Friday night on Z Nation Season 1 Episode 3, survivors encountered a group of psycho outlaws as they made their way through the City of Brotherly Love. Needless to say, this stop in Philadelphia was one they would soon regret. Watch Z Nation Season 1 Episode 3 Online While Cassandra’s old group wants her back in the fold, she’s ditched them. Tobias has lost his mind, and the Black Summer appears to be to blame.

Meanwhile, Addy and Mack are trying to contact Citizen Z in the Arctic, but Addy is soon captured by Tobias’ men and taken away to their camp. Addy ends up in a cave with live humans missing body parts. Normal. Garnett demands that Addy be released, and in return Tobias suggests a trade of Addy in exchange for his Sunshine, which Cassandra agrees to. Cassandra would’ve been left for dead by the men, but the ladies decide to rescue her, and soon enough, Citizen Z comes in and saves the day. Using an AM frequency, the heroes are able to blast music that cause the Z’s to follow their truck, and not a moment too soon, considering these events. By the time Garnett breaks through the gates, with zombies chomping at the bit, they overrun the camp, causing Tobias to seek shelter anywhere. He chooses to hide in the cavern that Addy found earlier. Big mistake. The victims there enjoy a nice meal courtesy of him, while Addy and Cassandra are both saved and have lived to fight another day … for now. Want to see all the action?

According to IB Times: A 31-year-old Pennsylvania teacher arrested in December for having sex with a student faces more charges for another incident involving a different student. Lauren Harrington-Cooper, an English teacher at Wyoming Valley West High School in Plymouth, Pa., was charged with institutional sexual assault after she allegedly had sex with an 18-year-old student. On Thursday, Harrington-Cooper was met with more charges after she allegedly engaged in oral sex with a 17-year-old student in a car, the Citizen’s Voice reports. The 17-year-old victim told police he began texting with Harrington-Cooper between October and November of last year. On one occasion he picked up Harrington-Cooper at her home in Kingston, Pa. After driving around for 90 minutes, he returned to her home and they kissed in the car. In another instance, they met outside of school where Harrington-Cooper allegedly performed oral sex on the 17-year-old in a parked car outside a house in Kingston, Pa. Harrington-Cooper was initially released on bail for $25,000. On Thursday she was arrested again, and bail was set at $25,000. This is her second time bustin’ it wide open for an underage boy….her bail should have been way higher.
Now that you can pick these Plan B pills up anywhere, will more kids start having sex and protection start coming off? In case you missed it, a federal judge has just made it legal for ANYBODY to pick up a pack of Plan B over the counter after a sex slip-up. Via Salon reports : A U.S. District Court has ordered the Food and Drug Administration to make the “morning after pill” available over-the-counter to women of all ages, overturning previous restrictions requiring women under the age of 17 to obtain a prescription for emergency contraception. According to the ruling, drug companies can now apply to make emergency contraception available without age restrictions and at stores other than just pharmacies and health clinics. U.S. District Court Judge Edward Korman said of the ruling: “The decisions of the Secretary with respect to Plan B One-Step and that of the FDA with respect to the Citizen Petition, which it had no choice but to deny, were arbitrary, capricious, and unreasonable.” Nancy Northup, president and CEO for the Center for Reproductive Rights, the organization that renewed the lawsuit against the FDA, applauded the ruling: “This landmark court decision has struck a huge blow to the deep-seated discrimination that has for too long denied women access to a full range of safe and effective birth control methods.” “Women all over the country will no longer face arbitrary delays and barriers just to get emergency contraception,” she added. We’ve seen a lot of outcry from parents who seem to think this decision interferes with their ability to communicate with their teens about sex. Do you agree? Take Our Poll

