Remains (2011)

Remains doesn’t waste any time with the setup. A bomb goes off in the distance and the beginning of the end of the world has started. Anyone exposed to the blast turns into a flesh hungry Zombie. This leaves the small group of survivors in Reno Nevada in a struggle for their lives.

As I was watching it I couldn’t help but start to wonder if the writers had seen Train to Busan. And the Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula. Especially after the Zombies go dormant in the dark, and the survivors use a remote controlled car to distract the Zombies.

Remote Controlled Car As A Distraction

Then I did some digging. Remains was made in 2011, and predates both of those movies by at least six years. I guess that means that maybe the writers of Train to Busan had watched Remains instead.

You will also recognize several famous actors, which isn’t always the case in some little known Zombie movies. Of course the main character Tom, is played by Grant Bowler, and he’s been in a ton of movies. Ramsay is played by Lance Reddick, better known as Charon, the hotel manager from John Wick. (FYI, don’t be disappointed, he’s only in it for a few minutes.) Rest in peace Lance, you were amazing in everything I ever saw you in.

Spoilers Below

As the movie progresses, the tone changes. The military convoy becomes the “bad guys” instead of the Zombies. This is when things started to remind me of Night of the Comet. Which came out in 1984. The soldiers who show up in Remains don’t last long. After trying to steal food, Tom leads some of the soldiers into an ambush and lets the zombies take care of the rest.

With the hotel compromised, Tom and Tori decide to try and get out of town again. This leads to an amusing, if failed, attempt to use a tiny car to escape the garage.

Small Car Escape – Maybe

After retreating to the roof, Tom and Tori watch as the general’s daughter Cindy spins her vehicle out. They of course decide to go help and Tom uses a magic show “Hamster Wheel” prop to save Cindy.

Hamster Wheel Rescue

While our three survivors are resting for the night, the new breed of more dangerous Zombies that Cindy warned them about have flooded into town. It’s time to escape or die. With the help of the bomb that Cindy had on her, they hope they might just be able to escape.

Cindy almost bites it because of her long hair, and then Tori’s true nature comes to the forefront as she decides to go it alone after cold clocking Tom and bashing Cindy in the face.

What happens to bad friends? They get their lips bitten off before getting caught in a bomb blast, then swarmed by a horde.

Tori Buffet Is Served

When the second bomb goes off it gives Tom and Cindy just the distraction they need to get in the car and head out.

Somehow Tori is still mostly in once piece. Or at least kind of. Now she is turned into a super badass zombie. You know, just in case someone wants to make a second movie.

Remains Scoring

Remains scored a 71/100 and is Worth Your Time. It is what I would call a Popcorn Movie, its fun to watch, and consistent from start to end. I was really happily surprised with just how well done Remains was. This was a low budget movie. According to the internet, it was only one million bucks to make, which is nothing when it comes to movies. Even in 2011.

The Walking Dead, Season 2, Episode 2

Bloodletting begins with a short flashback. Lori is remembering the day that Shane came to tell her that Rick has been shot in the line of duty. Just before Shane arrived she’s telling a girlfriend that her and Rick had a fight, and she was not being reasonable. Rick responds to her anger with coolness, and that makes her even madder. The way Lori responds when Shane pulls up is just heartbreaking. How does a police wife respond when her husbands partner shows up without him?

Is He Alive?

Spoilers Below

Shane tells Lori that its his fault. The call said there were two men in the car, but there was a third. The third man got the drop on them. Lori has to tell Carl that his dad has been shot.

When we come back from the first break, Rick, Shane, and Otis (the man who shoots Carl while hunting deer) are running for the farm. Otis told them that Hershel will be able to help them. This does raise some interesting questions about how well supplied Hershel’s camp is, because, well, Otis is a big boy – which is slowing them down a bit.

Carl Is Down

We are then to meet a newcomer. This newcomer will become one of the major characters for multiple seasons. Please let me introduce Maggie. Maggie sees Rick running, and alerts her father, Hershel. When Rick gets to the porch the first thing Hershel asks is whether Carl was bit. Once they confirm Carl was shot, not bit, the Hershel Emergency medical team goes into action.

Back in the woods, Team Daryl is leading the rest of the group on their continued search for Sophia. They heard the shot in the distance that hit Carl, but have no idea what actually happened – yet.

