In recent years, walking 10,000 steps a day has become a popular fitness goal, but until now, there hasn’t been much scientific research to back that number. A new study looking at people wearing fitness trackers has finally determined that it is indeed a sweet spot for a range of health outcomes, but how fast you walk is also important.

If you’d rather watch first, read later, off ya go.

Was irony ever crueler than in Sunday’s midseason premiere of Fear the Walking Dead? John spent the bulk of the episode alternating between expressing his death wish and planning his suicide (right down to Scrabble tiles that spelled out, “Goodbye, June”). Then, when said wish was granted, albeit not at all in the way that he — or we — could’ve anticipated, he had a change of heart. How did Garret Dillahunt’s sharpshooter go down? Read on — and weep.

‘IF IT’S TROUBLE YOU WANT, I GOT SOME FOR YA’ | A couple of weeks after John left June, he bumped into Morgan and Dakota at the convenience store from which he still rented VHS tapes. Though the old pals were happy to see one another, John refused Morgan’s invitation to be a part of the utopia that he was building in a dry river bed. After Virginia walkie-talkie’d, threatening Grace and all of their friends, John also refused Morgan’s request to join in the fight against the Rangers. He had, as aforementioned, other plans. But at least he would use his pickup to help get Morgan and Dakota past the walkers held back by a barricade on the bridge that was the only way north.

It wasn’t easy, of course. Sure, after a Ranger shot up the first truck before being dispatched by a reluctant John to save Morgan, Dorie just happened to have a second truck sitting around. But it needed parts. While he and Dakota went to the cabin next door to scavenge, Morgan found John’s telltale tiles and, as fast as he could, confronted his buddy. “I just want it to be over,” John said. Later, after Morgan got truck No. 2 running, he continued trying to talk John out of his suicide mission by showing him the note that had been left with him by whoever had saved him following Season 5’s finale. Still no dice. John was a dead man talking.

fear-the-walking-dead-recap-season-6-episode-8-john-dorie-dies-garret-dillahunt-leaving‘OH MY GOD, YOU KILLED CAMERON’ | By the hardest, the trio managed to get past the walkers. (Particularly gnarly was the zombie that, for a while, got stuck beneath a spinning tire. Nightmare fuel, that!) But the truck was worse for wear after Dakota crashed it to shake off a couple of especially clingy walkers. Before Morgan set off to look for parts (I presume?), he repeated his, “Dude, you can’t kill yourself” argument some more and gave John a photo of him with his dad that he’d found in the truck they’d been going to fix up themselves once upon a time. When even that significant prop didn’t dissuade John from his plans, Morgan walkie’d Virginia and gave her the location of his friend’s cabin to hold a meeting. Now, Morgan said, John couldn’t go back there and kill himself. (Although technically, Morgan, couldn’t John just have done the deed right then and there?)

While Morgan was off somewhere, Dakota was grabbed by a walker that wasn’t quite dead, and stabbed it with — aha! The broken knife that had been used to kill Cameron. Yes, she’d done it, she admitted to John. Cameron had discovered how she was getting in and out of Lawton and blabbed to Ginny. So the girl had killed him? All the cool kids are doing it, she replied (basically). “Morgan said I need a reason to live — maybe that’s you,” John decided. “That’d have meaning.” Taking a hard pass, Dakota shot John in the chest and pushed him into the river below. Death, she remarked, “doesn’t always have to mean something.”

fear-the-walking-dead-recap-season-6-episode-8-john-dorie-dies-garret-dillahunt-leaving‘WHAT DID YOU DO?!?’ | After John floated to the bottom of the river in especially artistic fashion, he found — what are the odds? — the photo of him and his dad, which in turn gave him back the will to live. So he swam back up to the surface, pulled a Leonardo DiCaprio (with no Kate Winslet to take up all the room on his floaty) and went bobbing down the river — to safety, I presumed. Having heard the shot, Morgan demanded to know what Dakota had done. She not only told him, she inadvertently revealed that she had killed Cameron, too, since she was still holding the telltale knife. But regardless, he was going to take her to his new paradise, she insisted, because she was the reason he was alive. Come again?

