Crickey. That’s a pretty dark “in case” :)

I mean, in the world we’re in now… alien attack, meteor strike, I’m not ruling anything out.

Is an alien strike also a possibility? Maybe they all jump out of their UFOs, refuse to be unidentified until they get a pay rise ?

If it's not zombies I will be furious. But maybe aliens or meteors could unleash zombies?

New zombie virus? Or is that actually already out and about and living amongst us?

Fair point, it might be hard to tell.

Not a Walking Dead fan? That's understandable tbh.

Ok, I watched the season 6 finale and the first 10 minutes of season 7 ep 1 last night and am completely traumatized. That might be it for me.

I've only watched the later seasons half-heartedly. My partner loves them, and all the spin-offs too, so I'm watching by default!

Oh...I did think I recognised the bloke but only watched a few episodes of series 1...it kind of got a bit repetitive I found after that.

Unless you really love the genre, quiting while you're ahead was a wise move!

I'd definitely want to know more about the alien plans for us before I committed to a side. "Oh, no, the Martians are going to impose a terrible regime of equitable taxation and access to justice!" Don't invade me with a good time, you alien bastards...

Frankly I'd be sympathetic. Which also suggests to me that it wouldn't run.
