Puppies and kittens...

I was watching a retrospective of The Walking Dead leading up to the season premiere, and Rick used that term to describe what the Walkers *aren't*... I never knew Z Nation got it from there.

Same here. I'm new to Z Nation. Just started watching over the summer. And I've heard a couple more shout outs too.

1: Puppies and Kittens TWD
2: during an Ep of Fear the Dead, a character asks to be shown mercy
3: during an Ep of ZN, a character used the term walkers

I think it is hella cool that the two series give acknowledgement of one another even though they are so different. Although I just say, I think I love ZN as much as I do TWD. I have 3 huge TWD tattoos, I think I may need a ZN tattoo also.

I was thinking to get a tattoo of the Zwacker, I just love Addy's weapon

Yeah, it's probably my favourite character weapon out of all the zombie shows. I'm not so sure about its new shocking ability, but it's still pretty damn cool.

In ep6, Doc is knocked over the head with a guitar, and gets back up, and then gets hit again. I couldn't help but think that was a subtle nod to Negan from TWD bashing people in the head with his bat. I know it's a stretch, but it is possible that Z Nation was referencing that.

I thought the ending of episode 7 was a nod to Merle Dixon on TWD. ;-)

They also referred to "some dirty guy with a crossbow" in an episode of Z Nation.

Literally noticed that too while watching TWD marathon and laughed.

Imagine how cool a crossover show would be. They could make TV history.

Hahaha can you imagine a conversation between Daryl and Murphy or Rick and Murphy. Or how about Eugene and Murphy? Nah Abraham and Murphy...too bad for that one. But I wonder how the others would go

I would PAY to see the interaction between the two leaders, Rick Grimes and Roberta Warren!! OMG, imagine those two comparing notes on survival in the ZA and connecting with each other over being in charge of stuff and thangs. Michonne would get jealous, LOL.

I'd personally prefer a crossover between Z Nation and iZombie, as they're both very comedic and I think the 2 casts would get along well. Not to mention that both those zombie shows are far superior to TWD in almost every single way. And I say that as a huge fan of TWD.

[–] Asquani 8 years ago

Hahahaha someone wants a start a "which show is better debate." There is no comparison between them because all three show are way different. I don't watch izombie so I can't compare that to anything but I like the other two in different ways for different reasons.

That would be the show of the century. They're probably never gonna do it, but I truly think the internet would explode. 
