I think its about time the FDO...
Did a full on Zombie novel! A Siglerstyle (i may trademark that one, lol) zombie work could be absolutely amazing. Even King did one. (It kind of sucked but whatever) Any thoughts?

Re: I think its about time the FDO...

 Sorry if I'm speaking out of line for you FDO. FDO has said before that he doesnt do supernatural type stories. He likes to keep them grounded in science. But then again I'm just spouting off. The FDO may have something in mind....when In doubt just look at my tagline! :)

Re: I think its about time the FDO...

I'm torn between wanting to read a Scott Sigler zombie tale, and not wanting to see yet another zombie story on the shelves. I'd like to add that I enjoyed World War Z.

There could be a person out there trying to bring back the dead, however when he cracks it the shit hits the fan as they come back as flesh eating super humans!

 I stand corrected! I had been thinking more along the lines of voodoo zombies.

Re: I think its about time the FDO...

Couldn't we argue that those weren't zombies? Then again we could just say that it's just a movie and any discussion is ultimately pointless.

Science has been done to death, but hang on, Are there any movies that have science being the reason for Vampires!  I could have found a hole in the Movie Market?

Re: I think its about time the FDO...

In the book, I Am Legend, the one that inspired the movie.  They ARE vampires, not zombies...

Re: I think its about time the FDO...

 Nocturnal definitely struck me as a supernatural concept justified with science, not a scientific concept gone awry as most of the others have been. I think that may be why Ancestor remains my favorite thus far. I still see stories about chimeras in the news.

...if they really want to. That's what being a creative mastermind lets you do. Look at 28 days/weeks later.

I just don't think Scott's interests lie along these lines. So far I've enjoyed his originality, so I'd find it pretty disappointing if he started falling back onto the 'staples' of the genre.

Re: I think its about time the FDO...

The Sci-Fi Channel was running a new series this year entitled "Sanctuary" and they had a storyline in one of the episodes revealing that Nicola Tesla was a vampire as a result of science.  Here's the link to the show on Sci-Fi's website: Sanctuary

Re: I think its about time the FDO...

amanda tapping with an accent was interesting.

i like the premise but didn't really keep up with it. Is the show still running?

...seasons over and with an exellent cliffhanger to.  But the Sci-Fi website let's you watch full episodes.  I wasn't familiar with Amanda Tapping prior to the show so I didn't realize she was affecting the British accent.  It was quite believable.

Re: I think its about time the FDO...

Is a good example of "Science Zombies" They werent even zombies so much as just "Infected" (hehe) They could die like normal humans, I.E. be killed in ways other than a shot to the head, they could run, do to not having suffered the effects of riggormortice (probably spelled incorrectly), and the infection itself started as a transgenic virus, which Sigler has covered before. So i think it could work if he really wanted it to. Again just an idea though.

Re: I think its about time the FDO...

I believe people have forgotten about Marie Latrielle and who she is and where she came from.  Since I looked her up on google, and knowing what I know about who she was married to, I am convinced that the nocturnals are a scientific concept gone awry!  Indeed, it may be very similar to what happened in Ancestor!

Re: I think its about time the FDO...

 Yeah, the '28' movies are probably my favorite Zombie flicks. They were also a rare case where the sequel may have superceded the original in quality. That almost never happens.

Please help to ensure that Dollhouse gets a full first season!! You can buy it on iTunes, watch it on Hulu, or watch it Friday nights 9/8C on Fox. Let's make sure Joss doesn't get fucked by Fox *again*
