The Walking Dead, Season 2, Episode 2

January 28, 2021May 7, 2023 Leave a comment

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Walking Dead, Season 2, Episode 1

January 26, 2021May 7, 2023 Leave a comment

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.

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.

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.

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.

Carl’s Questionable Decisions

Season 2, Episode 1, What Lies Ahead (29:15) – Carl scavenges a bag of edged weapons from a car without any adult supervision. Sure it turned out to be someone who was dead dead, but he had no idea.
Season 2, Episode 6, Secrets(7:45) – Carl gets caught with a revolver he stole from the RV. I get the motivation, but he should have asked first.
Season 2, Episode 11, Judge, Jury, Executioner(10:35) – Carl decides he should approach the prisoner in the barn and chat with him.
Season 2, Episode 11, Judge, Jury, Executioner(19:35) – Carl steels a 45 from Daryl’s motorcycle. Haven’t we been down this gun path before?

Z Nation Season 3, Episode 14

January 23, 2021May 7, 2023 Leave a comment

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.

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.

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.

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.

Zombie Undead (2010)

January 17, 2021April 18, 2023 Leave a comment

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.

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

January 16, 2021May 7, 2023 Leave a comment

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.

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.

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.

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

January 14, 2021May 7, 2023 Leave a comment

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?

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Z Nation Season 3, Episode 11

Doc’s Angels opens with Kaya watching Enders killing Zombies as she eats some snacks. Citizen Z comes over and comments on how empty the world seems. This leads to a touching moment where Kaya takes his hand and he presses it to his lips.

Kaya Giving Citizen Z Some Emotional Support

We then cut over to Doc who is moving across open ground until he sees what looks like a castle in the background. As eh walks he is listening to a strange radio broadcast on his handheld.

Doc’s not very into the ground when he encounters what appear to be Bedazzled Zombies. Not only do they sparkle, but they also add some armor, because Doc’s handgun doesn’t do much damage.

The Zombies corner Doc and wound him, but thankfully don’t manage to get a bite in. When Doc wakes up he’s been bandaged and dressed in clean clothes, and there are three woman watching him sleep.

The three seem nice as they put balm on his wounds and give him a back massage. They even do his hair up in a nice man bun. At least they seem nice until he tries to use their radio. It doesn’t matter though, they cut the radio wire under the desk.

With the radio not working the women feed Doc. As he eats they tell him that they set up the whole compound on their own. The women seem to be in competition for Doc’s attention. Then the bald girl steps it up by rubbing his inner thigh with her foot.

Doc gets to see just how crazy the women are when its time to feed their pets. As the girls are working with their pets Doc almost gets eaten. Thanks to his quick reflexes he takes out the sparkling Zombie instead.

Doc’s Fast On His Feet

As the girls entertain Doc, he starts to realize that he should get moving. But they offer him some weed which distracts him from his original thought. When he goes to bed he gets three visits. The first two are openly flirty while the bald woman is scary flirty, bringing Doc a sword. In the end, Doc gives in to temptation, and wakes up the next morning after what I can only assume is an exhausting night.

Doc apparently wore the girls out because he’s the first one up in the morning and discovers the radio’s transmission wire is cut just before the girls find him.

As he’s fleeing he realizes the girls have been using humans to make “art”. They have a row of skulls and couches and lamp shades made out of leather, human leather. The girls did tell him they make everything locally. As Doc flees he finds the torture dungeon, or as doc says, the Hobby Lobby of hell.

With their secret known, the girls put on their gimp masks and confront Doc as he comes out of the basement.

Doc is getting his *ss kicked until the other dungeon prisoners come to his rescue. The distraction gives Doc a chance to get back to the radio. He tells Citizen Z that Lucy is alive but captive. It is up to Citizen Z to get the message to Warren.

The girls break into the radio room before Doc can tell Citizen Z where he is but Doc has escaped up the radio tower, treed by the girls and their pet Zombies. Doc just barely escapes by using the towers height to drop him over the fence when it collapses.

Doc’s Angels ends with Doc fleeing back across open ground before we cut over to Kaya telling Citizen Z that she cracked the encrypted sat phone transmission they picked up earlier. They know where The Man is going to be after he called for a helicopter to pick him and Lucy up. Now Citizen Z and Kaya just need to get the information to Warren so she can do something about it.

Doc’s Angels Scoring

Doc’s Angels wasn’t really about the Zombies, so I have to give it a 70/100, even though it was all about Doc, who is one of my favorites.

Things I Loved About This Episode

The creepy music really set the mood throughout the episode.
Doc’s Bedazzled Zombie Kill.
Doc talking about how 10K is the closest thing he has to a son. It was a one liner, but it was very touching.
The crazy girl talking about Columbian neck ties and her third husband, which was pre Zombie. I loved the look of worry and fear on Doc’s face as he realized she was nuts.
Rabbit Milk – “I milked it myself.”
The girls putting Doc’s beard hair in their book.

