BSG "Sound of Cylons"

Mildly spoilery if you haven't watched Battlestar Galactica... But if you HAVE seen BSG-- or don't plan to someday-- check out this pretty cool parody.

Sometimes you just gotta keep yourself from asking too asking questions and roll with it.

Because if The Walking Dead keeps on the pace it's been on all season-- especially last Sunday's Holy Shit! episode-- short lawns will be the last thing anything talks about.

Family Guy (Fox; 8 pm CST) celebrates its 200th episode tonight.

The Governor throws a party for the Woodbury residents on The Walking Dead (AMC; 8 pm CST), but who knows what the Hell that means considering he's pretty much off his rocker (or is so cold-blooded he seems crazy).
And I think there's also going to be some serious fallout after the insane events at the prison last week.  I'm still in shock an hour later.  I mean, talk about your Holy Shit episodes...

Magicians do their tricks-- and then give share the scientific roots behind them.

I only watch AOTS, and will admit it's not perfect (but still mostly fun), but I do have to say:
Fuck you, G4...

DISH finally came terms with AMC, so now everyone can watch The Walking Dead (AMC; 8 pm CST); not just the eleven million non-DISH viewers who helped last week's season premiere destroy cable ratings.
And if you need a little extra Dead in your life, check out the Nerdist podcast with Andrew Lincoln; it's pretty cool. Lincoln gives his thoughts behind Rick's actions, how he manages a Southern accent so convincingly, and answers whether Rick blames Lori for [censored for spoilers]'s death.
