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.
The Walking Dead:
I like it when characters are smart and think of ploys like covering themselves in zombie guts to stagger undetected (well, almost) through the mob.
Also really liked the one character noted that the zombie they chopped up for guts was an organ donor. It's part of why this show reaches beyond the routine scary grossness of the zombie movie genre and remembers that the zombies were once real people.
Yeah, that was yucky and smart and I agree about them remembering that the zombies were once people. (Also, they still haven't called them zombies on screen, have they?)
I remember "geeks" and "walkers" -- not sure. Perhaps I shall have to watch again.
I'm skeptical that zombies would suddenly hone in on them due to the zombie guts they were wearing being washed off by a sudden shower. Wouldn't the rain itself disperse any scent of still-living bodies so the zombies wouldn't be able to track it to them specifically? It should seem like the live prey scent was coming from wherever their runoff went.
I'll totally go with it, if only because their scent may have changed due to fear and adrenaline or maybe it washed away enough of the zombie's own personal scent that they could pick it up.

Look, turtles! Zombie turtles!

Gamera is really neat / he is filled with zombie meat
(sorry)
Hooray! Walking Dead just got a 13 ep second season order!
Zombie zombie zombie.
It irks me that they don't call them zombies. Geeks and walkers. It's as if they're in a world without Romero. Or Rob Zombie. So Faith never danced to Living Dead Girl in their alternabuffyverse. I find it upsetting. Why must they be in a world without the word "zombie"? It's weird, right?
It's as if they're in a world without Romero. Or Rob Zombie.
they are. the author of the graphic novels says that there is no zombie entertainment or myths prior to the event. so that's why they call them walkers, etc.
