It makes sense that the first ones to fall victim to the infection would be people with weakened immune systems.

I have never seen any of the original, etc., not because Of any bias, but just never took the time. Must be popular, so what am I missing?
It's basically the zombie apocalypse following several people as they eventually band together and figure out how to make things work in the world with massive numbers of zombies. When people die, they become zombies as they're already infected with the zombie bug (unsure if airborne, contaminated water, etc). The fear of the walking dead is set in California and shows the beginning of the outbreak. The walking dead is set in the Southeast, mainly Georgia, and focuses on the fallout as the years pass. It's really well made.
Dave,
I like watching the zombie genre TV shows for fun but have never been convinced by their premise that slow shambling zombies would simply over-run the whole world. After the initial shock passes it is just too easy to deal with them. Remember the first show where a dead soldier was found inside a tank? - How the heck did that happen? Armored vehicles and tanks, even without considering the guns, would be a great way to deal with massed zombies - just turn them into zombie ribbon. However, at least I liked some of the characters in TWD from the get go - can't say the same for FTWD.
I found one line unintentionally funny - the mom of the addict turns to her live-in/psuedo-step father to the boy and tells him to "stop enabling" the boy by investigating his story about the Church. This from the woman who has actively run interference with him from the police, keeps paying his way through various re-habs and is angry at the doctor for calling in the police in the first instance.
Easy.
Imagine being stuck in a locked car on an Oklahoma summer afternoon when the air temp is between 105 and 110.
Now imagine being stuck in an armored box with no gas, no windows and people all over trying to eat you for a couple of hours.
You'd die from overheating real quick.

It isn't that easy to run out of fuel in a tank and not notice it coming (at least in an Abrams) and if nothing else you could run your way through the zombies to open space - nah, just don't buy it. But then again since the premise includes zombies I guess it is hard to insist on "reality" as a baseline.
Man, you guys in the Air Force must think that everyone has their own refueling plane zipping along side them.
Or maybe it is just us guys on the ground don't have as far to fall if our "ship" runs out of fuel so we may not pay as much attention to the fuel gauge!!!
It would be easier than you think to run out of fuel, and not be able to get refueled, especially in an urban environment like downtown Atlanta.
Tell my you, your spouse or your kids has NEVER run out of gas in a civilian vehicle.
Plus, their was only one guy in the tank. It takes more than one guy to run the tank. Maybe only one to drive, but once you stop and try to man the guns, you are stopped. And all those squishy zombies will get caught in the treads and muck up the tracks as you drive thru them. Puts a lot of drag on the engine. Maybe clogs up the intake vents. And you think running over a skunk gives you an "aromatic adventure", imagine all them zombies!!

I think one of the premises of the show is that "everyone is infected." In other words, if you fell off a building trying to escape and broke your neck, you'd reanimate as a zombie. Same if you died of a sickness or infection.
