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.
4th of July 2025 Marathoning
McDowell and Comi prepare to leave for Mars. Aliens visiting the UN, dropping off their cook book, providing goodies for humans on Earth, easing them into trusting them, spiriting them away to be food for them on their home planet. To Serve Man is nearly 60 years ago. I've been watching Twilight Zone since I was a teenager in the mid 90s thanks to Sci Fi Channel. Many of my family have passed since (for instance, my mother's siblings are all about gone except one last sister), and it wouldn't be right to avoid a marathon during the 4th if just for nostalgic reasons. Syfy didn't see the value of TZ on Independence Day, except last year, so even though I cannot watch episodes like I do during New Year's Eve and Day, it is nice to try and sneak in a block of episodes whenever possible. I started with Death Ship from the fourth season, continuing with Stopover in a Quiet Town and The Gift . To Serve Man would feel like a later afternoon watch but SYFY showed it at 3:...
