If you wanted comedy instead, you could have watched the EP and me as we<\/em> watched the show. When I wasn\u2019t head-shooting zombies with my SIRT laser pistol, I\u2019d be yelling at the screen, \u201cStop with the full auto fire already! You need one shot at a time to hit the zombie brains, and live ammunition would have become irreplaceable precious metal in that situation! OMG, now they have a THIRD character who\u2019s lost his right eye but still shoots long guns from his right shoulder. And that one doesn\u2019t even have sights on his Marlin lever action, and that other one doesn\u2019t have sights on her M4! And those people aren\u2019t swinging those knives nearly <\/em>hard enough to punch through skulls and into zombie brains! And where the hell are they finding gasoline a decade after society collapsed?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n To which my lovely bride would reply with a sigh that could overload the Richter Scale of the sighs-mograph, \u201cYet you accept the animated corpses\u2026\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n We found ourselves bonding with the characters. Asked who she\u2019d hook up with, the EP said, \u201cMaybe Rick\u2026but no, he left. Maybe Daryl, I\u2019ve always gone for the bad boys. Or maybe Ezekiel, he had a freaking pet tiger…<\/em>eh, I guess Daryl.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n It was harder for me. Michonne captured my foolish heart with her katana-wielding, and I could have taught her how to hold her Beretta properly\u2026Maggie was hot, and I could have taught her not to take people at gunpoint with the hammer down on her single-action 1911\u2026but The show is closing the end of this month. Gail and I visited the set in Senoia, Georgia recently and took the tour with a cool dude who has been on the show and dressed like the Negan character. Over the years, I\u2019ve joked with people that I should have a one-question test for people who want to take my classes. The question would have been, \u201c\u2019The Walking Dead\u2019 is (A) a television fantasy, (B) a documentary, or (C) a training film.\u201d Anyone who answered anything but (A) wouldn\u2019t be allowed to take my class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But then I realized that anyone who answered (B) or (C) would need <\/em>my class more than anyone else\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Evil Princess and I owe you a confession.
