Thank goodness for The Murphy as 10K really can't carry an episode by himself
Yep, 10K is a great character within the group, but awful outside of it.

Saying that within the group the only good characters other than Murphy are Doc and Roberta

Well, given the massive cast turnover, only five originals left and the fact the road movie element of it is now over, it is definitely losing its way.
Perhaps a thrid series was never thought likely. Still better than "zombie target practice" that is the depressingly grim Walking Dead.

I'm somewhat taken aback that Doc either has an actual qualification in serious brain diagnosery or of course might just be the world's greatest bluffer. Or he knows the name of what happens to people testing his stuff, or he used to work at the 'sweet shop' in such an establishment.

Thinking all the way back to the beginning, we saw him in an official office helping people, didn't we? Or was he the other side of the desk...?

In the penultimate episode of Season 2 there was a series of flashbacks to what everyone was doing on the first day of the zombie apocalypse.... Doc was a psychologist/addiction counsellor so he probably knew what he was talking about vis a vis the patients

Well remembered/found - I guessed completely wrong as to where in the series that episode was and it just didn't strike me as a fruitful thing to do a search for 'flashback' when trying to find out something about Doc other than e.g. everything since 1973

Really enjoying all the movie references in this series.

Almost too many to remember.

It is all as bonkers and entertaining as ever, I am waiting for The Man to reappear - plenty of unfinished business there I think.

I like the way they aren't afraid to acknowledge what's inspired a particular part of their writing, in the sense that they put up this massive signpost (e.g. episode title) saying 'we thought you would appreciate this one' and more importantly make the effort to get it to fit the show.

So who's saner, the residents or the survivors outside...?

Glad Citizen Z has got his Batcave back. Bit of a fish out of water without it. Good ep last night although getting the gang back together only to split them up again was slightly annoying.

I would've said that was a shark-jumping moment but with this show it's a hard accusation to level!

Given a choice between that and some 'song of the week' thing that seems to infect far too many shows, it wins hands down, plus it's important to establish a skill somewhere beyond "number one fan".

Opinion may change if they over-do it, we shall see...

Doc agrees with you.... he even told Roberta "I hate it when we split up" or wtte

Her uncle and grandmother are amusingly deadpan

Presumably the fact that The Murphy's skin is starting to return to it's natural colour is a side-effect of his eating brains??

I'm assuming that his zombie-ness is wearing off.......not sure why though

Is he still taking 'the medicine'?.......maybe he's becoming a blend but from the opposite direction

The way she was taking about Addy I think there's a possibility she may end up a bunny-boiler and attempt to grass up the team to The Man or Zona just so she can have Citizen Z to herself

People have already said but all hail to messianic Blue Bastard!

It's interesting - but I would hate for The Murphy to return to just plain Murphy - he is such a cracking character.

Loved his scenes with The Man last night - I think Roberta et al are going to find him a far, far tougher proposition than before and so they bloody should - he is a post apocalyptic God after all!

Before he became The Murphy Keith Allan appeared in two zombie films that he co-wrote with one of the staff writers on Z Nation
