Yes, I'm aware of Bass Masters

Good point, El Pato. That terrible Juggalo version of the Joker from "THE Batman" is easily the worst ever.

Perhaps we may find out that theres some difference between folks who turn to zombies after death, and those who turn while still alive. Does every dead body turn into a zombie, regardless of how they dies? That may suggest some kind of air-born pathagen that doesnt manifest until death. Then in that case, being…

That Shane and Rick are just pulling ideas out of their asses because they simply have no better way is a pretty plausable explaination. Actually, probably better then my over-thought-out one. Though I still contend that Shane decided to go along with the CDC plan because he didnt want to seem to be in conflict with…

Wow, I guess I didnt lay the sarcasm on thick enough. I guess thats my own bad sense of humor at fault. I was really trying to make FUN of those people who always complain about the way characters on the show dont ALWAYS behave like seasoned Green Berets, how they sometimes act a little irrationally out of emotion or…

I didnt think it was the Worst Joker Ever, but I do think that it was a candidate for Worst Attempt to Shoe-Horn Fan Appeal and Mass Audience Appeal into One Movie.

I dont think he's saying it gets worse as it goes along generally, just that theres some inconsistency in quality. There are episodes in the later seasons as good as anything the first two, but theres always some bumps along the way.

I'm so hip, I dont even watch movies anymore. I just read the story boards. PT Anderson is sooo much better that way, guys.

Just to add some more praise, I really dig Pierce's insight that Batman TAS did for cartoons (or rather, daytime superhero cartoons) what Stan Lee did for comics in general in the 60s. I think thats a really good point and one that I've never thought of before.

Yeah, for me the real emotion that the zombie genre feeds off of is dread. Now, most American cultural historians point to the Cold War as a source of dread that manifested itself often in the horror and sci-fi genres from the 40s to the 80s. The dread not really being the totalitarian Communist state, taking over…

There are pacing problems, but to be fair, this is a genre which previously had only existed in film. I hope that next season they find a pace that works better for an on-going series.

Really, Kirkman is great with ideas and concepts, but servicable to decent at best when it comes to executing them in the comics. Hes great at making you want to see what happens next, to his credit, but his dialogue and characterizations are hardly anything to be emulated. And the episode he wrote was really the…

As Alan Moore has said (I think, anyway), there are no bad characters, only bad writers. At this point, there really aint any such thing as a character who doesnt fall into some trope or archetype or cliche. You could either put some twist on it, or just play it up for all its worth. Frankly, so far I've enjoyed the…

Well, if TV and movies have taught us anything, its that every piece of zombie fiction seems to operate by its own mechanics. And as Jorge pointed out, it appears from the preview at the end of the episode (no spoiler here) that maybe Andrea was infected, posibly from being too close to Amy's blood. So we'll see.

I think that when the dead come back to life, your attitude toward death is really a work-in-process. There seems to be a certaint contingent of viewers, folks who take Max Brooks' Zombie Survival Guide to heart, who really get worked up when anyone on this show behaves in a less then methodical, rational,…

I think that it was disagreement over which location would be most likely to survive the outbreak, which would be the best protected and manned and supplied. Its a legitimate argument to have. Think about Romero's Day of the Dead; who gets the resources in the event of global catastrophe when it really comes done to…

People mourning are stoopid. The whole show should be about a military-like regimen that does everything right to survive and kicks everyone's asses and totally OWNS in every scene. People making mistakes and acting emotionally and loving eachother is SO fucking LAME! ARGHHHH!!!

I'm with mratfink, to me the most effective zombie horror is when their presence is totally unexplained in any reliable way. Zombies arent strong, smart, or powerful in much any way, but they create that persistent feeling of dread, that you may be able to kill them individually, but theres no way to eliminate them…

So, you're one of those Dont-Call-Me-A-Chick chicks?

Well, Scooby-Doo can DOO DOO, but Jimmy Carter is smarter!
