I don't know why everyone has a problem........

Welcome! A lot of us are long term, hard core fans of the genre, so like any fan base who are passionate, we're very analytical & have devoted a lot (too much) thought to the subject. Thanks. I'm a long time fan of the genre myself. Goes back to "Return of the Living Dead" when I was a little kid. Only part 1, although I do like pt-2 but only for the sake of nostalgia. After that they suck. Long time fan of Romero's films(Dawn Day and Diary anyway), Land was OK, but Survival of the Dead was crap I thought. Like a zombie western(I hate westerns), I watched it but was just not into it so I don't even remember the horse part. My favorite aspect of the zombie genre is the apocalyptic component. I'm not a GAR purist though. I first came to this board back in like 2003-2004 right before the Dawn remake came out and it was a bunch of people bitchin about "how dare they do a remake" and fighting about the "slow vs fast" zombies. So I didn't even bother to register, just checked out the fiction section. But I knew there would be some activity regarding TWD here, and some involved discussion. I just think it's great to have an actual series about the undead! And equally great that the original material isn't being totally butchered by the networks.
