Welcome back to the Eerie, Indiana 2017 rewatch. This Friday, give your dog the side-eye and pray that doorknobs will be enough to save us. Ladies and gentlemen, keep the Canine Arrest Team on speed-dial, because it's time to watch... The Retainer!

Z Nation is one of my very favorites ever, though I was not expecting it to break my heart as much as it has.

I was really not expecting to realize I ship who I ship after the end of last season.

[froodle]

10K/Murphy? Please don't make me be the only one...

[deifire]

Warren/Murphy (though I can definitely get behind 10K/Murphy, too, especially after last season!)

Part of me is still going, "Seriously, self?! Warren deserves so much better, and Addy is right there (though I still kinda ship her with the woman from Corporate Retreat still and can only hope they meet up again in a future episode which would also have Iggy)..."

But yet

[froodle]

Warren does deserve so much better, but also Hector is dead so now she may never love again. ;_;

(Hahah i just remembered when Addy had that super pointless boyfriend that had like, no personality and no purpose except being Addys boyfriend.)

Gosh i hope we see right again.

[deifire]

And dying. That was a very important thing for him to do in this story.

Alas, when I look for Z Nation fic, the only pairing with an even somewhat substantial amount of fic seems to be 10K/reader. Which is...not a genre I get.

[froodle]

Even then it was mostly an excuse to give Addy the sads and free her up to make eyes at Corporate Retreat Lady.

Oh my god the 10K dating self inserts whaaaaat. I read the summaries and I get second hand embarrassment sweats.

[deifire]

Yeah. I'm probably offering Z Nation for Yuletide and I'm thinking about offering every character except 10K, just to avoid that kind of request. I mean, I can write pairings that I don't personally ship, that one's waaay outside my comfort zone.

[froodle]

That's a good way of avoiding it, just take the option out before you're out in the position of saying "no i will not write a porny choose your own adventure fic". Like, I don't wanna seem judgey... But I'm judgey.

[deifire]

I should not judge, given that my prompts for Yuletide so far involve:
-the ship where half of the pairing is of indeterminate species
-the ship where half of the pairing is the zombie messiah
-the ship where everybody in the OT3 is dead (before they meet)
-the ship where half of the pairing is Randall Flagg

But I'll probably leave 10k to somebody who can do a potential /reader prompt justice. Too bad; I like the kid.

[froodle]

Okay, now I'm really curious about the all-dead ot3, because I thought about it and can't think who it is.

And also is randall Flagg walter/the man in black from the Dark Tower film? Because I approve of that ship without having ever read a single book in the series.

Yeah, shine on you crazy diamond 10k/reader shippers. Just... Shine away from me.

[deifire]

Have you seen The Good Place yet? 'Cause if not, I think you would really like it!

Yep, I came out of the movie shipping them like crazy. So I'm for sure making a Dark Tower request.

Just saw the Z Nation premiere and did a rambling, real-time reaction post on DW because I could not with Twitter today.

[froodle]

I havent, but it sounds amazing! Also why do I constantly miss stuff Kristen bell does that I would love but never hear about til later? I only just discovered Veronica Mars.

I love how much ham matthew mcconaughey ate in that film. Like he was full panto villian, he may as well have had fights and curly mustachioes and I love it.
