I really like The Walking Dead. Anyone know when season 2 starts? I can't understand why they're driving around in a 70’s Winnebago, though, with all of those empty vehicles to choose from! We had one that wasn't that reliable in the 80’s! Oh well it's TV. I'm waiting until that guy they left under the tree comes back to bite someone— he should have been put out of his misery. And the guy left on the roof, too. What is it with Zombies that I/ people like so much?

I don’t know if it is zombies so much as it is the post apocalypical setting.

Pre-computerized ignition systems vehicles are easier for the shadetree mechanic to work on.

I thought I read somewhere it will start back up in October ‘11.

Because it’s owned by one of the characters before things went bad. So they know it works, and most importantly they know it doesn’t have an alarm (loud sounds draw zombies). The problem with all those other vehicles sitting around is they know nothing about, they don’t know if they work, if the engine is load, if it has an alarm, how much gas is in it. Yeah a better vehicle would be nice, but you have to get it, and that entails a number of risks.

Zombies are popular because vampires got ruined. Vampires used to be a solid source of intractable evil for stories, vampires were bad, they were never not bad, and the hero character would always have to fight them. Now vampires sparkle. But zombies can’t sparkle, zombies will always be the enemy of the living. And they come with a great end of the world scenario that lots of people like to consider.