Back at Hershel’s house, we see Carl struggling, screaming as Hershel removes the bullet fragments. At least until he passes out from the pain. Lucky for Carl, him and his father have the same blood type.

How To Save Carl

Hershel has stabilized Carl, but he needs to open his belly to stop a bleeder. The local hospital burnt down, but FEMA opened a shelter at the local high school and there are medical supplies there. Rick can’t leave, he has to be there to give Carl blood. This leaves the medical supply mission up to Shane and Otis, while Maggie goes to get Lori, on a f*cking horse!!!

Maggie’s Ride

Back at Hershel’s farm, Rick and Hershel are having a heart to heart, at least until Maggie returns with Lori and she’s faced with seeing her son on the brink of death, pale and unresponsive from his wounds.

We then get an awesome back and forth between Lori and Hershel as he tells her he’s a vet, and not a combat vet, a vet as in a veterinarian.

The High School

Meanwhile Shane and Otis have reached the FEMA site at the local high school, and things do not look so great. There are a lot of Zombies about.

Zombie Hordes At The High School

With so many Zombies about, Shane is forced to wait until nightfall when he can use road flares liberated from one of the cop cars to create a distraction to get the Zombies away from the FEMA trailer.

Flares To Distract The Walkers

The distraction gives Shane and Otis the time they need to collect the medical supplies, but the horde is hot on their trail as they leave the trailer. This is one of the reasons that The Walking Dead is so awesome, the Zombie hordes are just so well done:

The Horde Hot On Shane’s Heels

With hordes coming at them from every side, Shane and Otis are forced to take shelter inside the school, at least as long as the gate will hold.

Shane And Otis Are Cornered

Bloodletting Scoring

Bloodletting was another episode of The Walking Dead that kept me glued to the screen. It scored a 91/100, and is Worth Your Time. What cost it 9 points? Mostly very minor things. The first is that a lot of time bullet fragments are left in patients unless they are causing issues. So while the surgery is still necessary for the bleeder, going after the fragments is just asking for trouble. The other minor thing is the Zombies are heavy in the last few minutes, but you can never have enough Zombie kills, and there was really just one good kill when Daryl kills the Zombie that was menacing Andrea before Maggie shows up on her stead to save her.

Bad Gun Handling – Gun In Pants

Do not put a Gun In Pants! This is what holsters were made for. Sticking a firearm directly into your pocket or pants is Bad Gun Handling! I’ve seen so many clips of accidental discharges when the person doing this tries to pull the weapon out quickly.

Yeah, that’s why they make holsters. At least its a revolver so she’s less likely to accidentally shoot herself, but still…

Proper Grip and Stance = Bad Gun Handling
Proper Grip and Stance

Guns are not toys. Guns are not props for photo shoots. They are dangerous tools. Mishandle them and people will end up hurt.

Why do I show these videos and pictures? Because I like to go to the range and every one of these videos gives the non shooting public a bad impression of the total shooting community.

Always follow the four basic rules of Gun Safety:

  1. Always keep firearms pointed in a safe direction.
  2. Treat all guns as loaded at all times.
  3. Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
  4. Always be sure of your target and what’s beyond it.

This is a clear violation of Rule 2. Sticking a firearm down your pants is not treating it as if its loaded!

Get all the Survival Gear you need to survive!

The Walking Dead, Season 2, Episode 1

What Lies Ahead kicks off Season 2 for The Walking Dead.

Rick hasn’t forgotten about his promise to Morgan, and before they flee Atlanta, Rick is talking into his walkie, trying to let Morgan know that the CDC in Atlanta was a dead end, they are trying to move on to Fort Benning.

Path to Fort Benning

If there weren’t Zombies and abandoned cars, that is just a two hour drive, it’s even walkable at just under forty hours, even if you were only going to hike eight hours a day for a week. If you pushed yourself this could easily be done in just three days. But of course during the Zombie Apocalypse, nothing is going to be easy.

Traffic

Spoilers Below

Team Rick hasn’t made it far when they run into a massive traffic snarl, which is made worse when the RV radiator blows, bringing the survivors convoy to a complete halt.

With little option, the group spreads out to scavenge. They need gas, water, supplies, and of course a radiator hose. The survivors are scavenging when Rick sees a walker in the distance.

Target Aquired

And then the horde that is rapidly approaching.

The scavengers do their best to hide under cars and get out of site but T-Dog cuts hi arm pretty badly and everyone else is freaking out as the horde filters between the cars they are hiding under. Andrea gets stuck in the RV, trying to put together her pistol as a walker stumbles around inside the cabin.

