"Better weird than dead, kid." #ZNation #EerieIndiana

— William Arthur (@Wart_M) December 1, 2018

Actual line of dialogue. From the character who might have heard it directly from Marshall and/or Simon. (Evidence they survived at least 'til Black Summer?) #ZNation #EerieIndiana

Though I think in an apocalypse situation you can be both weird and dead. #eerieindiana #bringbackeerie #znation

This sounds JUST like the "bite the hand that feeds us" chant from "The Retainer" #ZNation #EerieIndiana @UnrealKarl

I need to watch z nation. Wouldn’t it be cool if Iggy was really a brain washed Simon?

— Kristina Stancil, MH (@kstancil13) November 24, 2018

I love that idea! I think Simon Holmes definitely needs to enter the #ZNation universe in some form

— Rebel Scum 🏳️‍🌈 (@deifire) November 24, 2018

Preferably a form that is alive. Or at least talking #ZNation #EerieIndiana #BringBackSimon

— Rebel Scum 🏳️‍🌈 (@deifire) November 24, 2018

I know Iggy lived because @justinshenkarow said so

— Kristina Stancil, MH (@kstancil13) November 25, 2018

Would that not be the greatest flashback episode ever?! #ZNation #EerieIndiana https://t.co/tfze4Hjd8p

— Rebel Scum 🏳️‍🌈 (@deifire) November 24, 2018

Consider: Marshall and Simon could have been old enough to party at the time!

— Rebel Scum 🏳️‍🌈 (@deifire) November 24, 2018

Todd was there

— William Arthur (@Wart_M) November 24, 2018

Todd is the inspiration behind 10Ks whole look

MELANIE THREW THE PARTY

— William Arthur (@Wart_M) November 24, 2018

I want to see Melanie Monroe + ZWeed so much all of a sudden!

— Rebel Scum 🏳️‍🌈 (@deifire) November 24, 2018

I firmly believe that somewhere in the vast #ZNation/#EerieIndiana multiverse, Melanie Monroe is out there kicking ass and killing Zs and also totally hooked up with Addy at least once

Bigfoot’s not real. #znation https://t.co/I98zk9s8Nj

Marshall Teller has some broken plaster casts of footprints that beg to differ #EerieIndiana

— William Arthur (@Wart_M) November 24, 2018

my brain, 34 minutes into this episode: wait. this guy's last name is Teller...

Happy that #ZNation is invited to this party -- but even more happy that our showrunner, Karl Schaefer @UnrealKarl has three shows on this list. WOW! Congrats Karl! @syfy @theasylumcc @JodiBinstock https://t.co/ThHrRzfcMe

It is no easy feat for a television series to maintain a fandom (and time slot) for four seasons, especially when you’re a show that takes such creative risks as rolling a giant cheese wheel over a group of bloodthirsty zombies. And yet therein lies the genius behind Syfy’s genre mashup “Z Nation,” a post-apocalyptic episodic adventure that is often compared to “The Walking Dead” but is more closely related to “Gremlins” or “Young Frankenstein.” Yes, there is a group of humanity’s leftovers, wily in their ways, attempting to survive a never-ending army of the undead, but they’re doing it with punchlines and visual gags, making the journey more about escapism than realism.

With season 4 set to drag more rotting corpses into your homes starting on Friday, we sat down with series co-creator and showrunner Karl Schaefer to discuss how we’re all in on the “Z Nation” joke, the Spokane experience, and why he considers the show do-it-yourself filmmaking.

TrunkSpace: Prior to “Z Nation” you had a hand in the creation and development of a number of cable shows that sort of got the entire cable world rolling – “Eerie, Indiana,” “The Dead Zone,” and “Eureka,” to name a few. Now that everyone wants to be in cable, does it kind of feel like, “Hey, this is my turf!”
Schaefer: (Laughter) I wish it was my turf. My turf is pretty big at the moment. What is there, 400 something scripted TV shows now?

I’m glad to be working. We’re having a lot of fun up here. We’ve kind of hit that sweet spot where we’re pretty much left alone. We’re just getting to make a crazy zombie show. They give us money to make a crazy zombie show, nobody bothers us, and people like it. I’m gonna hang in here as long as I can. It seems like a pretty sweet place to be.

The Eerie, Indiana screening in Manchester is one week away, and I need your help, Eerie fans! What should I wear to this, surely the social event of the year? How shall I accessorize? To blunder here is to spend an eternity mired in sartorial regret,and so I turn to you to narrow down my list of options.

I've divided them into three sections: necklaces, brooches and pins, on the basis that I can wear a bunch of different pins and at least a couple of brooches, but only one necklace.

Before we begin the winnowing, though, lets take a moment to be sad that since this takes place in mid-August, I won't get the chance to show off the awesome doorknob scarf eviinsanemonkey made me, or the Loyal Order of Corn hat by LizzyLittleFish. To make up for it, here they are being modelled by by a rainbow sheep:

Per SyFy.com:

SYFY’s bonkers zombie series Z Nation is returning for a hotly anticipated fourth season on Friday and the first trailer has finally made its way online. Prepare for a “New 'do. New life. Bigger Balls.”

Season 4 looks to bring back the series’ trademark humor in spades (Zombie Ball!) as it kicks off with a twisty time jump. The 13-episode fourth season sees Murphy (Allan) and Warren (Smith) alive and kicking in Zona, the “zombie-free playground for billionaires,” while the rest of the gang are facing off against the mutated Z Virus and the unkillable “MAD-Z’s.”

Produced by The Asylum, Z Nation hails from co-creators Craig Engler and Karl Schaefer (who also serves as showrunner) and stars Kellita Smith, Keith Allan, DJ Qualls, Anastasia Baranova, Russell Hodgkinson, Nat Zang, Joseph Gatt, Emilio Rivera, and Matt Cedeño.

Propelling Season 4 forward is Warren’s fiery dream of a “black rainbow and flesh-eating black rain” that looks to make the old Zompocalypse feel like a cakewalk. The gang will also be facing off with Jugalo zombies and searching for the zombified President of the United States. Now, doesn’t all this sound like sweet, Z Nation music to your ears?
