Especially when the zombie world is just outside the walls, so these people don’t appreciate what they have or realize how close death is.

[laplata]

You’re right.

[tbw2]

He was probably interviewed and said, “These people saved me and brought me here, hallelujah.”

[tbw2]

He should be focused on the new position, protecting the town, his children.
He’s probably been too amped up finding safe food, water and shelter for the kids to actually bond with the baby.
He sure as heck shouldn’t be thinking of seducing another man’s wife, breaking up a woman’s marriage.

[tbw2]

More likely AMC getting cred from the fed for pushing “gay tolerance” in the far-right conservative / survivalist demographic.

Now they.re in the proximity of DC estates that were built with SHTF designs. High fences. Then theres well supplied guv bunkers further in.

You might be right but I think it’s part of the plot to get them off guard.

The federal government in the past has given TV stations credit for putting its desired messages as content in a script instead of giving up air time.

Reference: FCC Warns TV Networks on Crediting Anti-Drug Messages; Federal regulators say viewers were misled about an advertising scheme and shows should have listed the government as a sponsor.
December 28, 2000|JUBE SHIVER Jr.

Even liberals then were concerned. Example:

“The thought of the federal government reviewing and inserting anti-drug messages into scripts of some of America’s most popular TV shows totally freaks me out. For the government to use television so subversively to spread messages sets a dangerous precedent. What’s to prevent a conservative White House in the future from spreading anti-choice or anti-gay messages through the same medium?”

From “Blogosphere: The New Political Arena” by Michael Keren

So now we see pro-gay messages in “The Walking Dead” to the screeching delight on the left of the “youngest gay kiss ever” of two 13 year olds on a different show.
In the same week or so.

The irony is that the liberals watch out for fascism on the right while ignoring it rising in their own party.

Liberals are the fascists that they accuse the conservatives of being.

Will you give it a rest.

[stuck_in_new_orleans]

Wonder if the “W” on the walker foreheads are upside down “M”’s and are involved with Morgan.

[cripplecreek]

Now I got nuthin to watch for another 23 and a half hours when Better Call Saul comes on.

[stuck_in_new_orleans]

Did anyone catch “morgan street” as Rick walked away from contemplating shooting the hairdressers hubby at the end?

[laplata]

I’ve missed it but will have to check it out. I saw one and could see where it could get addicting.

[stuck_in_new_orleans]

Bates Motel starts again tomorrow. It’s a very good series

Exactly!

Progressive = Repressive

Heck, that nursing home early on that Rick’s people found would have a problem with the residents turning and having more energy to attack people dead than when they were alive.

I know that TWD zombies are slightly different from those of Max Brooks, but...

“Too often, the undead have been said to possess superhuman powers: unusual strength, lightning speed, telepathy, etc.
Stories range from zombies flying through the air to their scaling vertical surfaces like spiders.
While these traits might make for fascinating drama, the individual ghoul is far from a magical, omnipotent demon.
Never forget that the body of the undead is, for all practical purposes, human. What changes do occur are in the way this new, reanimated body is used by the now-infected brain.
There is no way a zombie could fly unless the human it used to be could fly. The same goes for projecting force fields, teleportation, moving through solid objects, transforming into a wolf, breathing fire, or a variety of other mystical talents attributed to the walking dead.
Imagine the human body as a tool kit. The somnambulist brain has those tools, and only those tools, at its disposal. It cannot create new ones out of thin air.
But it can, as you will see, use these tools in unconventional combinations, or push their durability beyond normal human limits.”

Excerpt From: Brooks, Max. “The Zombie Survival Guide.”

Yes, I saw the Morgan street sign.

My twenty-something son shared this website with me. Some of the links do not work, and some are better than others. I prefer vidbull.
