Yay Vasquez.I assume his one condition for rejoining the group and taking down Murphy will be Hector's head

It's good to have a sense of scale.



I knew from Bill Clinton's Actual Limo and "Breakfast is the most important drink of the day" this was gonna be good one. Not disappointed.

I got the Wall thing, obviously, but is there some metaphor for Giant Holes that I missed? I felt like I should have gotten a joke there.

Skeezy and Sketchy might be my favourite side-characters ever and the Addy and Doc roadtrip was fun as hell. Great episode!

It might be a stretch, but it could be a nod to World War Z (from Wikipedia):

In South Africa, the government adopts a contingency plan drafted by apartheid-era intelligence consultant Paul Redeker. It calls for the establishment of small sanctuaries, leaving large groups of survivors abandoned in special zones in order to distract the undead and allowing those within the main safe zone time to regroup and recuperate.

I love this show but a lot of things felt so forced. Prez Trump and his fake hairpiece, The Wall, Lannister, etc.

I still liked it, but it felt over the top even for Z Nation.

Just caught up with the new season. I was originally afraid that they would slip after the pretty amazing second series, but so far this one has been even better. Unbelievable that the piece of poo poo Fear The Walking Dead show got ten times the number of viewers as this, it's like a Lifetime Original movie vs. Mad Max.

E: Also gently caress yeah, Sketchy & Skeezy!

Some flag shops will do custom orders. Since someone else posted a pic of it, a place that does customs could probably hook you up.

E: Or look for an Etsy seller.

Thanks. Actually I sell print, including flags and can have one made easily (and probably will). It just seemed really dumb to tease a bit of merch like that and not have it for sale immediately after.

edit; that was surprisingly easy to recreate. I'll send it off and have one made and report back with a pic. I'll get a smaller one, probably 18" wide or something, maybe a tad bigger.

It's pretty incredible the way this show can pull of tonal shifts like last week and this week while still being firmly consistent.

I really liked Vasquez imitating Hector's voice, also that while the thread had guessed he was the leader of the Red Hand but the show played it with a light touch for most of the season.
I'm really sad to see Hector go I was really enjoying him.

If he did I missed it. I thought he had a spasm and then they said, "It didn't work" "He didn't turn".

The last seconds of the episode had Hector wake up with weird eyes. So he's probably some kind of superzombie now.

I am ok with him being either Anti-Murphy or the Final Boss of the season. Figures I managed to get distracted at the very end.

Yeah, Hector woke up in like a weird after scene that came after the episode seemed to end. It was quick and easy to miss.

Suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.

It's a pretty badass idea actually. Wrap your Z's in concertina wire and turn them loose on enemies.

Sent this flag to be printed, ordered 3. Material isn't 100% decided yet, told them to call me since I sent it while they were closed.
