Fear the Walking Dead (AMC)

[HeavyB3]

I think the ending really bothered me. I'm wrestling with idea that people are already forming their survival groups and slaughtering people on the high seas without second thought. Like this other boat that the girl was talking to.. those guys have already become hardened criminals?

The other boat had obviously been gunned down, but what was the point? Did they raid it? Did they just kill everyone without taking any supplies?

Seems like everyone is dropping their modern human instincts very quickly now. Is that just cuz they know that slowly losing their morality would drive us all nuts because we know they are going to have to lose it to survive?

Last night was pretty meh.

That's basically what Phrazbit was saying as well. It's like they skipped passed the part where people would still try and help people. Now it's everybody for themselves as if the show fast forwarded a year or so down the line.

That is sort of contradictory anyway. As we have seen the military still have a presence in that same episode (flying jets). The military might not be cohesive but I bet if they knew people were slaughtering people at sea...they wouldn't tolerate it. People would still be helping people at this stage of the breakout.

I can see the 'every man for himself" at the initial exodus from LA... but not mass homicide,.... the tipped boat was obviously riddled with bullet holes...... cant even wrap my head around the idea of a rogue military unit at this point in the show..

 

[Shaggy]

Wow! Was it that boring?

Yeah, it was already happening last season, even among the characters we're supposed to care about. Salazar unleashing thousands of zombies onto that facility, knowing that probably hundreds of people would get killed as a result, and the entire fam going along with it, seemed like a stretch. Oh, and his entire purpose in leading an attack on that compound and causing the deaths of all those people was so he could save his wife, but she'd already died (and the people at the compound actually tried to help her!), and when he found out he got over it in about...... 4 minutes.

This show is incredibly bad. As I was watching it, I was thinking to myself that it couldn't get worse. And every scene thereafter, it did.

It was probably thousands of zombies released. You are right though...they would just meander and that many would cause major havoc on any survivors around the city. For example, if there were any other "safe zones" those would be easily overrun.

The writing on Fear The Walking Dead is mind numbing bad.

P.S. I never cheered so hard for a zombie to chomp on somebody (Junkie Depp). Even the zombie was afraid of stupidity via consumption.

Why is everyone still watching it, then?

Probably the same reason people watch NASCAR.

Terrible. This show continues to baffle me.

Everyone thought FTWD would show us how the world started to unravel at the beginning of the end. Yet it has done the exact opposite and concentrated on a very small group of people. I was hoping that season 2 might shift course and begin to show more of what was happing on a larger scale. No such luck.

When season 1 ended everything was all hunky dory at the beach house. Season 2 starts up and all hell is breaking loose in LA... Yet we didn't get to see any of that! No we are stuck watching a dozen of the worst characters ever created make insane decisions time and time again.

I'm to the point now where the only reason I'm watching it is to root for the main characters to die.

Madison tops my list of my most hated character (Travis really down graded when he made her his second wife, I think he realized that when he dumped his first wifes body in the ocean).

Closely followed by Chris (dude is a whiny little turd and is creepy sleeping with his moms corpse)

Junkie Depp (How is this guy still alive)

Strand (cheesiest character of all time)

[BigRedRage]

Even the last zombie attacking Junkie Depp got so bored with the season premier it just gave up. "This is a stupid waste of time. Swim away."

Yeah wtf was that

man, this show is bad.

I'm rooting for Travis to die REAL soon.

Travis isn't a very good actor imo

This may be the most bungled show I've ever witnessed. They knew making this thing that people wanted to see how society collapsed, they showed the first roughly... 8 hours of it, then skipped the rest.

And these characters are wretched. I also don't get what happened to Kim Dickens acting ability. Everything else I've seen her in she is great, on this show the shows the emotional range of a peacock. Nothing but blank stares and a resting bitch face.

She is terrible imo

People riot after football games, what's to stop the real criminals from going 5 steps ahead and when seeing the decay of society, take advantage?

As far as the boat she talked to being hardened criminals, we know nothing yet, really.

It was a bit disappointing that apparently very little time has passed but they skipped the fact that zombies were invading and bombs were being dropped. That's not interesting, let's fast forward past that, yeah?

So many close bites, it is a shame Travis and his wife are primary characters, they are running the show.


The episode was pretty boring but the end had me intrigued for what comes next. Strand, Alicia and junky depp seem to be the only good actors that seem like real people in the show. The rest seem fake.

Just watched all of flight 492 out whatever. Hoping the Son and the Asian girl make it, they are believable characters. This show could use more of them.

I watched the season premiere out of morbid curiosity. I watched last season because it was billed as a show where you watched society crumble, but, as mentioned, that essentially got skipped over after just a few episodes.

I'm done with it. Probably do the same thing I did with Walking Dead as of the Governor showing up and turning the show into a cartoon. I'll check in here and there, maybe watch short clips when I found out one of my least favorite characters died.

But even Walking Dead fanatics are killing this show and I heard the season premier was had a lower rating than any episode of the first season (which saw its rating decline throughout). It may limp into a 3rd season but I don't think this show will be around long.

I am hoping that everyone but strand, junkie depp and his sister dies. Those 3 plus the asian girl and the boy from the plane could make this show good.

No way. The sick old torture guy is vital once they have to start making tough choices. He's got to teach them all what its gonna take to survive.

Oh...I was cheering for Junkie Depp to get chomped too. However, the zombie in the water for some reason was more mesmerized by the light shimmering through the holes in the boat verses Junkie Depp's charm and charisma.

I know we are supposed to suspend belief....but come on!

I want to like him but I honestly fall out of the show whenever he hits the screen too. Its like his character simply doesnt belong. I am ok with him living though, as long as travis, his wife and his son all die soon Its like a show with 5 different andreas except andrea fit in the show, i just didnt like her. Those 3 are just terrible fits and their acting doesnt translate well at all.

I get that the zombie cannot swim and chase him but it would still be trying IMO.

even being down a little bit from the finale, it's still came in at a 3.1 in the demo, which would be GREAT for Network, but is MASSIVE for cable. It's the Watching Dead syndrome. People just love their zombies, no matter how dull the living are in the show. This thing probably goes for 5 years, minimum.

 

[BigRedRage]

I realized today that last season was the same. mostly boring episodes and suddenly the last 10 minutes I am entertained and involved, it ends, I go oh man next weeks will be cool and I bet you next weeks first 45 minutes will be boring, start to get good at the end again. We'll see.

Here's another thing that bothered me. In Talking Dead after (I watched about 5 minutes), one of the creators said that the zombies were being driven to the coast by the bombs. That flies in the face of everything we know. If anything, the zombies should be drawn to the sound of the exploding bombs and should get incinerated (or melted to the ground Walking Dead Atlanta style).

The inference was that the bombs caused all hell to break loose in the beach house because the bombs were driving the zombies to the coast away from the fires and explosions.

which should have been what at a minimum the beginning of EP:1 cenetered around.

Hear bangs, go on roof, see planes dropping bombs everywhere, look another way and see a horde coming, run in side in a panic and get to beach, etc.

The biggest problem is is that writers can't seem to get a handle on what was suppose to be compelling about the show. The icing on the cake is all the inconsistency and the absolutely dumb characters they are putting on screen. If I didn't know any better, I would say the writers of this show never watched a single episode of TWD or the comics and just making crap up as they go along.

to be fair, the writers of the walking dead have a ton of inconsistency with their own rules they've set and the entire cast seemingly was lobotomized at the end of this season.

I agree some of the stuff this last season has been challenging to watch but for the most part they have gotten more right verses wrong. You can't really say that for FTWD can you?

no... they've gotten everything wrong.
