    itchy, tasty Prestigious

    I'm not loving it
     
  2. I just can't stand the stuff with Robert Knepper.
     
  3. Damn, that ending last night was heavy. Although, the idea of a public execution via guillotine reinforces the fact that the premise this season doesn't make a ton of sense in the real world.

  5. Zombie as other isn't exactly a new thing. Same with orcs, extraterrestrials, basically any other mob that can be equated to yellow peril or whatever. The difference here is that these zombies are sentient and so. similar. to us. In Supergirl, it's almost "should we deport all the extraterrestrials?" Here, it's "should we contain all the zombies?" I mean, yeah, it's pretty superficial, that's about as far as the real life correlations get, but it's definitely there.

    Last night's episode will definitely propel the rest of the season as far as giving Liv a meaningful goal.

    Zombie as other is literally why zombies exist in film. Their introduction into film in the 10's-20's was a portrayal of tribal 'savages'. They've always been used as a stand-in for global crisis or mass hysteria. This felt 'okay' because they were basically just hollow shells of people.

    Its just gotten strange because at this point, they are just people. All of these films and shows with zombies now (San Clarita, Warm Bodies, iZombie) have emotional beings that just happen to be undead. Before, it was felt a bit more subtle. Nowadays every allegory is pretty cut and dry.

    I'm not really sure what the point I'm making is. Maybe that it just isn't very thought provoking?

    Just a friendly reminder

    Kinda floored by the North Battleford, Saskatchewan reference. That's some inside-baseball, obscure Canadian small-town shit.
