I'm really starting to think that the "Walking Dead" title isn't really about the undead, but more applicable to the survivors...

  • I think the title has both a literal and figurative meaning. There are [i]literally[/i] undead roaming around. Figuratively, the walking dead could mean the characters. Although they are considered alive, they too roam around in hopes of finding something substantial, a safe place, or whatever. They are in constant fear and danger, and they know they will die sooner or later at the hands of the zombies or themselves. They are so close to death, they may as we'll be dead.

  • None of the series is about the zombies. They aren't even the real main protagonist. The whole Michonne segment in the last episode highlighted the struggle beautifully.

  • Yeah, zombies are just the catalyst for the drama and human experience of survival. I feel this season has been the best since the first season (despite Carl's terrible acting) and has done a good job of re-establishing the zombies as some thing more than just background noise. But yes, the meat of the series is about the drama of survival and dealing with the breakdown of humanity, not just as a civilization, but the humanity in the individual people as well. And after the melt down at the prison, watching Carl, Rick, and Michonne walk away in a hollow daze, it made me feel so much more that they are indeed the Walking Dead as a functioning, livable life seems so unattainable for them.
