* UnreliableNarrator: WordOfGod is that [[http://brisownworld.com/alison-sumner-and-the-unreliable-narrator/#more-9867 Alison]] tells Brains from her perspective, and in doing so she reduces some of the complexities of the other characters in order to fit them into certain roles; some resist this more openly than others. If later seasons are produced, other viewpoints will come to the fore, and Alison will be a little more open about letting the world as-it-is shine through, rather than filtering it through her perceptive lens first.

** At the end of Episode 4, a shambler wanders into the area the students are in. They form a defensive group, with Carl and Damian arguing over whether the zombie has reached the "point of no return". Carl is the one to reluctantly put it down.
* ZombieApocalypse: The series is set after one has been mostly contained, with people returning to college and a semblance of normal life. Shamblers still appear on occasion, with patrols still necessary. Arts are largely seen as frivolous, something that Alison strongly objects to.

Alison Sumner is a normal neuropsych college student who is starting up a vlog series, documenting her life after the ZombieApocalypse has ended. Society has put itself back together enough for schools and other such institutions to return, and she's trying to get back into the swing of things.
Her main concerns are her project for neuropsychology, and dating. And since she's had to endure five years of a zombie apocalypse sans romantic opportunities, her hormones are kicking back into high gear. Hilarity ensues!
