Z Nation - Amish Zombies yesterday - next week - Zombie Tornadoes

[NewJeffCT]

Z Nation is certainly no Walking Dead, but it's a cross country trek through Zombie filled environs. Last night, they had Amish zombies.

Next week's preview has tornadoes & zombies.

Some of the characters are starting to grow on me a bit, but not that much.

1. Some of the characters are starting to gnaw on me a bit, too. :)

But I can't wait for Zombienado!

2. I don't really like any of them that much

even the old hippy doctor guy is annoying.

3. I really need to be watching this show. nt

4. Looking for a good counterstrategy?

5. I'm not sure

if it's supposed to be taken seriously, or if it's kind of mock serious.

6. Not take zombie TV series seriously?

Heretic!

8. Ha! nt

7. I completely missed the Amish angle.

I saw the soldier zombies and after that scene with the doc and the obgyn in the elevator shaft, I was left wondering if they plan to develop the idea that zombies retain some of their memories after death. That would make the mercy killings a little more difficult to accept for those who killed their loved ones.

9. It was a scene in passing

you see some zombies with the typical amish clothes and beards, and then one of them goes, "Amish zombies, really?" and the old guy (I think) mentioned how the Amish tried to shut themselves off when it all started.

10. I'll pay closer attention next time.

I agree that it is difficult to find someone that is likeable. Everyone is trying too hard to be goofy.

11. and, while I know it's not real

but, taking zombies out with a slingshot? Really?

12. It's more Zombieland than The Walking Dead.

For some reason I was expecting more of the the latter.

While watching Znation (which I like well enough to watch) my appreciation for TWD story and character development grew.

13. Zombieland

was helped by a great cast that was able to pull off the serious, but not too serious, nature of the movie - Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, and of course, BM.

14. Agreed. And Bill Murray was an awesome casting decision.

Znation cast can't really do as much.

15. One of the best cameos I've seen

But, you can't expect the SyFy Channel to have the money to hire Bill Murray, Emma Stone, Jesse Eisenberg, etc. Pulling off that mock seriousness isn't that easy.

16. True enough.