Z Nation Season 3, Episode 10

They Grow Up So Quickly picks up with Doc and Addy being captured by Lucy’s wardens. Lucky for Doc and Addy the kid is bored and wants some new people to play with.

While Doc and Addy are captured, Murphy is facing off with 10K. Murphy is upset with the fact that 10K doesn’t seem quite as into being a blend compared to the others. He wants 10K to be his champion, to stop fighting Murphy’s control. Murphy thinks if he can give 10K a new mission, and a new name, 10K just might come to his side. All this is going down as Murphy has a letter opener in 10K’s hand. The scene ends with Murphy forcing 10K to bring the letter open down violently. We just don’t know quite where yet.

What’s The Password

Back at Lucy’s Addy and Doc are tied up and being questioned.

This leads to Doc and Addy trying to talk their way out of trouble. They just have to convince the Lucy and her babysitters that Murphy sent them to get his little girl. During questioning, we find out that Lucy can control the blends just like Murphy can. When Doc and Addy are challenged for the password that Murphy was supposed to send they can’t do it. Doc is about to have his throat cut when Lucy commands her warden’s to let Doc and Addy live. She wants to play with them. Which leads to Lucy introducing her two new buddies to her other friends.

While Doc and Addy get to play hide and seek with Lucy we find out that so far 10K is still unwounded. At least for a little while. Murphy has renamed 10K to “Thomas” and makes him do the Knife Game. This is where you splay your fingers and touch the knife to the table between them as fast as you dare. Some people call it the Knife Game but my personal favorite name is Five Finger Fillet. Murphy makes 10K play until his hand is cut up a bit before being convinced that 10K/Thomas is ready to be told his new mission.

Back at Lucy’s Doc was forced to kill one of Lucy’s plaything Zombies before it bit him, which leads to Lucy having a fit and running off. She has apparently never seen a dead Zombie before.

Addy Versus Ender

While Lucy is out in the wild, away from the relative safety of her homestead she encounters an Ender and Lucy can’t figure out why the Zombie won’t listen to her commands. She doesn’t seem to understand that even though the Ender looks like a Zombie, its just a human who has reverted to savagery. Lucky for Lucy, Addy is there to kick some Ender butt, earning Lucy’s trust in the process.

Back at Murphytown 10K/Thomas has received his new mission and a test. Murphy offers 10K/Thomas a syringe, telling him it will set him free, but 10K/Thomas doesn’t take it, apparently proving to Murphy that he wants to be a blend still?

Back at Lucy’s house, the kid is excited to hear Doc and Addy tell her about her mother and father, which leads to Lucy asking some fun questions.

In the end Doc ends up telling Lucy about the blueberry pie episode in a round about way, which leads Lucy to the conclusion that she’s blue because of those blueberries.

The Man

Things look like they are going to turn out for Doc and Addy up until The Man shows up with a new mechanical hand, on a mission to get Lucy. When Doc goes to collect Lucy’s wardens The Man uses the distraction to steel the kid. Wounded, but not down for the count, Lucy’s wardens turn on Doc, which leads to a kill with flare.

Zombie Kill With Flare

Doc is able to take out one, but Addy has to save him from the female warden with a gnome statue.

Meanwhile The Man is dealing with Lucy in the car, which starts with a game of a hundred questions. The Man tries to use his taser to shut her up, but she’s not a normal kid.

When Lucy tells The Man she wants Addy, he freaks and tells her that Addy is Dead. This results in Lucy having a screaming fit, which causes Murphy to wake with a scream. When The Man puts a hood on Lucy’s head, Murphy suffers from the same panicked suffocation she does.

By the time The Man takes the hood off of Lucy she’s aged by several years – which goes back to a statement her wardens had said earlier. When she’s stressed she ages faster.

Meanwhile Doc and Addy have split up. Addy is taking the motorcycle to chase down The Man while Doc is going to try and reach Warren or Citizen Z.

They Grow Up So Quickly ends with 10K/Thomas walking out of Murphy’s headquarters, his rifle on his back. We don’t know what his mission is yet, but clearly 10K/Thomas is on it.

They Grow Up So Quickly Scoring

I’m going to give They Grow Up So Quickly an 85/100. There wasn’t a ton of Zombie violence but Doc is one of my favorite characters and he played a huge part of this episode, including an awesome Zombie Kill.

Things I Loved About This Episode

The interplay between Doc and Addy when they are trying to fake Murphy’s password.
Doc telling Lucy the story of her mom meeting Murphy. There were some awesome flashbacks to previous episodes here.
Doc’s Zombie Flare Kill was just awesome.

