And in many senses people do this without thinking about it but simply go along with the rest of the group (e.g.their fellow employees, their own family and ill ideas they were brought up on.) So in a metaphorical sense, I think the show is trying to show that comparison. But there's also the more literal sense such as with serial killers. Than on the level of the story itself, I think what the show is trying to say is that when there's a crisis such as a zombie apocalypse (or in real life such as if there were to be a nuclear holocaust) some people may go to extremes to survive even if it means bumping off somebody else to do it such as killing the other person for food (whether to steal their food or even to eat the other person literally, which would be damn scary!). So that's what the show appears to be trying to do with that comparison, but I just didn't see it played out that much in the episode discussed above.Steven Arellano Rose Jr.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03874980314982333471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2246316100259978987.post-84350635411524437942012-10-21T10:14:49.566-07:002012-10-21T10:14:49.566-07:00your site reads great on mobile!!!your site reads great on mobile!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2246316100259978987.post-53681994749379020252012-10-21T10:13:47.122-07:002012-10-21T10:13:47.122-07:00i saw a few minutes. i also didnt see a difference...i saw a few minutes. i also didnt see a difference between it and night of the living dead. what a premise.... the living and dead are equal?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
