“I look at it as sort of a primer for “What NOT to do when the World Ends”. I get a laugh out of all the stupid things the writers have these people doing.”
Exactly! That prison they’re in is a deathtrap; and it’s not going to last much longer as a refuge. I’m surprised it’s lasted as long as it has. We’re seeing death from both inside and outside of it. As in any horror movie, locking yourself IN is a loser strategy.
What they should have done is relocate to an island. They’re far enough south where the winters shouldn’t be a killer and they wouldn’t have to worry about zombies until the people on the island die, at which time, a bullet/knife to the head fixes that.
Inevitably, the zombies are going to win out anyway; it’s a numbers game, sort of like the numbers game here of producers vs. takers is.
RE Island:
Some years ago, there was a remake of Romero’s “Dawn of the Dead”; at the very end (in the outro while the end credit music rolled), they got a boat and found an island. The boat was out of fuel, so they were kind of f*****. As they pulled up to the dock, the dog they had with them leaped out and ran into the brush... and was chased back by a horde of ravenous dead.
In that scenario... there is nowhere to run to.
I’m not big on Zombie shows. If I wanted to watch those, I’d turn on the PBS Sunday Public Affairs shows.
