Over at CatholicVote, I take a look at AMC’s hit zombie drama “The Walking Dead,” which airs its 90-minute season-five finale on Sunday, March 29, and why everybody — but me — seems to love a zombie.
As for me, I don’t care for zombie stories, because I just don’t find brain-chomping cretins to be that interesting (and they’re extremely gross). I’d rather have the elegant vampire, defying death in style; the werewolf, struggling with an animal nature that overwhelms the human one; or the Frankenstein monster, a meditation on the foolishness of man trying to play God.
Zombies are disgusting, filthy and stupid; all they do is eat your brains while shedding rotted parts along the way. I accept that the human stories in “The Walking Dead” are fascinating, but there are still zombies.
There are also links to stories telling you where to go to avoid the zombie apocalypse (Montana) and where you’re certain to be on the menu (sorry, Bakersfield), and an assortment of Catholic views of why the undead may have to work hard to get our brains but already own our imaginations.
