Hello all and welcome to another episode of Walker! Or, well, sort of. What you are about to read (if you so desire) is not a review of a canon episode of Walker that aired on The CW. Rather, this is a fandom collaborative experience called “Let’s Write an Episode of Walker!” Simply put, I…
Walker is a show about family and family legacy. From the origins of the family in Walker: Independence to the firmly established legends in the modern family on Walker, there’s something to be said about past generations leaving a legacy for their descendants to uphold. The most obvious example of this is the Walker ranch,…
One of the most prominent themes throughout the Walkerverse is family. In Walker, the main cast is made up of members of three generations of the Walker family. They are surrounded by other families as well, such as the Davidsons’, the James’ and the Perezes. In Walker: Independence, the biological families of the characters take…
In season three of Walker, Stella is on a journey to find herself and become an independent woman. This is a good idea and very fitting for her character given her age and position in the overall story, but, in my opinion, the execution on this plot has been sorely lacking. I do commend Stella…
“The Death of Mary Collins” was a wild return back to the world of Walker: Independence and one that I was very excited to see. From death threats to sibling reunions and horrific racial violence, this episode covered just about all the bases and did a good job setting up the plotlines for the remainder…
Authors Note: Apologies for the lateness of this recap/review. My television service went down during part of the episode during the premiere and I missed the first 12 minutes of the episode. I wanted to give you a review that is up to my usual standard so I had to wait until I had time…
Introduction When Philemon Chambers first mentioned that Augustus was once a Buffalo Soldier in an interview, I was intrigued. When we learned in “Random Acts” (1.06) of Walker: Independence that Augustus’ time in the Buffalo Soldiers was what led to him and Calian meeting and becoming friends, I was hooked and needed to learn more….
The Pinkerton National Detective Agency, while not the first private detective force in America, is one of the more well-known. Pinkerton and his many operatives set the standard for private detective work, both in the real world and in the world of fiction. Though the agency was steeped in controversy from the very beginning, Pinkerton…
“The Owl And The Arrow” was a surprisingly fitting name for this week’s episode of Walker: Independence. It was a tense look at Old West justice, period-accurate racism and prejudice, and some unfortunate realities of the world that still haven’t changed. Since the events of this episode are focused around the accusations and proceedings surrounding Francis…
This week’s episode of Walker brought a few characters their “Just Desserts”. Since “Just Desserts” was so focused on the central event of the Walker Family Thanksgiving, I’m going to be covering all the hard-hitting action scene-by-scene. Also, I’m going to be doing things a little differently with this review and tone down on the…
Sometimes we get episode titles and I wonder where they came from. “Random Acts” is one of those titles because there was nothing random about the acts in this week’s episode of Walker: Independence. As usual, I’m amazed at how much story was packed into this 42 minute episode and impressed at how well balanced…
I think “Something There That Wasn’t There Before” breaks the record for the longest title of an episode of Walker! We’ve had mostly long ones this season. I wonder if that’s going to be a trend going forward. This episode was interesting for me. I had to think a bit about how I wanted to…
