Discovery seems to be getting a little creepy.

Oh, it's a reality show. I was going to say that History already had 'Life After People' running. People won't be everywhere after all.

Not as creepy as TLC, which is now the midgets and freaks channel. Oh wait, they are owned by Discovery. So yes, Discovery is getting creepy.

They really need a big guy outside the compound saying "Just walk away." at odd hours.

I'm completely addicted to that show and I'm not exactly sure why. Maybe it helps me cope with my own inevitable structural failure.

If there are no zombies, it's not "reality."

No. I hope to, but right now my reading list/dance card is full.

This *might* actually be worth watching. I *am* distressed by the lack of zombies. I was hoping to learn some techniques when the zombie uprising DOES happen.

Dance moves just aren't gonna cut it.

I may actually watch this reality show

 
DeadZone 2009-07-15 02:03:08 PM  
There will be a zombie uprising.

/well, there will be raiders, anyway.

 
TheOblivionTheory 2009-07-15 02:04:02 PM  
But, but, but
What if people are transformed into maggots during the apocalypse. Then The Colony television show cannot teach us how to survive! :( Nothing has ever taught us how to survive if we become insects. Well, almost nothing, Kafka did fancy that idea. But stillll, what if we become insects!!! :( *shudder*

World War Z is good literature for learning how to handle the zombie issue.

There is a joke about this at the end of Feast 3. Do yourself a favor and watch Feast and Feast 2 first. It'll pay off, you have fireclowns word.

The greatest farce in human history, you mean? Lol.
Let's take, for example, the fact that on Dec 21, 2012, the sun, Earth, and center of the Milky Way will be perfectly aligned. This is true. People argue that the gravitational force will disrupt Earth's rotation. This is not true. What's my evidence? The fact that these three bodies align every year on the winter solstice! XD
2012, t3h fail. :D (fark it)

 
fuzzycuffs 2009-07-15 02:08:32 PM  
I'd watch a post apocalyptic serial drama with zombies in a heartbeat.

Get JJ Abrams to direct it.

I saw a few commercials for this show and as intrigued. Probably going to be disappointed when I get around to watching it when I find that most of the cool stuff they are doing is preplanted by the production crew like in Junkyard Wars

My bet is that Bettes will be eaten by a zombie shiatsu or hamster.

 
paygun 2009-07-15 02:10:11 PM  
It sounds really dumb, sorry. I'm usually up for anything post-apocalyptic, but if it's a reality show then it's just another soap opera in a different setting.

 
trappedspirit 2009-07-15 02:10:11 PM  
"...let's do it like they do on the discovery channel"?

 
Viss 2009-07-15 02:11:03 PM  
Big deal. Come see a REAL Post Apoc site & live in it yourself.

In Second Life

Zombies?

Cool. Let me get my 10/22 with a dozen 50-round magazines ready.


Head shots, I got them. PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW.

 
rastjr [TotalFark] 2009-07-15 02:11:54 PM  
I read this because I thought it was something like life after people.

It sounds pretty cool.

Mad Max plus Discovery Channel may equal entertaining and educational.

 
GoteamVenture 2009-07-15 02:12:40 PM  
is this a subtle training show for the zombie/nuclear apocolypse soon to pass?

if so i need to play more fallout and left4dead to prepare

History channel already covered this:

Life after people (new window)

I wonder if people who believe in the Mayan date of December 21st, 2012 have taken into account the 11 days that Pope Gregory XIII removed from his calendar in 1582 (later accepted by most other countries in 1752.) If not, then their "end of the world" will actual occur on January 1st, 2013.

Might want to RTFA. It's only a sentence long, not that tough.

I just hope there's no voting. Then all the skilled and talented people get voted off first because they're the biggest threat.

No, the smartest people will rule under a tyrannical rule, but they'll power up Las Vegas again.

Proactive is good. Proactive is risk control.

/Be proactive.
