Line 78:
* [[Slept Through the Apocalypse]]: Jim.
* [[Synthetic Plague]]: The Rage Virus, which was originally meant to soothe temperamental persons.
* [[Technically Living Zombie]]: The Infected are a poster-child for this trope, and in many ways ''28 Days Later'' started the wave of interest in this new "zombie" (really, Crazies). Anything that will kill a human can kill them, i.e. riddling their chest with bullets that are *''not*'' expertly aimed. They've got a strong "mind-over-matter" adrenaline rush, though, so don't wait for them to get right on top of you. They're not smart enough to use weapons, and aren't explicitly trying to "eat" people (though they do animalistically bite people to attack). The real danger is that they'll easily infect you from close contact, what with all of their mucous membranes disintegrating into a bloody mess and puking up torrents of blood with little or no provocation.
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Let's start with the scientists who decided to use chimpanzees, which are incredibly strong and can get pretty damn aggressive already, as guinea pigs for the Rage virus. Then the animal rights activists who release said infected chimpanzees ''after being warned that they're contagious.'' Additionally said scientists use a facility that doesn't even incorporate the most basic of quarantine procedures.<ref>(And apparently, decent security systems)</ref>
* [[Took a Level in Badass]]: Jim {{spoiler|post-snapping}}.
Line 84:
* [[What Happened to the Mouse?]]: What happened to the poor goldfish, last seen in Frank and Hannah's flat? Presumably something bad.
* [[Zombie Apocalypse]]: {{spoiler|Only for Britain}}.
* [[Zombie Infectee]]: The Rage Virus is too fast -acting for this to last long, but the man traveling with Selena is one, begging for his life despite being infected. {{spoiler|The father}} averts this, knowing he's been infected and trying to get {{spoiler|his daughter}} to stay away.
