A Week Later Walker’s “Champagne Problems” was a vast departure from the hatred fueled feud that has driven the Walkers’ story this season. In fact, there was so much love, happiness and reconciliation in this episode, I watched the entire show with trepidation, waiting for the inevitable bomb, literally or figuratively to go off, ruining…
Sometimes a show takes a breath before the drama intensifies. “Champagne Problems” delivers this reprieve before setting up for drama ahead. With the heartwarming theme of “you show up for the people who mean something to you,” it was a time of healing and understanding what’s important to our characters… even if other characters aren’t…
We had a lot of joy in this episode—long overdue—as well as some problems from the past and character insights. I’m going to skip the recap and just cover what I liked—and what made me gnash my teeth. The Good Stuff Bonham and Abeline are so sweet! It’s rare and wonderful to see a mature…
While the champagne was there, Walker‘s “Champagne Problems” covered a lot more problems than that. This episode had a few different big plotlines going on and gave a decent amount of time to each of them. It could almost be said that there wasn’t really an A plot at all. While any one of the…
This review is going to be different from my usual discussions of characters. Instead, it’s going to follow the format of fellow reviewer, Gail. It will start with what I liked and loved about the episode, then give you the chance to stop before I discuss what I didn’t like.
Another really good episode, with only a couple of things that made me scratch my head. When the Walker writing team decides to kick it in the ass, they do a fine job! I’m going to skip a recap and just focus on what I liked and the stuff that pulled me out of the story.
The Morning After Walker’s 2.15 episode “Bygones” was sneaky. The case of the week was straightforward enough. Cordell and Cassie needed to work with Cordell’s undercover girlfriend on a sting operation. Nothing very unusual about that, except maybe feeling a bit like Cordell when the perp tested his knowledge of cryptocurrency. The veteran ranger could…
There were certainly a lot of “Bygones” handed out this week. I have a lot of thoughts about this one, especially regarding the ending scene, so I’m going to start off with the smaller plots and cover the main story after that. Let’s start with Trey, Larry, and August.
“A Little Slice of Kevin” is an odd duck. It’s clearly a continuation of “What’s Up, Tiger Mommy?” This time the writers are Brad Buckner and Eugenie Ross-Leming, and I did like this more than Dabb and Loflin’s episode 8.02. The issue is, it’s the seventh episode of a season that’s clearly getting off to…
“Everyone steps in it” is how a fellow watcher dubbed Walker’s 2.14 “No Such Thing As Fair Play.” And it’s fitting. Sometimes, even with the best intentions, people hurt those around them. You can sometimes make up your mistake quickly, like a few of the characters in this episode. Other times, the pain stays ……
What happens when people are at their lowest? A favorite theme of Walker, is that no matter how bad it gets, there are those that love and support you. But to highlight this theme, the characters have to go through rough patches. And, of course, a character that goes through many hard times in this…
Lots of twists and turns in this episode—that’s for sure! Once again I’m going to skip the recap and just dive into the stuff I really liked, and the parts that had me scratching my head.
