I know. The zombie apocalypse requires a lot of suspension of disbelief. There's a creation problem that always bothers me: in order for a zombie herd to exist, lots of people would have to get bitten, then escape danger, die without being eaten and turn. But when a herd sets upon someone, it invariably rips them to…

I know that filling the WD-shaped hole in my life will be easy once I take the crucial step. Just have to walk away and stay away.

Is there a better show currently screening than this?

I'm going to quit this show. This is my quarter-year resolution. The Walking Dead is bad. I only watch it out of habit. I will quit this show right after they introduce Negan and his character arc peters out. I will not sit through another mid season slump. I will not.

Werner Herzog should be behind the camera. I would appreciate a subplot in which some loveable eccentric who's survived against the odds tries to bring culture to the wastelands of Georgia by staging a full rendition of The Ring of the Nibelung, using actual zombies which the cast members have to dodge while…

I didn't want Denise to die. She was a nice person and a useful one. But by Christ I was relieved when that arrow brought her insufferable pep talk to an end. Did anyone else think the writers were mocking their own tendency to fill the show with pointless speechifying when nothing much is happening?

My formula for survival in the zombie age is to get everyone decked out in those gizzard smocks that seem to do a perfectly good job of repelling the zombies when the script calls for it. Then they could be farming instead of living off tinned goods, which has to be hell on the digestive system.

I thought of this too. The only reason I would get laser-eye surgery is to be apocalypse-ready. Groping around in a blurry hellscape populated by flesh-eating monsters is not an appealing idea. I would already struggle to survive because I have no real skills outside the office.

Yeah saw that. It wasn't obvious but there was something there. I think it was deliberately ambiguous, so we have our doubts about the supposed defector. They planted the seed and now I'm guessing she'll be important later on.

yep, what is it?

I know. The music is still on and the lights are swirling over the dance floor but the party's over. Definitely watching season 4 as it comes out.

Because if it doesn't it's useless. Useless as a marzipan dildo.

How about shows you would be more inclined to keep watching if only they would kill off a major character? For me:
-Walking Dead (Rick, and I'd like him to die in an anti-climactic way, like a staph infection or a broken leg)
-Downton Abbey (literally every single one of the 'upstairs' lot, in a bloody uprising…

Fuck I love the Cold War. Fuck I love this show. Fuck I wish I'd started watching a year ago so I wouldn't be sitting here shouting into the eternal silences of cyberspace.
