Fear the Walking Dead discussion

PrinceCorwin · Aug 22, 2015

Ok I'll try a separate thread for FTWD. Just watch the second episode this morning after recording it last night. Liking it okay so far. I'll keep watching. I'm hoping for a severe character transformation of the main group of protagonists after the bottom falls out. As of now they are all members of a very boring suburban element, maybe with the exception of Nick the drug addict

Fear The Walking Dead starts tonight at 9 with a 90 minute premiere. Who's going to watch? I was going to start a new thread but figured it would be simpler to just discuss it here. Should be interesting to see how it all started. I hope it's done right. There's also a new Talking Dead at 8 about the upcoming season of the main show.

As a WD fan, I'm gonna watch it but I must admit that my expectations are kind of low based on the trailers I've seen and the actors that are in it. But who knows maybe I'll be surprised. And yes I think we should keep the thread here because there's going to be a lot of cross comparison between the two shows

I'm planning on watching

nickyhickey · Aug 23, 2015

Pretty good so far! Definitely took longer for the whole zombie thing to kick off than I would have thought

PrinceCorwin · Aug 23, 2015

I recorded it. I'll watch it tomorrow and post my thoughts.

Gmash · Aug 23, 2015

I liked it. I'm glad it has a different tone and feel from the main show. Only thing that sucks is it ended right when it was getting really good.

The mom seems like a real ball buster. :eek:

PattiCakeUS · Aug 23, 2015

Yeah, so far it seems good. One thing I thought was a little dumb toward the end though, was

The parents don't seem to think it's weird Calvin's car is there but he's not... "let's call Calvin & see what's going on"... really???

PrinceCorwin · Aug 24, 2015

Just watched FtWD s01e01. Have to admit it was ok. Kinda wish

that all the characters weren't clichéd soft, sensitive, troubled wusses

dan330 · Aug 24, 2015

guess I will have to check it out...

2 different shows.. so I think there should be 2 threads. even with cross comparisons.

Orion · Aug 24, 2015

I watched it and thought it was OK. I must say the characters on the show are kind of annoying though. Anyway, I was really more excited for that season 6 promo they showed last night.

PrinceCorwin · Aug 24, 2015

It broke ratings records but I bet next week won't equal up. I'm going to keep on tuning in for a little while to give it a chance but I won't stay with it if they don't add some of the incredible acting and comic book style characters we all love from walking dead. We do have to remember this all stems from a comic book. There's supposed to be an added touch of the ridiculous to it.

PattiCakeUS · Aug 30, 2015

I didn't like it when

the mom/blond guidance counselor and teen raid the food closet at the high school, stock up, get attacked, KILL the zombie, then leave the school without all the food.
- also didn't like that she still hasn't told her daughter what the heck is going on!

I thought the sane thing. They went through all that, then left the food?
Still liked it overall, though.

Possible justification (I'm reaching): society hasn't fallen yet. These people still have a fear and expectation of legal repercussions for their actions and milfmom just killed someone. That could possibly be reason to stop drop and roll on out of there quickly. (I DID say I was reaching. Lol)

The newness of the situation does make it seem more intense. They are not jaded yet like the survivors on TWD, and I felt that as a viewer during the fire extinguisher head-bashing scene.

it sure is taking its time .. get the zombies going...

I don't get how the news and authorities are not giving out info.
I would think that they would call schools, hospitals, news stations, and police first.

we get 1 person here with Ebola.. and everyone is running around talking about it.
the way the people are acting.. it is annoying.

Yeah, this week was definitely a little slow. I get the feeling it's going to speed up next week.

I still see the main characters is being a little too soft for a Walking Dead style apocalypse. And just like in walking dead, where are all the hardened black and Mexican gang members that would thrive in this environment. The only demographic that's represented by their negative side are the white trash.

Anybody else notice that the first (named) character to die was black?

And the second?

And the third?

They went full throttle on the old movie trope.

dan330 · Sep 1, 2015

wow.. now that you mentioned it...

drug dealer
boyfriend
school principal

LOL .. that is just funny! and kind of sad.
black does matter! (NO.. I don't back this movement)

well there was the FIRST zombie at the beginning..
drugged out female blonde ...
we did get her name... later.. in 2nd episode. I think.
but she has no speaking parts.. just growls

PS...
everyone matters.. no need to specify color.

Moved some FTWD posts into here from the TWD thread.

Edit: Sept. 2nd..
I moved a whole bunch more posts from the WD forum into this thread that were discussing the FTWD....so, if some of the first several posts kinda look out of time, I'm sorry...it's the best I can do

Only one Asian, but he's the baddest mofo in the show. Glen is always been my favorite character, even if he has softened up a little. Amazing what love will do. Lol
