Could the kid be written any worse ?
Omg that was ridiculous.
Yes it was, the whole I HATE YOU and the resulting reaction uggggh. That scene would have been better if it were Eichorest or Palmer/the master who set it off. A fit of rage in the worst child charachter ever in a tv series detonates a bomb and gets even more people killed who had survived up to that moment. I am curious how this will be revealed next season that Eph's son was responsible for foiling Setrakian's and the team's plan.
shareThe thing that makes it even funnier, is that the boy was who Eph risked that book for. Lol
the only other character that i've hated as much as Zach is Chris on FEAR THE WALKING DEAD. that's saying something because i HATED HATED Chris on that show thankfully he's been killed off. now if only that would be the case on STRAIN.
shareYeah, Chris was another one that got annoying to even watch. Out of these apocalyptic shows, Carl has been the only child charachter to eventually be tolerable to watch. I won't miss Chris from Fear
shareIt's ridiculous how he doesn't seem to understand ANYTHING.
They repeatedly tell him that's not his mother anymore, it's a monster using his mother's body and memories.
-He lets her into Fet's place, and she attacks Eph. He shouts "NO, STOP!" but Eph gets the upper hand and shoots at her, a kritter kid jumps in front and takes the shot, she escapes.
-They tell Zach not to be such a f^cking idiot and he says he understands, but of course he doesn't.
-Nora tries to protect Zach and get him to safety but they come across Kelly. Nora starts fighting with her and has the upper hand, but Zach shouts "NO, STOP!" and distracts her, allowing Kelly to kill her. Zach is fine with this and leaves with his vampire mother.
-At one point Zach asks his mom when he can see his father, clearly STILL NOT F^CKING GETTING IT, but apparently still wanting a relationship with Eph, which is odd because he's hated his father ever since the recasting.
-His vampire mother attacks his father, again, he shouts "NO, STOP!" and Eph finally defeats his vampire ex-wife. Eph, thinking he just rescued his son because Nora lied to him before she died, is glad to see his son but Zach detonates a nuke because he's a f^cking idiot.
Great synopsis! I agree 100% with your post. This child has been the cause of too many deaths and plans which went south quick. He just will never get it as you put it!
shareI haven't been able to stand Zach at all. Every time Eph wants him back, I'm just like, why? This kid is an idiot. Too bad he didn't blow himself up instead of the whole city.

I bet most of you didn't think he would do it, that he would just drop the trigger run to his father and cry it out. At least they did something unusual for once in an American TV show.
shareno huldu. the way the scene is filmed/directed, it seemed overtly clear that Zach was going to pull one of his douchey brat fits and press the trigger.
sharethis was star wars prequels anakin bad and not in a good way
ayy
you mean, could the show be written any worse?
everything about this show sucks
Yup, bad writing and character development. Zach was older and full of real conflict in the books. All of the characters are rather 2 dimensional. It's too bad as the complexity of the characters is an internal thing and would not have added to the budget or the running time of the episodes.

Well we're officially in uncharted territory now as far as most characters go. Which means that Zach might not even die at all as opposed to getting vaporized by the nuke in book 3.
Damn, and here I was looking forward to seeing him die at some stage.

Why are you replying to my post while quoting someone completely different? Are you cross-eyed? 😀
No wait, cross-fingered. 😁
I've hated that little bastard since day one.
Stay single and happy my friends
I've hated that brat since season 1 and don't understand why they have kept him since they are not following the books. The only reason I can think of is that the writers think keeping him alive will keep us watching in the hopes he will die.
That was just plain bad writing though. The kid hates his dad so he blows up the city. I was rolling my eyes by the time the mother died. I knew something bad was going to happen only unfortunately not to the people I wanted it to happen to: Eph and the Brat.
