A review of tonight's The Walking Dead coming up just as soon as I want to be the coffee beans...

Keep It Simple, Stupid isn't a rule that saves this show from its worse creative impulses, but this was clean and taut and a good showcase for Melissa McBride and guest star Alicia Witt as Paula. For budget reasons, the show sometimes has to pare things down in terms of both actors featured and the scope of the story to accommodate bigger episodes like the mid-season premiere; more often than not these days, »
