I thought that it was the cross that made the smoke, not the silver. And the craxy spike was on a wooden or stone one, I thought?

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
Ah. Right. That makes sense. Cross.
Perhaps his rings are pewter?
Platinum baby!

Not in this thread, and not with this precise group of people.

You're acting as if we've never rehashed/beaten a topic into the ground. Are you new here :)?
We probably have had this convo before. I'm just memfaulting.
for the record, Romero didn't use the word 'zombie' in his movies... I haven't seen the last two or three so I'm not sure if that's changed.
In Being Human, there's been no reference to silver...even in the context of Werewolves, actually, as far as I remember. What they did have reference to was other symbols of faiths(Star of David, but not always. Intention is key), and that the spoken words of scripture have some effect, as well (which raises whole other questions, but that's neither here nor there).
It's interesting that silver and iron are often vulnerabilities for supernatural entities. I know there's symbolism behind them, but those are ones that tend to be forgotten/ignored often as well...I'd bet that they're ignored more in visual media, as you have to be more careful in your prop and costume choices (see above conversation). However, I have few to no data points to back that up
