@NTA think I am upto ep 4 maybe?

As with most of this genre, it relies on stupid people.

Case in point, think ep 4

spoiler

Up to episode 8, the last episode. Enjoyed the first few but it's gotten quite frustrating as it has progressed.

The film/video style as @NTA described very aptly which I thought worked for a bit but then just got annoying. The individual story lines and surviving characters have now converged.

A little FYI, this series was originally meant to be a bit of a prequel to Z Nation - comes from the same team - but with less humour. There's also a bit of GoT about it in that many of the significant Characters haven't survived.

One thing, this series is about as humourless as it can be and they have now distanced themselves from the original premise and completely removed any ties to Z Nation. More of a straight forward Zombie series, not bad CGI and reasonable writing.

Some of the handheld shots get very stomach churning.

Will watch the last episode tonight.

I finished it last night, it was nothing like Z nation at all which was good . Liked that they weren’t afraid to kill off main characters.

Chubby bearded guy is a liability, he deserves to die.

Korean lady is an interesting idea.

The scene in the city square is great , really chaotic .

Would have liked to see more of the creepy kids .

Courtney lawes has now come to the defence of Billy Vunipola and to my mind makes the most sense of any of the shitlebrity tweets etc.

"I don’t have a faith like yourself my brother so I don’t share the same views in this matter but I do believe you should be able to voice your own opinions and beliefs as you see fit. To everyone getting worked up about these post I ask you if you don’t believe in the same things as them then what do these statements matter to you? Can we not disagree with someone without calling them a bigot or a homophobe or every other name under the sun?"

“And by the way If you’re going to say you’re accepting of everyone then be accepting of everyone, not just the people you agree with.”

Disagree 100%.

Foley is staying thst in his view, they are going to suffer in eternity. His view. He believes he’s going to paradise and non believers, who
Follow their own true feelings, will suffer eternally.

A sporting organization selling a product cannot carry this. Right to be sacked,

So you don’t believe in religious freedom?

I read it as less about religious freedom or freedom of speech and more about consequences.

So - are you ok with people holding that view, but not expressing it publicly?

Edit: because if you are, you're basically saying that athiests will be the first choice for rugby teams

If they don't express a view, then how do you know they hold it?

I think you are looking at two issues. Firstly Folau’s tweeted beliefs. They’re antediluvian but A) does it really matter if you don’t believe in his sky fairy and free speech and all that. Secondly, consequences of above ie does he deserve getting the elbow? I think he’s a dick on two counts, his views and his kicking Aussie Rugby in the balls but to me he can get sacked for the second but not the first. Lawes’ Tweeted defence of Vunipola echoes my views on this.

Fuck. Those two s were meant to be B in brackets.

@Salacious-Crumb

Yeah, it does shit me somewhat that the constant shouty name calling - racist, nazi, homophobe etc, just drowning out constructive debate is a blight on our times. That little wanker on the Guardian, Owen something. He’s a prime example.

@Bones @antipodean

Sounds like you both need to invest in the Wank Word Bingo game. Hours of fun, the respect of all your peers but usually a short career.

@jegga how can they be NAZI zombies if it is World War 1?

Yeah. No way that's based on a true story.

nice to see after Christchurch shootings that NZ news cycle has returned to normal. No, I did not doctor any of this news article from today.

That would irk me too. Christ, I've become old.

Of course you're old. You said "irk" whereas you would have said "that would piss me off too".

Old. You're old.
