IN YOUR HEAD

I have not read The Walking Dead graphic novels, but I'm enjoying the series on AMC well enough.

This year's season premiere had one quick scene that hinted at the subversive potential of the show.

The protagonists were searching for a missing member of their party, and they came across a church. When the group entered the church, they found three or four zombies sitting in pews staring up at a crucifix.

The zombies were dispatched quickly, and the church setting then became a tableau for the various crises of faith among the living.

But I really hope the show gets back to exploring that whole resurrection/zombie angle at some point...
