Oh, I definitely vote for zombies over serious. No, I do not find Nemesis sexy.
I've seen vampires used as "we must repopulate the planet!" excuses, but I never felt they pulled it off well. After all, vampires wouldn't want to hunt their food supply into extinction. Any story could potentially include backstabbing and betrayal; as you pointed out, those elements make a good drama.
I was chatting with DC last night and we were discussing the values of killing off main characters, especially if they are beloved ones. We concluded the main character should struggle to get to the conclusion and lose something important in the process.
