It seemed to have spiraled out of control very fast. _________________________ POLITICS, WAR, ECONOMY, CONTROVERSY! and other heated discussions and debates in the PWEC sub-forum at the bottom of this forum main page.

I bet they don't cover it, part of what's cool about it is the ignorance of "what's going on and why" on the part of the survivors. _________________________ •XBL/Steam/Xfire: Raw Kryptonite MWO: Defcon Won •Logitech G27 Nixim •AMD FX-4170 •Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 & 6970 2GB GDDR5 Crossfire •16 GB Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz PC3-12800 •MSI 990FXA-GD65 Mobo

Raw Kryptonite Beat the Kobayashi Maru Hotshot Registered: 04/04/08 Posts: 9461 Loc: MS	In the after-show "the talking dead" they mentioned how it's set in a world that doesn't have knowledge of zombies, as in movies etc, which is why they call them walkers. The writer said that in the graphic novel series they sometimes slip with mentioning "zombie" but they prefer not to say it. _________________________ •XBL/Steam/Xfire: Raw Kryptonite MWO: Defcon Won •Logitech G27 Nixim •AMD FX-4170 •Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 & 6970 2GB GDDR5 Crossfire •16 GB Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz PC3-12800 •MSI 990FXA-GD65 Mobo

I guess as long as they are internally consistent then it makes sense.

Raw Kryptonite Beat the Kobayashi Maru Hotshot Registered: 04/04/08 Posts: 9461 Loc: MS	Another great episode! Dwaye continues to become the best and most likable character. Rick's wife more and more the least likable. Next week's episode looks like it's going to be HUGE! Wonder if Merle has the girl? Go Glen! Get some!

Actually, ever since started by Romero, part of the Zombie mythos is that the word "zombie" is never used to describe the zombies. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NotUsingTheZWord _________________________ "Hello.
