When we left off last week, the group at the prison had taken some heavy hits indeed: two of our heroes are now zombie fodder, there's a newborn member of the group to contend with, and Rick Grimes — the fearless leader who'd ordinarily handle such things — is sobbing prostrate on the ground.
So, naturally, it makes perfect sense that we start off this episode in Woodbury, where they're having the most killer block party ever.
Spoilers ahead.

At 10pm on Sunday, November 11, Science Channel will premiere its “Firefly” reunion special. Like the Joss Whedon series it celebrates, “Firefly: Browncoats Unite” is a labor of love.
“I’m a huge fan of “Firefly” myself,” says Bernadette McDaid, Science’s VP of production and executive producer of the special. “It was originally conceived as a bit of a birthday present for me.”
But McDaid isn’t the only Browncoat in her office: Everyone involved with the 60-minute special is passionate about the series. “Every frame is crafted with love, across the board,” McDaid says. “It’s been an incredibly uplifting and inspirational experience to make this film and to be working with so many people who believe in it.”

Hot off the heels of last week's cliffhanger of an ending, "Damaged" begins with a flashback to Oliver Queen's time on that remote island in which the mysterious bearded Asian man (who saved him in previous episodes) is now teaching him how to shoot a bow and arrow. Suddenly, Oliver is kidnapped by a gang of masked men and shoved into a makeshift holding cell in the ground without any sort of explanation.
The present-day action on this week's episode of "Arrow" focuses mainly on the conflict between Oliver Queen and Detective Lance, with Oliver attempting to dissolve any remaining suspicions that the detective may have about Mr. Queen and the hooded vigilante being the same person. But with video evidence of Oliver at the scene of one of Arrow's crimes, it would appear to be a task easier said than done.

All last week, the web was abuzz with rumors that the upcoming episode of "The Walking Dead," titled "Killer Within," contained some absolutely shocking, series-turning-point sort of shizz — and indeed, last night's episode was one in which major bad business went down. And while it's hard to say which was the biggest, boldest, most brutal twist of the night, it's hard not to lead with the shocking and terrible news that...
...we found out the Governor's real name, and it was a total boring letdown.
Oh, then there's the little matter of the show ripping out our heart, chewing it into bloody little pieces, and spitting it out amid some of the worst carnage and most terrible losses we've seen since Sophia lurched out of the barn.

This week's episode of "Arrow" picks up pretty much exactly where last week's episode left off: Diggle awakes from his poison induced unconsciousness to discover that his employer, Oliver Queen, and the murderous vigilante, Arrow, are in fact one in the same. Throughout the course of "An Innocent Man," Dig struggles to come to terms with Oliver's criminal killing hobby as he decides whether or not to take Mr. Queen up on his offer.

"The Walking Dead" is kind of a big deal. You don't post massive record-breaking ratings over two full seasons of television (and at the start of a third) without attracting some notice. You don't cross the 100 issue milestone in the comics without splitting some heads. And you don't get an entire obstacle course dedicated to your creation at Comic-Con in San Diego without doing something right.
It only makes sense, then, that this gargantuan flesh-hungry franchise has a magazine all of its own.
READ: Robert Kirkman Interviewed In "Walking Dead: The Official Magazine"
Almost ten years after its first comic book was published, "The Walking Dead: The Official Magazine" has launched from Titan, a 98-page monstrosity filled with all the gory behind the scenes details "Dead" heads could possibly want. To some fans, it probably seems like overkill. To others, it's not only the next natural step, but an endlessly entertaining one.

To say that last night's episode of "Arrow" was full of surprises would be a pretty serious understatement. "Lone Gunmen" was absolutely full of unexpected twists and turns, basically changing everything that we've grown to know about the series so far.

When we last saw our band of merry "Walking Dead" misfits, they'd just hacked their way through a herd of walkers to find safety and shelter in a prison cell block — and hacked their way through a certain someone's left leg in order to save him from zombification.
Also: they're not alone.

After last season's languorous pace and dearth of zombies, we'd been hoping to see "Walking Dead" season three come flying out of the gate with the titular walking dead front and center. And in a delightful turn of events, the premiere didn't disappoint!
At the start of the episode, the lights come up on two cadaverous gentlemen, who appear to be enjoying a quiet afternoon of shuffling and moaning at home. But not for long! The door bursts open to reveal Rick, T-Dog, and a longer, leaner Carl, whose little-boy baby fat has vanished (along with his innocence, no doubt). The three dispatch the home's current residents with quick, quiet efficiency, and by the time they meet Daryl at the back door, it's clear that they've done this before — a fact confirmed by the appearance of the rest of the group and a now-immensely-pregnant Lori.

Look out Starling City! There's a new vigilante running around town, with a list of names and a score to settle. Last night's premiere episode of The CW's "Arrow" did not waste any time with a back story, choosing instead to pickup right when Oliver Queen is rescued and brought back into normal society. Almost immediately, we learn that Oliver is a billionaire playboy who comes from a wealthy and illustrious family.
However, being stranded on an island in the middle of nowhere for five years really changes a person, as made apparent by Oliver's desperate and mysterious need to eradicate the scum and villainy from his darling Starling City. Donning a green hooded cowl, Oliver takes to the streets in order to take down one of the biggest crime lords in town: Adam Hunt.
Click past the jump for our recap of the "Arrow" premiere! Also, SPOILERS. Obviously.
