Nat Zang behind the scenes 10 year anniversary post.

10 years ago, Z Nation aired, and while we're sad that it ended after 5 seasons, we still laugh that there are 69 total episodes to an LBGTQ TV series disguised as a Zombie Apocalypse.

Again - so funny that the one scene where Nat's prop gun jams is the one used in the episode, and there's his goofy face, trying to figure out how to make it work, rather than paying attention - used on a "Worldwide Digital" announcement

I sit with my grief. I mother it. I hold its small, hot hand. I don’t say, shhh. I don’t say, it's okay. I wait until it is done having feelings. Then we stand and we go wash the dishes.

Various David Bowie and Queen albums were on heavy rotation in the Z Nation makeup trailer for pre-6am starts.

Later in the day, there would be lots of Indie “AND” bands - Florence & The Machine, Noah and The Whale, Judah and The Lion, Mumford & Sons.

First time I heard Cage the Elephant was sitting next to Gracie Gillam who shouted “TURN THIS ONE UP!!”

It's so hard to hear about famous authors who got bad reviews. Like if they had to hear that I can't imagine how I would get ripped apart. I don't know what my question is but I thought maybe you'd have an answer 💙

32 years later, more and more people know and love Good Omens all around the world, and I’m happily making more of it, so as reviews go, it makes me wonder how badly the poor reviewer hated the English, and whether it might have been possible for the NYT to have found a reviewer who liked funny English books to review a funny English book, but it doesn’t rip me apart. It just makes me happy that my reaction to most bad reviews over the years has been to shrug and to write the next thing.

Having said that, we took a quote from this review – from the bit that goes “Good Omens” is a direct descendant of “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy,” a vastly overpraised book or radio program or industry or something that became quite popular in Britain a decade ago when it became apparent that Margaret Thatcher would be in office for some time and that laughs were going to be hard to come by.

Just as Douglas Adams worked his joke to death by juxtaposing the tedious lives of ordinary people with events of cosmic significance, so Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, two former journalists, go on and on for 354 pages with their schoolboy wisecracks about Good, Evil, the Meaning of Life and people who drink Perrier.

and put “A direct descendant of ’‘The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy,’” The New York Times on the front of the paperback and undoubtedly sold a lot of copies.

So, yes. bad reviews happen. That’s because different people like different things. That’s not actually a problem, it’s what allows us all to have books and shows we love without having to love them all, and it’s what allows creative people to make a living. The important thing is to keep on creating.
