    Tremendous writing and directing

    This in my opinion is the best episode of the entire series. Lots of action with some very tense moments. The lightning and makeup were spot on and the abandoned apartment building was a perfect location to film. The usual funny side of the main characters gave way to a serious side in which they all shined.

    A glimpse of Black Summer

    The constantly-shifting perspectives, tense close-quarters moments (like Mack/Murphy hiding in closets), lack of music or dialog, sniper standoff, and tense atmosphere of this episode reminds me of any episode of Black Summer. It's clear to see this episode is the inspiration for the whole series. The crew was obviously showing they could pull off zombie drama well while still keeping their comedic style. When I try to explain this show to anyone, one of the examples I use is the part with Doc and the bookshelf as an example of the wackiness they can expect.

    Watching Black Summer and going back through this series to see this episode is a treat.

    Citizen Z's Effect

    In Cheyenne, groups of bounty hunters are chasing Murphy everywhere. The survivors decide to split to find Murphy and escort him to the CDC. Warren is saved by Vasquez and they team-up. Doc and 10k stay together protecting from a sniper while Mack and Addy are trapped by zombies in a building. When they finally capture Murphy, one member of the group has died. Who might be?

    "White Light" is an episode where the situation of Murphy is chaotic, surrounded by bounty hunters. He has become the reason for the group of survivors still exists and causes the death of a member. But it seems that Vasquez will join the group. My vote is seven.

    Title (Brazil): "White Light"

    The perfect Zombie episode

    Who cares whether you're into the gothic, the survivalist or the camp. This episode delivers for all Zombie fans regardless.

    A tight story, expertly directed and wrapped around characters seasoned over the last 14 episodes creates an excitement filled episode with tension, fear, loss and even a few moments of deliciously black humour.

    Pretty much perfect TV as far as fans of all things zombie are concerned.

    Oh, and Murphy and Cassandra for prom Z-king and Z-queen! ('shippers are all already over this!)

    Masterful

    This feels like a ww2 film with zombies. Very well shot and directed. Possibly my favorite zombie episode of any series and the best of this show.
