I do wonder if this new syfy channel zombie show will be the anti-Walking Dead and not take itself so seriously. I envision an audience wanting to embrace a zombie series that is playful and fun but smart enough not to totally alienate people watching with enough intelligence to desire some storytelling to go with their gory violence and undead walking the earth. I plan to watch Z-Nation and find out. This is syfy's chance to try their own hand at tackling zombies and how humanity deals with them. I'm curious as to what direction these writers plan to go with zombies as opposed to The Walking Dead. I just hope the show doesn't fall prey to the stoopids, though. I think they can make their show just as exciting if not quite as impressive effects wise (I still believe lots of dependency will rely on CGI). I am also curious to see if this show will avoid mimicking other works and follow their own path. What I don't want is the show being constantly mocked as a WD wannabe and instead feels like a different alternative. You can watch the guys over at AMC or come over here and see what we have for you at syfy. I do figure because of the Sharknado shits that have populated syfy and given the channel such a woe-is-me Z-movie credo if Z-Nation will be considered such an example even before it premiers. I'm anticipating it still, for whatever reason. Those of us not hesitant to give it a shot will see, I guess.
