Cuz you're the one that wants to bang Bowling Ball Head. Are you also aroused by hot air balloons in flight?

You didn't mind her massive, spherical, bowling ball-like head?

If she has a solution for the combination of online anonymity and human nature, I'm all ears.

It's subtle, all in her terse delivery and the shifting glances of her eyes. I could be wrong, but it seemed clear to me at the time that the hospital staff knew what kind of unpleasantness was going to happen to anyone who died on the premises.

They're also anti-Elvis impersonators.

Westboro Baptist Church

That's just the LAUSD, cousin. They treat students more or less like POWs.

And the nurse was clearly signaling the doctor to keep mum, as Nick was right there and liable to figure out what was going on (and that they already knew about it).

The only thing I know for sure is that his withdrawal will be a TV-friendly duration of one long weekend or so, versus the many weeks that the real-life dopesick have to endure. Nick will also suffer a TV-friendly set of symptoms that reads more as "mild cold" than "barely functional and teetering on the brink of

Yeah, refined gasoline starts to break down after (iirc) about 6 months, definitely under a year.

It also has them NOT doing that very simple thing to protect themselves routinely. They also fail to wear even basic body armor. How many people would have lived if they'd just worn neck guards or shin pads?

Maybe not. If realism is the main concern, then it's going to turn into The Road pretty quick.

It's also the oft-stated purpose of TWD's creator to explore the long-run effects of a ZA scenario. That's the express purpose of this enterprise. If that's not for you, move on.

But that scenario discounts human learning and factors other than abstract probability, and reduces the spread of the phenomenon to a model bearing no relation to how we react and interact. We've had lethal plagues in our history and if it was just a matter of disease vectors in a vacuum then we'd have been wiped out

Or that stored gasoline still somehow works. Or how antibiotics, painkillers, and other drugs with limited shelf lives are still effective. And that untended nuclear plants and other volatile facilities haven't reduced the entire landscape to radioactive ash.

Plus, HBO would have had the sense and good taste to not break the last season in two just to squeak another year's worth of Emmy nominations and marketing juice out of it. Same with Breaking Bad.

"I got the results of the test back… I definitely have zomb-ism."

The biology of zombies is such flagrant nonsense that I prefer a supernatural explanation. Viruses, pandemics, etc. have to follow organismic rules. On the other hand, demons be demonizin' all willy-nilly.
