There HAVE been several hot chicks as extras, it's just that with your 'livist' prejudices you haven't seen them.

I do really like the show but still appreciate a funny recap. Much like the actual show, it started off really strong, sucked for a chunk, and ended big.

Great recap, thanks for the link. I'm sorry the show is getting melodramatic, but talking, talking, talking is kind of in its genes.

I do like the show, I think it's one or two things away from being great, it gets so many things right you need for a TV show (good acting chemistry, interesting look, unique story for TV, lots of tension) but doesn't quite have that dynamic dialogue or emotional depth for it to be much better than good.

Hell on Wheels looks pretty sick.

And there's nothing wrong with that to me. some things can just be fun to watch and don't have to be epic/transcendent, etc.

Sorry, forgot where I was for a minute. Fuck Breaking Bad!

Best show on TV and it's not even close

OK, so according to the writer, they had no conception of zombies in their world.

Really? Isn't that pretty much the standard idea for all regular (i.e. non-comedic/ironic/hipster/Jesse Eisenberg-influenced) zombie movies/shows?

They were like Voodoo Frankensteins, right?

What was the political undertone of 'Night of the Living Dead'? Were Zombies communists or capitalist consumers?

There WAS a movie made in 1959, called Invisible Invaders, in which aliens occupied the corpses of the recently deceased and tried to take over the world, I guess that could be called a zombie movie predating Romero. it might have given him the idea.

For any fellow nerds, there is a show on history channel right now about zombies. Looking at the history of the concept of zombie-like creatures, zombie's impact on pop culture, and probably interviewing crazy scientists/visionaries who will predict the coming zombie apocalypse

I am enjoying the show trying to look past the amount of absurd writing that is starting to pile up.

Dale is apparently surprised that they haven't found a cache of antibiotics in the abandoned cars. Really, who deosn't drive around with stockpiles of antibiotics? We find out who does, X and meth addicts always keep stashes of doxycycline for their chronic cases of the clap. Who else keeps ABs in the glove box for those annoying cases of the clap?

The woman seems awfully calm that her child is lost in woods crawling with zombies. I'd be hysterical if my dog was lost in woods, even without zombies.

Grimes has a bad case of cabin fever/ants in the pants. He is constantly coming up ith excuses to leave the farm house. Gotta go tell Lori, gotta go to the school and get supplies, gotta go after Shane. He has to go to the 7-11 and get some OJ. Just let him go already.

How do people stay well stocked with orange juice in a post-apocalyptic zombie world?

If my child were sustained a life-threatening gunshot wound in a post-apocalyptic world and it just happened to be in the bachyard of a man with medical training who possed some medical supplies, I'd be on my knees in awe of my dumb luck. Lori chooses to curse him because he's a vet then tells him he's in over his head. WTF? Take your son to the nearest hospital then Lori.