We then get two awesome Zombie Kills in rapid succession. The first is Daryl saving T-Dog with a nice stealth kill:

Stealth Kill

Followed up very quickly by Andrea also discovering what an awesome tool a screwdriver is to kill the Undead. Its perfect for eye socket to brain damage.

Andrea in Action

Andrea of course isn’t quite as calm and composed as Daryl is, but she gets the job done.

Sophia Goes Missing

Outside the group thinks they’ve survived, but just when they were about to start coming out from under the cars Sophia is chased out from under her car and flees into the woods. Rick follows her and is able to find her, but there are walkers everywhere. He stashes her in a hole in the bank of a stream and leads the group of walkers away from here, trying to save her.

When Rick loops back after losing the horde, Sophia isn’t there. Team Rick spreads out in the woods, searching for Sophia.

As Daryl tracks Sophia and Rick follows, we get introduced to the first of many mistakes Carl will make when he decides to scavenge a bag of edged weapons without any backup.

Out in the wood Rick & Daryl take down a walker and when Rick finds what looks like skin under its nails, they have no choice but to gut it to see if its got Sophia in its guts.

Thankfully the walker only has some woodchuck in her belly.

When Rick and Daryl come back as night is falling Carol is heartbroken. Her little girl is out in the woods, in the dark.

The next morning the survivors distribute the edged weapons Carl scavenged and head out to search for Sophia again. Dale is worried about Andrea having a firearm, and Shane agrees that they should restrict who has firearms to help save everyone. Andrea wanted to die back at the CDC, and only came out because she didn’t want Dale’s blood on her hands – and she let’s him know she’s not happy about it.

Out in the woods the searchers discover a tent, and there is a brief moment of hope that Sophia may have found it and spent the night, but when Daryl goes to search the only thing inside is a suicide.

The team is still in the woods when they hear bells ringing in the distance and head for the sound. Could Sophia of found a church?

T-Dog & Dale

As the searchers march for the church T-Dog and Dale have a wonderful conversation. Dale already fixed the RV’s radiator, but didn’t tell anyone because he doesn’t want to give the group a reason to stop searching for Sophia too soon, or as he puts it, to weigh the benefits of the many against the one. Jeffrey DeMunn, who plays Dale, is just a phenomenal actor.

After the searchers clear the church Shane and Lori argue outside. Shane’s planning on running, and he’s not willing to talk to Rick. He pretty much leaves it up to Lori to tell Rick whatever she wants.

Rick takes a moment alone inside the church to beg a higher power to give him a sign. He feels responsible for Sophia being lost, and he’s struggling with guilt. He feels responsible.

Rick, Shane, and Carl end up out in the woods and come upon a deer. There is a magical moment as Carl walks up to the wild creature, and then a shot comes out of nowhere, taking down the deer and hitting Carl with a through and through shot.

What Lies Ahead ends with Carl hitting the ground, a gunshot wound to his chest. Now we have to wait until next week to see if he survives!

What Lies Ahead Scoring

What Lies Ahead scored a 95/100, making it Worth Your Time. The episode starts out strong and ends strong. There was a small lull in the 3rd quarter that cost it just a few points.

Dead Trigger (2017)

A virus has killed billions and turned others into zombies. Unable to stop the spread, the government creates a video game. That is the one liner from the Dead Trigger’s website (paraphrased). Let’s see how this Dolph Lundgren vehicle stands up against its peers.

The director of Dead Trigger is clearly a fan of Starship Troopers. From the opening scenes of of the rally to join the “forces” to the zombie necropsy, this feels like someone just took the Starship Troopers script and tried to make it into a Zombie Movie.

The highlight of the training was the shotgun “accident” which made me laugh. I didn’t like the fact that the Zombies don’t seem to require headshots to kill them. What kind of Zombie Movie doesn’t use that as canon?

I guess these kids were suppose to be good Zombie Killers because they played video games? Why would anyone send this group of very green goofballs on a critical mission? A lot of the story just doesn’t make any sense.

There is an attempt to blend the “bad guy politician” with the story, as well as the tried and true, “we were working on a cure for cancer” as the root cause, but Dead Trigger never really hits on all cylinders at once.

