Zombie on Human Love Nixed for Walking Dead Season 2

If zombie/human didn't happen in the comics what made the interviewer think it would happen on the show? I mean sure that thing with the CDC didn't happen in the comics but this is kinda different.
Why? In character driven zombie fiction, there's no need to know. It adds nothing to the story. The survivors don't need to know why there are zombies around, just that they need to survive.chickenlord said:
Think about this. Before the age of Twilight, did we think of vampires as acceptable romance figures? What if Edward was a zombie and not a vampire, like he wore makeup to cover rotting skin and ate animal brains cuz 'I don't wanna be a monster', would it have really been any different? Okay so maybe zombies don't normally do that, but the same could be said for vampires. Appeal to the masses in the right way and anything can be done, including making zombie on human action.Tom Goldman said:
What? No zombie-human romance? What, are zombies not people now? And I'm guessing us zombie lovers are less of people now too? Bunch of ignorant bigots if you ask me...
Plus zombies are always rotting corpses that happen to be walking around. Always. With vampires there are some monsterous ones, sure (the original idea of the vampire was this), but there are also ones that fit right into human society without any apparent oddities except for a small appetite, really pale skin, and a rather weird sleep schedule.
Actually vampires have been a symbol of sexuality for quite some time now. Twilight wasn't the first to come up with the idea. There have been plenty of books and movies dealing with "sexy vampires".Grabbin Keelz said:

This is a relief, I suppose. I mean, I wasn't expecting anything like this anyway, but whatever.
I'm just glad that AMC hasn't realized that they are too good for basic cable yet. Here's to hoping that they remain oblivious.

The whole "Zombie / human lovin'" question I kind of understand. Afterall, there is actually zombie porn so someone out there is into that (Maybe it is like Necrophilia without the guilt? Because the Zombie may be a rotting corpse, but they are still moving around). But asking if we'll see that in Walking dead? Wtf
That is not the kind of show Walking dead is. Thats more of a D- movie idea like Zombie-stripper or something.

I agree. Discovering the origin is part of the horror of zombies as a plot device, in traditional Lovecraft fashion. The ultimate understanding of the world one lives in, the acceptance of how things are and what the characters need to do, are also essential parts of any good adventure.chickenlord said:
But in a fictional story i enjoy when a mystery comes to light... it could be at the very end... i dont care, if there was an actual zombie apocalypse and the government couldn't control it, I would really want to know how it all startedKorenith said:
Even if the zombies are dead they wouldnt last that long, i remember reading an article on the subject matter(unfortunately i am unable to find it at the time) but it said that due to an advanced military power, temperature exposure, and the poor way the zombies spread the disease, the zombie infestation wouldnt last a month or 2.DTWolfwood said:

the survivors survive for well over a year with the zombie horde still "alive" and strong
Yes but you are trying to use real science in a fictional drama XD that in itself is the wrong way to look at things. I mean thats like trying to justify the things that happen in Lost with physics heh, its better just to go with the flow.
If there was a real zombie outbreak, i.e. the George Romero slow zombies, It would never cause an apocalypse any ways, as it would have been easily contained. There was even an article [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/102413-Professor-Investigates-the-Effect-of-Zombies-on-World-Politics] about its affects on this very website XD
The original post of that article may be the one i mentioned, or something very similar. But yeah, for the drama of it they dont really have to use real world scenarios but i still would like to find out what happened, and why the government couldnt handle it and stuff like that because... well i find it interesting in any zombie movie/game/book/...etcDTWolfwood said:
