It's IMO the most realistic post apocalyptic fiction I've seen. I really like the setting of Steven King's "The Stand" but Walking Dead is even better I think.

It's like a show set in the time of one of the bronze age collapses, with all the tribalism, brutality and uncertainty. A time when people can't look to the past for a reference, because history is being written from scratch.

You might enjoy Revolution then Douger. It's similar with the societal collapse and whatnot. Different premise, but the people still behave similarly.
Thanks Cute Tink, that was a fun show! I didn't care for the sci fi stuff, but it was a good show and I'm sad it ended.

Yeah I enjoyed it as well. Was interesting to watch how the different people interacted without any consistent authority to keep them in check

Despite some people I know protesting that I watch it because its "violent", I still watch it. Its not like other zombie things where its just made for watching gory ways to kill zombies. Its about the people, the drama, the survival. Sure zombies sometimes get killed in gory ways buts its not the main reason people watch it.

Is the newest season on Netflix now? When I was in the U.S. I saw a few episodes. The last one, I saw, was in a hospital. I didn't understand that scene, with the blonde girl, at the end. I don't want to give spoilers. Stop reading, if you hadn't watched the show.






Why did the girl, Beth, I think, stab the power crazy police officer, in the vest? The vest kept her from even feeling it, yes?

How many episodes are there, after that one?

I am not bothered by the violence and the gore, it provides escapism into a world full of drama, suspense, and a sense of day to day survival and how individuals deal with it.

I know someone that was in two hospital episodes. The old man who helped Beth escape. He and I practice the same martial art style and see each other at events. I don't know if he'll be back on the show. He's a cool guy. I saw him this summer and he told me how he was a mime when he was getting started in show business.

season 2 was my favorite until this onr, the last two were miserable. The whole concept has been the maddness of crowds I have always thought. Anyone can handle one or two but it's the horde that is truly terrifying. Its coming to that with the introduction of tge Wisperers, massive hordes and zombie cinema on an epic scale. I thought Maggie was being groomed as the new hero, but it's Rick's daughter apoarently. I thought Sophia would emerge as a hero but she didn't make it.

I really don't like the gore strangely, or the fatalistic nightmare landscape. I do like the fact that the struggle is to keep your humanity in the struggle to survive.
