Think 'Jericho' but with zombies. Curious to see what happens with this, especially since CBS has readied ‘Babylon Fields’ a zombie-centric drama as a mid-season replacement.

Star Trek Next Generation was the best with a close second to the original series in my opinion. Voyager was pretty good. Deep Space was ok. Don't slam his site. his site rocks! I'm interested in this zombie series though. Might have potential...but yeah zombies shouldn't run. That's a 28 Days later infection thing not a dead guy walking thing.

A little twisted, even. Yes, Garfield Reeves-Stevens has some real cred as a horror writer. A little twisted, even.

I thought Classic Trek and TNG were high points for television sci-fi. Total trend setters with outstanding writing. I saw a couple Deep Space 9 and Voyager episodes and they didn't really tickle my fancy, despite the occasional guest spot from one of my favorite actors, Jeffrey Combs. Enterprise, as much I liked the idea just doesn't do anything for me. Maybe it's Scott Bakula. I don't know. But thanks for coming by, regardless. Josh: I had some big ideas, too. I think every fan of zombies gives a lot of careful consideration to how they would go about it. I remember back around 1998 when George Romero announced that he had a script for what would ultimately be Land of the Dead, there was also talk of a Night of the Living Dead series for Showtime. I don't think any details ever surfaced and obviously the project never came to be but that had my mental wheels turning. I was a big fan of the Grendel Tales comics and the format was always a series of three to six issues dealing with one story and characters before switching to a new story and characters. Sometimes they would revisit popular characters with new stories. I always saw the NotLD series like that. A series of episodic movies, occasionally going back to popular casts for new stories happening in the same continuity. I thought that would have been great. I'm also not ready to outright discount the possibility that this show could be cool. One of the writers is an experienced horror novelist. So you never know. Zombies are a tight rope, though. When done right, it's thrilling, when done wrong, it's a disaster. Who’s bashing Star Trek? I thought Classic Trek and TNG were high points for television sci-fi.

Cool preview. You seem to be a person of intellect and words. Although this came on to trekmovie.com with your link so I thought I just might let you know that the Trek bashing might not have been a good idea. But from the looks of your site, popularity does not seem to be your biggest concern. Hi Bryan!
