Sunday, 3/18

Frozen Planet; Discovery Channel. 7 pm CST. Mini-series Premiere.
The team that brought us Planet Earth and Life takes us on a trip to the world's coldest regions.  Four years-- and 60 expeditions-- in the making.  Highly recommended.

The Walking Dead (AMC; 8 pm CST). Season Finale.
After a slow-paced first half of the season, the show has really brought it lately (even killing-off a major character last week), and this finale should be even crazier.  At least one other major death, and a big shit-hitting-the-fan plot that sends the group in different directions by the end should make this a great one.
Creator (and finale co-writer) Robert Kirkman promises "big zombie action" for this ep-- but I wonder if the biggest death(s) will come from zombies-- or one of the humans.
