If you watch the extra features for 28 Weeks later (Im in the UK so it may not have the same as US) they tell that they wanted to make it so the infected had two sides. One side that was infected that wanted to spread the infection and another that showed just a little bit of the person left inside them. Their example was the Dad in 28 Weeks later. He was always trying to re-unite with his kids, but he was still trying to kill him.
All in all, I dont really thing they class as Zombies. Maybe we should have two classes. Infected and Zombies. Zombies being actually dead flesh with a virus or such controlling them. And infected being a person who is infected with a virus but may still be alive. I think 28 Weeks later are Infected not zo0mbies.

nope. those things are called Infected, and you can think of them as highly aggressive and primal (and infectious) humans, rather than zombies. Do you find this valuable?

Well, my mindset is that they are, indeed, 'rage' zombies.

Put three people in a room and ask them what a zombie is and you will get three different answers.

So how many kinds are there?

Those that can run.
Those that can't.
Those that can talk.
Those that can't.
Those that eat you.
Those that only want to kill you.
Those that can smell you five miles away but can't breath.
Those that can see in the dark.
Those that don't see well at all.

Just assume that there are many kinds of zombies and you will sleep better at night. Do not attempt to apply too much logic to zombies, it will drive you crazy.

Yeah, also there are zombies that need food and still rely on their organs (Rage Zombies) and those that don't need anything to sustain them (Resident Evil Zombies). Do you find this valuable?

That doesn't change the fact that all zombie lore is based on zombies being dead. If something is not biologically dead, then we can't call it a zombie, or you may as well be a zombie by some definintion.

By the way, your mom was a zombie. Last Night. I could tell by the moaning.

the whole topic can't be classified as Zombies or Infected because Zombies ARE the infected and basically they arepeople who have a unstable hunger for flesh and have there intelligence lowered
When I heard that Solanum was also a plant, I thought that maybe Max talked about a new species of Solanum that is a carrier or producer of the Solanum Virus

Thank you for showing your true mental age. I'll be sure and ask my 82 year old mother if she had a good time last night.

If you are still capable of carrying on a real conversation then what I was saying is that I too have my own ideas, (like everyone else), as to what a zombie really is. My opinions clash often with others but I have learned to be more flexible since what we are talking about doesn't even exist. Refusing to be flexible only results in anger and frustration.

Asking the site owner to restrict what is and what is not a zombie will only result in many of the members leaving since many people's opinion would clash with yours. Be flexible or you won't enjoy the site much.

No offense to anyone who loved the film, but 28 Days later and 28 weeks alter were crap movies. Period. They could have done so much with them, but they cast horrible actors and a really good story turned into "fear the soldiers, not the zombies." Do you find this valuable?

I disagree. It's a good lesson that if you trust people with guns in a world with no law then you will die, or worse.
I didn't mind the acting. One could point out worse examples.

Edit: Oh yeah, in answer to the question - probably not, but I like to look at them as the 'rage zombie'. They are more like a supercharged rabid human than a zombie.

I Agree. My version of a zombie is basically a rager that does'nt require much food, so dies in 1 year, not 28 days.

lots of people make the jokes deadman, don't feel sorry.

zombie free world says what a zombie is. that's why they are dead now

My attention span isn't all that great on big words...but I understand what we are all talking about. My kind of zombie would be somewhere between Dawn of the Dead and Resident evil type- can still function like humans(opens doors, work as a team, problem solving, etc.) like in Dawn of the Dead, but still slow moving and not much intelligence like in Resident Evil Do you find this valuable?

I feel like it would be more likely to have a problem with "rage" type zombies than the living dead. With medical advances and all that, it just seems like a more realistic way for zombies to become a serious issue. Do you find this valuable?

They were good movies, maybe not perfect but no zombie movies are (wiht very few exceptions). The later part of both movies was a little strange, first the weird soldiers (which makes sense is you think about it), and the dad stalking the kids was corny and hard to believe. The rest of it was actually very realistic I thought.

Not worried about medical advances I wonder about weapons advances. Some sort of mind-altering chemical sprayed by a predator drone over a battlefield. Let the enemy kill each other-add a potent aerosolized opiate that can be time released, such as Fentanyl like the Russians did when they “rescued” all those hostages from the theater (more than half died and all the terrorist were killed while passed out-and they considered it a success-half the hostages dead ha). Once the opiate kicks in go in and mop up.

That's a handy bargaining tool.

"Give us what we want or we'll kill a hostage!"

"Too late, we already gassed them."

The Russians are like the last group you want coming to your rescue. They are OK with it if 75% of the hostages die. The best was that they pumped so much Fentanyl into the room that 100s of people OD'd-so that means everyone passed out first ,yet the Russians still felt the need to shoot the passed out terrorists. We worry about Gitmo in Russia they shoot bad guys in drug stupors. At least they died happy, very happy. Fentanyl is like God's gift to the world of drugs. Do you find this valuable?
