Oh, and it looks like Merle will be back for season 3. He and his brother (Daryl) are two of the unique (and awesome) aspects of the show vs the comic.

I'm also going to disagree with those who said that much of season 2 was boring. Character development is an integral part to this series, in both its forms. That's what was so great about the long lull in action in season 2. Everything is (mostly) happy and safe and then, BOOM! Zombie swarm and everyone gets fucked up. Same in the comics. It adds to the action, imo, and does some justice to the amazing comic series.

I'm also looking forward to more main characters getting offed, which is another trait of the comics. In this world literally nobody is safe

also, has anyone ever been curious as to the timeline of the apocalypse relative to real time during the season(s)?

it's something to think of simply because of how the show began (rick being in a coma, among other events)...

check this ish out http://walkingdead.wikia.com/wiki/Television_Show_Timeline

pretty interesting timeline to follow

cool...didn't know there was a wikia for it

Goddammit, i wanna know what caused it (outbreak) and the overall big picture story. (worldwide, armies, etc). I also would be incredibly pissed off and angry if Kirkman allowed that to happen (which he's said he won't do).

The above is a major reason why I love the franchise :lol

i think the season will move a lot faster this time...though i'd imagine a big focus will be placed on plot development with the main characters of the prison...the thing with season 2 is there were several episodes that could be termed "feeder". I hope we don't see any of that shit come this next season.

It's a comic, and there have been times when 4 or 5 issues would ship and there would be little to no "action". Character development has always been an integral part of the series in both forms

I realize everyone has their own opinion, but people need to stop crying about things being "too-slow". If you have a short attention span, stick to watching zombie movies instead

There were two glaring problems with these webisodes IMO.

1. When that guy pours the ashes out of the yearn, all of a sudden there's a fucking horde...no sound or indication they're nearby? Lol

2. I guess the entrance to the storage facility remained open after being broken into because there was no indication that it was shut by the fat guy. Oh and :lol at that last webisode, the fucking backdoor is still open when that guy enters it.

In the big scheme of things I hope we get to see these characters during season 3. I have a feeling they will make an appearance. It was weird seeing Rick's family portrait in those boxes...there is something there.

I like how they stroll in after the couple leave in the truck. Let's not follow them, the fresh meat, and the loud noise; no, let's just stroll around in this empty, silent warehouse!

other than that, I liked the fat dude's plan. kill the others, keep the girl alive for sexual purposes. that's how I would do it. that's how any man should do it.

Finished Season 1 and 2 on Netflix. Some good episodes and a lot of bad ones.

All of the characters suck except my boy T-Dog and Daryl. I'll miss Dale saying "T-Dog." Herschel is cool because he has a gun with unlimited ammo.

And yeah, season 2 was slow as hell and it had nothing to do with character development lol. That one daughter's suicide subplot was the dumbest thing ever.

10-06-2012, 06:35 PM

Season 2 moved so slow I just gave up on the series and started investing in the graphic novels instead. Much better choice. My mom really likes this series though so I think for a lot of mainstream people who haven't gotten into zombie apocalypse scenarios much, the mere fact it's about normal people in a zombie apocalypse is enough to keep their interest.

The part where Rick made a run for it in the prison yard and was shooting walkers in the process was very similar to the time he was trapped in the tank and made a run for it and met up with Glenn. The 5 minutes of the episode were intense and "holy shit".
RIP half of Herschel's leg.

I like how the producers transition straight into the survival journey. I hope Herschel survives.

I fucking loved that episode last night. Couldn't have been happier, unless of course Ricks wife died. I hate her character so much. We watched the last few episodes of the marathon last night leading up to the premiere and it just dawned on me that pretty much it was all her fault. Had she not given Shane false hope, he wouldn't have tried to kill Rick, Rick's stupid kid wouldn't have fired the shot, and the zombies wouldn't have come running.

When she mentioned that she thought the baby had died, I was so excited to see a zombie baby rip her mother apart.........no such luck though. I also wish I hadn't seen so many previews for the season because it kind of spoiled the part at the end when they were walking thru the halls.

I've also decided that I'm going to wait until this show is cancelled and then start reading the comics. From what I understand, they are similar but very different and I don't want to be bummed out at any point that the show didn't follow the comic. I'm treating both of them as stand alone stories.

