The Walking Dead (2010–2022)
Yay! More uselessness on TV.

OK, zombie 101: The human brain can live about 4 minutes without oxygen (blood flow). Something in the zombie brain keeps it alive longer. The only motivation of a zombie is to eat.

Check.

So.....

Why don't zombies just eat each other? How does any of that nutrition get to the muscles to keep them working?

How long can the brain keep moving voluntary muscles moving after the involuntary system has shut down? Shouldn't Rigor Mortis kick in and make movement impossible?

What about nerve decomposition? Total body decomposition depends on weather, animals and insects, but usually insects can strip a corpse in about 2 weeks. So, therefore, any zombie exposed to the elements shouldn't last more than 3 weeks. Hide for a month and Ta-Da, you win!

But let's focus on issues with episode one. (An hour and 7minutes? Really? Did they go over their time slot by 7 minutes or was there 53 minutes of commercials? (Either way, I'm glad I watched it online.)

Why did the zombie child pick up the toy?

Why was the cop wearing underwear in the hospital? (Makes it tough to change the catheter and bedpan.)

Why did zombie mom keep coming back to the house and turning the doorknob? How did she even know to try looking in the peephole in the door?

If zombies have enough deductive reasoning to look under the tank for the cop, and knew how to set up an ambush, why don't they know how to drive?

Oh, and in the midst of all this, let's not forget the love triangle and the drama. (Hooray for forced, ill-conceived, predictable drama!)

All in all, another poorly thought out, played out, poor excuse for entertainment.

You're kidding, right?

Warning: Spoilers
OK. It's not at all scary and there is no gore except for a bloody t-shirt at the end. It would be a "G" rated movie if they didn't use the f-word for half the dialog.

Here's a transcript of the whole movie. (pretty much verbatim, stretched out over 2 hours)

Guy: Haha, you're being stalked by a ghost.

Girl: F@#$ you.

Guy: I bought a camera so we can see your ghost.

Girl: F@#$ you.

Psychic: I'm a psychic! ooooo.... I feel something....evil. So, I'm going home now. Goodbye. (30 seconds of screen time)

Guy: Haha, you're talking to a psychic.

Girl: F@#$ you.

Guy: Wow. That door closed on it's own. We should get a Ouija board.

Girl: F@#$ you.

Guy: I got a Ouija board!

Girl: F@#$ you.

Guy: Look it caught on fire (special effect #1) and now there's a demonic symbol on it. Help me decipher it.

Girl: F@#$ you.

Guy: I put baby powder all over the hall, and now there's big frog footprints to your side of the bed. (special effect #2 - bad stop motion)

Girl: F@#$ you.

Psychic: I just dropped in to say I'm still a psychic. (15 seconds of screen time)

Guy: Wow, something pulled you out of bed and we got it on film. (special effect #3)

Girl: F@#$ you.

Guy: Honey, where are you going with that knife?

Girl: F@#$ you.

Police : Police! Put down the knife! (bang!)

THE END
