The Walking Dead...yep, another TV show


In general TV seems to be better than movies these days. I don’t know if its that they’re given the ability to develop a story over weeks rather than minutes or if the talented writers have simply jumped ship and headed to cable. Either way, I would like to thank those involved in The Walking Dead. I love this show because I love brain eating, blood drooling, foot dragging zombies. I mean come on, they’re undead and they’re awesome. They’re mean and aggressive yet lazy and stupid and I have a certain love for the little guys.

This October marks the beginning of the second season of this show and I am still really happy I’m on the zombie train. I really think the vampire trends come and go (wait..I’m a huge Trueblood fan too so that one doesn’t fade). Werewolves are just ok. But zombies….they’re just classic. They can be comedic or terrifying.

The Walking Dead focuses on a world were zombies have taken over and groups of people ban together to stay alive. It’s that simple. You can play it out from there. The main difference is the tension and intelligence in the story. I confidently give this series an A.
