I don’t even wanna think about what it’d be like without cops and with zombies… Alligators can hold their own against zombies, and prefer their meat a little on the ripe side. 😉 I wonder if we’re going to get a **Fear the Talking Dead** too. ---

Actually, Florida has lots of islands and peninsulas (along the coastline) so I think we’d be better able to block off large zombie hordes than interior states. The main problem we’d have would be no more early warning systems for hurricanes. The gulf coast would still be safer because we rarely get direct hurricane hits because hurricanes can’t usually make that turn and they head toward other gulf coast states. But I’d think that the hurricanes would help get rid of some zombies, much like that tornado in The Walking Dead cut a swath between a horde or walkers. ---

Which kind of begs the question as to what simply keeps the zombies from walking into the surf and wandering up on your island’s beach and surprising the hell out of Gilligan and the Skipper… ---

> [@Master\_Wang-Ka](#): > > Which kind of begs the question as to what simply keeps the zombies from walking into the surf and wandering up on your island’s beach and surprising the hell out of Gilligan and the Skipper… Sharks, water currents, crabs … wait, why would they walk into the surf? They wouldn’t be able to smell living flesh underwater, even if they did walk into the water they’d likely get lost once they are underwater and start following some marine animals possibly out into deeper water. ---

> [@Quimby](#): > > The ten second ad they showed last night confirms the rumors: it is set very early in the Apocalypse. Strange news stories of a “flu” on the radio etc. I like it! Not even the comics touched this territory. It could make for a good show. Well, yes, for about two weeks or so of “show” time. Then you’re back in Walking Dead territory, aren’t you?

Yeah, and the feel is “awesome”. Good to see they made it modern age, with Youtube videos and the social media documenting the collapse of civilization. ---

It has the ugly realism of a bird flu pandemic happening in modern times. I love the tagline. “When civilization ends, it ends fast” ---
