Discusión Z Nation

Writers are lazy people. They find a formula and use it over and over again.
They must create conflict in the stories to hold our interest. But they do it in the dumbest ways. One way to get the audience involved in the show is to put main characters in danger continually. I am rewatching an early episode in season 2 currently. Citizen Z put out an alert on "the Murphy" which caused bands of bounty hunters to search for Murphy. In one sequence the group met a man with a transfer truck all tricked out with armor and a cow catcher plow rigged to the front. The group was stationed on the tracker trailer and in several vehicles in a convoy. They were attacked by a few people on motorcycles. None of them could manage to shoot anyone on a motorcycle, not even 10K, the crack shot with his rifle. When the motorcycles (some were quadracycles) came up on a car carrying Doc and some other feckless pussy they took no action against them, other than when Doc fired once and missed. Have you noticed that Doc never shoots anyone? He kills Zs sometimes, but never people. When he shoots at people his gun is frequently empty, and he says "OH MAN" and throws the empty gun at them, (as he did with "the man" and with that sniper in the hotel room). When the cycles pulled alongside the car, the driver could have swerved and run them off the road, but did nothing but watch them jump on the hood and trunk of the car. Then Doc points his pistol at the man on the trunk, just feet away from him. But he doesn't shoot. He just looks at him. Then the guy crawls on the roof of the car, and Doc looks up at the roof of the car, but never shoots.
Later we see Doc and the driver sitting on the side of the road. The cyclist passengers had stolen the car. HA.

These sequences are supposed to make the viewers worry about Doc and the others, but it is such a joke. Anybody could have bumped off those cyclists, but not Doc and the idiot driving that car. We know Doc won't get the job done, and he won't really get hurt. We couldn't care less, we already know about how it will work out. Doc will be out of ammo and say "Oh Man" or something like that. (It must be in his contract that he never shoots anyone or something.) And the good thing they thought they had going will fall through. Or Murphy blows it because he thinks only of himself. What direction do they screw? Up. Always up.

Or how many times will they have the gang tell each other they are "low on ammo" and then stand up and fire long bursts on full auto without hitting anyone. Then they shout to each other, "Damn, I'm out". "Damn, me too". Yeah, no shit. These shticks are getting so old.

They need to come up with something new. It's too predictable, and not really funny anymore.
