Ah! The root of the problem...

Weirdly enough, I've never read zombie fiction that addressed the brain stem/main lobe issue.

Wow so let me say this, in case my posts only focus on the negative. I love this show, it's one of my favorites on TV. My wife even enjoys it and she hates zombie stuff... I couldn't believe when she started watching it. That being said, I can very rarely just watch/read/play something for...

Shouldn't be a big deal to use the Simcoe. That's what I did, turned out fine.

What you call whining, others call discussion.

There is a concept in games (video and otherwise) called the 'magic circle' which delineates the boundaries of the rules. Within the magic circle, disbelief is suspended and the game exists because the players agree on the rules. "The Floor is Lava" game works because everyone playing agrees...

Not to mention that they were all trained by combat shooters (Rick and Shane), so would have picked up these "good enough accuracy" bad habits.

This part is key. As long as the fictional elements make sense within the "rules" of the world then people barely even have to try to accept it. However, the clumsy stuff then jumps out.

If you read The Zombie Survival Guide, and World War Z, the zombies in that universe decay very slowly due to the virus that turned them into zombies in the first place. Also, they do freeze in sub zero temperatures. The Max Brooks world and the Robert Kirkman world aren't exactly the same but...

Not to mention that I'm not sure they could have made some of the tough decisions. One of the things I love about this show is how much they play with the idea that you can't trust anyone until you have to, and then you rely on them for your life. It's great job every group that has been...

Ve cut it off!

I'm not a fan of beer, just Ah-lees

Sorry. Text and all that. See now if you had comic booked your post I could have seen your facial expressions! :drunk: Any who. Back to Zombie stuff. Very interested to see how they develop Rick now, as the circumstances of Lori's death are pretty different... And obviously a big character...

I'm just as happy saying comic book, but typically comic books are short, serial publications and graphic novels are just that, novels. But yeah call it whatever you want, I don't care. Either way there is some good stuff out there, and like film, books, etc there are certain strengths they have...

I totally agree with you, and have tried very hard to avoid real spoilers. I'm just trying to say there is room in the thread for both comic readers and show viewers. The people I really feel sorry for are the DVRers :mug: And FWIW, not every comic book is a campy superhero story. There are...

I'm not saying it was created with that in mind, I'm just saying that discussing the source work for a tv show should be perfectly valid in a thread, as long as care is taken to avoid spoilers. And I wasn't being purposely obtuse, I honestly expected a lot more people to have read them.

To be fair, the thread title is not "The Walking Dead TV Show", it's "The Walking Dead". Many of us have read the comics and are enjoying the show and have enjoyed comparing the two which is a perfectly reasonable thing to talk about. There have been some very interesting departures from the...

Not a lot. They find the prison and clear it out, Hershel loses a leg, Michonne and Andrea chase a helicopter and get captured.

Pipes and Cigars is running some nice black Friday stuff right now.

In! Thanks!
