Will Anyone Make It To California Alive?

In episode 4 "Full Metal Zombie" our rag tag group has their truck stolen by some hooligans. They are forced to all ride in the only transportation available-- a tiny Volkswagen bug. Too funny.

Zombie Clown Car

Later the previously mentioned hoolligans are harassing a family with two small children. Our crew tries to help only for the family to turn on them with some heavy firepower. But they dont get far. Zombies feast on them a little later.

Citizen Z continues to hang out in his Arctic fortress and pine for Addy. Apparently the internet still works even though there is no one to manage it. That's a good trick. The team contacts him through the hookup at a restaurant drivethrough. He sends them to a nearby base in VA where they can get a helicopter since the roads are far too dangerous. But as we've learned from most every zombie movie, some humans are more dangerous than the zombies.

You're Marshing My Mellow Man

They first encounter a drug addicted soldier who wont let them in. Then the general is more bat shit crazy than him. In the best scene of the episode, Doc ends up down an elevator shaft and trapped with a zombie (who was previously an obstetrician). Doc is freaking out. He first attempts to meditate but that doesnt work. He then finds a blunt in his pocket and smokes up. Meanwhile the zombie is inches away from him trying to gnaw off his face. Doc blows smoke into the zombies face. It seems to calm him down. Ladies and gentleman, we now have the cure the the zombie crisis. Get them all high. However when they get the muchies we're all screwed again.

We also see a flahback to 10K and his father. 10K promised he would kill him before he turned into a zombie. What a sad scene. We also learn that Doc had a son when he was 19. I'm sure we'll be seeing him later.

Morning Coffee

In "Home Sweet Zombie" the crew is in Illinois. They arrive at Warren's home town of Castle Point. She's not sure if her husband Antoine is still alive. They encounter a group of fireman zombies but Antoine is not among them. Murphy is starting the become more and more zombie-like all the time. He also shaves his head.

Where's A Good Zombie Therapist When You Need One?

Addy and Mack start to have sexy times but she is haunted by memories of "you know, zombies".

Incoming!

The best part of this episode was the zornado. I also liked the electric fence home security system. Zombies approach and then fry themselves. Warren bashes them in the head with a broom and then pushes them off. The sounds the zombies made when frying was hilarious. Too bad the electric fence only works if you have power.

We see flashes of other people listening to Citizen Z's broadcast to Addy and crew (so there are more people alive than I thought). Two people are hold up in Warren's house when they arrive. One is seriously injured. Doc relieves the swelling in his brain by using a drill. Ouch! Doc has watched a lot of "ER" on TV.

Everyone Survived The Zornado... Somehow

Warren refuses to go the basement when the storm approaches. She imagines seeing Antoine and says "I waited for you". Cassandra and 10K manage to survive the storm by hiding in a car. Murphy makes a connection with a zombie and cant kill it. Later he hugs him. That was a little freaky. Roberta miraculously survives the storm. Roberta and Charlie have a budding love connection since she's made peace with her husband. Later we see a zombie in the distance. I couldnt see his name tag but I assume it's Antoine.

Always Being Interrupted By Zombies

In "Resurrection Z" the group encounters the nut jobs of the New Resurrection Church. Instead of killing zombies, they worship them. Ok then. The zombies attack right in the middle of Garrett and Warren's sexy times.

You Sir Are A Dumbass

Our team looks like goners for sure when Murphy emerges saying his is the true Zombie Messiah and should be worshiped. In the commotion Garret jumps in front of Murphy and takes a bullet. He dies in Roberta's arms. He says "I love you" and she says the same. How sad. Later before they drive off, Roberta uses 10K's gun to give him mercy.

I Am Your Zombie Messiah. Bow Down And Worship Me!

In "Welcome to the Fu-Bar" the group is in Kansas. Warren is still reeling from Garrett's death. They happen upon a settlement that's having a shooting contest. The grand prize is a 50 caliber gun. Our team needs a new ride so 10K enters the contest (since they can trade for it).

Zombie Shooting Contest (& Potential 10K Love Interest)

There wasnt much of Addy and Mack in this episode. They were scouting on a motorcycle and ended up on a different road. Mack says their chances of survival are better on their own but Addy refuses to leave the group. She asks Mack how long it will be before he decides his chances are better without her too.

Murphy (who is becoming some sort of zombie/human hybrid) bites a guy. But the guy doesnt turn. Later the guy is shot and Murphy digs the bullet out of his body and swallows it. No sure what the significance of that was.

All the crazy shot angles in this episode were fun. My favorite was outhouse zombie. That's a bad way to go.

And as if the zornado wasnt enough, now they have to worry about a zunami (its a swarm of zombies). Before the contest can end the zombies attack. The ice cream truck driver is the first to go. 10K saves the life of his main competition's father. He then gives her his gun. For that she gives him a kiss on the cheek. Someone is smitten.

Roberta Trying To Drown Her Sorrows

Warren works out her emotions on the zombie bartender. He acts as a surrogate for Garrett. She says he gave her hope but thats what made him weak. She finally decides that she will find something to live for but it wont be as good as the reason he gave her (because she loved him). When the zombies attack she wipes out a large number of them single handedly. Doc says "you're looking better". Warren replies with "who's next". The team leaves but still dont know that Mack and Addy are on a different road.
