Episode 108 - Need a Hand?

With so many things to watch, the Z-Realm only glances briefly at the latest episode of AMC's Fear the Walking Dead.  The crew of the Abigail continue their journey, which we find out is to Mexico, and the webisodes titled "Flight 462" is rammed together with the main storyline in this episode...kinda.  After dispensing with the happenings on that show, we turn our attention to the hotly-anticipated return of HBO's Game of Thrones and we spoil it like a warm carton of month-old milk.  Did we like it? Did we love it?  Tune in and find out for yourself.  We also speak briefly about the untimely passing of a true genius, Prince, who left us this week. For someone with such tiny feet, I feel certain that his footsteps will never be filled.

Season 2 of AMC's Fear the Walking Dead continues this week with it's second episode, in which the crew of the Abigail encounter a small group of survivors at a lonely ranger station. The family of the remaining ranger, who are living behind a wall of chain-link fences are happy to find other survivors but something is not quite right.

Episode 106 - Mercy Quota

Now that season 6 of The Walking Dead has run its course, it's time for the Z-Realm Podcast to take its usual post-season hiatus. Time to kick back and reflect. Maybe take a relaxing cruise. But wait, what's that emerging from the mist of ham-fisted plot devices? Why, it's the premier of season 2 of Fear the Walking Dead, and it offers us that unheard of opportunity to tour the zombie apocalypse from the comfort of a luxuriously appointed yacht. We've got water desalination capabilities, fishing gear, sonar, auto-pilot and enough fuel for a long voyage. What could possibly go wrong? Oh, right. Two angsty teenagers who will find a way to make the worst of any situation. Send your thoughts to mail@z-realm.com or post a message on our Facebook page.

Episode 105 - It's All Over

Season 6 of AMC's The Walking Dead has concluded and we gather together to talk about what transpired and about the conspicuous lack of a certain tidbit of information that all the viewers were anticipating but which we were denied.  We finally meet Negan, as portrayed by Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and he is indeed a presence.  His lengthy introductory monologue sets up his character and the final episode of the season really tells a lot about the capabilities of his people.  Our faithful band of survivors truly do seem to have met their match.  We talk about various other developments in our lives and other media that we've consumed in the past couple of weeks and we look forward to the return of Fear the Walking Dead which starts its second season next week.
