For anyone who has seen the promo for the week after next week, you probably saw one thing: zombies.
How does everyone feel about this? I’m not sure, personally. It seems to stray a bit away from where I thought they were going. I haven’t been let down yet by the writers, though.
What do you guys think?
[adrotate group="5"]As much as I love this show, I really hate the zombies. What the heck are they thinking? Dr. Frankenstein was kinda pushing it with me, but I figured since he technically was a storybook character I’d let it slide. But zombies? That’s going waaaaay too far.

I’m reserving judgment till I see how it plays out depending on how they do it could be really fun

Yeah….. I guess if it was just me watching it, I MIGHT be willing to wait and see. Maybe. But I’ve been watching this with my little brother who’s nine, so he won’t be allowed to watch next time. Plus my mom’s not going to want to watch either, so I’m going to be pretty much alone in this, and I might still hate it. Basically, adding zombies to the show has really lowered it in my family’s opinion.

Lol I used to show my niece and nephew the show too but my sister-in-law banned me from doing that after “True North” gravy or butter? 😯
I hate zombies. I hate Resident Evil, Walking Dead and all that sort of stuff since I was a child and watched to much bad films from the 80’s with my elder brother, but I’m really looking forward see them! really! They do not seem like Resident Evil zombies, who go around eating brains. They are more a “sending type” of undeads. Cora’s mindless warriors, she is a villain, she needs an army and I’m pretty sure no living being would like to join her cause.
So I really want to see how Emma &cÃa. face them and see what happens. 😛
Well, in a sense, we had a zombie in season 1 too, it’s just that Graham was an attractive one, as opposed to your stereotypical zombie. 😉
Cora’s army won’t seem like stereotypical zombies either, I don’t think, (though that shot in the promo where you see one’s hand reach up in the air from the bottom of the screen is an homage to the stereotypical zombie rising from the grave scene). I doubt they’ll be stumbling around, half decayed, mumbling about wanting to eat brains. They’ll just be regular people who are being controlled by the person who has their hearts, which isn’t really different to anything we’ve seen previously, it’s just that this time it’s a large group of people being ordered to kill, as opposed to an individual being ordered to Regina’s bed.

😆 I never thought of Graham like that before, but if Stephanie Myers could make vampires sexy, then surely Adam and Eddy could do the same for zombies!

Regarding the zombies, I can’t say I’m very surprised by this reveal, since I heard a spoiler way back that we’d be meeting heartless zombies. I think Eddy and Adam are huge fans of old-fashioned monster movies, as evidenced by the introduction of Dr. Frankenstein in The Doctor. Though zombies aren’t anywhere close to being part of fairy-tales, they are part of traditional Vodou folklore from Africa, in a similar way that vampires and werewolves are part of European legends. While these heartless zombies aren’t the same as the horror-film kind, they did seem to have some similarities like the controllability factor. I’m not too concerned by the introduction of mythical creatures as being too scary since Disney sugar-coated these fairy-tales for the modern age, but read in their true, original form, Grimms fairy-tales are truly creepy! As long as the zombies all look like Graham though, I have no major complaints. 😉

I am waiting to see the actual episode before I pass judgment. I don’t like Zombies but it’s about serving the story. I think an army of the undead in Cora’s hands could really work because I can see her doing it. So as long as it serves the story and isn’t an obvious jumping of the shark, then it will be great.
