This episode of the “The Walking Dead” goes back to a two-character plot line that again is a major snooze fest. With little dialogue and vague flashbacks, “Consumed” is an episode that has little to offer- even if it focused on Daryl and Carol.

Not only was “Consumed” a major drag, but it was another throw-away episode, similar to the one that involved Beth. The more “The Walking Dead” gets away from their focus towards the group as a whole, the more the show loses luster. You would think that a new show mind the likes of Scott Gimple would gear away from dull plot lines that focus on one or two characters in one episode.

At the site, I'm a music, television and graphic novel kind of guy and that's what I'll be writing for the most part. Expect some book and music reviews as well though [insert demon horns here]. I grew up in Bensonhurst Brooklyn, the same neighborhood many of the best mafia films of our day were based on, idolizing guys like Robert Deniro, Martin Scorsese and Al Pacino. I'm also a big sports fan and follow the New York Yankees immensely.
