The Walking Dead

Season 1: Takes place over several days, possibly several Weeks.
Season 3: Starts with a time skip past winter. But Lori is still pregnant and it's brought up that she's not sure if it's Rick's or Shanes. So the mid point of S3 is no more than 9 months from the second episode of S1
I'm not sure she'd have started fucking him within weeks of learning Rick was dead. But maybe.
 
The Viral Cause is probably the most effective premise for zombies.. it's a meningitis type of virus according to CDC (before it self destructed) and somehow therefore generates it's own bio-electrical impulses to maintain muscular mobility. Thus the headshot to take them down.
What I never got about zombies is why they have to eat? I guess non dangerous zombies just shuffling about makes for boring TV/movies.. :rolleyes:

I can buy viral cause, I'm just saying that once cellular metabolism stops, a reanimated corpse will have a very finite 'shelf life' because the energy to keep them moving has to come from somewhere. I can even buy that as a reason said zombies have to eat; because the reanimated brain is getting 'hunger' feedback from a body running out of energy.

Again, with a viral cause, a zombie may keep going for a number of days, maybe a few weeks, tops. But they won't keep going for months & months (unless there is some supernatural component or there is some basic metabolism going on in which case said zombie isn't actually dead & decaying).

I think the remake of "I Am Legend" works better as the victims of the disease aren't actually dead, and while they cannot turn survivors into another diseased individual, they do swarm & kill non-diseased individuals.

I arrived in town Sunday so as to comfortably facilitate attending an early Monday morn meet...

...so, I had the opportunity of partaking of the luxury of visiting a Subway and taking advantage of the cost savings of their current $5 footlong.

When I walked in, the store was empty of customers and the two males behind the counter were raptly attentive to a television which was mounted in a top corner where the walls met the ceiling; one of them immediately turned his attention to me to take my order. After reciting it to him, I turned my attention to the TV, too, to discover what seemed to have them so enthralled...

...people were sitting around in some room, talking soberly; then a male stood up and began to speak about some biological program designed to kill every human on earth that, with some tweaking, could be used, instead, for whatever purpose they had been talking about. His original line of "you know, fire with fire", and the fact that he looked and spoke like a Billy Ray Cyrus offspring made me instantly chuckle at the C movie quality as I turned back to answer my server, who had asked me, Do you want this toasted?

Meanwhile, action was happening on the tube and I turned back to see this same group of people obviously making an escape through what was easily and instantly identifiable as a horde of zombies. My previous chuckle turned into a full laugh as I witnessed zombie heads exploding like hard plastered, paper mache orbs with tomato juice bursting forth.

I turned back to my server and asked, What movie are you guys watching? He proudly replied, Oh, it's not a movie, it's the Walking Dead. Of course it is, I thought...

...and as I left the Subway with the aroma of meatballs seducing my sense of smell, I thought of all the GBers who are just as enthralled with zombies and the Walking Dead and the common denominator between them, those Subway servers, and zombies themselves:

Mindlessness.
 
Calling Walking Dead watchers mindless...

...apparently unaware he just posted four paragraphs about eating at Subway.

Or you could just be a cunt.

I vote for the latter.
 
Walking Dead is creepy mindless bullshit, quite fitting of the creepy mindless bullshitter who started this thread.

I guess some people have better things to do with their decreasing lifespan in their dotage, like sit in a chair in front of a computer just to cut and paste disposable opinion farts off of hyper-conservative right wing aggregate news sites from morning until night.

Fun times, I tells ya! :D
 
People should be able to watch what they please, but I think adults have to be better parents when it comes to children and teens.
Yeah, that's why parents, in the 30's, knew Superman comic books were going to destroy America so they burned them.
 
Grim testimony to the growing vacuousness of society. One wonders about the extreme popularity in the 12-34 age group. it doesn't seem healthy to me that kids as young as 12 are glued to the TV watching people getting their heads blown off and others blown to bits. Liberals spend a lot of time crying about violence in society, especially gun violence, while at the same time steeping our kids in it up to their chins.

Yeah, because the Ozzie and Harriet television universe you grew up in — all white people with Brylcreem-slicked hairdos and separate beds for married couples — that you and yours promulgated as clean-cut influence worked out oh so well for everyone else's reality in America who were basically ignored on screen...until they could be used and exploited on your terms, as per a colonizer's mindset.

Instead of bitching about a fictional popcorn-entertainment fare television series beyond your generation's ability to process, go back to doing what you do best, which is being an aging conservative curmudgeon complaining about Obama, women, homosexuals and everyone with brown skin on down invading the country, ruining the "culture" and destroying your comforts by usurping your privilege.
 
Crazy black dude what lost his shit from season 1.

Can't remember his name right now.

Morgan.

He had the zombie wife and the kid. Rick shacked up with him a couple stays and they took a shower together at the cop shop.
