AMC's The Walking Dead

We're going to need a bigger rat guard.

 

I re-watched the last two episodes before clearing them off the DVR.

It's a throwaway line, but I think Carl has touched on a theme for the show in general:

"Everything is food for something else."

 

Kids of yesteryear didn't need zombie-fication of the countryside to learn that.

They learned it from Marlin Perkins and "Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom."

I loved that show...makes me think about curling up on my father\'s lap, eating popcorn and him sneaking me a swig of his Pepsi occasionally. I hate getting old, but do think it is really cool to be the one with the son on his lap, sneaking him a drink of soda or Powerade every few minutes.

 

Hell, I used to do that with my dad too. Except Dad was known to mix Jack Daniels in with the Pepsi and then laugh at the look on my face.

 

Something that's been nagging at me is that the scrawled printing on the show -- the "Don't Open / Dead Inside" in the hospital and the "Please Forgive Us!" suicides at the one (farm?) house -- seems to have been hand-lettered by the same people. Or am I remembering it wrong?

I know they want to make it ultra-readable for a TV audience, but you'd think that different people at different moments of stress would have different writing/printing.

That was Grandpa...and it was Canadian Club and 7-up. Gramps was awesome.

 

I never noticed that. *searches Google*

OK. "God Forgive Us" - http://mimg.ugo.com/201010/63076/cuts/101-rt-photospread-godforgi_480x360.jpg

"DON'T OPEN DEAD INSIDE" - http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thing?.out=jpg&size=l&tid=26031222

Thoughts?

 

I would think that if you are writing a warning message on a wall, for the most part you will write large block letters. (unless of course you are both trying to be funny)

 

I'm thinking there was a set designer whose job it was to write that stuff and they really didn't think most folks would be breaking down the hand writing.

 

This.

 

They should know better. This is a show based on a comic book. Comic book fans are crazy for that kind of stuff.