Yeah I was thinking the exact same thing when she said she thought the baby was dead :lol

The comics are really really good, if the show followed them more it'd be amazing but nevertheless the show is still good. Hopefully this season builds on the first episodes excitement

10-15-2012, 04:36 PM

Just watched it, it was pretty good. As usual, hatred swelled up inside me when I saw Rick's kid and his disgusting pregnant wife; nothing would please me more than for the bastard in her oven to die and eat her insides.
It would've been a great episode had it not been gay at the end, when in the halls. Going hall to hall, room to room...all clear.....UNTIL IT'S NOT! Yeah ok. And since when did zombies become smart enough to sit down and act dead as a trap? C'mon writers. C'mon.

I know right? I know 7 months have passed and all and the writers are trying to make him more "grown up", but he's a little fucker who ruins people's lives.

I noticed that about the guns too while they were shooting through the fence. C'mon people, you're actors. "Act" like you're shooting a real fucking gun.

Last night was the first time they ever tried to conserve ammo

Only reason I can come up with is that since they've been going town to town and house to house, they came across some. And if they had so much gas, they shoulda drove their happy asses back to Ricky's police station. They left a ton of guns over there and who knows what else.

Did anyone catch bald lady flirting with Darryl

Capt Bringdown

Outstanding opener - I got a feeling this is going to be the best season yet. They finally nailed the zombie apocalypse vibe.
Still, Lori remains the most annoying, cringe-worthy and least compelling character. I literally LOL'd when she tearfully wailed "he hates me."

I miss the photos in the intro. I guess maybe the show stopped doing the intro like that since Shane is gone. The gang doesn't have an infinite amount of ammo and gas. I'm sure they are resourceful on gathering ammo and gas. And from the season premiere, it looks like the gang has gotten a lot better at defending themselves and hunting. They act like a unit when they are in battle mode.

'Walking Dead' Breaks Basic Cable Record, Scores 10.9M Viewers

By Tim Molloy | The Wrap – Mon, Oct 15, 2012 1:13 PM PDT

"The Walking Dead" returned in its third season premiere to 10.9 million viewers, making it the most-watched basic cable drama telecast ever.
The episode, which found a band of survivors cleaning out a prison full of walkers, grew more than 50 percent over last season's premiere, and scored an astonishing 7.3 million viewers in the key 18-49 demographic.

"Thank you to the fans for making 'The Walking Dead' such a tremendous success," said Charlie Collier, president of AMC. "We are honored and humbled that television's largest adult audience resides on AMC. So many people on both sides of the camera worked tirelessly on this project, and I thank and congratulate each of them for their amazing contribution."
As AMC noted, it hit the ratings high without "Walking Dead" airing on Dish Networks, which have dropped AMC networks. Dish claims they score low ratings outside from Sunday dramas, but AMC contends that Dish is seeking leverage in an unrelated lawsuit.

Interesting. Looks like they've got a license to print money on their hands.
The show almost died for me last season. That whole business with the farm was too drawn out and not very entertaining. They've turned around it around in the last few episodes of season 2 and I hope they continue with the good stuff in season 3.

And since when did zombies become smart enough to sit down and act dead as a trap? C'mon writers. C'mon.
I didn't read it like that. It seemed to me the zombie was being a zombie - he was just sitting there all zombied out until a snack passed by.

My beef with the final sequence: White spray paint on light colored walls? That was a giveaway, as in "this is how they'll get lost in a pitch black tunnel/maze". Seems to me that road flares would have been a no-brainer, and they wouldn't be hard to come by since presumably the gang's been living on the road. As an effective means to distract, flares would be a indispensable part of their arsenal.
Also, why didn't they use the prison guard's body armor to make an anti-zombie suit? Haste makes waste.

I was reading James Cameron's response to the Myth Busters attempt at getting Jack and Rose from Titanic to both float on the headboard. He said "They couldn't both fit because the script said Jack dies". I imagine that if the TWD group always made the right decisions, less people would die, but the show would be less interesting and suspenseful.

Well, then you get dim characters making bad decisions that result in bad outcomes, which is one of the main beefs a lot of people have with the horror genre plots/writing. This tendency, of bad events following silly or half-baked character choices, is often how the horror genre is parodied, most recently in the movie, The Cabin in the Woods.