All this time, I’d thought Sherry had patched up Morgan at the Gulch after Virginia had shot him. But it had been Dakota. She’d followed her sister there, eager to see her go down. Now, she screamed at Morgan, “You are breathing because you are the only person left that can end her!” Heavy. Meanwhile, Ginny arrived at the cabin with June and some Rangers. Mid-hissy fit over Morgan being a no-show, the villainess was walkie’d by her nemesis and told to keep an eye out for John floating downriver. Help him, then they’d talk. Following that call, Morgan rang Dwight at the new compound and told him to get everybody ready; he might be bringing the war with the Rangers to their doorstep. Oh, and bring in Sherry, Morgan added. They were gonna need the help. Finally, June spotted John on shore… face down. When at last he looked up at her… aw, crap. He had turned! He reached for her, as walkers are wont to do, and for a last moment, she held her husband’s hand before being forced to stab him in the head.

Still in shock that the show killed poor, sweet John? Join the club. And while you’re at it, hit the comments with your reaction to this brutal twist after grading the midseason premiere in the poll below.

If you’ve never wondered that… erm, you probably didn’t love this episode, in which Carol made soup, and Daryl fixed his bike.

Personally, I dug it as a heaping slice of life. But then, I could probably watch Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride knit mittens and be entertained. Anyway, whether you liked or loathed “Diverged,” the details of what transpired are below.

‘SMELLS LIKE DARYL’ | As the hour began, Daryl and Carol were leaving Leah’s cabin with Dog after their big fight. Things remained chilly between them, but Daryl still offered Carol his pocket knife to open her stuck water bottle. When their paths, as the title suggested they would, diverged, with Carol going back and Daryl poking around awhile longer, Dog opted to follow her. “Nice,” grumbled Daryl. Once home in Alexandria, Carol informed her four-legged companion that she’d meant it when she’d told Daryl that she didn’t need an apology. “I know he meant what he said, and an apology’s just a truce. It doesn’t fix anything” — unlike belly rubs, she added.

Though Carol was desperate to make herself useful, Jerry couldn’t think of a single thing for her to do. But when his tummy rumbled, she got the bright idea to not only mend the tattered scarf to which Dog had drawn her attention but make soup. Never mind that the rats had been in the grain and the solar panels were out of whack. “I’ll make it work,” she said. “You always do,” he replied. No sooner had she gotten to work than Dog freaked out chasing a rat around the kitchen. Banishing him to Daryl’s quarters, she MacGyver’d a mousetrap, because that’s just what Carol does — she makes it work.

the walking dead recap season 10 episode 21 diverged‘YESTERDAY WAS NOT MY BEST DAY’ | Foraging for ingredients to replace the ones that Dog had knocked over, Carol took out a bunch of walkers with the same ease that you or I might sweep up dust bunnies. She then used Daryl’s knife to fix Alexandria’s solar panels. Why? Because there is nothing that Carol can’t do. Shortly, she let Dog back into the kitchen and promised him scraps if he was a good boy. She also caught the rat… and promptly dropped it, leading to a funny if unlikely scenario in which our fierce warrior haplessly chased the thing around like she was in a Tom and Jerry cartoon. When finally the rat scurried through a hole in the wall, she plugged it with the scarf… just as the restored power went out. Sigh. “There’ll be more sun tomorrow,” she told Dog, “right, buddy?”

That night, Carol reassured Dog that Daryl would be back. He always came back. “I don’t, though, do I?” Should she just scram? she asked. Alas, Dog offered no barks of wisdom. Later, Dog woke up Carol freaking out. The rat was back in the kitchen. First, Carol cut a hole in the wall to see if she could spot it. Then she stabbed at the wall. Finally, she just tore the wall to shreds. When she’d exhausted herself, she sat on the floor, Dog sweetly lying down next to her in the debris. The next day, Jerry stopped by and quickly admitted that he was checking on Carol. When she’d come back without Daryl, Jerry had assumed she might be in need of an Ezekiel saying like, “A friend is someone who thinks you’re perfect even if everyone else thinks you’re broken.” What if one’s best friend just realized that one was broken later than everyone else? Ezekiel didn’t have a saying for that that Jerry knew of. What would he himself say? she asked. Almost in tears, Jerry just hugged her… as the rat scurried away like it was checking out of a hotel.

