She's the FBI agent from the final season of The Shield.

I hate that i have to wait till next october

Honestly, the whole LOST type of show viewing is horrible. 3 episode in a row, then wait 6 months for another 4.

My hope is that they didn't know if this was gonna work or not, so they just gave them 6 episodes. But since it made them mad money, they are gonna do another season. What i like though is the limited comercial breaks. I mean you watch a hour drama on the national networks, and it's literally 4 minutes of show, 4 minutes of comercials. It's horrible.

I didnt even realize that. I recognzied her from The Mist.

She was also in The Majestic. Shes a Darabont "regular"

Oh yea, another interesting thing they brought up was how the scientist said that some people zombify after 2 minutes...some take up to 9 hours.....hopefully they expand on the science part as it goes along....

Here's another thing my son and I were discussing: Why call them "walkers" and not zombies?

Why make up a name for something everyone already knows about? I mean, I assume this doesn't take place in an alternate reality where the concept of zombies has never arisen ... there's never been any zombie movies or whatnot.

If this shit went down today, we'd all be running around screaming "ZOMBIES! ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE!!!!!!", no? Maybe we'd shorten it to Z's or Zeds or something. But why invent a descriptor?

I'd be willing to bet a testicle (yours not mine) that "walkers" has something to do with one of the directors or financial backers trying to distance themselves a little bit from the classic George Romero "zombie" genre for reason of artistic singularity.

Interesting. Thanks.

Although the above information is good for the show, that's not the reason really.

In the graphic novel, they are all zombies. But there are some that are walking / roaming around, and some that just lay there until you get close to them. The ones that are walking around are called "Walkers" or "Roamers".

Aaahh, that at least makes sense.

Are there any "humpers"? Because that would be terrifying.

I just thought of a Sam Kinison routine about necrophilia.