I think when bad things happen despite the character's intelligent or rational decisions - This angle is inherently more suspenseful and interesting IMO.

That being said, my comments are the nitpickings of an obsessed fan. Still enjoying the show, but it's also enjoyable to discuss and spitball aspects of the show in detail.

I read this once about horror/monster movies: "When you watch a movie about vampires, it's about vampires. When you watch a movie about werewolves, it's about werewolves. Zombie movies differ in that they're not about zombies; they're about people." Following that line of thinking, you'll nearly always get dim characters making bad decisions because, in general, people are dim and they make bad decisions. We can hardly blame the writers for that :lol

On a totally different note, as soon as the zombies came out wearing riot gear I said to my wife, "awesome, they're finally turning it straight into a video game". I loved that shit, it was like a 'boss' in the game 'Kung Fu' from back in the day.

Just watched it; it was pretty good. It was fairly obvious that the be@ner leader was gonna get his ass cut; it was just a matter of time especially after the final clearing. And I was laughing pretty well when he left homeboy out there to scream like a girl after his bitch move. I'm fairly certain that was Merle out there stalking Carol; next week's ep should be good as well. A welcome relief from the bullshit that was season 2.

Bynumite, the writers can't save those two. I don't care if they pulled a cure out of their ass. They need to die. Preferably have the mother turn then have her eat the kid's face off.

I thought we would see more of the black swordswomen and the blonde girl but I guess it'll be next episode when the "governor" comes

jeebus

10-22-2012, 05:00 PM

yeah, that whole ep next week will probably be introducing those new characters. I'm totally fine with that, just as long as there's no more bitching around a farm house and trying to pull fat ass zombies out of a well.

Lincoln

10-22-2012, 05:01 PM

What is up with the helicopter? We saw it in season 2 leading the zombies to the farm but why is it flying around Atlanta? Is it scouting or something to do with the governor??

10-22-2012, 05:48 PM

No clue. Probably first shown in season 1 to just give hope but I'll bet they dash that in the next ep.

I love the action so far, but they're going to have to get back into more character development or it will suffer in the long run.

Not sure about that. For example, are there any characters that you're invested in? The strength of the show's concept is not character study, but the zombie apocalypse. Nobody's dialing in every week to see how the character's emotional landscapes and personal dynamics are developing.
I hope this season and the show in general will be more like the movie Aliens than Fried Green Tomatoes. I think Aliens struck the right balance between characterization and action/suspense, with the priority placed on action/suspense. If they start getting too heavily back into the soap opera speechifying which characterized season 2, I'm out.

Rick fucking that dude up with the Machete is probably my favorite moment of the series. Awesome

I sure hope that was Meryl in the woods, can't wait for his return. Will have an interesting effect on Darryl and his new role as Rick's right-hand man.

I think there has been quite a bit of character development this season, especially with Rick. We are now seeing the ruthless side of him that a lot of fans were asking for. As much shit I give Lori and her character, her honing up to her shitiness as a human being was awesome. Daryl has become the right hand man of Rick and has certainly developed into that character. Aside from Mr. Greene, the Greene sisters are really irrelevant to the show, I'm probably the only one to find them annoying. Carl is growing up and it's showing. I expect the characters of T-dog, Andrea and Glenn will begin to develop under this Ricktatorship. It remains to be seen what will happen with Andrea and her situation. Merle will definitely make an appearance next episode, I can't fucking wait for that.

Shit is about to go down these next couple of episodes.

Glad to know you speak for all humanity. And what the hell is with the fried green tomatoes reference? I'm not saying it should return to the same formula as last year, just that it shouldn't be a constant gore-fest. The best part about the show, imo, is how it is incredibly realistic in how it approaches what humans would do in an incredibly unrealistic scenario. The down times and the interactions are what build toward the inevitable zombie killing sprees, making them that much better. Furthermore, it's much more fun when somebody you give a shit about, whether positively or negatively, gets their face eaten by a hungry Walker. If they don't find that balance, it just becomes a special effects showcase. I trust Kirkman to keep the spirit, if not the same storyline, as the comic book. And guess what, that involves people talking to.each other about stuff, sometimes with long breaks between action sequences.The writers are capable of doing a good job of this if guided in the right manner.

just saw it, holy fuck tonight's episode was amazing and sets up the future perfectly. I'm loving the post apocalyptic community that we haven't seen until now. Reminds me of the Fallout games. Governor is a badass, I was really liking the character till the military scene which made me realize he ain't fuckin around

And wtf was up with the aquarium? Damn this season is 3 episodes in and it's the best so far
The aquarium scene is indicative of, IMO, the governor's personality. He's a cruel motherfucker tbh. It's gonna be a battle of alpha male egos when he and Rick encounter each other.

