Thought it's true of most shows on TV, I've watched this since episode one, and I was just thinking to myself today that it's kind of funny that every character has their own unique name. Never in the chance of ever will they run into another person named Rick or Glenn, or even a dead character like Lori or Shane. There will never be a White Bob. Never will happen. Every single person on the planet has their own unique name. Whenever somebody new meets Rick, they never ask what his last name is. It's just like "Okay, you're the only Rick in the world, good to meet ya! I won't ask for your last name, because never will that be important!" In the final episode, it will be revealed that humans are actually snowflakes. I've solved the series!
Another thing that always kind of bugs me in a mostly joking way, is that The Walking Dead seems to take place in a universe where no celebrities or pop culture ever existed. Not once has someone walked down the road humming "Kokomo". Not once has someone stumbled on a stack of Seth Rogen DVDs or thrown in some inappropriate movie quote in somewhere ("
the snozzberries taste like snozzberries!") Not once has someone leafed through an old People Magazine in their boredom. Noah's bedroom did not have a singular LeBron James poster. What up with that. It's like the show takes place in the 1700's with cars and military jets. Nobody is wearing any type of printed clothing of any kind. Nobody is wearing a pair of Nikes or Adidas. Once Eugene mentions videogames, but he just runs though specific genres like RPG's and SHMUPs instead of listing actual titles. It stuck me as a weird thing to say, usually the first question that comes up is "Xbox or Playstation?!?"
The episode where Michonne shares her candy bars with Carl totally reminded me of the Halloween episode of Family Guy where Stewie and Brian are going through their candy reading what they got, and it's just a bunch of phony brands that kind of sound like real brands like Not-A-Finger and Dawkin's Peanut Butter Discs, and Stewie is just like "God I hate television"
