The Walking Dead

They both are dead, they both eat the flesh of humans, and they both can be killed with a stake through the heart.

I guess that I can have a conversation with a vampire though, unless it's Edward Cullen - he seems as brain dead as a zombie.

technically vampires feed solely on the blood of humans, not the flesh.

And since when can zombies be killed by a stake through the heart? Sever the spinal column or destroy the brain, that's how one kills zombies.

I am not going to last long in a post apocalyptic zombie infested world, am I?
 
And to get technical the Walkers in the Walking Dead universe aren't zombies as in that universe the concept of the zombie never entered pop culture hence no one being genre savvy. And the title refers to the survivors not the Walkers.
 
I love Morrissey's governor. The GN governor is more of a completely evil mustache twirling cartoon character (if you know the actor Danny Trejo basically him) where Morrissey plays him almost like a corrupt Southern Politician and a sociopath which I think is so much better and a great interpretation of the character.
 
The last episode was riveting! A storm's brewing.

I wonder how they find so much diesel for the tank though given that it drinks fuel like, well, a tank.
 
An Abrams has a 289 mile per tank range (on a 500 gallon tank). Assuming you find one above ground diesel storage tank it will have somewhere around 10k plus gallons of diesel fuel in it. Even assuming they picked up the tank at Fort Benning (when in show they've been shown abandoned at random intervals like in the middle of downtown Atlanta) and that Woodbury is actually where Senoia (the town its filmed in is) then its only approximately 90 miles from Benning to the Prison. If the fictional Woodbury is actually in the location of the real Woodbury its only about 60 miles away.

That is the one thing people forget about a ZA, other than perishable goods (and in real life non stabilized fuel is a perishable good but in the Walking Dead it isn't apparently) people truly underestimate the economics of scale. Other than growing the stuff that will rot, a ZA scenario (where the population is reduced by say 99 percent) is pretty much the end to physical scarcity. Now of course service industries, innovation, and other human capital would be hard to come by.

Sounds like they can only bring the tank out for special occasions.
 
What an episode! Just when my interest starts waning, BAM: they kill off lead characters. Love it.
 
Withdrawal symptoms: it looks like the next episode will be in February. :(

Anyway, last night I watched the webisodes from the first three seasons - top stuff! It gives you a backstory of how other people crossed paths with the show's main characters.
 
I am totally not one to watch TV series, all I watch are documentaries and some sports...

...However after persuasion from a couple of zombies in work and the missus letting me know in the same week that seasons 1 to 3 was free to download from Sky we gave it a go.

After 20 mins I was sat Homer Simpson like on the couch unimpressed heckling the fact that they had just done a rip off from 28 Days Later and it was going to be crap, blah blah...!


....then after the first episode, the next was on, then the third and to cut it short I am actually enthralled by it. I am currently about half way through season 3 and without shame admit to being addicted to a TV series.


I just wonder how many seasons it will last? what caused it the dead to rise and how will it end ??
 
Did anyone see the most recent episode? Wow. It's a difficult episode to watch. Gripping stuff.
 
I haven't seen any of season 4 yet and cannot seem to get a copy anywhere. Anyone got any suggestions?