Shit is about to go down these next couple of episodes. The episode after next week's, I think we will see both groups meet. Next weeks episode will showcase both groups, have some shit materialize, culminating in a meet between both groups.

Governor is indeed a badass, but a sick one at that IMO.

10-29-2012, 01:00 AM

Also, the executive producer is appearing on Talking Dead right now...he just basically confirmed the idea that the pathogen is viral
too add to this: I hope that the mode of infection from the viral pathogen is elucidated more...that scene with the lab guy give me hope we'll get closer to understanding more about that part of the infection IMO

hopefully the writers just don't completely dismiss this in the writings of the show

The aquarium scene is indicative of, IMO, the governor's personality. He's a cruel motherfucker tbh.

I think the writers are contrasting where the two alpha dogs currently stand. Rick hesitated before finally burying the machete in the prisoner's head, even though it was essentially a foregone conclusion. Meanwhile, the Governor has an aquarium of vanquished heads in his room Futurama-style.

Maybe they're saying if Rick and the Governor were to face off today, Rick wouldn't come out on top. Good thing we're only 3 episodes into the season.

Also, lol at a rag-tag bunch of misfits taking a bunch of Army guys completely by surprise. gmafb

I felt the same way. But upon watching it a second time, it seems the camera puts an emphasis on a hill in the background at the beginning of that scene. We see the Governor drive up and get their attention. Meanwhile, his men come down the hill behind the Army guys, fan out in the tall grass, and flank them. At least that's the only way I can explain it.

I havent read the comic books, but what you see as an addition to Woodbury, the Governor it seems sees them as a threat.

I would think its because...where the fuck did the military guys come from?! It would seem there *IS* a government still in effect, somewhere, to be sending out National Guardsmen around in choppers. The Governor, as was implied, enjoys his power immensely and if it were to come out that there is another civilization out there, he wouldnt have the monopoly in power he currently wields.

Also, from what I can tell, the chopper did not malfunction and go down. It was shot down by small arms fire (unrealistic obviously, unless we're talking about a Barret 50 cal hitting the engine of a moving, flying target...that would be a one in a billion shot). Thats why the Governor and his men were so quick to the crash site. They shot it down.

A lot more going on with Woodbury than meets the eye.

Bynumite

10-29-2012, 11:14 AM

I can see why the governor wouldn't want those soldiers in Woodbury. The governor wants to be the man and have everything under his control.

With the soldiers living in Woodbury, they would probably still respond to the man with the highest rank among them and not the governor. Maybe, guns and supplies are his priority and not more man.

Also, lol at a rag-tag bunch of misfits taking a bunch of Army guys completely by surprise. gmafb

I thought i heard the Governor saying they had a few army vets in Woodbury, unless he was talking about old man, that type of organized attack is not impossible.

CuckingFunt

10-29-2012, 12:20 PM

I remain intrigued to see how the Woodbury arc is going to play out just because what's happening in the show is SO different than what happened in the comics. Some of the character names are the same, and the image of The Governor watching his aquariums is taken from the comics, but otherwise the introduction of the town is completely different.

Son the pilot explained everything.There was an encampment,similar to woodbury but fell when a person was bitten.Then they traveled by ground but were stuck in a traffic jam,and took the (knowingly) malfunctioning chopper to look around.

Eh, it's a TV show, so I'm not really upset about the whole Army scenario. But to think those guys wouldn't have a perimeter set up with LP/OPs and guards out is preposterous considering you'd have a 360 degree threat from walkers. It was a bigass leap is all I'm saying, and one that would be expected from a TV program about zombies :lol

The one thing I really hope they include from the comic is the governors...Let's just say he cared for something in the comic book that may or may not be included in the show.

Everyone else is clean and normal and you got these guys that look like they roll around in pig shit all night. And it's worth mentioning again, :lol at the weekend warriors; fucking dumbasses got picked off by the one armed bandit and his gang of merry shitheads. I guess their only role was to stand there with their shirts off and look tough, not looking out for incoming walkers or whatever.

