Z Nation Season 4


And we are back with more episodes of mayhem and destruction. Gunfire and melee damage, vehicle chases and utter mania. Yes another season of chaos ensues those interested but I must put the following warning out yet again. There will be spoilers. For those still unable or not aware of Seasons 1 through 3, this will be major reveals. For those staying on, the last two years got a bit crazy. This is Z Nation Season 4.




Remember indoor plumbing?  Ah, memories.
















Okay first batch of spoilers, guest stars include Michael Ferryman of The Hills Have Eyes 1,2 and the remake. Also fitting in this alumni the one and only Henry Rollins of Black Flag, Henry Rollins Band, Johnny Mnemonic and Bad Boys II.

We last left everyone, a saucer from Zona (Yes, I mean a flying saucer or anti-gravity based vehicle not relying on fossil fuels) was trying to abduct Murphy's daughter, Lucy (Tara Holt of Californication, The Lookalike, Marauders, Darkness Rising and Z Nation) who was aging at an accelerated rate. From a month old to a teenager in less than a year. Addy and Lucy are on the road, helping humans and fending off zombies. 10K, Doc and Red (Natalie Jongjaroenlarp of April '86, Z Nation and Criminal Minds) are joined with a convoy to Newmerica, a refuge in the Canadian border as it is too chilly for zombies. But now then they'll be in Canada. So um, is that better?

Warren has been in a coma for 2 years after being shot with a bullet covered in Murphy's blood. And she's blonde... eh it works. Zona is this utopia island with no zombies and elitist white folk. Yeah, that's always a good thing when the upper 1% are still in charge.
The vaccine from Murphy's blood has...had side effects and the inhabitants of Zona have had a change of heart....and minds. Yeah they've gone completely batshit crazy, along with their own paramilitary, vehicles, ammo and supplies. One would almost conclude that Murphy's blood didn't help these people one wit.


Okay ma'am, one more Black Flag song and then perimeter sweep.
















With the last Remanent of the US military and government, a settlement is being equipped to regroup, restock and retake the country back from the zeds, Enders and hopefully the Zona nutter butters. Warren is packing a Ruger .45 and a shield she made out of a Route 66 sign. Those shield bashes alone makes me vouch for first female Captain America. Really want to see what she could do with Cap's old shield.

Murphy is being a dick as per usual, Doc is ever the flaky hippy only with hammers and a decent shot now. 10K seems to be back to himself again and he and Red are, well pretty tight.

Warren however is not just a protector but has gone predator. Stronger, faster and more a force of nature, with a connection with Lucy on a psychic level and sense the zombies, blends (human zombie hybrid) and Mad Zs. With Newmerica being North, Warren is headed East. Oh, wait a moment, I forgot our other residing factor, the zombies.



Oh Canadaaaaaa OMG!!!
















Which seem to be more durable, stronger and a straight-up double tap to the coconut is not no longer viable. As many of you now, viral strains vary and mutate and the Z virus is no exception to that rule. Confused?   Standard Zs still traipsing about but an Ender (feral human) goes zombie, they tend to make this near impervious zed.   Referred as Mad Zs and brother they are skibbling along on a near Godmode.   Gonna take the equivalency of a boomstick to the coconut to blow that head clean off. So unless you are traipsing through the woods with a modified 50 round Saiga full auto shotgun or a Spas 20, you be boned.  Maybe a decent claymore or tsurugi (Japanese sword, katana is named for the blade itself like a razor blade so katana/gatana or sori) and some good upper body strength.

Not forgetting some nuclear fallout, weather conditions altering because of such, freak tornadoes and hell, probably giant, radioactive bird poop from the sky.  8 years in the apocalypse has taught this band anything, nothing is absolute.

Feel free for any suggestions of later film, TV or video game reviews, folks. I'm out.




Stop staring down my dress.  Sheesh.  Pigs.
