Not sure if just woke up, or been smoking weed.

Neither?
Both!.


It wasn't really a legit question. More of a "I thought of this early in the morning as the 'possibility' of a metaphor in the name considering the phrase 'dead man walking', and the fact that in the show 'the Walking Dead' the main foes are people who will kill other people to protect people."


While I'm more than aware the show's title is probably not actually a metaphor for people, and more of a literal thing for zombies - I still found it an enticing thought.

Typh, you're actually on to something there... but that would be spoilers from the books...

Honestly it probably is a metaphor and a good observation, I was just giving you a hard time.
