I first heard it used as a way to describe guests not part of the anime convention that took over the hotel. As in "don't annoy the mundanes, we would like to use this hotel next year".
Edit: Yes, the term "mundane" probably came from Babylon 5 which was very popular and was still on the air at the time.

Oh, and I forgot to mention this before, but I was disappointed when Rick didn't grab the hatchet out of the bag of tricks.

I picked up using it way back in the mid-80's when reading Piers Anthony's Xanth novels. |

Then again, I try to read them now and wonder what I was thinking.
Mundane has been used as a term for non sci-fi and fantasy initiated people since the 70s at least. It was common at science fiction conventions back then. Let's freak out the mundanes.

I never thought about earlier conotations, but I can believe that it has earlier meaning than what I first remember seeing it in. Piers Anthony was quite popular in the '70's and 80's so he probably took the term for his novels from the cons he was invited to.
I still shudder to think that I, my friends, and my dad, once thought his books were awesome. So much so that a friend of mine made a D&D campaign out of Xanth.

This was at something called ZomBCon. So take that hearsay with a grain of salt.

If you're not familiar with Norman Reedus, I suggest "The Boondock Saints".

Well just one more reason for me to hate Shane.
Cancel the kitchen scraps for widows and lepers, no more merciful beheadings and call off christmas!
Remember how I was starting to feel for Shane?
Well, that's done.

I saw it coming after he ran into Otis again.
Normally, I actually really dislike the Shane character. But after tonight? He's finally making the worthwhile "We have to do everything and anything to survive and protect our group" that shines throughout the comic (I hasten to add, one of my favorite Rick's traits).
He's starting to look more like the comic Shane now.
As for Merle is the Governor (I'd still like it to happen), the more we see Daryl's character develop...the more I see the inevitable Brother vs. Brother struggle.
Though, I'd be cool with Merle to never appear again. Leave it unresolved.

Edit 2.0: I really dislike the Andrea character in the show. Maybe it's the actress.

Granted, he is the wise old dude and all, but Shane was practically wearing a neon sign saying, "Lori's MINE".

I still feel that Rick (tv show) knows there is something strange going on. He can't (or shouldn't be) that oblivious.|

I think it's more Rick being sorta cowardly, towards his own problems at least.
I guess that's why Officer Rick Grimes (black and white version - Thank you Toys R Us!) occupies a spot on my desk instead of Deputy Rick Grimes.

Sometimes, we only see what we want to see. Rick doesn't want to see that Shane has a thing for Lori or that he wants to see Lori having done something with Shane.

Guess what. If you were starting to like Shane then you'll start to like him again later. After all, Jack Harkness tortured his own grandson to death right in front of his daughter, and yet this year he was a good guy again. People tend to forget the bad stuff when it happens to a character they have no emotional investment in.
I'm still getting annoyed at the sheer survival stupidity of these folks though.
"That was a waste of an arrow." Hey, I've got an idea. Why don't you cut the rope and get your arrow back?
Hmmmm... we're standing above all these zombies and they can't reach us. Now we could pull out a machete and start chopping off hands. Then once they can't grab us we could start splitting heads. Nah, lets just jump down and try running.
And if you have people going out on an urgent mission that may require them to pass through a bunch of zombies, how about giving them more than 10 rounds of ammo each?
Speaking of ammo they should all be armed with .22 cal rifles. You can find them by the truckload at any sporting goods store. Plus probably 90% of homes in the country have at least one. And there is more .22 cal ammo available then any other caliber.
Ok, done ranting now. And if it means anything I only tend to rant about shows I like. If I don't like the show there is no reason to complain about stupid stuff they do.
Don't count your weasels before they pop dink!
New theory...Shane becomes the Governor.
Also, Maggie is teh kewt.
I was thrown off by the wasted arrow comment, too. It's a re-corpseified zombie. It aint gonna bite you if you cut it down from the tree and rip your arrow out of its noggin.

Poor Otis. I saw it coming, but... poor Otis.
Anyway, I would've preferred Donna over that lady who "opted out" with Jenner, but it seems like they've given some of her loudmouth qualities to Daryl.
no the gated community is before the farm and that is where Donna is killed while everyone is off taking a look at potential houses to move into not realizing that the community has become overrun by the walkers....
