It’s distressing to hear news like this:

Two networks are following in The Walking Dead’s footsteps. The CW is developing The Awakening, a show about two sisters dealing with their relationship and a zombie apocalypse. And NBC’s developing a show from McG’s production company, Zombies vs. Vampires.

Really? It’s not bad enough that Zombies take it on the chin to improve basic cable ratings but now we have to see the ‘zombie apocalypse’ on the CW? NBC meanwhile wants to drive a wedge in Pan-Undead Solidarity by pitting Zombies against their more widely accepted Vampire comrades. Typical divide and conquer strategy from The Man.

We here at the ZRC once again call upon all the Undead and the Differently Animated, whether they be Vampires, Zombies, Banshees, Liches or even Dancing Skeletons, to stand together in the spirit of Brotherhood.

Except for Sparkly Vampires, they, as always, can get bent.
