S05.E06: Limbo


Recommended Posts

Murphy and Doc together are fun.  Nice to have Addy back and the whole group together, though I wish Addy would get the hair out of her face.  I wonder if some weird Z Nation-y thing happened in that section of her face because she lost her eye? 

I was thinking of how damn skinny Murphy is and then realized that I appreciate that Roberta, George and Addy are all strong and physically fit; they look like women who can smash zombie heads in. 

I gotta admit I'm not super interested in whatever's going on in Altura with Dante being hauled back there.  I just want our group to stay together, have adventures, be snarky and do dumb shit, as Doc says.

Z Nation has done a great job with having strong female characters who are not cardboard cutouts or stereotypes. Every character, male and female, are well drawn and performed. That can't be easy with a long-running show and shifting cast. I like how the characters can be mixed and matched depending on the needs of the episode. I do prefer having the entire team together and not separated. 

I look at this season as a bridge season. It's setting up a potential Season 6 while closing some loose ends from past seasons. OBM is in need of another all-consuming mission. There was "get Murphy to Cali", "Find Lucy" and "stop the Black Rainbow." Helping to establish a permanent and safe settlement seems too tame a task or purpose for OBM. Like Addy says, she needs a new mission. What will be the next big mission? There has to be one coming.

Sounds like Estes was sent to build a secondary colony for Zona. That's why he was able to quickly create the setup (energy, protection) that he has at Altura. I wonder if his original goal was to create a home base for Zona's future expansion. With Zona's destruction and Black Rainbow, his plans have changed. The Talkers have changed the winning equation. So, the talkers had to go and George's efforts of a mixed society had to be discredited. 

Next episode: Operation Bite Mark goes nuclear on Altura! And it's onward to the Biscuit Bakery.
