    Z Nation - review.

    If you have not see the series or missed a couple of episodes and plan to catch-up, stop now or risk minor spoilers.

    As expected it took two or three episodes for actors, writers, directors and so-on to gain their footing. As a spin-off from The Walking Dead, I expected a crossover episode. However, I was not disappointed a crossover failed to occur. The show stands on its own.

    Thought I was shooting holes in some the events until I thought deeper about it. Was Citizen Z broadcasting his music and message on AM / FM radio or Satellite radio? Local ground based radio stations would lack power, so it would have to be Satellite radio...

    Remaining members of the group are split-up.

    Murphy continues to "change". He did have a passing romantic encounter that resulted in pregnancy. The group was forced to flee. He does not know about the pending birth of his child... What will the child be like?

    Series pokes fun at a Zombie Apocalypse:

    They did encounter a group of zombies on drugs like painkillers, speed and yes - Viagra. Doc or someone in the group stated, "How is that even possible?" Which leads open the question: Are zombies able to breed?

    I have theory: When zombies are lacking a food supply the virus will start consuming their host body. The host body is simply a means of travel and if unable to locate human flesh to eat and process for nourishment, the virus will start consuming the host body until fresh meat is found.

    Last episode offered a teasing glimpse as too whom started the Zombie Apocalypse.

    Season One left us gazing skyward...

    At this point, I plan to continue watching it.

    As far as The Walking Dead - I am out of touch with it, a couple seasons behind. No local video rental stores nearby... Bummer...

    The Giver


    Enjoyed the film and give it a solid five stars. With Jeff Bridges as a driving force it was eighteen years in the making. Hop skipping through special features is worth it. Film is based on a novel by Lois Lowry. For many middle school children the book is required reading. In the special features is a "study guide" for teachers. Clearly, film makers intended for it to be used in classes. Four books in the series, hope the other three make onto film.

    Good seeing more and more films based on novels...

    Watched a "B" SciFi movie last night.
    "Dyatlov Pass Incident".
    Fictional story kind of like. Blair Witch Project Mocumentary.
    Young filmmakers go to Pass to make follow up film about the famous incident from 50 years ago.
    Passable entertainment.
    worth a rent, but wouldn't buy.

    Rumors of War


    I think it was produced by a Christian film company. Have not seen it, but it is on my list of films to watch.

    Lot of "B" SciFi films show up on Hulu or Amazon Prime as free. Will keep an eye for it.

    Considering it is a christian film, it has a good production value. I thought the director did a very good job of contrasting the future with the past flashbacks. To show how the philosophy espoused is both flawed and evil.

    The future depicted in the film reminded me of what I heard the ET's describing as a future. The backdrop is eerily accurate. The only thing from the film that is missing are the head honchos.

    The 25min mark is especially interesting in the back and forth speech.
    At 55min there is the charismatic leader who (I have to admit) does a good speech.
    At the 1 hour mark, the story reveals the false flag attacks that is the excuse to further an agenda.

    Agreed, they are issuing a warning. I will try and watch it before this year expires.
