I'll take the The Walking Dead, if there's anybody left for another season.

I dunno, ExPat. "Young pawns thrust into pulsating cages of horror in a sadistic experiment" sounds pretty tempting. Do we get to choose which young pawns? Can the pulsating cages of horror survive Jersey Shore?

I've never seen Jersey Shore and after all the Snookie Stories I'm not sure I've missed much. Now, you take pulsating cages of horor and turn that euphemism into video and we're talking!

Those old horror flicks are the best!

See now, those would be real zombies - people rendered in a state of trancelike submission to the will of another (well, I assume that's the point of the pulsating cage of horror, assuming a point is needed). Not Walking Dead, which are Mathesonian vampires restyled by Mr Romero. If you're wondering why we call the latter "zombies", I suspect it's the fault of the Italian film industry, and will blame them until a cineaste informs me otherwise.

I'll keep making this point until the internet acknowledges it WITH ONE VOICE, or until this particular mavenistic impulse stops gnawing on my brain, which ever comes first.

Course, if we stop saying "zombies" we'll have to stop saying "turbozombies", which would be a shame.
