True. And I guess in the modern conception of zombie the contagion element is equally important to the mindlessness and eating brains.

iZombie of course being *more or less* a vampire show, with the contagion element it keeps from zombie movies being the big outlier

disagree, I'm reiterating the Mirror Universe pod, but Trek has to find a way to a) be OUR future, which is very important for its utopianism, and b) be relatively coherent
My solution being of course, declaring that we're going to do the 1990s: 1992b here we come.

Ambiguity can be a wonderful tool to reflect the ultimate unknowability of anything. It can also be a lazy way out of committing to a decision

God I hate that company. Way to precious stuff; I dislike it for Parks & Rec a lot but maybe it makes more sense for small-town gov types
