Didn't know where an appropriate forum for this topic would actually be since this series went off-air before 2006, I believe.
Did anyone see Dead Like Me? If you did, this question will make a lot more sense. If you did not, just to give the very basic summary: show about a girl who dies, becomes a grim reaper, and lives among the other reapers. Dead, unaffected by death...but living among the actual living, holding down a real job, appearing alive in every way...except her real job is to reap souls of people about to really die.
Anyway, the Reapers in Dead like Me couldn't die. They were already dead. So this led to a discussion between Mari and I. What would happen if Dead Like Me crossed with a Zombie flick? How would Zombies react to the Reapers? Zombies don't attack other zombies...presumably because they want live flesh. However, Reapers are dead. But they act as if they're alive. So would a zombie attack a Reaper? And are zombies technically alive? Because if they are, if they attack a Reaper, couldn't a reaper just reap their souls and cause the zombie to fully die?
You might think Mari and I have too many thoughts, but these are serious questions. Well, more serious than our last question that we discussed at length: Are Scotts the cheapest people on earth?
