Fantastic week for The Walking Dead with hardly anyone voting “Killer Within” less than excellent. A very strong finish to Red Dwarf X too, with lots of love for “The Beginning”. Misfits series four doesn’t seem to be impressing you, though to be fair, as the bottom-rating episode of the week, it still managed an overall score of average rather than being totally loathed. Biggest tumble of the week was for Warehouse 13 – not good for a mid-season finalé.
(Note: New entries this week were down to the reviews not having polls on the previous week – we’ve got everything standardised now – hopefully – though True Blood is still suffering form having originally been reviewed months ago.)
