I can't get along with this show for more than 20 minutes till my suspension of disbelief kicks in like an intellect-withdrawl and I shout things at the tv. How do the fucking walkers live ? They can't hunt, grow crops, eat soil, so how do their bodies function ?
"Look - three shots to the chest and they still keep on coming - what thing that's alive does that ?" the guy said tonight as he shot them in the chests. Exactly - how ? Nothing that uses a central brain that only operates by being fed a supply of regulated, oxygenated blood. Nothing that uses that blood to supply muscles that it operates under conscious control to direct it towards food, or stay upright.
You just can't change the rules this much, and still try to explain it with ideas of 'base brain activity' or some such shit. It's either - they're magic, we don't know, OR you leave in the rules - the laws - of biology. Sorry, that's one massively major fuck up for me that ruins the whole premise of that and any other zombie show or film. They're all bullshit for people with no basic understanding of biology or with a willingness to forget it.
Is there anything like this but for smart people ? People who went to college and didn't forget everything they'd ever been taught ?
This show could be good if they just concentrated on making the characters realistic and didn't fucking moronically fudge the rest.
That fucking old farmer guy - these people, desperately trying to make their way through a world gone crazy, no law, no state, day to day brutal survival, under the shadow of almost certain death, arrive at a farm where the owner won't tolerate them and has a barn full of walkers - the idea that it's 'his land, his rules' would not apply.
They would shoot him because he's a direct threat to their safety. That's how people behave in desperate situations, when there's no law and their lives are on the line. I'd fucking shoot him, and so would you, the stupid old fuck. Take the farm. If you think any other way, then that's just naive, I'm sorry.
Fucking zombies. What a stupid idea.
Fuck them.- someone got a dose of reality for thanksgiving it would seem...********
- haha :). Good sci-fi is about how something slighty, subtly different casts a different light on humanity. This fails on the science and the human drama.mikotondria3
- science and the human part.
Other than that I really like it, I think it's excellently shot, scripted and edited.mikotondria3 - It's well cast, and well colored too. The sets are good, and the wardrobe is perfect.mikotondria3
- perfect for a race of undead unrealistic zombies that is ;)********
- Of course. Only having their brainstem active precludes successful laundry completion. That's a given.mikotondria3
