Walker Season 3 Episode 5 “Mum’s The Word” Recap/Review

Walker Season 3 Episode 5 “Mum’s The Word” Recap/Review

With all the revelations we had in this episode, “Mum’s The Word” doesn’t really seem like an appropriate title. When we got promotional stills for this week’s Walker, all the smiling faces assured me that this one would be an emotional wringer. And it was, just not in the way I thought. I initially wanted to…

Walker: Independence Season 1 Episode 4 “Pax Romana” Recap/Review

Walker: Independence Season 1 Episode 4 “Pax Romana” Recap/Review

After what we’ve seen in this week’s Walker: Independence, I have a feeling it will be some time before “Pax Romana” comes to Independence. This week’s episode is centered around the Founder’s Day celebration and all our plots mostly converge upon the same night, so I’ll be covering this week scene-by-scene. Let’s start at the…

Walker Season 3 Episode 4 “Wild Horses Couldn’t Drag Me Away” Recap/Review

A new episode of Walker is here and “Wild Horses Couldn’t Drag Me Away” from it. This episode was an unexpectedly light one in comparison to last week’s angst fest. Based on episode descriptions for future episodes, I doubt it’s going to stay that way, but I’ll enjoy it while it lasts. Before we get…

Walker: Independence Season 1 Episode 3 “Blood and Whiskey” Recap/Review

This week’s episode of Walker: Independence involved a lot of discussion of both “Blood and Whiskey”. We open up on Liam and Griffin’s bodies being put into caskets for burial.

Walker Season 3 Episode 3 “Rubber Meets The Road” Recap/Review

This week’s episode of Walker missed its chance to give us a “Rubber Meets The Road” moment but it was still pretty enjoyable. We start off with Cordell and Liam at Ranger HQ after they’ve been granted a medical checkup and a change of clothes. Liam sits alone in the atrium, reliving his time in…

Walker: Independence Season 1 Episode 2 “Home To A Stranger” Recap/Review

Walker: Independence Season 1 Episode 2 “Home To A Stranger” Recap/Review

“Home To A Stranger” was a fitting title for this week’s episode of Walker: Independence in more ways than one. I’m here for another scene-by-scene recap of this episode; I tried to split it up between plots but everything was a little too interconnected for me to do that effectively. Let’s start at the beginning,…

Walker Season 3 Episode 2 “Sittin’ On A Rainbow” Recap/Review

Walker Season 3 Episode 2 “Sittin’ On A Rainbow” Recap/Review

Cordell and Liam weren’t quite “Sittin’ On A Rainbow” in this second episode of Walker‘s third season, but sitting in front of a mural of one is close enough I think.   We were given another action-packed episode this week. I’m going to be giving this one a scene-by-scene recap just like last week’s since this…

Historical Context for Walker: Independence – The Civil War and Reconstruction Era

Historical Context for Walker: Independence – The Civil War and Reconstruction Era

Walker: Independence is set during the 1870s. This puts the events of the show right around the midway point of the Reconstruction Era following the U.S. Civil War. Hearing this inspired me to brush up on my Texas history for this era as I knew little about it, even with my mandatory Texas History class…
