I am glad we got Amish zombies right out of the way. When I saw these I’m the promo last week I was worried. This is not a show I expect to take the high road often so I am glad they did not go for the low hanging fruit.
This week Z Nation went to a a CDC like outpost to acquire a helicopter. They wetter given this info by Garth from Supernatural after somehow hooking the drive through camera at a fast food joint to the magic of satellite communication. This was done by red head bat girl who I now know is Addy. Because Garth has a crush on her and throughout the episode he creepily uses her Facebook page to have pretend conversations with himself. Yeah. That’s unsettling.
We also are given some backstory for 10K. Which accounts to this caption.
So cleary things at the at the bar are weird. The general is nuts and shoves Doc down an elevator shaft where he is trapped with this for an hour and gets to smoke a joint with a dead guy.
I’m not making this shit up.
Also, here is Big Fucker.
He takes multiple shots to the head and had to be blown up by a grenade.
A few big take aways from this episode is acknowledgment that “Romero” had it right and everyone is infected. They reference the movie “Night of The Living Dead” so we know now this is a world which has zombie fiction.
We also got our first big guest star. Bill Mosley. He plays the crazy general and was very under used. Like he showed up for an afternoon looking for lunch money. I hope this is not how they are going to use guest stars.
He fell off a building shooting back up at the zombies who tackled him. Bad sfx. My wife said “Oh SYFY…”
Next week looks fun with a tornado coming and over references to at least it isn’t sharks. It’s like the show gets worse but we are enjoying it more and more. They might be on to something here.