And that blonde lady is still a dipshit. I took a little pity on her earlier in the season cuz she was dying and shit but now that she's better, she's turned back into the retard that shot Daryl (I'll bet you forgot that).

I'm really hoping that the kid has his head chopped off and added to the fish tank collection later on, hat and everything. oh man, that would be some sweet justice for being so useless.

Andrea is still a super idiotic character, I don't know why the writers feel the need to keep her ditzy blonde schtick alive. As far as the baby goes...if I were Rick, I'd place that thing in a cage on the other side of the prison. all those walkers that got in would be drawn to its crying and leave. finally, there's a good use for all that damn crying.

11-05-2012, 10:41 AM

^At least the walking dead is not one of those horror movies/series where the writers refuse to kill children. Carol's daughter died, so there's always a chance Carl can die too. You have that to look forward to :lol

One can only pray Carl dies in the worst possible way; like if he was paralyzed from the neck down and stuck in a room with a zombie head that slowly nibbles him to death. Rick will finally get his hat back and stave off skin cancer to his head after that..maybe he can shack up with the blonde daughter afterwards.

The writers are totally trolling us though. They kill off T dog who was the most dependable guy in the group with absolutely no baggage. I guess that's the price you pay when (supposedly) Lori gets skullfucked by a bullet.

Even if they don't get many lines, they were already way over the black guy quota. That's why they had to kill 3 black dudes in the span of 3 episodes.

Now T Dog is dead and was almost instantly replaced by a bigger black guy. It's like the movie/tv series The Highlander "There can only be one." :lol

11-05-2012, 12:09 PM

This season is the first time that I'm kind of wishing I was watching without the knowledge of what happens in the comics. Probably because the prison/Woodbury arcs are by far the highlight of the comic series thus far, in my opinion, and I'm more attached to that narrative than I was to the farm or the Atlanta stuff.

I understand that there would necessarily be differences due to the fact there are different characters, but they way they've split up the two stories and somewhat accelerated the plot changes the stakes and changes the dynamic of the situation in a way that I think is unfortunate. For instance, I think it's somewhat important to the overall plot that Rick see the prison as a place worth fighting for when The Governor finally shows up to claim it, but I can't imagine why he would now. In the books the group is at the prison for several relatively calm months (relatively) in which they're able to fall into a new routine, whereas on the show they've been overrun by walkers multiple times, lost Lori in a pretty fucked up way (regardless your thoughts on the character, her death was harsh), been severely fucked by the rogue inmate, and have a screaming baby to take care of all within the space of, what, a couple of weeks? The way things have gone so far, if Merle or The Governor show up soon and demand to take the prison, I can't see why Rick wouldn't just hand it over. It's been pretty shitty so far and they've lost more people there than they did in the eight or so months they were on the move.

That being said, I thought the episode was very strong on its own. I don't think I'd have any of those concerns if I didn't have the books to compare it to.

I'd argue that Rick would be the type to say "We've lost so much already, it won't be in vain. This was where we wanted to have the baby and now it's here. People died because of a mistake that I made and I won't let it happen again" and thus would fight anyone that tries to take over the prison.

jeebus

11-05-2012, 01:40 PM

Hollywood always uses the book or comic or whatever as a guide; they never follow it. They'll have mostly the same characters and locations but that's about it. I can't see them bypassing the winter like they already have then bypass a few more months while being at the prison. That's just way too much time and not enough action; the fucking farm was boring enough. I never read the comics and I might later on just to get that perspective, but the way they're doing things now is ok with me. They might not even have the governor show up and demand the prison. A third party could be introduced like the army/national guard or whatever, which would spice things up quite nice.

Besides, if the governor does show up and say "give me the prison", what the fuck is Rick gonna do? Go to war with a few pistols and super limited ammo against Humvees with .50 cals? Shortest battle ever.

The episode was awesome, emotional and poignant. It definitely sets up the battle between the Gov and Rick, however it shows you that the Gov is only doing what he's doing to protect his way of life. This is the same thing Rick is learning to do. Maybe they aren't that different than they appear....only time and experiene is what's between them. Who knows, as I haven't read the comics. It will be interesting to say the least.

