As an 80s kid, this scratched an itch I didn't know I had. I loved every minute of it, and didn't feel the need to be snarky about any of the derivativeness or predictability of the show at all.

What we had here is what's missing from every genre show that tries the police route - an actual grounding in police procedural. For those of us who wanted an actual sci-fi cop show, this is a great thing. The first episode did everything it needed to: It gave us the setting. It showcased the major players. It gave…

The first of the series felt rushed, this should have been one of those two-hour 'movie-like' pilots. The robot vision and cool glow circuits aid the audience in the make-believe that Dorian is a machine.

I don't mind that SHIELD didn't show up for the big fight in Greenwich. I do mind that SHIELD doesn't seem to be keeping any kind of tabs on Eric Selvig:

My wife's uncle owned a factory in China and he said that the one child policy was leading to a labor shortage and as a result workers were making more demands. I of course said "sounds good to me". But I…

I'm torn about this. Restricting human freedom such that a couple can only have one child is the very definition of draconian. On the other hand, we don't need any more people on Earth. The leadership must believe that they now have the wherewithal to support a much larger population, and with modern farming…

Keeping it in the freezer (in a tupperware or baggie) can keep it fresh longer. Or so I've heard. You know, from OTHER PEOPLE.

35mm film! (For those of you old enough to remember...)

Why?

In fact at several points he apologized to his fans that he had to leave because of the pressures from the syndicates. In fact his whole argument about non merchandising the franchise was for us the readers. Not for him. He didn't want C&H to get tired and old. He didn't want people to get sick of them. He didn't…

At least a giant peach.

Once they arrive in England, they are immediately attacked by British troops who then annex the city and claim: "So you colonists thought you'd gotten away with it, eh?"

Romero is both right and wrong. Zombies aren't being used currently as an allegory for the injustices of society like he did, but are being used to represent our fears of the fragility of the modern world.

now they will live in a haunted house...
