Ok, here we go. Last week our savior Morges (aka Morgan the new Moses) leads his people to the promised land of, wait for it, a roof of a derelict hospital surrounded by "Walkers". He gets poor Jimbo bit. Poor Jimbo, we hardly knew him. Haircut Swatwoman Videographer Al is stuck in the generator room, also surrounded by walkers. What a dilemma. Oh, my! Alyc and her adopted new little sister and killer of her brother and the pestilence that brought down her family, friends and home, Backstab Charlie, discover Dumb and Dumber, John the Cowboy and Victor the Drunk, on alligator island. Wacko Woman got shot in the heart without a bullet proof vest, but somehow managed to walk and drive away like it's just a paper cut. She's so tough her skin is thicker than the alligator threatening Dumb and Dumber.
At this point, the only reason to watch is to make fun of it, the unintended comedy. Hey, it has some entertainment value. It's just sad that rather than watching realistic people and situations thrown into a plague of dead people looking to kill and eat you, that we are left with this sad example of television.
Here we go. On the hospital rooftop, we have Morges, June, Lucy, Wheelchair, Truckes, and Dead-man-walking Jimbo. June again asks Morges to get them out of there. As I mentioned last week, all of these people except for maybe Jimbo have survived in the zombie apocalypse for at least 5 years and now they all turn to Morges, like he's their savior. Morges is depressed, and doesn't know what to do. June on the walky speaks to Alyc, now Morges has hope. Just like that. Morgy was all depressed, and now inspired, he gets the bright idea to leave the roof, because Alyc was contacted.
We see Wacko performing surgery on herself, a napkin. Let's just remember this woman got shot with a shotgun, which looks like a bulls eye on her heart, from our new friend Wheelchair. How is it possible this woman is not dead, let alone walking around, talking, breathing, etc? Filthy Woopy is tough, we get it.
Last week Backstab found Cowboy John's hat. She is now the new CORAL. Alyc and Backstab are looking for a boat to rescue Cowboy and Vic the Drunk. Cowboy is depressed and lovesick for June. We have to watch this 40 something idiot (calm down fans of John Dorie) moping around for love. Please consider your predicament. You're trapped on an island with a drunk, no way out, and a hungry alligator. Maybe think about survival first. Priorities! We are supposed to feel sorry for this dude? Why? Reversal of roles, Vic the drunk is now all hopeful and refers to Alyc possible forgiveness of Backstab. Cowboy is concerned about his wound, the one created by Alyc, is getting infected. Vic sacrifices and splashes some alcohol on Cowboys wound. These are some serious deep soap opera drama acting and dialogue nonsense. If it wasn't funny, I'd have to shut it off.
On the hospital roof, Jimbo climbs to the edge of the roof. Morges feels bad for Jimbo, and is concerned that he'll jump. Jimbo pisses on walkers and blames Morges for getting bit. They're all ready to leave the roof but Jimbo is going nowhere. Truckes asks for Jimbo's beer recipe, Jimbo tells her to go F herself.
Alyc and Backstab while looking for a boat, Wacko shoots at them before collapsing from the shotgun to the heart. Alyc and Backstab drive the SWAT van to alligator island to rescue Dumb and Dumber. So we are led to believe that Alyc and Backstab, stumbled onto Dumb and Dumber, and Wacko with a hole in her heart finds Alyc and Backstab and gets a couple of shots at them before collapsing. Realistically Wacko should be dead from Wheelchairs shotgun, and the Trucker Team would be in the Swat van with the non-bit Jimbo. Anyway.
At the hospital, the Morges team make it to Al's floor, and wouldn't you know it, a roof has conveniently collapsed blocking out the zombies. They make it to the generator room, but Al took off and left a note. Generators running low, Morges tells them to go downstairs and he'll go back to the roof to distract the walkers. Was Al's contract canceled? Where did she go? Is this another set up? What's going on? I'm so confused. Maybe she went to fix her hair.
Cowboy and June talk sweet nothings on the walkie. Cowboy fails to mention they have Wacko tied up.
June, Lucy, Wheelchair and Truckes are on the grounds of the hospital, but there are walkers behind a fence. Morges drops a walker on a car from the roof causing the car alarm to go off attracting the walkers from the fence. Apparently car and walkie talky batteries don't die. Trucker Team finds an ambulance. June like a dumbass waits for last minute talking with Morges before leaving. That was tense. Really thought she was a goner. No.
Love fest. Now we have a collage of the Z Team calling to save the savior Morges. They will rescue Morges from the roof. They somehow found a firetruck that's out of gas, but the hydraulic ladder is working. The ladder is too short. Morges finds some rope, put there by the production team, and climbs down to a lower level. A walker attacks Morges, but no problem, sharpshooter Cowboy takes care of the walker. So tense. Morges makes it to the top of the firetruck. Now Morges, June, Lucy, Cowboy, Drunk Vic and Truckes are trapped on top of the firetruck, surrounded by walkers. Wheelchair and Backstab are in the swat van with Wacko tied in the back, also surrounded by walkers. Jimbo, knowing that the end is near, now tells Truckes his beer recipe, and tells them he will throw himself on another car to set off the alarm to distract the walkers surrounding the firetruck. He does. Now, these "Walkers" may be on the same mentality as the "Writers" because rather than going after fresh meat on top of the firetruck and in the swat van, drop everything and go after the car alarm our beloved Beer Maker Jimbo has sacrificed to create.
Everybody is now in Al's Swat van, except for Al who's getting her hair done, and Wacko is gone. She apparently chewed off her arm to get away. Backstab is so concerned comes up with some garbage dialogue "She's hurt, we have to look for her" - Shut the hell up you Backstabbing Unapologetic moron of a character! A bit out of character coming from the person who shot Nick in cold blood. Yes, we're lead to believe there was a transformation. Morges' dialogue is a little better "We should get out of here". That's the best the writers could come up with. Truckes "What should we call Jimbo's beer?" "Yeah, ok we'll call it Jimbo's Beer" That's it. Morges says something about going to TWD. Amateur writing at its best. Not only do these idiots come up with idiot plots, the dialogue takes the cake.
Wacko finds dead Jimbo on top of the car. Jimbo Zombifies.
Ok, so what happened. Wacko is bullet proof, and Jimbo is her new walker buddy. The Z Team is back together, except for Al, who's having her hair done. Now what? More Wacko encounter, Al comes back, a day trip to TWD? Who knows. This episode unfortunate was not as funny. I don't enjoy the soap opera nonsense (example Cowboy and June lovefest, or Morges I can't/I can). Best part was Jimbo's dialogue of blaming Morges. That's it. All the rest of scenes of a magic fence blocking walkers, magic roof cave in blocking walkers, a magic fire truck ladder, a rope put there by the production team for Morges to climb, Jimbo's sacrifice, although noble, was another contrivance for distracting walkers from fresh meat to chase after a car alarm. Everyone has working walkies. Batteries don't die. Cars are readily available, with fresh batteries and gas.
As mentioned earlier, the only reason to watch is for the comedy, and for study of how stupid and low we have come in story-telling. I watched the episode. I read all the reviews. I make a judgement on plausibility. I'm not a professional writer or critic. But what I do require is realistic situations and consistent characters, within the context of the "Zombie Apocalypse". I ask, what would I do in that situation.
One more thing, the sound effect for the walker growling is stupid.
