[QUOTE="Peabody, post: 1638535, member: 3663"] I think that the writers are out of touch with the fans of the genre. They have some misguided thought that women will watch this show, and therefore need to include female themes. My wife doesn't watch this show, she watches Boardwalk Empire and then reads a book while TWD is on. Zombie canon is pretty straightforward. There are rules. We all know the rules, they don't need to be re-stated. Only a damn fool would go hand-to-hand with a zombie without first putting on some safety goggles and at least a handkerchief on the mouth. We can pretend that TWD is occurring in an alternate universe where the potential for a zombie apocalpyse is unknown, but wouldn't the show be 10 times better if the characters were reading Generation Z and watching Zombie movies to get up to speed? The comment about the cars being a graveyard was deserving of a straight-up ***** slap. Yes, let's not consume the 50 gallons of water because that would offend some dead people. If we find an operational Humvee with a .50 call machine gun let's leave it behind to honor their memories. It is not realistic. A mother with a small child is not going to think twice about scavenging. Also, would any parent under any circumstances allow their kid to leave the RV until/unless you establish a safe beach head? Really? Okay, junior, go and play but be home by dark. Don't talk to strangers (especially the ones that groan and try to eat you). Quit writing the show for women. You are wasting your time, and wasting the opportunity to make a solid SciFi show, which is all this is. [/QUOTE]
