Okay, that's just downright embarrassing. It IS a Python. I don't know how I missed that ventilated rib.

So the wife and I watched it last night.

1) Anything with a firearm in it was wrong. Watching the deputy thumb the slide release to take off the safety on a Glock had me yelling at the TV.  The hero telling a gent that the scope was accurate on a rifle was amusing. The complete lack of using cover in a gunfight was silly.

2) Lot's of zombies: fast and slow.

3) Lot's of carnage and chaos. Lots of dead, dead folks and dead undead folks.

4) The most flies in the history of TV!  See above.

5) Plot twists are too predictable.

6) Atlanta as I always dreamed it should be.

7) Very good special effects.

Solid B If they had hired Bane,Janich or the Pincus as technical advisor it would have gotten a A-

An American version of 28 Days Later?? The way that movie should have been if the English weren't such nannies! lol I'll give it a look this fall. ::)

That's exactly the thought I had when the guy woke up in the hospital and wandered outside. I haven't seen the whole first episode yet - way past my bedtime (some of us have to get up early and go to work, don't you know?). But it's on the DVR.

Watched this afternoon on DVR after getting back from a dr's appointment... seemed OK....probably watch a few more episodes to see what pans out.

I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

I forgot all about it until a couple hours after it ended. Oops.

Don't know about anyone else, but I can't believe I'd be so dazed and b ewildered that I'd leave that  hospital without going back to my room to get shoes, at least, and clothes...
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
—Patrick Henry

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster

I saw this t-shirt online today.

That was probably the most realistic part.  That and the flies.
