Bummer that we probably won't get any more Pisay Pao.

Doubtful since she died in the next episode (series timeline).

I was honestly shocked he lived through the episode. No one gets that much screen time unless they are about to die. Well I guess Addie got a whole episode and didn't die so what do I know.

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.

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.

Funny TWD callout, something like "I've heard of baseball bats being wrapped in barbed wire but not whole Zs"

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.

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 don't get it what's Zone A supposed to mean?

For anyone who didn't make the connection ...

Zone A = Zona, the place they first heard about in Roswell and the place that sent The Man. It was on the experimental US Air Force aircraft (UFO) in the last episode which means it's not just a bunch of billionaire assholes, it's a bunch of billionaire assholes and possibly vestiges of the US government. And as GreenNight said, there could be Zone B, C, etc. The weird thing is everyone has been calling it "Zona", The Man, the sub personnel, etc.

The writing has always been convenient to the episode plot and character motivations are questionable. I right it off as Roberta being lost without a mission, what it is doesn't matter as long as someone is telling her what to do. Doc is along for the ride. Addy is maturing from teen to adult but is also struggling to find motivation to keep going after losing Mac(?). Was that his name? Murphy is just tired of everyone's poo poo.

I wouldn't mind them killing off Warren (being the leader sucks, that's how this show works), leave Lucy in Zona (although Lucy is now played by Tara Holt), and go one more season with Doc, 10K, and Murphy. And at the end of S5 they bring the cure to a tropical island populated with bikini models.

I feel like too much plot ruins more shows than it helps. The best part of Blood Drive was the first half of the season when it was about sex and vehicular homicide. I want more zombnadoes, zombabies, zomballs, killing zombies with the Liberty Bell, and Doc getting high with zombies; less overarching evil corporation poo poo, prophecies or visions. If I want complexity, I'll watch something else.

I find Lucy way more irritating than Addy but I cant really explain why that is. I think Addy has gone a bit too grizzled though.

The new Lucy. The previous Lucy was fine. Something about this actress or character, meh. Plus she's going through the teenager phase.

I hope Warren dies this season. Her character has grown into an annoying person. And the show is overdue for leader death.

Warren was becoming insufferable since early last season and it's getting worse. Honestly she's ruining the show for me, although I actually liked this last episode except for the Warren parts.

Juggalo means jack all to me and I had no problems with the episode, it was one of the better ones this season. If you didn't understand it ... Murphy and 10K are pissed at Warren and do something to spite her. And like most decisions made out of spite, it turns out to be a bad one. Also Sarge got a bra, the least flattering bra of all time and I hope they let her ditch it or get a better one because she looks dumb.

It's not complicated. Juggalos are overzealous fans who wear makeup and ape their favorite band. You could get that much from context. Actually I think they even tell you that in the episode. It's cosplay for rednecks.

I think I might just be over the show. I'm mainly waiting to see if 10K finds his girlfriend. And make sure Doc keeps surviving, but he's going to outlive everyone.

Might mean something, might not ...

Red is not credited anymore this season which doesn't prove anything but for this show that information has been reliable in previous seasons.

Dr Sun has no more credits this season.

Addie has one more credited appearance this season.

Doc is credited for every episode this season except the last one, but I wouldn't take that to mean anything because those credits are incomplete. A character previously thought to be dead is also credited. Flashback? Surprise return?

But yeah, this is the weakest season so don't torture yourself watching something that doesn't make you happy.

About five minutes in the middle were fun. Overall it was the worst episode of the series. I doubt they even had a script. Must have slashed their budget to the bone to have characters walking around in foam as a plot. The suntan lady was funny but looked like she was wearing a painted pillowcase. The editing was very jumpy too. Not good.

Oh thank goodness, I was so worried.

What's troubling about episodes like the foam storm is they were clearly made on a shoestring budget: minimal set, high school quality costumes, minimal script that was probably ad-libbed. Combined with the overall decline in quality, disappearing cast, crappy season arc, and it suggests to me this season almost didn't happen. And that really upsets me considering this is still one of Syfy top shows.

Driving into the sunset felt like foreshadowing, even if it didn't make sense because DC is the other way.
