The Day ‘The Walking Dead’ Really Died

Theres two famous idioms. One is “kill your darlings.” The other is “looks good on paper.” The first one means that you sometimes have to get rid of characters, subplots or even just a few sentences if it doesn’t fit the overall story. The other means sometimes plans, actions and especially potential employees look greatContinue reading “The Day ‘The Walking Dead’ Really Died”

The Clever Stupidity Of David S. Pumpkins

Some people don’t have positive thoughts of Saturday Night Live. But their most memorable skits seem to be based in simplicity. Think of Eddie Murphy as James Brown singing about getting into a hot tub. Or there’s Steve Martin’s “King Tut” skit. And then there’s the “More Cowbell” skit. They work because they’re simple.

I’m not wishing the man any ill-will but that’s a lot of determination to make it to 88!

Earlier this week, LynnContinue reading “Justice For Kohen Wiley”

‘Backrooms’ Is A Horror Flick With A Full Story On Back Order

Cyndi Munson Meets Tahlequah Area Residents

I’ve been covering politicians and elected officials for years and sometimes they are running behind. Thankfully, Cyndi Munson, the Democrat nominee for Oklahoma governor, didn’t make people wait hours. But even when she arrived a few minutes after 7 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 19, she was welcomed with a lot of applause. And I think sheContinue reading “Cyndi Munson Meets Tahlequah Area Residents”
