Everyone handles trauma differently. Walker’s episode “Rubber Meets the Road” takes the unusual and bold choice to explore that through its beloved characters as part of the CW’s #DareToLoveDefyHate initiative to explore issues surrounding mental health. It fit perfectly in with the Walker season after the traumatic events of the first two episodes. “Rubber Meets the…
Wow—another episode that knocked it out of the park! Season Three is off to a great start. I loved (almost) everything about this one, especially the clear focus on Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), the effects of unresolved trauma on family, and the message that ‘it’s okay not to be okay’ and to ask for help….
Consequences and the blessing of second chances were themes explored in this vastly entertaining, uplifting, and thought provoking episode. Many characters worked together in various ways that they hadn’t before to help those that needed it, while others faced the consequences of their actions. A character who helped others get their second chance is …
I’ll admit, I wasn’t entirely sure I’d ever be back here. Nate WinchesterNate Winchester is an aspiring author, blogger, and strangely the only male writer for The Winchester Family Business.
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. As the town of Independence starts to wake up, the residents of Hagan’s hotel must also start their day. For Kate, that involves waking up…
Big Sky 3.5 “Flesh and Blood” Scenes play from last week’s episode, ending with Sunny and her husband Buck leaving the cabin. Walter opens a door into a back room where Paige, a young, dark-haired woman with a bandaged ankle, is sitting and staring ahead tensely. “They’re gone,” he says softly, and last week’s show flows smoothly into the…
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…
The Morning After Well, that didn’t take long! After voicing my hesitations about Carlos’ over–the-top hippie vibe seen in The Winchesters previews, he showed us a more sensitive side in the series’ “Pilot”, giving me hope that there was depth beneath his bell bottom, beaded jewelry façade. This week, Carlos totally stole the show. If…
Another incredible hour with the residents of Independence. Like the show they follow (Walker), the Walker: Independence characters also deal with the value of trust. Who does one trust? Why? In a town where no one is who they seem, it’s hard to know who to believe in, especially for newcomer …
“Sittin on a Rainbow” is another amazing episode, proving that Walker is really stepping it up with season three. There is something for everyone – action, drama, comedy, and a face from the past that had the audience screaming in joy. Heavy topics are broached, such as how corrupt society is, and the best way…
Walker‘s second episode of its third season’s made a strong follow-up to the explosive season opener. Overall, I liked it and thought it kept up the tension and pacing with some nice Supernatural call-backs. Once again, I’m going to skip the recap and share what I liked, with the few questionable details that made me…
“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,…
