Things That Bother Me About Zombies

[h_loves_c]

Specifically, the zombies of The Walking Dead, which Corey and I have been watching in 3- and 4-episode chunks over the last week or so

Forget the zombies, but it is so nice to see you posting about something normal. Because zombies are normal, right?

[h_loves_c]

Totally normal!

I think these are all valid points, w/r/t a show that tries to explain zombies as a virus and not a supernatural being. They behave more like they've been body-snatched by a parasite.

[h_loves_c]

Exactly! I could buy zombies with a supernatural origin, like if they wanted to kill people because of EVIL. But not this organic hunger-driven nonsense.

I love you. That is all.

Ha! I'm pretty sure I'm driving Corey crazy because I keep asking him these kinds of questions. I also spend a lot of time talking about the tactical errors that the humans on the show make.

It's possible I take my zombie apocalypse too seriously.

[corniecorn]

i second this

[ponylub]

Ha! These are all super awesome questions.

I have a similar set of complaints about vampires. :)

Vampires, zombies, they've been beat to death. I'm predicting mummies as the next big thing. I should start a series of mummy romance novels..

[h_loves_c]

You can use a ghost for the third leg of the necessary love triangle!

[notmarcie]

Do you watch Being Human? Ghosts, werewolves and vampires, with cross-monster love. There was a zombie in it too, plus a succubus.

How do mummies work? Their brains have been pulled out through their noses so it can't be brain stem,

[miocaro]

How gross would mummies be under their wraps? This is why vampires get the romance novels--no physical decay.

All this discussion makes me think that Frankenstein's monster may be the best one, scientifically. But he's kind of a zombie, having been reanimated. Hmm.
