Wasn't the main plot of Znation "we have someone who carries a cure, we need to get them to >insert government location or top secret lab location here<

It didn't look very good to me, sounds like I'm glad I passed on it.

The thing I like about TWD is that other than Eugene's claim of a cure it doesn't really deal with why the ZA happened, nor is it concerned with fixing it. The show just simply shows how people react to the reality of it.

That was the general concept of Z Nation, yes. At least for the first few episodes.

Kirkman has stated that he has no interest in investigating the cause or the cure. He was unhappy with that portion of S1. He feels that locked him into some facts that he does not necessarily want to adhere to. However, it looks like Fear will deal with, at least in a peripheral manner, some of these themes. We will haveto see

Anybody watching? It feels different and yet similar to the Walking Dead if that makes sense. I'm digging this.

I liked it. Not sure how good it will be but I know it will creep me out much more than TWD. Unknown dangers, mass panic, and societal breakdowns are scary.

Figure I'd give this a bump. What did you guys think of the season opener?

Wasn't terrible but not really what I expected. Looks like next week will be much better.

Well I definitely didn't expect this season opener to be like Season 5 (which was insane). I was happy with the set up moving forward and am curious about what's going to happen next episode.

Positive note: Carl didn't get much screentime.

Negative note: Carl didn't die.

Overall it was ok.. nice setup for the rest of the show. Thankfully the guy who started whining non-stop in the beginning died.

The more he whined the more I knew he was going to die. I can't see Carl in many more episodes moving forward. And if there is a story line involving him, hopefully its a quick ending. I gotta think he's the next major character to have a send off.....

I liked it a lot. I was worried at first with the b&w and time jumps but they kept it together and interesting.
