Another problem with Shawn's zombie obsession is that he never really overcomes it which makes him feel kinda one-note in the long run.

Shawn probably would've been ripped apart in another season the same way TDAS Scott would've been ripped a new one had he not been in a season where everyone else was Flanderized/derailed to a degree (even though his was the worst).
