Can somebody tell me what time the program starts?
I can do the time zone math if I know what zone you
are in. Thanks.

[SMGFan]

9pm this evening on AMC. Now 3:20 pm

[Sivad]

Thanks, FRiend!

[bitt]

the last few episodes were very confusing. Any else think so?

[Engedi]

For me as well.

[GreyFriar]

next season will feature a group of zombie Chinese chefs who make all the meals in Chinese woks. They will be known as the Woking dead.

I honestly forgot that the premier was on tonight and would have missed it, thanks for the ping!!

[SMGFan]

They tried new ways to tell stories.

Like ‘in media res’. ( that is a joke)
Different tints, killing off most of the original remaining cast.

Really had to start with a plane crash?

[Marcella]

You sound like a neat guy to know.
People should be like Morgan, helping others when he can.

The symbol Al found ... same as the one on the helicopter that took Rick away. Interesting.

[Oshkalaboomboom]

They should name the uncharted territory Boring Land. I had forgotten how tedious this show was and I’m only halfway through the premiere.

So boring. This show peaked in season 3 with the storyline about the ranch and the Indian tribe. That was the best. All the good characters are gone now.

Nothing else on I let it run and was pleasantly surprised. Start with a plane crash with zombies thinking lunch is served. All the "heroes" have their favorite weapon - one girl had the sharpened blade from an industrial fan doing the job supremely well. The group wanted to get somewhere but Max Headroom (Matt Frewer) told them to piss off, having his own clique of badasses.

I generally only watch 'Z Nation' as it provides the humor this worn-out genre lacks. Fifty zombies stuck together rolling down a hill like a runaway cheese wheel...with complaining! But I have to admit these actors have good script, are enthusiastic and they're show moves far faster than 'Walking Dead'.

[Marcella]

Thanks for that, did not notice it.
