A decent finale, the best episode of the season without doubt, but it still falls short somewhat. The positives first - It was good to finally see Travis "hulk out", after a season of blind optimism and bad decisions G.I. Joe paid for it by getting his face pummelled in. Poor soul. All this only hours after being tortured by the Demon Barber. The horde invading the Hospital was well executed, and there was a nice nod to Romero with the helicopter decapitation scene. Strand has potential and the promise of a huge yacht in season two is interesting. Hopefully they give a nod to Zombie Flesh Eaters and treat us to a zombie attacking a shark :D The negatives - After a promising start to the season Madison is now insufferable. Kim Dickens' lack of facial expressions almost destroyed the finale, even when confronted with a giant horde of flesh eating zombies she looked like was suffering from nothing more than the need to squeeze out a stubborn fart. She had this expression in every perilous scene. HELP ISN'T COMING "I need to fart" / YOUR SON IS TRAPPED BEHIND A LOCKED DOOR AND ABOUT TO BE ZOMBIE NOSH "I need to fart" / THERE'S THOUSAND OF THE INFECTED BREAKING THROUGH THE FENCE "Damn, this fart won't pop".
Daniel The Demon Barber's decision to release THOUSANDS OF ZOMBIES is the worst plan in history. He did this to save about 3 people. Aside from his torturous hobbies, he seemed the most intelligent character in the show, and this decision was hideously stupid. Almost as stupid as Alicia, and that's saying something.
Nobody is reacting in a believable way to their plight. After fighting their way through a zombie army, they're seen chilling at a beach house, where two of the characters (yes Thick As A Brick Alicia & Whining Chris) are chuckling away on the veranda eating ice lollies. At least Travis, for all his faults decided to go Drama Queen on everyone's ass when his ex-wife died and recreated Charlton Heston's sand-sinking scene from the end of The Planet Of The Apes. I only wish he'd shouted "I DID IT! I SHOT HER UP!" I'll forgive Thick As A Brick Alicia this time though, she was probably still too busy wondering if Randy Wagstaff From The Wire had recovered from his "cold" yet, coz she loves him like cray.
Travis is so deep in denial he genuinely thought anti-biotics could save Liza. This was taking his "Everything's going to be alright" mantra to the max, and was the funniest scene in the whole season. In safer times I bet he had poor Nick drowning in Tylenol in an attempt to cure his heroin habit.
Travis sinks into Rainbows & Fluffy Kittens mode again and releases Andy, who promptly shows up at the Hospital mid-zombie attack. But Andy decided to shoot Ofelia instead of his nemesis Daniel. Huh? Damn I know she was a bit of a tease but that's an extreme reaction bro.
Nick gets philosophical and compares the Zombie Apocalypse to his heroin experiences. I can totally see the connection to be fair. Shambling around, teeth falling out, bad hair everywhere, faint smell of excrement. Dude's a poet.
Extra negative points for not bringing Tobias back for the finale. I wanted to see him raise hell with his pocket knife.
This season was far from perfect, it was average with a few excellent moments, but hopefully they can iron out the rough spots ready for season two and I for one will be watching.
