 the walking dead (AMC)
Trust me, you need to watch this when it starts in October.
http://uk.tv.ign.com/articles/110/1106418p1.html I've been reading the comic for a while now and it's absolutely amazing. It's not so much about the zombies and gore (well, obviously it is to some extent) but more about what happens to humanity when such a disaster strikes, the savages we could turn into, how hard it is to stay sane and to keep yourself together. |

zombies! atlanta!
The Walking Dead is an upcoming American television series created for television by Frank Darabont and based upon the comic book series of the same name created by Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore. It will premiere on the AMC network on October 31, 2010 with a 90-minute premiere episode, during the network's "Fearfest." The Walking Dead tells the story of the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse and follows a small group of survivors traveling across the country in search of a new home away from the hordes of zombies. The group is led by Rick Grimes, who was a police officer in the old world. As their situation grows more and more grim, the group's desperation to survive pushes them to do almost anything to stay alive. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wal...ead_(TV_series) |

 I really hope this show is going to be a huge succes. From what I can tell by watching the trailer, they've got the tone just right. Also, everybody should read the original graphic novels. They're simply brilliant. |

Oh. My. God. I am so stoked for this. This is the first time I've even heard of it, but that trailer is awesome. Halloween seems so far away.

When there's no more room in Hell, the Dead will walk... in NYC! I hope it stays slotted for Sunday nights because that's just about the only night I am guaranteed off from work! |

Me too!!!! The footage looks amazing so far.
I can't wait to see how they're going to do certain scenes from the comic. Stuff I'm looking forward to: (don't click if you don't know the comics!!!) - carl shooting the cop/ex-friend - lori's death (sob sob) - tyreese's beheading - the prison (my favorite story arc) - everything Michonne!!! |

Wasn't a big fan of the comic (writing) but I only got through the first trade paperback. The plot was good enough though and the concept is just freaking fantastic, so I'm still pretty excited to see what it's like on TV. Yay zombie TV!

There may or may not be a pre-air version on the internet.
Hint: there is and it's fantastic. |

Zombie Neurobiology The Amygdala and Anterior Cingulate Cortex Absent a properly functioning frontal lobe, a zombie is driven entirely by base emotions - such as rage - that are housed in the primitive parts of our brain, notably the amygdala. There's precedence for this in nature. A crocodile brain, for instance, is mostly driven by the amygdala. Researchers have confirmed this by introducing lesions into the amygdala of animal specimens: the result is a drop in the attack and retreat response that correlates significantly with the amount of damage that's done to that region of the brain. A crocodile without an amygdala isn't really a crocodile. As such, Schlozman argues, "you can't really be mad at zombies, because that's like being mad at a crocodile," adding that it's the delicate balance between frontal lobe and amygdala "that makes us human." |

Just watched it. Great premiere episode. I'm so glad they're using makeup zombies instead of CGI zombies. Much more zombier and scary.
It was really intense and suspenseful, like any good horror movie should be but isn't nowadays. I was on the edge of my seat the whole hour and half expecting zombies around every corner. Great directing. |
