Maybe I'm misreading your post but this show happened in the past since the zombaby and Murphy's pet were in it. It shows how Zona got its start.

It really was a bad episode. Granted, I'm not looking for super-duper show quality stuff (I love the campy stuff such as the cheese wheel) but this was 1 hour too long. Did get a laugh with his plastic wrap bio suit.

And won't the Dr. start growing fungus?


maybe that was why he took off his helmet? He realized he was going to be taken and figured he'd get infected and then infect whomever was taking him or infect the other people they were kidnapping so they couldn't use them?

Not just not shooting the zombie handler first that was quite funny, then the entire group manages to live while manning the makeshift barricade, but all the town then gets wiped out when they go into the lab.

Would have to do research into the specifics, but there did seem to be a couple continuity errors with the flashback. Lack of Mack or the DEA being the main one.

Didn't they have one of these in the last season?

One cool weapon... (first seen in the trailer here https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/z-nation-season-3-premiere-on-friday-sept-16.2484875/) Though, I dunno how those spikes fit in that little ball.

Wouldn't Murphy have to run around biting everyone to create his Murphy race?

Seeing yesterday's episode, wow, I completely forgot what happened at the end of last season... Didn't remember the submarine at all.

I think last season the zombies were stuck in a giant wheel of cheese. these were just a bunch of zombies eating each other.

yeah, the grenade thing was cool but no idea how the spikes fit in there either. and then why the hell did the chinese dudes stop and look at it when it got thrown back at them? they knew what it was and did so they should have dove for cover! one of the dumbest things i have seen.

It was also odd how at first they were prisoners, yet, they gave them each upgraded weapons, but, where is the upgraded weapon for 10K, they couldn't possibly know he wasn't with them?

Oh, look at the pretty light!

They did kind of dove, just too late. The lieutenant actually kind of made it by dodging. You could say they were surprised it came back at them.

I thought the grenade was dumb. You have fully automatic weapons with silencers and large magazines to use against relatively slow targets...

I was watching that Walking Dead: The Journey So Far or whatever it was called and they played a scene from season 1 where Rick and Glen cover themselves in zombie blood and guts. During the scne people were grossed out and 1 of the characters says "just think of puppies and kittens". Just wondering if that is where Z Nation got the idea to call the zombies puppies and kittens?
