Here's a couple of things I've noticed about the end of the world stories.
1. Why don't they watch their kids better? After the little girl got lost I couldn't believe how many times the boy got away from his mother. I told my husband, 'Whoever writes this isn't a mother.'I watched my kids better at the beach than the women watched their kids in this show.
2. Who is mowing the grass? It's been two months since the breakdown of society and this is Georgia. I don't how fast grass grows in Georgia but in Virginia it would be up passed their knees by now.
3. How long are the undead going to be hanging around? If they are moving and hearing and eating....by any biologists' definition, aren't these people alive?
4. This is nitpicking a little, but- they enter a Baptist Church and see this huge crucifix. Again, I don't know how it's done in Georgia but around here, crucifixes are found in Catholic Churches and crosses are found in the Protestant Churches. I could be wrong about that because I understand that Independent Baptist Churches do whatever they dang well please.
5. Any body living on the East coast in a Southern state knows that if we ever had a zombie infestation in the summer we would all be infected because of the mosquitoes. When a mosquitoe bites you, it can spread diseases from anyone else it has bitten. So the infected blood would turn everybody into zombies.
UNLESS....mosquitoes are attracted to humans because we breath out CO2. So would they not bite the undead because they don't breathe? What do y'all think?
I have to agree with Webbie. You have a very... different disagreement or points to make concerning a zombie show. I'm taking it you are commenting on The Walking Dead. I have only seen the first season. I know they are on the second season at present.
1. Kids are difficult to watch under the best of circumstances. A beach is easier to maintain viewing of children versus in a woods/forest.
2. Who's mowing the grass? I'm scratching my head at someone watching a zombie show worrying about why the grass isn't higher than it should be, in your estimation. My experience with grass, in high summer, is that grass tends not to grow as fast or tall; if it grows at all. Not field grass, but home-domesticated grass. However, since the grass isn't growing that fast, maybe it's zombie grass? Not alive or dead?
3. I've always kinda wondered the same thing. Are they digesting the meat they eat? how much of their internal body works and how much doesn't? We know the brain works in only rudamentary fashion. Instead of wondering about grass, how about this: does their hair still grow? And fingernails? Like an actual dead person's?
4. I haven't seen them in a church yet. I have never been in a catholic church, but I have seen crucifix's in a lutherine/methodist church before. And I think once in a Baptist church. It was ages ago, but it sure wasn't a catholic church.
5. I think we need to know what exactly is the mechanism that creates zombies before anyone should be afraid of mosquitoses. Is it through human saliva or blood; since there doesn't seem to be a mingling of blood when an alive person is bitten by a zombie.
6. Now HERE's something that should have caught your eye: in the first series, a zombie comes close to the camp. When they find the zombie, it is eating a deer. If zombie's are slow, how did it get close enough to catch the deer? Was the deer sick? And if so, then what is MO for going after meat? Could they survive on fish? Squirrels? Rats? Mice? Although, to be honest, except for that deer, there hasn't been many animals shown. Where are the dogs, cats, birds, etc?
