Meet Z NATION‘s “Doctor of the Dead” in their action-packed Season 1 finale! That’s right, the big wrap-up to a year of new zombie TV excitement shares OUR show name, and the Doctor himself (no, not that one, THIS one) joins Scott in a BUMPER length episode to chat about this wonderful coincidence as well as how far Z NATIONhas come in just 13 episodes. Will a detour to Colorado spell the end of our little survivors’ group? Will any of them make it out alive from the ‘Hall of Horrors?’ Will we ever see Mack and Addy again? And will Murphy emerge as the King of the Zombies at last?

ALSO: Your listener letters and comments! Discussion of the live tweeting that took place when the show aired! And news on Arnold’s forthcoming appearance at WALKER STALKER CON NY/NJ!

But will Rick’s plan to kill or be killed encounter resistance from within his own ranks? Say it isn’t so, Daryl! What would Carol and Beth think?

Carol feels “Consumed,” and as she and Daryl make their way into a post-apocalyptic Atlanta, they must decide not only how to survive but also if they’re still who they are, who they want to be, or just ashes.

The “Self Help” section just isn’t enough when you’re facing a zombie apocalypse, but if you’re taking a scientist to DC to save the world, it could provide cover for some much needed rest (or…). Abraham is about to learn, however, that you can’t trust anyone in a world of THE WALKING DEAD.

Also this episode: Mack and Addy are trapped in a hellish loop that can only be broken when a dark truth is revealed in Z NATION: “Die, Zombie, Die…Again!”

(and yes, that question mark is supposed to be there!)

“Slabtown” once stood where Grady Memorial Hospital now does, but the moral questions are still there as a group of survivors struggle to maintain their own sense of order in a city long since lost to the THE WALKING DEAD. When Beth awakens in this place, will it be a new home or a new prison? Join Arnold and Scott as they fill a tray with extra guinea pig and chat about the latest episode: What was good, what wasn’t so good, and what sort of grade does the Doctor think the episode deserves?
