I like “The Walking Dead” for the same reason I like any post-apocalyptic fiction. It’s a chance to play ‘what if’ and to perhaps think a little ‘outside the box’. Sometimes it makes one think about things that might not otherwise have been considered. Think of it as preparedness war gaming.

Season three, it seems, appears to address recurring issues people just would not get over – specifically firepower. After two seasons of nothing more aggressive than pump shotguns we see an underfolder AK and an M4 in the hands of our heroes, as well as some homemade suppressors for the pistols. Also, small-unit tactics have greatly improved with everyone knowing their job, doing it quickly, and keeping their head together when its time to go to Plan B.

While I appreciate that any zombie-themed show is going to have some gore, I really hate gore for it’s own sake. This show seems to do that once in a while but the story is usually tight enough I can forgive it.

All in all, it’s shaping up to be an interesting season if this first episode is anything to go by.

Trivia: Daryl’s bad-ass knife is a Busse Team Gemini. Spendy knife for a trailer-park redneck….$375.

It’s that time again. These kinds of emails were quite prevalent a couple years ago. Looks like theyre making the rounds again:

Dear Sir,

My name is Richard Drew and I’m a TV producer based in the Tri State area.

I consult for a company called Peacock Productions (part of NBC) who are currently working on a new show for a major cable network (NOT National Geographic) that looks at the US ‘Preppers’ community.

The show will be hosted by a major name from the network news world. He’d like to talk with some of the leading figures and characters within the Preppers world for their unique take and stories.

We’re at a very early research stage on the show and I wondered if you’d be interested in sharing your own Preppers stories and background?

Please let me know if this idea may be of interest and hopefully we can set a time to talk shortly.

Many thanks,

Richard

Thanks, but no thanks, “Dick”.

This sort of thing has not really worked out well for anyone. However, if youre interested, cut/paste the above quoted texted into an email to this guy so it looks like youre replying to his email and nominate yourself. Lemme know how it works out.

This was pretty entertaining..a cross between documentary and mediocre independent filmmaking. Not necessarily the way I see things going, but very interesting nonetheless.

I should probably turn this into a banner for the page header……….
