Looks like production moved to Vancouver from Louisiana judging by all the trees. And they also replaced the house cat leopard stand-in with some seriously bottom barrel CGI. This show just never disappoints.

I will say once again that I despise networks opening a season with two episodes back to back. It's usually tough enough sitting through one hour of a show like Zoo, but two hours is like walking through glass on bare feet.
I'm not really digging the mutated human story-line. I did like the gigantic vultures dragging bodies back to the forest.

Yeah, I really hope they don't turn this into a 'rage zombie' show.

I've been enjoying it as a completely mindless CBS series. They've mastered the art of empty, light action shows. This is one show where you have to understand that the writers are definitely making Zoo with a wink to the audience.
It's enjoyable enough if you take it as an out-and-out parody of normal network television.

Did they just kill off Chloe!? I didn't think much of Chloe confessing her love at the time but that is always the impending death signal.
I'm not sure I'll keep watching if she's actually dead.

And I am out, she's been written off the show. Zoo was absolutely mindless junk but they just killed off the show's original female lead for the introduction of a replacement female lead character never mentioned before.
CBS keeps churning out the dumbest summer programming possible.

Yeah, killing off Chloe was a real WTF? moment for me. It seemed really stilted to kill off a main character and then just slide in a replacement character not 2 minutes later. And I like Joanne Kelly--I was a big Warehouse 13 fan--but this feels like a good stepping out point so I am done with this, too. It was fun to watch and ridicule, but there's too much stuff out there to watch that's actually good.

First they come up with a triple helix and now the ghost gene isn't long enough to code more than a few amino acids. Ugh.

ZOO, last summer's #2 scripted series, returns for its third season on Thursday, June 29 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT). In season three, the year is 2027 and the world has reached a tipping point: as the human population continues to dwindle due to the sterility problem, an equally devastating threat rises in the form of "the hybrids," an army of unstoppable lab-made creatures, hell-bent on destroying Mankind. ZOO, based on the #1 bestselling novel by James Patterson, stars James Wolk, Kristen Connolly, Billy Burke, Nonso Anozie, Alyssa Diaz, Josh Salatin and Gracie Dzienny. Jeff Pinker, Josh Appelbaum, Andre Nemec, Scott Rosenberg, Michael Katleman, James Patterson, Bill Robinson, Leopoldo Gout and Steve Bowen are executive producers for CBS Television Studios.

You mean to tell me animals banding together to fight humanity wasn't a "tipping point"?

I am not sure how the writer's table conversations actually go, but I kind of picture them sitting around thinking "now how do we one up animals banding together to destroy humanity?" " Oh I know. What about humans going sterile and being hunted by an army of lab-made mutants?!" "Best show ever!"

Did they ever bring back the French woman? I dropped the show after her sudden death.