the walking dead recap season 10 episode 21 diverged‘YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME’ | While all that was going on, Daryl’s bike conked out. Thankfully, he soon found a bunch of deserted vehicles; those woods are lousy with ’em, aren’t they? While underneath one, raiding it for parts, a walker inside moved, sending the precariously parked vehicle tilting ominously in Daryl’s direction. (You can watch below.) Needless to say, he didn’t get squashed. Upon returning to his bike, Daryl quickly ascertained that dang it, he couldn’t make the repair without the knife that double dang it, Carol hadn’t returned. So he was walking the bike home when he happened upon some camo-clad walkers and, by the hardest, obtained from their gear a bunch of supplies — including a new pocket knife.

When at last Daryl made his way back to Alexandria, Carol was just giving up on mending the scarf; she had walls to repair now, anyway. What happened to you? they each asked upon seeing one another’s disheveled state. “You know,” Carol said, “the usual.” He didn’t want any of her soup, nor did he want his knife back. But as showrunner Angela Kang recently told us — and plans for their spinoff suggest — their friendship was anything but kaput. So, what did you think of “Diverged”? If nothing else, since it focused on well-established characters, you had to like it better than “Splinter,” right?

James, 48, joined Holly Willoughby, 40, and Phillip Schofield, 58, on This Morning to whip them up a number of delicious dishes. As is routine, the trio usually picks fun at each other and this often leads to rather hilarious moments on the ITV show. However, it seems the chef was less than impressed with a comment the mother-of-three made about it him when the programme returned to screens after an advertisement break.

With the chef getting set to make some pork crackling, Holly decided to tell viewers what James was going to make preparing.

In doing so, she made a joke about his “meat”, which left the culinary genius shaking his head as he cringed at the joke.

Going one step further, the kitchen wizard then headed towards the doors of the studio and make a swift exit from the set.

The hosts were both left in hysterics and desperately tried to compose themselves after watching their guest walk off.

Taking to Twitter, viewers were more interested in how much butter the chef was putting into his dishes, with one writing: “Do you need any butter for this recipe James?”

“Never have I been so glad to see James Martin and his mound of butter,” another avid viewer posted on the social media platform.

Whilst a third fan jokingly remarked: “James is a great advert for his all butter diet any way #ThisMorning.”

A fourth shared: “Where the f**k is James Martin and the EU butter mountain when you need them, eh?! #ThisMorning.”

James continued: “Martin Frizell, who’s the boss of This Morning, phoned me up the year after and said, ‘We want you back,’ and I said, ‘Not a b****y chance.’

“That’s the toughest job in TV. No rehearsal, I didn’t know what was going on and the first subject was about a six foot woman goth with a crow and a Great Dane.

“The following conversation was about some women’s issues. I thought, ‘What am I doing here?!’,” he told Platinum Magazine.

This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV.

Sunday’s episode of The Walking Dead is, not to put too fine a point on it, a must-see for fans of Daryl and, for that matter, his four-legged friend, Dog. “It tells a story about what was going on with Daryl during the long stretch of time that he was away [futilely searching for his lost buddy, Rick] and how he came to have this dog,” showrunner Angela Kang tells TVLine.

It also tells a story about how Norman Reedus’ beloved alter ego came to make the acquaintance of a mystery woman named Leah, played by True Blood alum Lynn Collins. “This character comes into Daryl’s life at a time when they’re both very raw and vulnerable,” previews Kang, adding as if the teaser photo of Leah holding a gun on Daryl wasn’t a bit of a tip-off, “They have this very complex relationship that takes a long time before it starts to thaw.”

When it does finally begin to defrost, however, Leah comes to have a significant impact on our taciturn protagonist. “She is somebody who obviously left a mark on Daryl,” the executive producer hints. Ultimately, how he regards her becomes “all part of his guilt over time in the apocalypse.”

Samantha explained she was heading out on a shopping trip anyway so asked if Tom wanted to join and go to Argos to pick up the lead.

After briefly joking Tom would’ve found Argos’ famous small pens big, Rob eventually asked Lee’s team what they thought.

A new trailer for the final six episodes of The Walking Dead season ten may have opened up a huge plot hole in the series.

The additional episodes for the delayed tenth season will act as the penultimate chapter for the flagship series before season eleven puts an end to the apocalyptic epic.

