sunday, August 23, 2015, introducing fans to the Clark family and the expanded TWDU!
#FearTWD
#TheWalkingDead
’s 11C is off to a great start in the first 2 episodes. The action & character moments are as strong as ever. However, I can’t help but think the Commonwealth storyline would benefited from another season entirely. Things move a bit too fast in so little time.
@jmwhitefiction
even though i’ve never shipped this couple i’ve always had a problem with the blatant ageism against carol… can’t women just simply live with gray hair?
@rhettmc
i expect a netflix original series in fall of 2018. critics say more irresistible than stranger things and just as suspenseful as black mirror.
“is that show still on?” every time a TWD show succeeds i gloat as if i personally created each and every one. i’ll even slightly smile for the questionable ones!

Working with

@GissaneSophia
, &
@jmwhitefiction
has not only made me a better writer, but has made me ENJOY writing professionally altogether. These three are an awesome bunch anyone would be lucky to work with. Wish you guys all the best!!
Not just because as I depart this job, they're doing so with me, but because working with them has been one of the greatest joys of my professional career.
@GissaneSophia
and
@jmwhitefiction
are the best editors, humans and friends I could have ever asked for.
This may be an unpopular opinion but I sadly did not expect
#TheOnesWhoLive
to be nominated for anything.
#TheWalkingDead
was never nominated for a major Emmy even at its height so I think there was very little chance AMC or the Academy had faith in it winning.
First round of
#HouseoftheDragon
Season 2 interviews with Steve Toussaint and Eve Best talking about why some men don’t pay attention to women. Someone get Corlys and Rhaenys some marriage counseling.
#TeamBlack
@HouseofDragon
@cocosrosita
as a fellow rosita stan, i wish there was more of her, but she gets a considerable amount of screen time considering there’s soooo many characters
rhaena rightfully gets a proper storyline in
#HouseOfTheDragon
episode 3 but it also feels weird we’ve almost NEVER spent time with her, and then BAM rhaenyra assigns her with one of the most integral tasks to protect the targaryens’ future
Now that I said my peace about Team Green’s story in
#HouseoftheDragon
Season 2, I must give it up to Team Black’s MVP: Emma D’Arcy. They command as Queen Rhaenyra in both the quiet and busy moments as the Blacks scramble for order. Their performance is truly breathtaking.
Watching
#HouseOfTheDragon
viewers fight over the changes from Fire & Blood is very entertaining cause most of y’all wouldn’t have survived
#TheWalkingDead
changing the entire comic story for TV (HotD fans please don’t come for me I have a family)
I was very excited to talk to Aaron Stanford about Pyro coming back for

and working in the MCU vs. Fox’s X-Men franchise. There��s even something here for 12 Monkeys fans!

for contributing to my coffee and

addiction with a little gift ☕️
@jeffreykopp97
it’s crazy to think new seasons of game of thrones used to release every year, with the exclusion of season 8. imagine we had to wait 2-3 years for each season… it’d probably still be airing!
My thoughts on
#TheOnesWhoLive
finale:
It hit every plot point I wanted in Rick & Michonne’s story, but unfortunately rushed to get there. I would’ve loved a few more episodes to feel fully satisfied by the end. But it’s not the type of ending to ruin the show for me.
