It seems they always had him playing Pa Kettle actually!

Selena and Murphy's fantasy romance is total madness and fun.

I didn't catch more of 10K's note but you could read it with the bleed through. Top line was definitely "Find Warren".

FIND WARREN

If she resists, kill her?

I thought so too but I think other people are suggesting that it's 'if she resists, kill yourself' which is infinitely more Murphy.

The hemming may be necessary, depending on what kind of fabric they are using. Maybe try to trim the excess margins a bit?

It's polyester. There shouldn't have been excess. Also this is a different material than the last time I ordered "polyester". Last time it was a soft material that had to be hemmed because it would fray, this stuff feels coated.

I'm really worried about Doc. Lots of Doc heavy episodes this season, and I'd hate if that note turns out to say "IF SHE RESISTS, KILL DOC." like it'd be some kind of message about holy poo poo 10k killed doc, this is serious.

Doc's Angels

Doc tries to find a way to communicate with Warren, but instead encounters something much more menacing.

bull3964: Nov 18, 2000; DO YOU HEAR THAT? THAT'S THE SOUND OF ME PATTING MYSELF ON THE BACK.

I went through the end frame by frame and you can see everything except who he's supposed to kill. It's completely obscured the entire time, there's nothing to work with.

# ? Nov 25, 2016 21:34

Erghh: Sep 24, 2007; "Let him speak!"

"Just walk away now before you end up pickled in a jar...then again it is the apocalypse."

Doc held out on on the sexy creepy women for an impressive 1.5 seconds.

I'm not a big fan of TWD, but its not nearly as bad as this ~~thread~~ forum makes it.

Both shows have their ups and down. They're very different and I think both are enjoyable to watch. Although Z Nation is definitely more entertaining and fun.

Z Nation is way more fun, and as silly as it sounds, I feel like the world in Z Nation is more realistic. At least concerning post apocalyptic settlements and humanity's overall attitude towards the situation. Especially early on, before the nukes fell. But it's the Zpocalypse, so I'm just rolling with it.

Personally, i think neither one is very realistic. At least, I hope they're not.
What bugs me about TWD is that everyone care more about killing humans than Zombies.
What bugs me about Z Nation is wherever our "heroes" go, a settlement will be destroyed.
Hell, I'm surprised those 3 crazy chicks didn't die at the end of last episode.

Either way, I enjoy both. But in all honesty, if I could only watch one show... it would be Z Nation cuz its so fun.

Really? I always thought that what set Z Nation apart was that as often as not, the people they encountered had their own lives, survived and went about their business. When they didn't it was because their respective settlements were fundamentally unsustainable and couldn't survive any disruption. In TWD, anyone they encounter is a cardboard cutout designed to highlight how much we're supposed to love Rick Grimes.

I mean, just the fact of Sketchy and Skeezy as recurring characters speaks to a more expansive world of which our heroes are just a part. The entire 7 seasons of TWD appear to take place on a mile stretch of Georgia back roads.

I know what you mean about the back road comment. TWD always felt like, no matter how much they traveled, they're pretty much right beside where Rick started.

Regarding Z Nation, if you re-watch it, you'll notice that no settlement or group of people ever survive the group. Except for those Native Americans and those 3 crazy girls. Everything else always just die when our heros shows up. To be fair though, its never really their fault. Things just happen around them.

The group from the Election episode survived, the settlement where Sketchy and 10k are sentenced to hanging also survive, the corporate retreat goes to hell, but there are some surveyors who make it out.

I think you'll find that Z Nation has a far higher rate of non-cast members surviving.

The show ended, the group from the election were fighting for their lives against Z's and another group of guys. We didnt' see them get completely destroyed, but they were not in good shape.
My point is not that "no one" survives, but rather most settlements or groups do not. Individuals may survive, but the group as a whole usually doesn't.

I mean I can always watch it again to see if I'm wrong (probably will at one point, the show is great).

Okay, but in contrast, what's the survival rate in TWD for those people/settlements who have encountered the main cast? Is it really better than Z Nation?

I guess my bigger point is that in Z Nation, there's shown to be existence outside of the main narrative/cast which adds an enormous amount of of texture to the world.
