    Re : Revolutions: Doesn’t the human body use electrical impulses somehow? Like in teh nervous system or something? So how is people alive on show? Then again, how DO Zombies work? I mean, unless they’re just dead bodies being manipulated by some kind of cybernetics or something, because that’s totally hard sci-fi plausible!

    Still hoping teh secrud project is the Stargate X-mas special. Also hope people involved made back up copies of their back up copies of the audio files, and also DON’T STORE THEM WITH WES!!! <– surely you saw this joke coming, right? Wait, that should be "Joke".

  2. Wesley says:

    Bob asked that, or at least mentioned that the brain is all electrical impulses. Zombies generally work by magic. It’s usually some sort of handwavery about Hell being full or God punishing us or whatever. Those are all fine because it’s okay to have a story about magical zombies. It’s a bit less workable to have a story that purports to be “science” fiction but boils down to magic. Just make it magic. Boom. Problem solved.

    My zombies are awesome, and totally plausible in a universe where antimatter is a common fuel, people can travel faster than light, anti-gravity exists, and a war caused entire planets’ populations to all mutate in exactly the same way.

    Hell, zombies actually sound like one of the MOST plausible things there.

    As to the storage of the files, fear not. They were never even on a machine I owned, and I made sure not to even touch the machine they WERE on while it was in my presence.

    As to what the project actually is… you’ll have to wait :-D
