Fart.Bleed.Repeat. posted:Sounds great - is that from Asylum(?) that is known for their blatant ripoffs of blockbusters? Please be on Netflix This very show is produced by the Asylum. The Walking Deceased isn't though.

etalian posted:well Walking Dead achieved pop culture critical mass and also had the advantage of being based on a graphic novel Also if you tell the average person things like, "Well sometimes the episodes are based on movies, so like Budget Zombie Edge of Tomorrow and Budget Zombie Fury Road" might not be the selling point to them that it is to me.

Is Z-Nation good? Solo Murph.  Someone should totally edit that down to avatar size. My abilities end with what is here.

Klaus88 posted:I appreciate the ruthlessness with which Nation-Z resolves lingering plot lines. It is kind of amazing how this show handles the lot better than most. Like with Vasquez, some shows would have turned his acting suspicious into a 6 episode affair. Instead it is directly shown a couple times, and then this episode the whole group knows he has been acting weird, right before they then just make the reveal. Or how Cassandra's situation would have had a lot more 10K attraction weirdness very likely, and probably not had her stabbed to death in a relatively minor event. It is sad to see Pao go, but I think they wanted to emphasize that Murphy biting people does not save them, it just turns you into a puppet instead of a brain eater.

For kinda obscure, I liked when Sketchy talked about "I am an American" and then nodded to the cartel guy and said "Northern American". I've been in discussions with hispanic co-workers about how calling yourself "American" lays claim to a lot more than just the USA in many people's minds.

steinrokkan posted:Scorpio acted as a pretty interesting character during the court session, both impressed by Sketchy's bullshitting, and smart enough to see past it. I expected him to offer them freedom in exchange for working for the Zetas. I was surprised by Scorpio and I wonder if he's going to be a more interesting character than I first thought. He looks badass, and dresses sharp as hell so I love when he wanders up, but to have him act as a seemingly impartial judge actually surprised me. I am also fine with it just being a kind of one off thing to show the guy more, but it might actually be a character trait.

IRQ posted:Was the weirdo in this Adam Savage? Sure looked and sounded like him. Naw, but the similarity really is there. If you look in the backgrounds you can find, in addition to zombie film posters, other movies by the Asylum, such as Nazis at the Center of the Earth.

There were a TON of references this episode. More than usual it seems. "This is Unix! I know this!" was from Jurassic Park with the granddaughter. Men in Black agents were dead around future laser guns. Dan(a) Scully the skeptic. The general design of the alien suits is Xenomorph inspired. As others have said the intro feels like it is a reference but I wasn't placing it. The abduction light thing was definitely Fire in the Sky, although that general type of scene is pretty deeply ingrained in pop culture. The thing I hope they touch on more is that Dan was sent by the military to recover advanced tech, so the remnants of military/govt may still exist out there and are sending people out on missions.

seaborgium posted:Dumb in a good way though. Goddamnit I can't believe I care more about a cliffhanger on a Sy-Fy show of all things than something on AMC. Weird as gently caress. It helps that Z-Nation will absolutely kill off likable characters before people are tired of them. That and while there is a goofyness, characters are a lot smarter than in a lot of shows. I mean this episode had essentially expounded on the Mexican Death Cult Cartel who wants to rule the world. And it actually made some sense. I can't even imagine The Walking Dead and how they would have handled this. Also, I love that because of the huge gently caress off wall USA built, Mexico is actually handling the apocalypse pretty well.

I liked how in Doc's flashback they showed a zombie wander in out of focus in the background into Doc's office. Having that kind of internal consistency surprises me after having my expectations decimated by TWD. Have they had a single teleporting zombie yet? Although, I fully expect a show based specifically around teleporting zombies sooner or later. Also this is dumb but I only just realized it but Doc IS an actual doctor? They played that really coy the whole time, like it was a nickname.