Newcomer Hilarie Burton is set to play Lucille, the dead wife of Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s somewhat reformed Negan, who became one of the series’ most popular villains at the end of season six.

Although Lucille was said by Negan to have died shortly after the deadly outbreak, she lives on in the series as the namesake for the Savior leader’s bludgeoning baseball bat.

When the new footage was released recently on Twitter, one fan took issue with a scene which showcased Lucille’s role in the early stages of the zombie apocalypse.

They wrote: “Note that Negan says that Lucille died of cancer before the pandemic, yet we see her kill a prowler.”

Die-hard fans of the popular series may take issue with the claim, as Negan initially said his wife died of pancreatic cancer in the early days of the zombie takeover.

The revelation took place between Negan and Gabriel (Seth Gilliam) when they were trapped in a trailer in the episode ‘The Big Scary U’ following an attack on the Sanctuary.

However, a later conversation which took place in season ten between Negan and the Whisperer leader Alpha (Samantha Morton) may have caught the former Saviour in a lie.

One fan recalled on Reddit: “What I am puzzled about though is that in 08×05 he tells Gabriel that Lucille died “during this” (the outbreak), but in 10×12 he tells Alpha that he lost her before walkers showed up.

“And now in the 10C trailer they clearly show Lucille alive and killing walkers. Got some continuity issues there.”

In the trailer, Lucille is sporting a wig and appears frail and tired, indicating she is currently undergoing treatment for her cancer.

Sadly, the sight of her taking out an approaching walker with a pistol flies in the face of what had already been set up in the series, depending on which episode you’re referring too, of course.

With a number of Walking Dead spin-offs already on the horizon to extend the series after the final season, the sprawling narrative is only going to get more complicated.

Even so, it’s disappointing to see the long-running zombie franchise failing to keep hold of the narrative at such a pivotal moment in the series.

“And it will be about the noobs instead of focusing on Alicia, Victor and Luciana. Daniel? I don’t recognise him anymore.”

(Ketchup helped.) You may recall that after screening the premiere, I panned the second Walking Dead spinoff. And even at the end of Season 1, it could still get a little heavy-handed for my taste. But I’ll be damned if I hadn’t gotten pretty attached to the drama’s young protagonists. I even watched Sunday’s two-part finale largely from the edge of my seat. What made it so exciting? Read on…

‘NOTHING’S UNAVOIDABLE’ | In an early flashback in “The Deepest Cut,” the first episode of the double-header, Huck was urged by Elizabeth to hurry up and isolate the asset — Iris, we were led to believe — or the CR would do it for her. So Huck deliberately drove their truck off the road, leaving it with a flat that required her, Felix and the Bennett girls to trudge off in search of shelter. When walkers tangled in barbed wire happened upon them, Huck seized the opportunity to slash Felix’s leg and make it seem as if it had been cut in the scuffle. Upon taking refuge in a retirement home, she sucked up to Iris with all the subtlety of the office brown-noser. Oh, but don’t go in that particular room, Huck said. It’s… um… full of the bodies of oldies who had shot themselves in the head. Nope, not suspicious at all, that. Since there was no way that Felix could hike across the hilly terrain that stood between the gang and the facility at which the girls’ father was toiling, their guardian decided that he should stay behind, and they could pick him up on their way back to the campus colony. (As if.)

Instead, just as Iris was noticing all of the red flags that Huck was waving, Hope snuck away in the night with her, saying that Iris wouldn’t leave without Felix. Turned out, Hope had decoded the CR’s cipher, which revealed what a two-face Huck was and that everyone who wasn’t the asset was considered — gulp — expendable. While all of that was going on, Elton discovered Percy alive but barely. It was OK, said the version of Percy that was conscious, if only in Elton’s mind. He could leave the body to the walkers and save himself. Rather than do so, Elton fought the approaching empties and won. Afterwards, finding a walkie-talkie in Percy’s coat pocket, Elton managed to connect with Huck, only to have Percy knock the device out of his hand. Percy hadn’t been attacked by Silas, you see, he’d been shot — and “she’s the one that shot me.” With that, episode No. 1 concluded with Felix discovering that his gun was missing just as Hope pulled the weapon on Huck. Nice set-up!

