Now that’s a great episode! Plenty of action, interpersonal drama and revelations, with solid storytelling. When Walker’s writers are in the zone, they really get it right! The episode picks up right where we left off, with Captain James down and Trey pinned on the porch. Under fire from the shooter, Trey makes a run…
There’s so much to say about Walker 2.08 “Two Points For Honesty”. It was a wonderful episode, filled with deep character development and heartwarming relationship building. Reflecting its title, it was the most honest examination of Walker’s main characters to date, which may be one of the reasons I liked it. My understanding of Cordell fundamentally…
I liked a lot about this episode—except for the central, important thing that still baffles me, and a story trope that I disliked when they used it in Supernatural (and don’t like it any better on Walker). I’m going to break the show up by character groupings rather than chronologically to get a better idea…
“What’s Next?” Walker strives to be timeless while also being timely, and worrying about the future is both. Whether wondering what one should do or what is going to happen, all people have moments of … “what’s next?” One character who is facing both sides of that question is …
That was sweet. I know that’s an odd thing to say about an episode that showed us Liam getting “blitzed” drunk to forget his humiliation and despair; the Serano case falling apart, putting Trey and the Walkers in danger again; and Captain James getting shot – twice – in a gang ambush, but those events…
The mid-season finale left us with a lot of questions and a sad farewell. I’m going to split it by character(s) again rather than take things in chronological order to focus on the different storylines. Gail Z. MartinBestselling author Gail Z.

One of the hardest things to ever do is be honest. Walker explored the bravery it takes to be honest and accepting of the fallout when you are. Decked in the season that is filled with harmless falsehoods, this episode espoused the need to be honest with even the hardest of truths. At the center…
Oh, “Red Sky at Morning.” This episode has not gone down in history too kindly. It’s often referenced when someone needs an example of how bad filler is done or just when someone needs a good laugh. Even Chuck made a joke about it in season four. It’s…hideous. Although, compared to some of the really…
When binge watching season two, I thought “Folsom Prison Blues” wasn’t a bad hour. It’s light and fun, which is remarkable since it’s an episode that takes place in prison! The problem was that I didn’t see season two live. I started watching “Supernatural” live in the middle of season three. All I kept thinking…
There was a lot going on in this episode. For the most part, I thought it delivered a good murder cold case and served as a strong new chapter—with one exception. Can you guess which part didn’t thrill me? Rather than recap the story this week since there was so much happening, I’m going to…
“Tricycles still get you places.” One of the things I love most about Walker is how often it twists common tropes. In most shows, the third wheel isn’t a good thing. But 2.05 “Partners and Third Wheels” highlights how sometimes an outside perspective, the third wheel, is what’s necessary to progress. It also had overlapping…
The Morning After Well, that was interesting, in a “What just happened?” sort of way. Walker’s 2.05 “Partners and Third Wheels” was as confusing as the title, with personal relationships going awry at river banks, bars, ranches and crime scenes. Bottom Line: it was a really bad day to go on a date in Austin!…
