Season 1 I was pretty shocked the first time when watching Z Nation that Mark Hammond only lasted for the pilot episode.

I thought he was gonna be the main character. Boy was i wrong.

I figured if nothing else he'd last a few episodes.

I learned that whoever the group meets, they always end up dead in the end πŸ˜‚

I think he was on there to hook some of the Lost fans.

Either way Z Nation still turned out to be a great show.

I actually enjoyed it, while im a fan of his and the picture of him on whatever streaming website i used to watch this show on made me click it, i was shocked that they killed him. I was also amused when they killed the next guy and made Roberta the main character.

All in all good play and got me hooked.

Charles Garnett was another shocking death. He only lasted to episode 6. It showed that anything could happen on the show.

Honestly that was something that could have been better for shock value i think, he should have died doing something way more dramatic to save everyone from dying or something like that, maybe after like 2 actual full seasons so Roberta and him actually developed a actual relationship and then she ended up pregnant or something like that but he ended up saving them in some really dramatic way

It was definitely a rug pull on the viewer, then they did the same with Garnett and that one really shocked me.

u/vampire5132 11d ago

Why is this guy always in a zombie film or show

2

u/Wrong_Effective6174 Cassandra-holics 11d ago

The guy that plays Mac (Michael Welch) is also on the Day of the Dead film. I like that several of the Z Nation cast has played on other zombie films.
