Nice to see after 3 eps that Zach, who caused a nuclear apocalypse is coping well. Only seems to be a bit 'lonely'. Really? Come on...

he clearly has empathy issues. Maybe he is on the spectrum

Wow didn't realise until someone pointed out Old Walder Frey from Game of Thrones is the same guy who plays Strakian.

He's also Argus Filch in the Harry Potter movies too.

Also played Dr Who in the drama about the first Dr and how the show came about.

Good episode

Zach still being a little **** as usual! LOL

Jonny2284 · 21 Aug 2017 at 19:35

So few episodes left and I still don't think I have the will to finish, everything is just so bad and everyone is acting so ****ing stupid because it's the only way the plot can keep moving.

Been with the show from the start, it has its moments but yeah am glad its the last season, tbh if the nuke went off and destroyed the world it would not have mattered cos zach would have been dead.

WTF Zach? Saw his crush kissing some dude so death by vampire monster child for you. Think that was more harsh than detonating a nuke last series.

just saw - according to below strain series 4 will not be available in the UK - I assume the above should be flagged as US spoilers

That's exactly what I thought. Surely the "You do whatever I want, whenever I want, or I'll feed you to my weird pet spider-child thing" option would've been more beneficial.

That was a good episode, didn't have Zach in it as well.

jpaul · 2 Sep 2017 at 22:24

catching up - S4 is great, pity it is the last :
loving the double act between F & Q with Q's dry humour

Q resist the tempation to read anything into the fact I saved you AGAIN
F I will

F: Did I just hear a compliment in there -
Q yes I like to give one every hundred years

F she saved our asses
Q no you did by leaving her behind

It is impressive what Guillermo del Toro can do with a limited budget, I think there is some commonality between his and George A. Romero's style (RIP)

Guillermo should be directing the Alien franchise, he has not lost his edge like Scott.

Bar that unexplained escape, last two episodes have been decent.

R.I.P. professor

Kainz · 6 Sep 2017 at 08:21

I actually came back for the last two episodes after hearing about a certain two characters in the show. The last two were definitely decent episodes. Bit sad though :/

=XDC=FluphyBunny · 6 Sep 2017 at 09:33

Enjoyed this until season 3 which was just awful so I stopped watching it. Having skim read this and other threads I made the right decision. Just shockingly bad writing in Season 3, it makes The Zoo look like quality drama

Jonny2284 · 11 Sep 2017 at 10:45

Ok, credit where it's due. I fully expected everyone to be an idiot this episode and they showed a worrying amount of intelligence.

Same he was one of my favourite characters in the series.

Where as Zack, can someone tell me why one of the others not take him out. He is a mass murderer. He almost reached Jofferey level of dislike.

Stopped watching this after first episode this season. To be honest I think after the first season it really went down hill. That boy Zack, so annoying, just couldn't watch anymore.
