The Walking Dead

[Common]

I like the show impractical jokers on TruTv. Theres other shows I like on that station too but alot of it is staged, like Lizard Lick towing and The pawn shop show.

I have't seen "Impractical Jokers" but will look into it.

Walking Dead's episode "The Grove" was awesome. Another reason why this show is so popular is that it doesn't flinch from the realities of what such a scenario would be like in the anarchy of a Zombie Apocalypse.

I had to catch up last night as I was out of town. It was intense. And the Talking Dead after the show reflected that. I try to watch the Talking Dead, but it is late on a Sunday, and this particular episode was very muted so to speak. The look at the flowers thing got the host and he had a hard time reacting.

It reminds me of Colonial America, where people who didn't fit in were executed because there wasn't time to devote to the "off" people when society's existence was in question.

Yes. Welcome to the realism of anarchy. It's a question of survival. A society that doesn't have the luxury of prisons and excess resources cannot afford to expend time on people who cannot contribute to the survival of the group. This is why banishment was tantamount to a death sentence. It was "nicer" for the society to banish people, but it was also crueler.

In the case of Lizzy, would it have been been better to just leave her to fend for herself? I think not. As the Talking Dead show mentioned, Sophia was on Carol's mind. Leaving someone to not only suffer being killed by zombies but become one is much worse than a bullet to the head.

Well put. I am going to watch it again tonight. And the Talking Dead follow on.

This is my number one favorite show, and "The Grove" just cemented that. Few shows these days are as intelligent and philosophical as The Walking Dead. The ones that are, I watch

Absolutely! It's very human, not Hollywood.

It is even creepier watching a second time- you get the clues about what is going to happen.
