Daryl (Norman Reedus) and Carol (Melissa McBride) are not okay.Photo: Edi Ade/AMC Three weeks ago, I titled the headline of my recap about The Walking Dead episode that explored Daryl’s romantic past and his and Carol’s angry fight in the present “The Daryl and Carol Power Hour Returns, Minus the Power.” Well, “The Daryl & Carol Power Hour” has returned for its third outing, only this time it’s missing the “and,” too. “Diverged,” as can be easily guessed by its title, is about Daryl (Norman Reedus) and Carol (Melissa McBride) going their separate ways after the fight in “Find Me” where Daryl, not unreasonably, got mad at Carol for always running instead of facing her guilt over the consequences of her actions (e.g., Connie’s presumed death and the Whisperers’ destruction of Alex...

American Idol Season 19’s performance-packed, two-night Showstoppers round commenced Sunday, as Hollywood Week’s 64 remaining hopefuls sang with the show’s in-house live band for the first time and then faced their Final Judgment. Forty contestants had to be culled before next week’s top 24 round, and one of this week’s first Showstoppers cuts was definitely the deepest — when the show stopped for singer-songwriter Murphy. And it just so happened to be his 28th birthday. I thought Murphy — a bookish old soul with a harrowing backstory that involved being born half-blind, losing both his parents at a young age, and busking around the country for three years in an attempt to find himself — was a compelling figure the first time he humbly shuffled into the audition room a few weeks ago, espe...

Club A healthy portion of the internet is built around discussion of fan-casting, since humanity can both complain about the overabundance of sequels, remakes, adaptations and talk about how cool it would be if Famous Person X played Famous Fictional Character Y. It rarely ever amounts to anything (Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool doesn’t count, since he was the fan who made it happen), but that’s never stopped the internet from trying to make something happen. The latest internet fan-casting dream—even calling it a “rumor” is profoundly generous—is that Sebastian Stan (currently on Disney+ screens as Bucky Barnes on The Falcon And The Winter Soldier) should play youn...