The filmography is high quality, but the special effects are hit or miss. Some of the effects looked top notch, but some of the Zombies had really poorly done makeup on. The acting was C+ to B – at best. They were trying, but sometimes the dialogue they were given was just bad, which made the actors look bad.

Dead Trigger Scoring

My advice is to wait for a rainy day, get drunk, then turn on Dead Trigger as it is just a few points away from being in Just Bad territory at 35/100.

Z Nation Season 3, Episode 14

Everybody Dies in the End is the Season 3 finale. I’m hoping it is as high octane as last episode, which really kicked some butt.

The Man has Teen Lucy. Yes, she’s aging fast. He’s trying to convince her that no one is coming to save her. Not even Addy – but Lucy still has faith.

Zombie Guide

What The Man doesn’t know is that Lucy is a smart kid. She’s left behind a Zombie Guide for Addie. Nothing like Zombie GPS to point the way. He also doesn’t know that Kaya is tracking him, and directing Team Warren down on him as well.

Spoilers Below

When The Man get’s to the meeting point, he finds it flooded with Zombie’s. The kind that Lucy can’t control. Good thing for The Man a strike team from Zona is there to save his bacon.

Strike Team Mows Down A Horde

The Man quickly discovers that whatever is going on, things at Zona may be falling apart. The strike team he thought was sent to pick him up is actually just a group of soldiers left there without orders. Just like the other Zona survivors, the soldiers are losing their immunity.

Outside Addie, Doc, and the Zombie Guide have reached the Zona compound, but its a long way up, and no easy way to get in. Addie decides to climb, leaving Doc behind with the Zombie Guide in case she is wrong. It’s not too long before Doc is ambushed by paratroopers, and they don’t appear to be doing so well either.

Infected Eyes

Doc and Zombie Guide are about to get overrun when Team Warren shows up to save him. Our poor Zombie Guide is given Mercy before Doc can explain that he’s helping them.

Hunting The Man

We now have two teams closing in on The Man. Addie is climbing the mountain as Team Warren is coming through from the lower entrance.

Inside, The Man is trying to comfort Lucy, telling her he’s going to protect her, even from death. I was really expecting her to bite him as he held her. I guess it was a moment of honest fear on her part.

While all this is going on 10K is dying. How to do you save a dying man? Well, during the Zombie Apocalypse you strangle him, have Murphy bite him, and inject him with a dose of Zombie Vaccine all at the same time!

Which leads us to the final confrontation. Team Warren has reached the top of the Zona compound. Warren is shocked to see Lucy is now a teen, but Doc has a pretty good explanation.

It’s The Apocalypse Stupid

As Warren is trying to negotiate with The Man, Murphy takes the moment of distraction to take his shot. He wings The Man and grabs Lucy. Warren faces off with The Man for a moment before Murphy steps in again, wanting to put an end to The Man once and for all. Unfortunately for Murphy, his brief moment of strength ends up getting both him and Warren shot.

Double Shot

With Warren and Murphy down The Man picks up Lucy, throws her over his shoulder, and takes her up to the helipad.

This is when thing get really weird. Addie shows up, grabs Lucy, and they jump off the edge of the platform. Red’s little brother then follows them over the edge. Season 3 ends on a cliff hanger as a futuristic flying vessel shows up and shoots a pulse rifle several times. We see Murphy and Warren’s eyes glowing bluish before the season comes to an end.

Everybody Dies in the End Scoring

Really? This is how we are ending Season 3. After the massive build up from Duel, Everybody Dies in the End is a bit of a letdown. Everybody Dies in the End earned itself a 70/100, and is Worth Your Time, but I really hate cliffhanger endings like this.

Bad Gun Handling – Boom

When a gun goes Boom it is not good for anyone nearby. This is just scary. I hope the shooter is okay. Very scary!

This scares the hell out of me.

I don’t know exactly what caused this, so I’m sorry if this turned out to be a freak accident due to bad gunsmithing or commercial ammo manufacturing.

So why did I include it here. Because there are a few causes that are more likely, and those are all user associated.

Did he set it barrel down? Is there debris stuck in the barrel?

Did he load is own ammo and was it over pressure?

Is the weapon well maintained? Is this the 100,000th round and the gun’s never been cleaned?

The bottom line, be careful so things like this are less likely to happen to you.

Proper Grip and Stance = Bad Gun Handling
Proper Grip and Stance

Guns are not toys. Guns are not props for photo shoots. They are dangerous tools. Mishandle them and people will end up hurt.

