(Spoilers through Episode 1.07) I’ve been enjoying Countdown, both for the tense plot and for the chance to see Jensen Ackles back in action. The main premise—stopping terrorists from setting off a nuclear explosive inside the US—has urgency and immediate buy-in. Countdown’s ensemble cast has a good mix of personalities and specialties as members of…
There are two ticking clocks in Amazon Prime’s Countdown. One of them, the prevention of a terrorist act with nuclear material. The other lies in wait inside Mark Meachum’s skull, the glioblastoma multiforme taking over the space in his head, its cancerous tentacles not leaving room for anything else. For those of us who have…
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…
Walker’s main character, Cordell Walker, is introduced to us as a badass Texas Ranger who has a soft spot for his family. Walker is a man who commands respect because of his impressive record, even if he did have to bend and break a few rules to get things done. He’s well known by the…
Romeo and Juliet is a classic tragic love story penned by the playwright William Shakespeare. The plot revolves around two teenagers in love, Romeo and Juliet, who come from rival families. Though they know their parents would never approve of their union, they decide their love is stronger than any rivalry and hatch a plan…
Hoyt and Geri’s relationship is an interesting element of Walker‘s first season. From Hoyt’s introduction in “Bobble Head” (1.03), we learn that the two have a long-term on-and-off relationship that’s been going strong since their younger years. Through many trials and tribulations, conjugal visits and absences, Hoyt and Geri have come back together over and over…
Dan Miller had quite the character journey in season 2 of Walker. From being Gale’s sidekick, to Denise’s scapegoat, to finally ending up as an unlikely ally to the Walker family, Dan’s both frustrated us and given us some heartwarming moments. Though sometimes his character flipflops in ways that give me whiplash, I want to…
Hoyt Rawlins was introduced in the first season of Walker, in the third episode, “Bobble Head”, and it was a memorable introduction indeed. Hoyt was shown to be a charming, fun-loving outlaw with a soft spot for two very special women: Geri Broussard and Abeline Walker. He’s also Cordell’s best friend going back to their…
On May 5th, 2022, the on-screen relationship between Bret and Liam (“Briam”) came to a surprise end when Liam successfully stumbled through asking newcomer Ben Perez out on a date in Walker‘s episode “Champagne Problems” (2.16). While I personally was happy to see Liam getting out and about again, I was disappointed that his previous…
