Z Nation - Doc Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest - Review + POLL

Share on Reddit



In 'Doc Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' Z Nation returned to its brand of stupid, absurd fun that of which was lost in episodes prior.

Coming into this weeks show, expectations were higher than usual due to this being a Doc centric episode, and it sure as hell did not disappoint. Everything from Doc bull crapping his way out of the straight jacket by convincing the nurse he is a psychologist to his interactions with the over the top Elvis impersonator and all of his one liners, the whole 45 minutes was just a rollicking good time.

Aside from his humour, one of the strengths that Doc brings to the show is his friendship with 10K. Separating the two was part of the reason why the quality of the show dipped, as they play well off eachother and add a strong dynamic to the team. It was thus appropriate to have 10K show up at the hospital. Z Nation has rarely been about the character moments, but it was still hard not to rejoice when the two reunited and to also sympathize with the Doc as he sees his friend in the mental state he was in.

Some, if not most, would probably had found the Elvis impersonator annoying, but I personally thought he was hilarious, and to boot, they did not over use him. However, I hope this is the last we see of him, as too much of the character could get very tiresome.

Doc latching on to the Elvis references were just too funny, as well. Epecially when he would casually use it in conversation, such as when he said to the impersonator, "don't be cruel" or before they got on the bus, "Elvis has left the building." On another note, it was great to see Doc's very resourceful knowledge of all things drugs come in handy. The fact he knows so much was strangely hilarious.

Overall, this was a filler type of episode, but one that was desperately needed to inject life into the season. It looks like 10K will be back with the team in no time, and it was great to see Z Nation give him some time with his best friend before the inevitable reunion.

8/10
