There was apparently a bit of a kerfuffle last week when Kellita Smith, the actress who stars in SyFy’s Z Nation, told an interviewer that Spokane is “almost apocalyptic ready.”
You see, Z Nation—a zombie series so gloriously campy that it could only appear on the same network that gave us Sharknado, Sharknado 2: The Second One, and Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!—is filmed in Spokane. Smith was simply pointing out the benefits of working in an area in which you’re never lacking in post-apocalyptic settings.
That was how I took her comment, anyway. After all, I shot the above photo just a mile east of Gonzaga University—a 20-minute walk, fer cryin’ out loud. Others, however, took umbrage, predictably using social media to scold Smith for being, among other things, a “terrible person.” Yawn.
Here’s the thing, folks: Smith is not only babe-a-licious, she’s also right. And you know what? That’s not a bad thing.
