What happens when you’re pushed too far? This episode explores how being pushed to your limits tests your character. It also reveals the horrible truth that sometimes cheaters do win… but that sometimes good people refuse to lose their moral center, such as …
I have so many questions….do you? Like last time, I’m going to skip the recap and go right into what I liked, then cover what made me go, ‘Hmmmm….’ The Good Stuff Cordell Walker on a horse. Definitely a highlight of the episode.
So, I watched “What’s Up Tiger Mommy?” for the first time since it aired in season 8. Now I know why I didn’t watch this again. What a freaking mess. The bad title ended up being the least of the issues. Remember how the season premiere, “We Need to Talk About Kevin” felt very disjointed? …
“Boundaries” was well-named, as the characters dealt a lot with personal, professional, and tangible lines. Plenty of action and surprises, and some interesting changes for several characters. I have a lot of opinions, so this week I’m going to skip the recap to keep the length down, and go straight to reactions. If you need…
In a way, boundaries help define. Walker‘s 2.11 episode “Boundaries” did a wonderful job showing more about the characters and what defines them. Not only by how they set boundaries, but also how they set, push, reinforce and negotiate those boundaries. One who was defined even more in this episode was …
The Morning After “Threads” is back! Sorry for my absence last week. It was my mom’s 95th birthday! I’m awed by that amazing milestone so I spent the day creating lovely memories with her. Our wonderful brunch at a French bistro meant that I didn’t get to share the day with you, though, celebrating and…
Sometimes, one needs a nudge, or more of a shove, in the right direction. This episode was all about change, and that because it can be so hard, people need others who can push them in the right direction – or at least forward. People can both nudge others and be pushed themselves, and the…
Another solid episode. I’m hoping this means that the writing team for Walker has found its stride. Lots of action, some character development and plot progression, along with unanswered questions and minimal teenager distraction. “Nudge” is a strong addition, aside from a few things that made me go ‘hmmm’. I’m going to group my comments…
“We Need to Talk About Kevin” really should have been titled, “We need to talk about Sam and Dean.” Things just didn’t feel right with them. That was probably intentional, but given this was a highly anticipated season opener, it didn’t win many accolades from the masses. For the record, I loved season 8. However,…
One recurring theme of Walker is that no matter how bad it gets, people will be there to love and support you. This episode explores the other side of that … showing up honestly when those you love need you. One person who shows up even past his comfort zone is …
Another solid episode! Walker writers prove they can do it—now can they just please make the magic consistent? While “Sucker Punch” wasn’t quite as dramatic as the previous episode, it still had a solid plot that was the focus for most of the episode. Unlike last week, however, the teen drama had no connection to…
“Sucker Punch” is an unexpected blow out of the blue. This aptly describes what happened to so many of Walker’s characters this week. How one deals with life’s unexpected jolts depends on both one’s personality and support network, and no one took more unexpected hits than…
