Fear The Walking Dead

Yeah, I'll check it out, but I'm very jaded at this point.

Ever since they time jumped over everything they said they were going to show us to approximately the same time Rick woke up in the hospital.

 

My wife and I will be watching. We enjoyed FTWD despite some of it's obvious flaws.

 

Gonna watch but I am just not that into it, maybe it changes.

 

Oops! I forgot all about this show starting back up. I'll have to watch it later. Maybe. I dunno. Was it worth watching?

 

People do dumb things and that's doubly true for teenagers.

 

Wait, why the hell didn't anyone say "Where's all this smoke coming from?" Including Strand!

Also, you can't miss the bullet holes....at that point it's GTFOT!

Hey I know I'll just go swimming in the ocean right next to this smoke and debris field.....oh zombies? Let me go swim in and see if there's anymore!

The Walking dead stupid factory!

 

To me, this episode was very , "meh." I really did enjoy the show last season, but this was not a very exciting season opener. I hope the next episode will pick it up.

 

Actually episode 2 was better. The 2 central characters they want us to follow are pissing me off, but it was a better episode.

 

How do you figure they time jumped? When it started everything was normal and then all hell broke loose. You can still see the military firebombing cities in current episodes. Rick woke up after the world as we know it ended. Did you expect a soap opera that ended after X number of seasons with a zombie apocalypse?

 

They did time jump over a bunch of things going on when the Military cordoned off thier neighborhood. They even put it on screen xx weeks later. I expected news reports, radio broadcasts, real soldiers with real concerns and real dialog about what was going on in the world. They wrote the one nerdy kid right out of it at the beginning. (maybe because he was just like Glenn knew too much from video games and comics)

 

Zombie child was pretty creepy though!

 

You mean the 9 days? You're bent over 9 days? It could be interesting to see stuff from the soldiers point of view;however, that would take developing a large number a new characters. They can't just throw some random soldiers in there because viewers will have no connection to them. In a six episode season there's only so much character introduction and development that can be done. Too much and it becomes long, draw out, and boring which would mean no season two.Also this show isn't about the soldiers it's about another small group and their trials and tribulations.

 

I have been a huge zombie fan for over 20 years so I am biased to liking these shows. With that being said, FTWD is pretty good. I love Zombie shows/movies that kinda show how everything came to be. The cast is worse that TWD, and that's cause the people from TWD can be silly, and show can be monotonous. I have yet to watch episode 2 but looks good.

 

Yeah, I thought episode 2 was better. Still not enjoying it as much as I did last season, but this was a step up up from week 1.

 

Where did I say I was upset? I don't mind a time jump when it makes sense. I like the one in TWD for example. It gives the characters time to settle in and build something/get comfortable without the viewer having to watch the boring stuff.

In a show were you say you're going to show the fall I expect more than a hackneyed military guys bad/cruel and then a bunch of random firebombing in the next season. with random beach fires and zombies attacking the beach for some reason.

I'm just saying that would have made it more interesting to me. As it stands, most on here don't like the 2 central characters they've given the show (whether they stay central or not is to be seen). The show runners are saying they intend to run parallel to the main show and not intersect, but catch-up at some point.