the walking dead world beyond recap season 1 episode 10 finale‘YOU CAN HATE ME… AND I’LL LIVE WITH THAT’ | “In This Life” was full of flashbacks to Leo’s relationship with fellow researcher Lyla, who was apparently about as trustworthy as Huck. But she must have cared about the girls’ dad, at least a little, because ahead of Hope’s arrival at the facility, she nervously practiced the speech in which she was going to disclose that she’d told the CR what he’d said about Hope — basically, she’s a genius — and that they were about to be reunited for the sake of humanity. Toward the end of the hour, Leo stopped Lyla before she’d even begun her speech to share his suspicions about the CR military. What had become of Will’s scouting mission, for instance? And could they be sure that Dr. Abbott really left the facility to visit his sister? (Viewers know, but Leo doesn’t, that a zombified Dr. Abbott is among Lyla’s test subjects.) How could they be sure, mused the poor dupe, that the military wasn’t lying to them? He had an idea to achieve that end, but even as the season wrapped, we were left in the dark about what exactly it was.

Picking up where “The Deepest Cut” left off, Hope took aim at Huck and got her to admit that she was CR. Before the interrogation could go much further, walkers intervened, and Hope lost the firearm in the ensuing fracas. Afterwards, Huck revealed that Leo was never in danger and that the last two messages the girls had received had been from her. She’d assumed that Iris would try to talk Hope out of going after their father, then Huck and the isolated asset could have just taken off. Why did they have to make the trek at all? That was part of a master plan to get the asset to — wait for it — see the world in such a way that she understood the importance of her father’s work. (Hey, I didn’t say the show was perfect, just that I came to like it.) And all of this, Hope marveled, was about… her? “Kid,” Huck replied, “you have no idea who you are.” Folks with intellects like hers were going to be needed in the future — heck, if there was even going to be a future. The two were absolutely not cool; Hope even rejected Huck’s offer of Peeps. (That’s a major grudge right there.) But they banded together to hide when Felix and Iris caught up with them in the truck they’d repaired with supplies found in the retirement-home room that had supposedly been full of dead bodies. (Not sure, but I may have just reset my record for most exposition stuffed into a single sentence.)

the walking dead world beyond recap season 1 episode 10 finale‘YOU’RE NOT A MONSTER… YOU NEVER WERE’ | Meanwhile, because the characters on this show can’t seem to help bumping into one another in the middle of nowhere, Silas was reunited with Elton and… wait, wasn’t Percy dead? Hadn’t Silas killed him? Nope, Elton happily reported. Percy had just been almost executed by Huck. Just as the trio was about to set off to save Iris and Hope, who should roll up but the CR! The guys made it as far as the fence that stood between them and safety, but then Percy decided to play hero, staying behind since in his injured state he’d just slow them down and leave a trail of blood to boot. “No way,” Silas said more or less. “This is my hero moment.” He locked Percy and Elton on the exterior side of the gate, cut his hand and surrendered to the CR. (At least they didn’t, as I feared they would, shoot him on sight.)

Back at the house in which Huck and Hope were hiding, they were forced to reveal themselves to Iris and Felix, at which point all hell broke loose. Felix pulled a gun on his former pal, Hope blurted out that Huck was CR and that leaving was the only way that Felix and Iris would live, and ultimately, the ex-besties engaged in a brutal battle royale. By and by, Huck got the drop on Felix and would have killed him, however reluctantly, if Hope hadn’t threatened to shoot herself in the head. The whole point of Huck’s mission, Hope explained to Iris and Felix, had been to get her to the CR facility. “Turns out I’m smarter than I thought.” The situation defused, the sisters said a fraught goodbye before Huck left with the asset in tow. The following day, when Huck and Hope rendezvoused with Elizabeth’s chopper, Mommie Dearest made it clear that she knew about the “loose ends” her daughter had left untied. In the woods, Iris had no sooner gotten done telling Felix that Hope wasn’t the asset, it was the Bennett sisters together, than they ran into a whole mess of people, among them Will. The lovers had a lot of catching up to do!

So, what did you think of the finale? The show certainly ended Season 1 stronger than it began it, wouldn’t you say? Grade the two-parter in the poll below, then hit the comments with your reviews.