Why do I show these videos and pictures? Because I like to go to the range and every one of these videos gives the non shooting public a bad impression of the total shooting community.

Always follow the four basic rules of Gun Safety:

  1. Always keep firearms pointed in a safe direction.
  2. Treat all guns as loaded at all times.
  3. Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
  4. Always be sure of your target and what’s beyond it.

This is a clear violation of Rule 2. Sticking a firearm down your pants is not treating it as if its loaded!

Get all the Survival Gear you need to survive!

Zombie Undead (2010)

Zombie Undead is what I’d call a “classic”. It follows a tried and true storyline. Sarah, played by Ruth King doesn’t have a clue about what she’s about to face. She’s racing to the hospital with her father who’s injured and bleeding.

Zombie Undead
Zombie Undead

Out on the streets a dirty bomb has been set off, and its lit the fuse on the Zombie Apocalypse. Sarah, and a small number of other survivors at the hospital are faced with the usual survival issues. First she has to overcome her disbelief, then survive.

This is a low budget movie without a lot of special effects. Unless I got a bad quality copy, was shot in low definition – either to make it more creepy, or to save money. However, it is a decent representation of what a Zombie Movie should be. It was just done on a budget and it doesn’t deviate much from what you would expect.

Zombie Undead Scoring

The ending was a little flat, but if you save this for a really rainy day while having a few drinks it will all be okay, which is why Zombie Undead scored a 40/100.

Z Nation Season 3, Episode 13

Duel is such an ominous name isn’t it? I can’t wait to see who the duelists are? Warren vs The Man? Warren vs Murphy? The Man vs Murphy? There are so many options!

The episode starts with Addy finding Lucy down by the docks.

Addy tries to get Lucy to flee before The Man returns, but the kid isn’t as old as she looks. Unfortunately for Addy, Lucy still acts like a spoiled brat. Unfortunately, this gives The Man time to return and put Addy through the ringer. Lucy flees, forcing The Man and Addy to both chase after her instead of fight each other.

Addy Getting A Beat Down

Addy tries to reach Lucy, but gets trapped on a burning boat. The Man flees with the kid as Addy struggles to survive. Addy escapes just before the boat goes up in a ball of flames.

Boom Goes The Boat

Addy thinks she’s lost the trail. Lucky for her Lucy is a bright kid. Lucy uses her Zombie control to have a dismembered arm point in her direction, telling Addy which way to go.

Even beat up and hurt, Addy still can’t help but smile as she leaves Doc a note, and some Z weed before heading back after The Man.

Addy Took A Beating

With a little bit of corner cutting Addy is able to get in front of The Man and doesn’t screw around with the Z Whacker this time. Instead opting to just put a few bullets in him.

The Man Goes Down

Addy rescues Lucy, but for some reason doesn’t put a bullet in The Man’s head before driving away.

Safe for the moment, Addy stops to get Lucy some new clothing, and is forced to tell Lucy that her mother is dead. As expected, this doesn’t go over well with the kid. This leads to Lucy telling Addy that the Zombies still have thoughts, and remember things like their names. Addy thinks the kid is making it up, but isn’t quite sure.

The really bad news? All this lollygagging gives The Man the time he needs to catch back up and take Lucy from Addy. This leads to another face off between Addy and The Man, and quite honestly, Addy is outmatched.

Addy Gets Another Beatdown

Addy ends up with what looks like a broken or dislocated arm and The Man gets away again with Lucy.

Once in the car the stress makes Lucy age again. The Man now has to deal with a moody teenager.

Back at the river, Addy is up, but she’s in a lot of pain. She is forced to put her shoulder back in the socket with a brutal smack into a tree.

While Addy is suffering, Doc is having a much better time, hallucinating about Back to the Future due to the high quality Z Weed Addy left for him.

While Addy is suffering, The Man is on a search for chocolate for Lucy, not quite realizing why its such a priority until she freaks out. She thinks she’s dying when she starts to, well, menstruate.

Lucy Is Growing Up

Emboldened by her realization that The Man is afraid of Zombies, Lucy steals The Man’s truck and makes her way out to the forest road to pick up Addy. Lucy thinks she killed the man when she ran him over, but he’s one tough b*stard and is just holding onto the bottom.

Once again The Man has Lucy and Addy is not looking too good.

