Walton Goggins: TV Guide News

Cheers: Come Back, Shane! | Cheers & Jeers | 11/12/2008
Cheers to Walton Goggins for finding life after The Shield. The intensely talented actor, who's dominated the final two seasons of the FX cop show as renegade detective Shane Vendrell, is developing a new drama series for AMC, Rectify, about a falsely convicted felon. In addition to starring, Goggins will executive-produce with Ray McKinnon (his collaborator on the 2001 Oscar-winning short The Accountant) and Breaking Bad's Mark Johnson. With a pedigree like this, how can it miss? Share your... read more 1 Comment
I've been watching episodes ... | Matt Roush | 9/21/2007
Question: I've been watching episodes of Crossing Jordan on A&E for a few weeks now and find it pretty entertaining, so I looked up the date of the new season premiere and read that NBC had canceled it. Just like that, on a cliff-hanger? I know it's been on for six seasons, but what bothers me most is how it ended. The finale didn't feel like a series finale. The producers clearly didn't know they weren't getting another season. Are the rumors of its cancellation true? If so, how... read more
June 5, 2007: Spanish Practices | TV Show Recaps | 6/6/2007
Man, what a season. Can't the final season just start next week? Or can't we just fast-forward to March 2008 right now? (Leave Christmas in just for the heck of it.)Again, The Shield threw me for a loop. I was expecting either Shane or a member of the Mackey family to bite the big one and none of them did. I was expecting Vic to get his job back, but not by exposing the Mexican mob, and I certainly didn't expect him to walk out of his hearing. As I've said before, the twists and turns are what... read more
May 29, 2007: Recoil | TV Show Recaps | 5/30/2007
I know it's probably bad to start off a blog about this week's episode by saying I can't wait for next week's. But it's true. The last time I remember anticipating a finale as much as this one it was the final episode of Cheers. And this is just a season finale. I mean, jeez, my heart. My poor, tired heart. I know my heart can't wait until 11:05 pm/ET next week for it to be over. It gets a workout each week and I'm sure the ticker is a little exhausted at this point. Then again, we get to wait... read more
May 22, 2007: The Math of the Wrath | TV Show Recaps | 5/23/2007
With only three episodes left in this season, this week we get our setup episode for the final two. Dialogue-heavy and bloodshed-light, we get some more insight into Shane and the Armenians and find out that Hernan is not dead after all. Shane’s in the middle of this gas-station murder and is talking to the daughter of the Armenian mob boss. Shane’s talking to her like she doesn’t know anything, but clearly she’s more on her game than he thinks. And soon she might be in... read more
May 15, 2007: Shane Wises Up | TV Show Recaps | 5/16/2007
All talk and no action. That's usually not our buddy Vic Mackey. But last week, I clearly heard him say to Shane: "If I see you again, I will kill you." Vic saw him again and Shane is still walkin' and talkin' as far as I can see. I mean, I hoped it would happen. I hoped Vic would pull up to Shane and pop him one, but I also knew it couldn't happen that easily. Shane's no dummy, we all knew that. I always considered Vic to be the more cunning of the two, but Shane has really upped his game this... read more
May 1, 2007: Haunts | TV Show Recaps | 5/2/2007
I wish I had the time to go back to the beginning of this series and watch the whole thing from the start again. I'd love to see the point where Shane's life started spiraling out of control. Maybe it was the money train, or hitting Tavon over the head, or even all the way back to the first episode when the strike team killed a cop. There's got to be a dozen other moments as well, but whatever moment it is, one thing is for certain: Shane has no control over what happens now. This whole season... read more
April 24, 2007: The New Guy | TV Show Recaps | 4/25/2007
A big hearty handshake (well, not from Shane) goes out to Alex O'Loughlin, aka Detective Kevin Hiatt, as he begins his tour of duty in Farmington. Boy, he has no clue what he's being thrown into! This was a nice semi-setup episode to get us ready for what we saw in the preview. For the first time this season, chasing Lem's killer wasn't No. 1 on the list. We saw new drama unfold and even got back to the slaughterhouse briefly, while the Lem situation still stewed in the background a bit. Of... read more
April 17, 2007: Maybe He Didn't Do It | TV Show Recaps | 4/18/2007
"He killed Lem. Don't you remember his body, his face? You think you could just forget that, huh? Don't you think he deserves to die for what he did?"Those words, screamed at Shane Vendrell by Vic Mackey, helped mold a scene that had to be the most powerful one of the entire series. Wow! You knew Vic was going to do something harsh to Guardo if he found him, but wow! I mean, wow! I know I'm saying that word a lot right now, but that one word — wow! — really sums up the boldness, the... read more
April 10, 2007: I Framed a Guilty Man | TV Show Recaps | 4/11/2007
So the fact that Forest Whitaker wasn’t going to be around after this episode was not a well-kept secret at all, but I wasn’t expecting the situation between him and Vic to go down like this. I think I was somehow expecting Kavanaugh to get a surprise beating or take a bullet, although then again, he’s too smart for that. But it seems like he wasn’t smart enough to realize that no one plays both sides quite like Vic Mackey. Jon’s downfall of course was when he started... read more
April 3, 2007: I Hung My Head | TV Show Recaps | 4/4/2007
I thought of many ways to begin my first blog for The Shield, and I think the best way is for you all to join me in saying two words: hell, yeah! Honestly, I've never been this excited for a new season of a show. I certainly haven't watched every show in existence, but of the ones I have, this might be the only one without a misstep somewhere along the way. So, you'll have to pardon me if my emotions get the best of me at points. What can I say, I'm excited! But first, before we chat, a moment... read more
March 29, 2007: Welcome Back! | TV Show Recaps | 3/30/2007
Can you believe it's been more than a month since the last new CSI episode? So what better way to rekindle my CSI flame than to give me an unusually high amount of bloody gore! This episode certainly was one of the more gruesome in recent memory. Six young showgirls all tied up with their throats slashed and a full half hour at least at the crime scene. It was kind of creepy, too. The gang doesn't usually come across victims that are still alive, so when the one girl reached out from under the... read more
Any scoop on The Shield? Will ... | Today's News: Our Take | 2/8/2006
Question: Any scoop on The Shield? Will Julien ever come to terms with his sexuality? Do the writers even remember he's gay, since it hasn't been addressed since Season 3!?Answer: That's a good question. I'll look into that. In the meantime, one of these actors will not be returning for the second half of Season 5.
