Warning: Spoilers
Just make stuff up. That's what writers do. But there are differences in quality from good writers and bad writers. Here we have bad writing. Our Heroes, led by Morgy and his Helper Mentality, are stranded in the middle of Camel Dick Point Texas. As another reviewer mentioned, pick a point on a map and just head there, expending all your resources and when you get there, just give up. Rather than going back to the mill or Dan's warehouse, Cowboy John's great idea was to head to the middle of nowhere. What about food, water, deodorant? Forgetaboutit.

So, Morgy calls Virginia and hands his people into slavery. That happened in the first few minutes of arriving at Cowboy's dumb town. Seasoned survivors? Not here. Here we have losers. People that would have been killed off the first day of the zombie apocalypse. Scraface Dwight bailed out real quick. What a bunch of losers. Scarface finds a horses and brings them back to Morgy. Oh, now they decide to clear the town and find water and food. How about someone calling Virg back to tell her the party is off? No.

Well, they decide to use the horses to lead the zombies towards Virg, then call it off because Lucy is with them. Nonsense. We have some fake out nonsense of Scraface on horseback being attacked by zombies. Glen Dumpster. Carefully listen to the Spaghetti Western tunes. I had flashbacks of Bonanza.

Meanwhile at the cleared town, we have Alyc and Wes, wait for it, painting beautiful pictures on a barn. What nonsense. If that's not enough we have a formal wedding of Cowboy John and June, Backstab Charlie playing Deliverance on the Banjo. These people are supposed to be hungry, tired, drained emotionally and physically, but they have time for a wedding scene. Give me a break. Please, no more cartoon logic.

So, Virg shows up and everybody has to be split up. Cowboy and June are split, tons of I love you. Charlie is split from Dan. Dan is split from Scratchems. Wheelchair is split from Truckes. Morgy is left behind with Virg. Virg shoots him, while he slaps her face with his stick. He's all messed up. But I would have like to see Virg losing an eye and her cheekbone opened up. No such luck. Her gun fell from her hand, she picks up a toy gun and as she tells him "I Hate Your Face" the toy gun just shoots dust. Virg gets a call from the Doc who took Grace, only 10 minutes before! It appears that Grace is not radiated but is pregnant from a one night stand. What a diagnosis? While traveling in a truck. So stupid and so convoluted. Virg leaves Morgy to die. He's on the walky with his speeching while zombies approach. Fade to black.

Now let me guess what will happen next season. Scarface Dwight's wife Sherry or Honey or whateverhernameis will save Morgy, so we can have more of his speeches.

A better scenario would be if they spend half of the first episode showing Morgy fighting and being eaten alive. A half hour of Morgy slow burn gore. I think we deserve it.

It's a disgrace to humanity to insult the intelligence of the viewer. Maybe the writers think if they throw in a bunch of fx and zombies it will just cover up for their illogical scenes and characters without integrity. Only reason to watch this is for comedy. No comedy tonight. Just stupid.