Georgia Residents Find Unsolicited Invitations To Join Hate Group On Their Lawns Local residents in Newton County, Georgia are in an uproar after unknown solicitors littered several Newton County front yards with fliers inviting community members to join a local hate group. Newton Citizen South Newton County residents notified the Newton County Sheriff’s Office Monday morning that unwelcome fliers were being distributed in their neighborhood. NCSO Public Information Officer Deputy Courtney Morrison said a homeowner living near County Line Road called around 10 a.m. to report that sometime between 6 p.m. Sunday night and 9 a.m. Monday, a flier had been left at the entrance of her driveway that contained an invitation to join the “clan.” The flier was enclosed in a plastic bag with a rock inside to weigh it down. It had a drawing of a robed klansman standing in front of a tree with writing that said, “Join the K*K — Loyal White Knights…” The Newton County Sheriff’s Office is currently monitoring the situation … the fliers are being reviewed to make sure they don’t contain any inappropriate information or threats,” Morrison said. “As far as we know, there are no active triple K chapters in Newton County and these fliers seem to be based out of North Carolina.” #Morrison said the Sheriff’s Office had recovered three other versions of the flier — one that reads, “Help Save Our Race” and shows a clansman in front of a Confederate flag; one with a clansman on a horse with a torch; and another one with a clansman on a horse holding up a cross that reads, “White Pride = White Power.” All have the same contact number and website reference. SMH. These fools need to either have a seat or get a hobby that doesn’t involve being a racist idiot.
Here comes the cinephile debate of the day: After polling 846 film experts, BFI’s Sight & Sound declared Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo to be the #1 greatest film of all time, topping Orson Welles’ Citizen Kane , Yasujirō Ozu’s Tokyo Story , and classics from Renoir, Murnau, Kubrick, and more of your favorite all-timers. It’s a triumph long in coming for the Hitchcock pic, which only first made Sight & Sound’s once-a-decade list in 1982 and has been working its way up the ranks of critical opinion since. Does the 2012 poll finally have it right? Culled from Top Ten lists from 846 critics, academics, writers, and programmers, Sight & Sound’s GOAT survey is at its widest to date. The full ten: The Critics’ Top 10 Greatest Films of All Time 1. Vertigo (Hitchcock, 1958) 2. Citizen Kane (Welles, 1941) 3. Tokyo Story (Ozu, 1953) 4. La Règle du jeu (Renoir, 1939) 5. Sunrise: a Song for Two Humans (Murnau, 1927) 6. 2001: A Space Odyssey (Kubrick, 1968) 7. The Searchers (Ford, 1956) 8. Man with a Movie Camera (Dziga Vertov, 1929) 9. The Passion of Joan of Arc (Dreyer, 1927) 10. 8 ½ (Fellini, 1963) Somewhere out there, Kim Novak is raising her fist in victory while William Friedkin – who told Movieline Citizen Kane set the bar for cinematic greatness so high, trying to match it is what keeps him going – is probably shaking his damn head. Meanwhile, 358 filmmakers were polled for a separate director’s choice, yielding some interesting differences in opinion: The Directors’ Top 10 Greatest Films of All Time 1. Tokyo Story (Ozu, 1953) 2. 2001: A Space Odyssey (Kubrick, 1968) and Citizen Kane (Welles, 1941) (tie) 4. 8 ½ (Fellini, 1963) 5. Taxi Driver (Scorsese, 1980) 6. Apocalypse Now (Coppola, 1979) 7. The Godfather (Coppola, 1972) and Vertigo (Hitchcock, 1958) (tie) 9. Mirror (Tarkovsky, 1974) 10. Bicycle Thieves (De Sica, 1948) It’s interesting to note the divide between critics’ and filmmakers’ ranking of Vertigo , which is a more populist-romantic choice in ways than Citizen Kane ; perhaps unsurprisingly, the directors’ list is much more auteur-heavy in its leanings. But let’s open this up to discussion: Is Vertigo really the best film of all time? (Is it even the best Hitchcock of all time?) Have at it in the comments below! Follow Jen Yamato on Twitter .

Conservative filmmaker James O’Keefe released a new video today supposedly exposing voter fraud in North Carolina by highlighting non-citizens like Zbigniew Gorzkowski who have voted in recent elections. The problem: Gorzkowski is an American citizen.
