    I thought the fifth stage of grief was not watching the show any more. If that's the case, then I'm very happy with my progress.

    I think my wife has that Geonosian zombie infection. She hates the cold, nobody has any clue what she is saying most of the time and she frequently acts erratic or aggressively. At least towards me. And no, I'm sure that has nothing to do with posts like these.

    @evildead1971: @Lassus: It's been awhile since I saw these episodes so bear with me.She was in Ep: Our Mrs Reynolds & Trash. She was a con-artist but doesn't she also seduce members of the crew to get what she wants? I couldn't find the script casting online, but I found this on Wiki: According to Serenity crew member and Companion Inara Serra, Saffron has had some Companion training. This organization of legal, high-society courtesans appears to provide its members with psychological education to enable them to establish more than a merely sexual relationship with their clients. Saffron uses these skills to help her seduce her marks, even attempting to seduce Inara herself....Sounds like a hooker to me? imho.

    P.S. I just really wanted to get that picture on io9 you know...yeah, you know :)

    Zombieland was definitively one of the best Zombie movies ever, hopefully they can make the hypothetical sequel just as good.

    I would definitely watch a sequel, and would really like to see what happens when they go to Columbus or Talahassee, or even where the girls are from.

    I'm planning on seeing Zombieland this weekend, and I've got to say, if it plays out on the screen like I've got it built up in my head, I'd stick around for a franchise.

    It's ok. CBS would have canceled it like the late great Jericho. Better it have a chance in film form where they will at least handle one story at a time and if a sequel isn't made it won't be disappointing.

    @Zyg: At least CBS was good enough to cancel Jericho and give it a second chance later on. Fox wouldn't even do that for TSCC, so CBS is better than Fox IMO. At least Zombieland got made into something vs. nothing at all.

    In reply to McConnaughy To Bacon: All The Deleted Zombieland Cameos
    I just saw Zombieland today, and it didnt just exceed my expectations, it bludgeoned them with an inexplicably placed banjo.

    I need to ask though, was I the only one asking Eisenberg's character why he kept using that double barrel?

    I also have to say, I found it was more than just the sort of cheap undead fun the title would suggest. There is a scene (BIG spoilers here) where Harrelson's character talks about his puppy and how that was home for him, and how thanks to the zombies he'd lost him, in keeping with the kind of goofy feel I expected the dog to show up at the end somehow, I'm usually pretty good at calling plot points, and something about the slight inconsistency of the puppy story screamed "REUNION AHEAD" to me.

    Of course that's not what happens, down the road you find out that the puppy wasn't a puppy at all, it was his son, and I don't want to sound sappy here but it is rather poignant. (or at least it was to me)

    My long winded point is that it takes skill to deliver an emotional gut punch like that in the midst of clubbing redneck zombies with a banjo and (literally) dropping a piano onto a zombie's head, Wylie Coyote style.