Z Nation Season 3, Episode 9

January 8, 2021May 7, 2023 Leave a comment

Heart of Darkness opens with Citizen Z and Kaya back on the air, calling out to anyone, everyone. But especially the Operation Bite Mark team. As Kaya in the Skya is speaking, her broadcast is interrupted. Overpowered by a stronger signal. Murphy has just gone on the air, announcing he has the Zombie vaccine.

As Murphy is putting out his message Warren sneaks into Murphytown. She tries to snatch him while he’s vulnerable (pooping) but is thwarted by Zombies. The miss forces Warren to realize she needs help. No matter where it might come from. Regardless of what Hector advises, Warren is going to try and get some questionable help. She wants to get the imposter EScorpion and his Red Hand band to help them.

The Red Hand

As Team Warren is looking for the Red Hand they encounter a car full of car thieves the Red Hand “punished” before running into Hopper. Hopper is willing to take them to the Red Hand. He says he doesn’t work for them, he’s just their drug dealer, but he seems very sketchy to me.

Hopper leads Warren, Hector, and Dr. Sun Mei into the sewers under Seattle. As they walk deeper into the darkness they hear what they think are rats. But when they shine their lights on the walls they see its Zombie Hands, still crawling about. Maybe searching for their bodies.

As Team Warren delves deeper into Seattle’s underground, Murphy is trying to bribe 10K with more vaccine, claiming it will free 10K from his control. 10K refuses, not willing to give up Warren. 10K is led away to do manual labor as punishment. Shortly after, Citizen Z tries to reach out to Murphy, having tracked him down because of his broadcast. Murphy doesn’t want anything to do with Operation Bite Mark.

The Seattle Underground

In Seattle’s underground, we get a taste of how crazy the Red Hand is. They’ve rigged up barbed wire and some electric to put the “Guilty” to death. At least whomever the Red Hand says are guilty. We then get to meet the new EScorpion.

Javier Vasquez, the DEA agent whose wife and child were killed by Hector, the real EScorpion, has apparently lost his mind. He appears to think he really is EScorpion.

It seems like Warren might be reaching Javier but once she says his name he get’s pissed. He has her thrown into the lockup like Hector and Dr. Sun Mei.

Things take a strange turn after Warren gets put in the same cell as Hector. He chokes her out and disappears. Why did he choke her out if he could escape?

When Javier has Warren and Dr. Sun Mei brought to him Hector attacks, trying to take out Javier. Hector ends up being subdued by Red Hand men, which gives Hector the chance to remind Javier who both of them are. With the pain of his wife and child’s death thrown up in his face by Hector, Javier has his men let Hector loose so he can kill him in a “fair” fight.

Hector get’s stabbed multiple times before Warren steps in, putting a machete through Javier before taking his head, putting him out of his misery. The king is dead, long live the king. With Javier/EScorpion dead, the Read Hand apparently falls into Warren’s control. Or at least it looks that way by the trucks we see rolling out, presumably to go after warren.

The end of the episode has two major revelations. The first is that Doc and Addy have found Lucy, and she looks older than she should be.

We see one of Lucy’s warders shoot a double barrel before the scene cuts back to Hectors body on the floor. Which leads us to the final revelation of the episode as his eyes open, tinged with yellow.

Heart of Darkness Scoring

Heart of Darkness scored a 70/100, mainly due to its lack of any significant Zombie violence.

Election Day starts with a nice squish as we see several survivors rolling down the road in an RV and taking out several Zombies in the process.

RV Versus Zombies

Presidential Motorcade

After we see the Zombies lose to the RV, we cut over to Doc and 10K, stranded on the side of the road, at least until the Presidential Motorcade comes rolling along.

Or if it’s not the president, it is at least Sketchy and Skeezy, and they have stolen Clinton’s limo from his presidential museum and are using it, combined with a few new dance partners, to grift what they can from survivors.

Dance party

While Sketchy and Skeezy are running their con, a young woman comes up, begging for help. Her husband and a bunch of other survivors are sick. Sketchy ignores her, but Doc offers to take a look, even if there isn’t much he can do. The sick all have strange yellow streaking through their eyes.

As Sketchy & Skeezy deal with their presidential competition, we see the RV from the opening scenes approaching town from one direction as a small horde comes in from the other.

The Debate

The Zombies arrive just in time to interfere with Skeezy’s presidential debate which leads to a presidential zombie hunt, which of course means Addy had to step in to save the day.

Hammer Time

As Addy kicks some Zombie *ss Doc has found the source of the yellow eye disease. The filter on the town’s reservoir had a Zombie head in it. Lucky for the town’s survivors, Doc watched some Naked & Afraid before the apocalypse and shows the town’s mayor how to fix it using charcoal.

We then find out who the men in the RV are. They’ve been scammed by the fake presidents and want some revenge.

Election Day ends with Doc and Addy using the chaos to escape in the stolen presidential limo. It’s time for them to get back to their main mission of finding Lucy.
