‘The Walking Dead’ returns with new foes Cover Story this week
By Francis Babin TV MediaL ast month marked an important milestone in the history of entertainment. Twenty years ago, “The Sopranos” debuted on HBO to high praise and instantaneously changed the television landscape forever. In the years since its muchtalked-about finale, the Jerseybased mob drama has only become more important. The tracksuit-wearing wiseguys ushered in a new golden age of television, with seemingly every network, including AMC, trying their hand at character-driven dramas regardless of their overarching program
with its addictive story arcs, overthe-top villains and many memorable moments. On Sunday, Feb. 10, “The Walking Dead” returns for the second half of its thrilling ninth season.
In the wake of Negan’s (Jeffrey Dean Morgan, “Watchmen,” 2009) defeat, Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln, “Teachers”) became the leader of all of the surrounding communities. He worked tirelessly to assure the co-operation between Maggie’s (Lauren Cohan, “The Vampire Diaries”) Hilltop group, Daryl’s (Norman Reedus, “Ride with Norman Reedus”) Saviors and Ezekiel’s (Khary Payton, “General Hospital”) Kingdom in order to
him, he was being whisked away via helicopter piloted by Jadis (Pollyanna McIntosh, “Hap and Leonard”) and her friends after being severely wounded during a bloody fight with a horde of walkers.
In the six years since Rick’s disappearance, much has changed. Yes, there are still walkers aplenty and danger still looms at every turn, but new groups of survivors and new relationships are thriving. What hasn’t changed is the postapocalyptic series’ penchant for ending seasons (or half-seasons in this case) with a bang.
The second half of the season picks up immediately after last fall’s cliffhanger that saw Jesus (Tom Payne, “Luck”) struck down at the hands of a new, more dangerous kind of walker while the surrounded Michonne (Danai Gurira, “Black Panther,” 2018), Aaron (Ross Marquand, “Avengers: Infinity War,” 2018), Yumiko (Eleanor Matsuura, “Wonder Woman,” 2017) and Daryl discovered the shocking truth regarding these grotesque monsters.
It was revealed in the last moments of the half-season finale that the walkers that killed Jesus are not evolved zombies like many had speculated, but in fact humans wearing walker skins in order to blend in and easily stalk their victims. Not a lot is

known about these mysterious Whisperers, their motivations or desires, but we will soon find out more. In an interview with Insider, showrunner Angela Kang (“Terriers”) discussed how these faux-walkers, led by Alpha (Samantha Morton, “Harlots”) and her second-in-command, Beta (Ryan Hurst, “Bates Motel”), are unlike anything that our survivors have encountered before. In time, the series will explore their origins, philosophy, way of life and what makes them so different (besides the living-dead mask) from the others.
With the emergence of a new, deadly group, things can’t get worse for our survivors, right? Wrong. To worsen matters, Negan has managed to escape confinement. After more than half a decade locked up, the bat-wielding former tyrannical dictator is now once again on the loose. What kind of sinister plans does he have up his leather jacket sleeves? Furthermore, was his escape a simple mistake of not locking his cell properly, or an inside job that’s part of a more elaborate plan? Nobody knows, just like nobody knows how long his cell door had been unlocked. Did the maniacal baddie unknowingly turn himself into a long-term prisoner by never checking the lock? These questions will hopefully be resolved in due time, but what is certain is things are not going to get better anytime soon.
While it might seem like Hollywood’s love affair with zombies is a recent phenomenon, this is not the case at all. Ever since the public first laid their eyes on the zombies featured in George A. Romero’s film debut “Night of the Living Dead” (1968), they’ve been infatuated with brain-eating ghouls, and film and television execs have given the people what they want. Since its premiere all the way back in 2010, “The Walking Dead” has continuously differentiated itself from its predecessors by focusing on its characters and their relationships, and exploring questions of power and morals in a post-apocalyptic wasteland rather than gore.
Over the course of the series, our survivors have faced many obstacles and have always come out on top, but have they finally met their match? On Sunday, Feb. 10, tune in to find out what transpired in the past six years and see who lives and who dies when “The Walking Dead” returns for the second half of its ninth season on AMC.

Karen Pence has taken a part-time job at as an art teacher at a school that bans gay and lesbian teachers and students. For real. The school is called “Immanuel Christian School.” The school agreement explicitly states it will refuse admission to students who participate in or condone what they call “homosexual behavior.” It’s like a Slytherin-only Hogwarts.

Chocolaty throwdown: Two new challengers aim to beat the master
By Andrew Warren TV MediaI t’s that time of the year! Love is in the air, and with Valentine’s Day upon us, chef Bobby Flay is embracing two of the things that he loves most: fantastic food and the thrill of competition.
This week’s episode of “Beat Bobby Flay” is all about chocolate, that most decadent of foods and a classic Valentine’s Day treat. Airing Thursday, Feb. 14, on Food Network, the episode finds culinary personalities Valerie Bertinelli (“Valerie’s Home Cooking”) and Alton Brown (“Iron Chef America”) struggling to choose between two chefs eager to challenge Flay to a culinary showdown.
Challenger David Lebovitz is an acclaimed pastry chef for
whom working with chocolate is second nature, but he’s met his match in Ryan Scott, a jack of all trades who is more than capable of putting a savory spin on the tasty ingredient. As in all episodes of “Beat Bobby Flay,” the two chefs go head to head in a cookoff, with Bertinelli and Brown deciding which one of them gets to throw down with the show’s namesake.
Flay has long been Food Network’s most recognizable culinary battler. He first rose to fame during his appearance in the Japanese version of “Iron Chef,” and was one of the original chefs chosen to be an Iron Chef in “Iron Chef America.” He previously starred in “Throwdown! With Bobby Flay,” which saw him challenge chefs to see who could
make the better version of their specialty dishes.
“Beat Bobby Flay” definitely has elements of “Throwdown,” especially in the second round where the chosen chef finally gets to, well, throw down with Flay. Unlike in the first round, in the second it’s the challenger who gets to decide what dish both Flay and his competition must cook, and the judges taste
both dishes blind, without knowing which chef cooked which. Even with the cards stacked against him, Flay wins far more often than he loses. He isn’t just a great chef, he’s also an incredible competitor who relishes the rush of the challenge. Chocolate can be a tricky ingredient to work with, but if anyone can handle it, it’s Bobby Flay. Catch the new episode when it airs Thursday, Feb. 14, on Food Network.

From his time as a baggage handler at Heathrow Airport to his legendary performance at the Live Aid concert in 1985, the life of Queen’s lead singer, Freddie Mercury (Malek), includes some legendary highs and crippling lows. After their debut album be comes a hit in the United States, the band goes on a tour of the country and the newly married Mercury begins to question his
sexuality. Within just a few years, Queen finds incredible success, but behind the curtain, Mercury’s personal life spirals out of control as his wife, Mary (Boynton), feels increasingly isolated by her husband’s attraction to men.
