Whole Buncha Emmy Noms [I read stuff]

Wherein I read things, laugh [or not], and pass them on to you…

Emmy’s all around, for Hell on Wheels, Breaking Bad, Walking Dead and Idris Elba. A trailer or two, and info on Wolverine and The machine.

• “A lot of unfinished business, Mr. Bohannon.” AMC’s Western drama “Hell on Wheels” returns for a second season on Sunday, August 12th at 10pm, and from what we can glean from the network’s promo below, the transcontinental railroad is still being built, Cullen Bohannon (Anson Mount) is still pursuing vengeance and opportunities to take baths remain few and far between.

• Walking Dead: “I think where we are going to pick [back up] is two people, living with an entire group, where the key is survival and survival means needing the person next to you, and, if you have someone you love, needing them even more, and I think the bond only gets stronger.” – Steven Yeun [Glenn] told AccessHollywood.com at Hyundai Undead: “The Walking Dead” 100th issue release party at Petco Park at Comic-Con 2012.
