Walking Dead Finale Tonight

Saw this pic and decided to post it because it pretty much sums up what tonight's ep (AMC; 8:00 pm CST):



I read what could be a real plot synopsis of tonight's season finale, and if half of it is true, it'll be the wildest episode of this show so far.  As we've seen the past two weeks, this show is not afraid to kill-off characters, and there should some more graves needing to be dug as the zombie hoard descends on the farm.

EDIT [after watching the finale]:
Okay-- that's how you end a season.  The spoilers I read were dead-on, but actually seeing the two Season Three set-ups (that were pure catnip for comic book nerds) were still cool.  The mysterious stranger (who comic readers know) with the unique weapon and companions-- and that last camera pan up to reveal the setting for the third season. 
Damn!  October is a long way away...

Ruin (short film)

Cool chase scene.

Community-Prometheus Mash-up

A littlte late, but I just saw this.

(It helps if you've seen the Prometheus trailer.)

Aliens (movie) Spoiler-- but hilarious

Wednesday, 3/14

Interior Therapy With Jeff Lewis; Bravo. 8 pm CST. Series Premiere.

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.

Thursday, 3/1

Awake; NBC. 9 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Jason Isaacs stars as a detective who wakes after a car crash and finds he's living in two realities: one in which his wife died, and another in which his son died.  He doesn't know which is real and which is a dream.
I caught this pilot last night (OnDemand, Hulu, and iTunes all are offering it), and it's really good.  I'm not sure if the premise will hold up week after week, but I'm completely willing to watch to see how it does.
And, if the plot or the premise hadn't hooked me, Isaacs had a fantastic scene near the end where he explained how he's going to process not knowing what's real and what's a dream with this therapist. It showed, right there, what kind of man we're going to be watching.


Saturday, 3/3

DC Nation; Cartoon Network. 9 am CST. Programming block premiere.

Sunday, 3/4

Army Wives; Lifetime. 8 pm CST. 6th Season Premiere.

GCB; ABC. 9 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Based on the novel Good Christian Bitches, comes this soapy show just in time to take-over for the departing Desperate Housewives.
The commercials have made this look like a lot of fun (and I am fully aware that doesn't necessarily mean anything), and the cast is pretty good.
And one of the characters is named "Carlene Cockburn"...
You just have to give the show a shot with a name like that.

Breakout Kings; A&E.  9 pm CST. 2nd Season Premiere.
And the ads are promising that "one will fall".

FDR: American Badass red band trailer

"Red Band" for your f-bombing pleasure.

Rob Liefeld... Not a very technically good artist

I ran across this recently, and it had me laughing so much, I had tears in my eyes.

I don't really want to perpetuate the beating this dude gets, but I also don't feel too awful about it. I mean, he's got more money than Tony Stark, so he can afford to take an art class or ten...

And, no, you don't need to be a comic book fan to enjoy this.

...But it helps.

Life's Too Short; HBO. 9:30 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant (you know, the geniuses behind The Office, Extras, and An Idiot Abroad) bring us this series based on an idea from Warwick Davis about his trials as a dwarf actor.  If Davis is half the actor Matt LeBlanc was by playing an extreme version of himself (on EpisodesI, this should be awesome.