I fucking hope not

Judging from the sneak peek (rick's face when he asks, "where are you"), I think the writers are straight up following the comic book.

symple19

11-12-2012, 03:30 AM

Hopefully they'll start exploring Michonne's background a bit more soon, especially now that we know the insanity phone is in play. Can't help but think she and the Governor will meet again. They certainly did in the comic, lol.

Really enjoyed this ep, but the gladiator ring came off way better in the comic. Felt a bit forced on the show.

Also, comic book Andrea>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>TV show Andrea

Still, I'm glad the crazy is starting to come out of people. Hopefully more is yet to come

Snoozer episode. Didn't really advance much of anything. And Andrea (Laurie Holden) is painful to watch. One of the worst episodes of the entire series.
3/10

AussieFanKurt

Pretty average ep to be honest, as people say nothing much happened really.

They should have followed the comic book closer - yes I am a broken record

So in the Talking Dead segment where Nicotero talks about a deleted scene, he makes it seem as though Carol is actually dead vs. they just assume she is dead, but I don't know for sure.

Seeing that big bloated zombie made me think...do zombies take the rankest shits imaginable?

And at the beginning of the episode when the scientist guy gives Andrea a glass, I said aloud "what's in the tea, dog?" and laughed to myself. :lol

Boring? No. 40 minutes of talking around a farm and 30 seconds of tense music and shots of zombies in a barn is fucking boring. This episode was just furthering along the plot, not stalling it with "I'm the leader! No, I'm the leader! I fucked Lori! I fucked Lori too!"

Since Lori is now dead, Andrea has become my, "I hope she fucking dies" character.

11-12-2012, 05:37 PM

Definitely, with Carl as a good second choice. I love how the writers are trying to get us to like him more by having him try to be mature or whatever, but it's not working. Never forget his faggotry from the first two seasons!

I think they're doing a poor job with the Michone character. Coming from the view of someone that hasn't read the comics, I don't fucking care what happens to her at this point. They're going to have to do a back story episode about her soon because right now, I don't really care if she lives or dies. And that sort of sucks because from what everyone has said, her character is supposed to be really bad ass.

On the other hand, it was because of this thread that I was convinced that Lori was going to live and that Carol was gonna show up having fixed her. I was very pleasantly surprised when they implied that the bitch got eaten. Good for the writers!

Because she got covered in zombie guts so it disguised her in a way. The zombies didn't smell her so she blended in. This happen to Rick and Glenn in season 1, though once it rained on them and wash the guts away they got noticed.

All survivors are already infected so when they die they turn.

When a zombie bites a human the infection from the bite kills them, and they die and turn. The reason hershel lives is cause they cut off the area of infection.

11-19-2012, 01:33 AM

Episode was great for buildup.

Andrea is indeed a slut. She gets off fucking men with power or those that yearn for it.

Cant wait to see when Michonne spills the beans to Daryl.

11-19-2012, 03:07 AM

so it's not bloodborne then?
From what I've read (and seen from the series), bites cause a fever with meningitis like symptoms (season 1 finale). This fever kills the host then reanimation occurs thereafter.

Couple of weeks back a producer of the show appeared on talking dead and indirectly revealed the pathogen to be viral (he called it a virus). Given that we know that the virus remains in latency (its a tv show but if we want to use basic virology, here it is), upon penetration of a walkers teeth or nails into a human the virus is activated and undergoes it's lytic cycle...since Jenner said it attacks the body like meningitis, I'm assuming the virus follows a mode of transmission similar to commonly known viral pathogens which leads to a meningitis like infection. What activates the latent virus? I'm assuming some sort of chemical in bodily fluid of the walkers.

AussieFanKurt

11-19-2012, 03:43 AM

Okay episode I guess. Glenn should have gunned down that redneck.

Michonne safe because of so much blood on her, they work by smell or thats what it implies in first lot of comics. Glen and Rick I think go out among walkers covered in blood and guts and are fine, must be smell thing

Capt Bringdown

11-19-2012, 05:25 AM

Fair episode. The crazy phone bit was more like tedious phone. Michonne is an interesting character in that she provides a kick ass dimension that is lacking.
I feel like the series is stumbling because the zombies simply aren't that threatening. There needs to more of a balance between the threat of fellow human survivors and the zombie apocalypse.
In addition to the humans adapting to new circumstances, it would be interesting for the zombies to do so as well.
