7.2 The Well
The seventh season premiere of The Walking Dead was hard to watch. No matter how you actually felt about it, it was a slog. Downbeat, emotional, violent, nihilistic... it was every complaint every critic has ever had about the show, put into the same episode at essentially the same time. This isn't a world with a lot of humour or colour, especially not these days, but when The Walking Dead pauses long enough to allow the home viewer to take the world in and crack a smile, it's very effective.
Witness Carol's introduction to The Kingdom.

For a show focused so prominently death (it's right there in the title, after all), "The Walking Dead" does have a knack for sowing seeds of happiness. Whether or not all those seeds actually blossom is another matter, but for a few brief moments every season, all seems well. That was no doubt the point of the sunny opening montage of this week's installment, "Not Tomorrow Yet," which featured a glimpse into Carol's daily life in Alexandria, soundtracked by a jaunty folk tune (another cleverly-employed musical moment in a season swimming with them).
Followed by banjos and xylophones, Carol scours the pantry for cookie supplies (and those trusty water chestnuts), hunts for acorns in the woods, kills a walker, washes the blood off in the shower, raids her closet full of sensible floral button-downs and pastel cardigans, and crafts the best cookies she can, which she cheerfully passes out to the townsfolk.

Director: Jonathan Levine; Screenwriter: Jonathan Levine; Starring: Nicholas Hoult, Teresa Palmer, John Malkovich, Rob Corddry, Dave Franco, Analeigh Tipton; Running time: 97 mins; Certificate: 12A
Where there's life there's hope, and even where there isn't, love offers the promise of a new beginning for slacker zombie R, played by Nicholas Hoult. In a truly deadpan romantic comedy, he pulls off the difficult task of drawing us into his world with pupils fixed and dilated, though his gaze turns noticeably misty after clapping eyes on living blonde Julie (Teresa Palmer).
Zombie purists will take issue with every twist of the plot, beginning with the idea that R (because that's all he can remember of his name post-apocalypse) is "conflicted" about the imperative to eat human flesh. They'll scoff, too, at his capacity for coherent thought. But it's just as well for this comedy, because it means Hoult gets to deliver a wickedly dry voiceover.

Regenerations. They are part and parcel of keeping Doctor Who alive, both for the character and the programme. It's such a simple notion, but one that works perfectly. When William Hartnell was announced as leaving the show, well, why couldn't a man who travels in a police box change his face? The initial premise may have been cautiously accepted, but in a very short while, that excellent actor Patrick Troughton made the part all his own. The rest as they say is history.
So here then is a quick guide to all the final moments to date of each Doctor. It's time to play the Regeneration Game!
Death by: Old Age
Which Story? The Tenth Planet
Where? The Tardis
Notable Firsts: Obviously the first regeneration to take place, but it's also the first one to take place in the Tardis. The strange behaviour of the Tardis console suggests that it's pushing the regeneration process forward,...
