But I already made that joke.

Shut up Awkward Smile. YOU'RE JUST JEALOUS THAT YOU'RE NOT FUNNY LIKE JASON.

I'm just really slow.

NEW EPISODE TONIGHT.

Why did they keep calling the zombies "geeks"? That's stupid. It's a zombie show, you can say zombie.

Yeah, I know what the word means. Thanks.

They call them everything but "zombies" for some reason.

Maybe zombie movies don't exist in the show's universe?

I could've sworn they said "zombie" in the first episode... maybe I'm making that up. Maybe it only happened in my wildest dreams.

It's already been picked up for a second season! Hooray!

Rubicon, however, remains in limbo. Booo!

This last episode wasn't as great as the pilot, but it was still really good. I have high hopes for this series.

A lot of movies/video games don't use the term zombies anymore for some reason.

Dexter · Worst Poster of Always

Perhaps it's becoming cliché.

I think Shaun of the Dead answers that question:

Ed: Any zombies out there?
Shaun: Don't say that!
Ed: What?
Shaun: That!
Ed: What?
Shaun: The zed-word. Don't say it!
Ed: Why not?
Shaun: Because it's ridiculous!

You know what I don't like? The part in like every zombie movie where they've reached their home base or whatever and they're safe for the moment, and the one guy in the group who seems to have his shit together takes the moment to explain to the rest of the group "ALRIGHT, SO IT SEEMS LIKE THEY COME BACK TO LIFE AFTER THEY'VE BEEN BITTEN, SO IF ANYONE'S BEEN BITTEN YOU NEED TO STEP FORWARD NOW, AND ALSO IT SEEMS LIKE THE BEST WAY TO TAKE THEM DOWN IS BY SHOOTING THEM IN THE HEAD AND BLAH BLAH BLAH" Like seriously? Do we really need this part? We all know how zombies work.

Or how there's always the scene where the sidekick gets bitten, and hides it for a while, and everyone is very sad when they have to kill him.

And the scene is very long, to make it clear that they're very sad.

Does anyone watch Community? I loved their zombie episode this season.

Honestly, the movie that I think did this best was Shaun of the Dead, where he has to kill his mom. It's actually like a genuinely touching scene.

watched the show tonight, so this thread is relevant to me now, and therefor relevant period.

A guilty pleasure of mine is stupid internet quizzes. In light of our topic, I introduce:

The Walking Dead Survival Test

According to the test, I am a Tough Chick:

"You're intelligent, headstrong and defiant. Although inexperienced and sometimes terrified, you are strong and courageous. Even in the face of overwhelming despair, you have the psychological resilience to become a tough-minded soldier with the help of your companions."

AWESOME.