Addy Takes A Beating But Refuses To Give Up

Duel ends with Addy stealing another truck and picking up Doc who is bicycling after her. He looks like he wants to cry when he sees how hurt she is but instead he gets in the truck so they can chase after Lucy together.

Duel Scoring

In the end, I totally guessed wrong. The Duel was between Addy and The Man, and she put up one hell of a fight. Duel scored a 90/100 and is Worth Your Time. It was non stop on the action front and had a ton of really good fight scenes. Even if Addy was getting her butt kicked in most of them.

Z Nation Season 3, Episode 12

The Siege of Murphytown opens with a picturesque image of Addy flying down a country road. She is hauling butt as she chases after the Man so she can rescue Lucy. It’s not long before she finds The Man’s car at a gas station surrounded by dead Zombies. She’s found the vehicle, but where are they?

Addy On The Open Road

Spoilers Below

Meanwhile Kaya is keeping on eye on Murphytown from Camp Northern Light. Meanwhile Citizen Z is heading south with Kaya’s grandfather Kaskae. As Kaya is monitoring Murphytown she confirms that Warren is onsite via facial recognition.

Warren’s Facial ID

Whatever 10K/Thomas’s mission is, he doesn’t make it very far before he’s captured by Warren. She’s on a mission to bring Murphy back into the fold. Once Warren’s got 10K/Thomas in her control she also finds the note that Murphy gave him. Murphy wants Warren, dead or alive. Just after Warren gives 10K another vaccine, hoping to free him if she can, Murphy shows up to talk.

Murphy Has The High Ground

Murphy has the Red Hand and Warren surrounded and outgunned. He’s willing to allow some of them to join him, or they can be his enemies. Murphy leaves, and takes 10K/Thomas with him. So is 10K fully under Murphy’s control or did the shot Warren give him free him?

Even after Murphy surprises them, Warren still moves forward with her assault. Murphy seems to know its coming. So why didn’t he just gun down Warren and the Red Hand?

While Warren is heading into Murphtown Kaya is able to get her attention. However she isn’t able to send any super helpful information before the communication is cut short.

Things get a little chaotic after that. 10K and the powerplant supervisor get attacked by the Red Hand. 10K only survives because Red shows up to drag him away. I honestly don’t know if its another 10K delusion or if she’s real this time.

Front Gate Distraction

After that, the Red Hand pulls off their “Front Gate Distraction”. This revolves around torturing one of the female blends by attaching her to a winch. The Red Hand is not letting her be rescued while the rest of the group opens up on Murphytown.

Murphy’s power stems from taking away his peoples fear. Its clear in the way that Murphy reacts that he’s losing that control.

Warren uses the distraction to sneak in and ends up coming face to face with one of Murphy’s first bite victims. Warren takes down the woman with a machete. This was honestly a little brutal. As the woman is dying, she tells Warren that Murphy loved her.

Murphy Loves You

The Red Hand is getting destroyed. There are just too many Murphy blends, and Zombies in the moat for them to carry the day. They do buy Warren the time she needs to confront Murphy though.

Red Is Real

While Warren is confronting Murphy, 10K confronts Dr. Sun Mei. We are then treated to a very touching moment between Red and 10K. 10K tells her that whenever he’s in trouble, a vision of her comes to try and save him, but she’s not real. Dr. Sun Mei sees her too, and that means Red is real!!!

Red Is Real!!!

Meanwhile Warren is confronting Murphy, and confirms what she suspected by holding out some yummy brains that he can’t resist. Warren has the drop on him at first, but with the Red Hand defeated, the rest of the Murphy Blends arrive to back Warren up.

Warren is saved from immediate danger when Citizen Z shows up with the message that The Man has Lucy.

Citizen Z lets Kaya know he’s safely at Murphyton and they are going to go after Lucy. Kaya then tells Citizen Z that she missed her period, which leads to an awesome Morse code code.

Citizen Z Is Going To Be A Daddy

I love Citizen Z’s reaction. He’s psyched to be a father and is going to come home to be with her.

The Siege of Murphytown ends with Addy still on The Man and Lucy’s trail. Lucy is helping by leaving Zombies to point the way.

The Siege of Murphytown Scoring

The Siege of Murphytown scored a 70/100. The main reason is this episode crossed over that line of being quirky and violent into being believable. When the Zombie Blend is screaming, being pulled back by the winch, her voice is really haunting. The terror in her voice was too real and seemed a little out of sync with the overall vibe of the series, so it cost it some points.
