Bob's Burgers, season 5 (A+)
HILARIOUS! There were a couple episodes that were kinda flat, but most of them had be laughing my fool ass off. I'm amazed they can still come up with these great stories after 5 years....but then again, The Simpsons has been going strong since the FIRST George Bush was in the White House. I'd highly recommend it, in fact I'd highly recommend all 5 seasons on Netflix!

This Hulu series was based on a Stephen King book. I LOVED the book. It was 800 and some pages, and I finished it in 5 days back in 2014. So I was looking forward to this series. And the series was okay. I wasn't really expecting a page for page copy of the book, but there were several things that just careened off into areas that were FAR from the book, and some, frankly, non-sensical. Still I did enjoy the entire series.
The Walking Dead season finale (D)
Ugh. We spend the whole second half of the season hearing what a bad ass Negan is. We ALL know from the comic books he beats Glenn to death with a baseball bat. And we know this is the 90 minute season finale. So what do we get? And hour of a group of them driving around getting stopped by roadblocks set up by Negan's group. And then we get a then stumbling, somehow, into the middle of Negan's men, where it just so happens they already have Daryl and his group and Eugene waiting for them RIGHT THERE! Then we get 15 minutes of a Negan soliloquy. And then we get a POV shot of Negan hitting someone with the bat twice and blood on the screen. Aaaaand, cut to black.
Pffft! Waste of 90 minutes I'll get back in my life.
I dont really care at this point who he killed, but MY guess is it's Deanna's son. He's the only one that's not from that group since before Alexandria. He's the one we, as an audience, have the least amount invested in. He's not been in the show much. He wouldn't be a loss. So that's who I think it is and why.
Although, since it can be anyone, if I were the writers, I'd do this: since they dont have to start filming the next season until the summer, what I'd do if follow all the social media comments on this and tally up who most of the fans think DID die, and then make sure it WASN'T that person or persons. Just to show the fans can't predict this show (especially since everyone and their brother predicted how Glenn survived under the dumpster).

He didn't kill Deanna's son - he wasn't even there. He killed Glenn, that was the whole point of the POV shot. They kept showing a POV of someone locked in a dark place, with light peaking thru and muffled sound outside. They showed this 3 times; we find out it is the van where they had Daryl, Glenn, Michonne and Rosita - all that they captured last week. The van POV was someone sitting in the back facing the doors; when they open it Daryl is directly by the door, so it's not him...Glenn is the last one out - so he had that POV. When Negan begins his bashing; we're back at POV. It was Glenn!
They didn't "somehow" just "happen" to end up anywhere...it was exactly where Negan wanted them. Unlike Rick...Negan took his time to scout out the enemy and wait...once they captured Daryl & crew they knew sooner or later they'd leave Alexandria to look for them....Maggie's pain just happened to get them out sooner and needed to happen for her to be one of the choices. They played with them, they messed with them, they broke them mentally down...they did exactly what they planned to do. Rick's crew have been so stupid with their choices lately that I found myself rooting for the bad guys!
I'm mad though that you didn't see who Negan killed though....the scene needed to end completely. Making us wait takes away the horror-ness of the scene. We won't be as pumped up for it!
