Evolution in Television

It’s not just how we get our television that’s changing, it’s how we view what television is as a storytelling medium. There’s at least one aspect of this evolution that I’m very happy about, and I explained what it is in my latest over at Needles Things.

Material Objects Are Not Sacred. The Ideas They Represent Are.

Earlier in the week there was a flap in the news media over a protest at Valdosta State where several unidentified individuals had placed a flag on the ground and were walking on it. Michelle Manhart, an Air Force vet who witnessed the protest, went up to the protestors and took their flag from them. This resulted in her detainment by VSU police and her resisting arrest.

After VSU police returned the property to them that Manhunt had taken, the protestors declined to press charges. After releasing Manhart without charges but with a criminal trespass warning the officers requested student identifications from the protestors. After refusing to show them any school IDs, the VSU police broke up the protest and sent them on their way.

The Evolution of the Zombie (And Why That’s a Good Thing)

“The modern zombie, even the modern Romero Zombie for that matter, wasn’t created with Night of the Living Dead. What was created was the template for the modern zombie. That template said that the dead will rise for some known or unknown reason, the dead, in the grand tradition of the ravenous dead of myth and legend, will seek to feed on the flesh of the living, and that head shots are your golden ticket to zombie slaying. However, even the head-shot rule wasn’t followed 100% by every film in the 1970s and 1980s. But the basic template for what we consider the modern zombie was absolutely laid down with NotLD.”
