Made it all seem more lifelike.....I ised to watch Walking Dead but the series went on for too long and it lost it's way for me especially when one of the main characters Rick Grimes died....incidentally he was played by an actor called Andrew Lincoln....a chap from Hull.....reportedly because of falling viewing figures he is about to return from the dead A bit like Bobby Ewing in Dallas

I've never seen it, Summer. It looks okay and all my work colleagues (who do nothing but watch TV all afternoon) say it's good but I just never got around to it. I don't know the name Andrew Lincoln though, but then I don't buy the local paper anymore. I'll look him up.

I've got Game of Thrones to watch sometime but I don't think I can even be bothered with it all now!

Re: Why do we like to be frightened?

I hate scary films, they give me nightmares. Also hate anything too gory.
Things like that play on my mind for months afterwards.

I agree, I liked it first of all but it just went on and on and on and on with same story repeating every week.

I get the impression that there isn't a lot you can do with zombies. Eight series of blood-drenched, hillbilly-chequered shirt wearing dead folk with their skin hanging off dragging their left leg behind them is milking things a little too much in my opinion lol

It's a bit like Dr. Who when suddenly we see daleks flying through space! Stupid. It would never happen in real life!

Yes, I have seen all of them. I wonder how many people sat there shouting 'No! DON'T STICK YOUR HAND DOWN THE WASTE DISPOSAL'?

Re: Why do we like to be frightened?

I tend not to watch horrors, I never find them scary. Sometimes when something pops up on the screen suddenly or unexpectedly it can make me jump but I wouldn't say it was scary.

Things that scare me are the ones where you can see the disaster or whatever could actually happen in real life.

I do like a bit of blood and guts, watched No country for old men last night, that had plenty

He didn't die, he was kidnapped.

As much as I like Rick I thought the series improved after he left.
