Do you watch “Revolution” or “Continuum”?

No. I was never interested in Continuum and, as for, Revolution -- I simply could not stand the young woman who was the "hero" of the piece. It is hard for me to watch a show where I don't really have anyone that I am interested in. That was my reaction to Revolution.

I am a fan of Defiance on the SciFy Channel. I thought it was well done, and I like the "Lawkeeper" character and his alien sidekick.

I think it is the little girl who was “naming” the Walkers.

consider that most people didn’t live normally past 65 in 1918 and that explains why 99% of flu victims were 65 or less. not surprising.

The first couple of episodes of Defiance were pretty rough but they have some serious talent that makes it better. The opening scene of Nolan and his alien daughter Irisa singing and old Johnny Cash "Goin to Jackson" tune was a good sign.

Tony Curran is one of my favorite actors anyway. He usually does action movies but one of my favorite roles for him was as Vincent Van Gogh in a Dr Who episode.

don’t think they will explain it. any attempt will leave gaping holes because it’s a flawed premise and any explanation would have to jive with 4 years of precedence in episode footage.

And Glenn dies in the comics, when confronted by the Governor.

True, but very few little ones fell ill from the 1918 flu. Usually the flu hits the very old and the very young the hardest. The 1918 flu hit mostly young adults.

I just got an email, there is now a Offically Licensed Michonne Katana.

I'd get one, but it's not sharpened.

all you guys have great picks.

carl. carol. the girl naming them. kind of rule out carol, i thik she’s just knowing it’s important for the kids to have some defense skills, given her own daughter’s situation. she’s more stable now than ever, really. more confident but not rambo-ish shit-kicker-ish.
it’s carl or the girl.

In the comics it wasn’t the Governor who did that. It was somebody else mean & nasty.

I don’t put much stock in the belief that people lived shorter lives then. Much higher infant and child death rates bring the average down fast but doesn’t really speak to actual ages.

I’ve been doing a lot of genealogy research and I’m finding that most males who survived to adulthood in my family were living into their mid 70s and 80s back into the 1500s and 1600s and they were mostly hard living frontier people. I’m seeing lots of women who died in their 30s and 40s but I attribute it to them being pregnant for decades on end. The children were the ones who contributed most to the average. If 5 out of 10 children survived to adulthood, you were doing pretty good. When it comes to men dying young, it looks like sailors took the biggest hit.

Zombies are an impossibility anyway, so any attempt to explain it too much would fall apart in the viewer's mind. They have to be vague about a lot of stuff to keep the willingness to suspend disbelief.

That, and the fact that this takes place in the near future/alternative present, which means that Obamacare could not handle it, and allowed the destruction of the population.

In the 28 Days flick the “zombies” actually did run out of energy after a while and kind of rotted away.
