The Walking Dead (AMC, Sunday 9 p.m.) — To be fair, this is just the winter finale for The Walking Dead, and like last year, it will return early next year. In the meantime, Sunday’s episode will pit Woodbury vs. The Prison. I kind of hope The Governor dies because I’m excited to watch him die, but on the other hand, I kind of hope he’s around to creep the hell out of the second half of the season.
Boardwalk Empire (HBO, Sunday 9 p.m.) — If Richard Harrow dies, we riot. But it’s just that kind of painful character death that has made Boardwalk Empire so good all along: No fear. Never let a beloved character stand in the way of a good story.
Dexter (Showtime, Sunday 9 p.m.) — Speaking of great characters, Dexter lost one last week — the best reason to watch the drama this year — and with THREE MORE episodes to go this season, there’s hardly any point in watching now. Unless Yvonne Strahovski removes more clothing.
Homeland (Showtime, Sunday 10 p.m.) — While Boardwalk and The Walking Dead go one way, Homeland is going the other: You just knew that having the minds behind 24 on this show would mean that, eventually, they’d push the story lines too hard, too fast. The ambiguity that made this season so much fun last year is all but gone and all we’re left with is Claire Danes’ quivering lip.
Fringe (Fox, WHERE IS IT?) — No Fringe tonight for the second week in a row. It’s the last goddamn season, people. I thought we were done with the long hiatuses between episodes. Let’s wrap this puppy up so we can move on with our lives, people.
Storage Wars: Texas (A&E, Sunday 10 p.m.) — Never seen an episode of Storage Wars, so let me ask you: Have they ever found a dead body inside? Because whenever I see a lot of storage units out in the middle of nowhere, I always think that there must be at least three dead bodies locked up inside of them. Especially those refrigerated units. Otherwise, what DO people put in refrigerated units, if not dead bodies? Groceries?

Storage Wars is my secret shame. It’s Competitive Antiques Roadshow.
No dead bodies, but they have found old people Polaroid porn.
dont hide it, I love it too
Richard Harrow needs to drive over the horizon with Jimmy’s kid and Wrenn Schmidt, and never look back at the pile of dead gangsters (topped by Gillian) that he leaves behind him.
Random Walking Dead question: They went on that rescue mission with four of them in a really tiny little car. If they do get Glenn and Maggie out without casualties, how the hell are they going to get away?
I recently watched Storage Wars for the first time a few weeks ago, and that was the first question I posed to my family as we were a few minutes into the first show. Frankly, I’m shocked there have been no dead bodies found to date.
If you have dead bodies in your storage unit you pay your bill. These are all repossessed or whatever units right? If your hiding bodies your paying your bills son.
Capone v. Gip Rosetti is going to be epic.
Don’t forget Harrow, man. There’s going to be a lot of moving parts.
Fringe is preempted by sports, the Pac-12 Championship Game to be exact. Yet how they’re crowning a champion of the Pac-12 when the best team in the Pac-12 isn’t playing in the championship game is beyond me.
Yore right considering the pac 10 as a whole is a joke of a conference. It’s not even a very funny joke.
You mean the deja vu deja vu of UCLA-Stanford UCLA-Stanford wasn’t a new twist in Fringe mythology? I was starting to enjoy the show again.
I’ve been more excited for this next episode of Boardwalk than I have for any show in some time. Richard’s death would be devastating but I am also terribly worried for Dunn Pearnsley. That guy brings so much to elevate his role, it would be a shame to see him go.
Calling Boardwalk Empire the best drama over and over isn’t gonna make it true.
I think I’m looking forward to the Empire finale more than the Dead finale. But they both look to be OUTSTANDING!
Even worse, in Fringe’s place Fox just aired Two and Half Men. It’s like they want someone to go there, take tons of LSD and shave everyone.
Homeland suffers because its terrorists are ridiculous. Giving them helicopters, tons of explosives, and omniscience turns the show into Die Hard. With something like that you need to be able to turn your brain off and enjoy the fireworks. But that doesn’t work when the show is still pretending to be about twists and turns. In other words, it makes it hard to suspend disbelief.
i disagree re Homeland. Whilst it has had a couple of hit-and-miss episodes, this season so far has been quite good and yes, fast-paced. But quite good. My .02
I use the Android app TVShowFavs to track the shows that I watch and it’s so fucking depressing when Friday is mostly barren, nothing appears for Saturday, and I have to wait until Sunday evening before I get anything new.
If they kill the Governor, he will have been a complete waste of a character
Governor’s not dying this week. I think Oscar will, though, because we know Tyreese is being introduced. If T-Dog’s death taught us anything, it’s that this show can’t handle more than one major male, African-American character at once.
Why isn’t there a live feed discussion regarding these season finales right now? WHO AM I SUPPOSED TO NERD OUT WITH UPROXX?
