***OFFICIAL 'Fear The Walking Dead' Thread*** (1 Viewer)

We need some more likeable characters. There is none.
I like Druggie Depp. Stealing that morphine was a master stroke.
:goodposting:

This episode was awesome even though there wasn't a single zombie. I love seeing how regular people react to unimaginable situations. It's far too early to dismiss anyone as a potential badass. The Governor was a boring office worker. Carol was a battered house wife. Glenn delivered pizza. We didn't see them right after the apocalypse began. This group is barely two weeks into this thing.

And the safe zones will be overrun from the inside. There will be an accidental or some other kind of unexpected death.
With the care they are taking with people who are ill (see Johnny Creep), it is difficult to imagine a one-off death causing the whole community to turn. The National Guard is likely quartered independently from the non-military people living in the safe zones. I would think that while one safe zone could be wiped out due to internal strife with the NG, resulting in mass deaths of NG and non-NG, the majority of the safe zones would be wiped out by mass waves of zombies (ala the prison whitewash).
If one member of a five-person home passes, all five could turn before any of them know what's going on. Then it's on, yo!

Those in this thread who are complaining about these characters acting like they don't know they are in a zombie apocalypse are hilarious. If "people were getting sick" all around me, I sure wouldn't think "zombie apocalypse" because such an event is impossible.
exactly. Ebola or some other virus from Level 4 would be my guess.

 
eventually they will run out of ammo
I could buy that as the reason. Though it seems like they still haven't in TWD.
as things get worse, supply lines are broken and all "safe" zones must fend for themselves.. eventually the soldiers leave to search for supplies and food
IMO the better story would be the zombies breaking in (or someone being infected inside) with the eventual result being a few Soldiers mixed in with civilian survivors and learning to work together.

 
looked like mom slapping the #### out of Nick might have been the wakeup call he needed, but then he got hauled off. I'm curious to see what this facility looks like that they're taking everyone, and if they are really trying to help people or just basically putting them in prisons & isolating them.

that final scene with the gunshots in the distance was chilling.

Or letting them die and doing "research."

See that is what I was thinking. What if there isn't a facility and they are just killing them or putting them in pens and watching to see who turns first. Really interesting plot twist in this show.

Man. Herscherl from TWD would have been culled out quickly with these standards.

 
I didn't see the last episode - could someone please give me a minimal bullet point synopsis? TIA
the National Guard has set up a perimeter fence for a "safe zone".. but they are up to something...

Madison is horny..

Junkie Depp gets an ### whipping from mom..

Little sister still hot

 
I didn't see the last episode - could someone please give me a minimal bullet point synopsis? TIA
National Guard Lt. is a d-oosh.

Junkie Depp was stealing heroin.

Emo-Maori son saw lights in the hills.

Frown-y wife goes outside the fence, NG were shooting healthy people.

Moody-Maori dad sees gunshots in the hills where son saw lights.

Dun Dun Dun

And the dad is 100% responsible for the death of those survivors on the hill. He told the Army LT about them.

So you wouldn't mention to the guy in charge that there might be some survivors needing help?

 
It's also not credible, even by the rules of the genre, that the entire population of LA just quietly disappears except for this one little neighborhood without anybody knowing what happened.
If you're going to question credibility then maybe try paying attention. This is one of 8 or 9 safe zones in just this one area of LA.
Yeah, I did pay attention. The people in this safe zone can see a couple of miles in every direction just from sitting on the roof. If the military did a house-by-house clean-up operation in the surrounding area, everybody would have seen it taking place. For example, the dad has no problem clearly seeing gunfire in one building off in the distance. But apparently people were gunned down in the streets, and armed patrols are still taking place in broad daylight, and that's somehow a secret to everybody except the one lady who snuck out.

Again, I'm enjoying the show. This particular direction of the story just doesn't allow for suspension of disbelief IMO.
The lady that snuck out seemed to know that the military had cleaned out the infected by shooting them. The revelation was that healthy people were among those shot by the patrols. I feel like you are so intent on finding things wrong that you invent entire scenarios, or you have no imagination or common sense. The other possibility is that you don't pay attention.
Dude this show is full of all sorts of stuff wrong with it. You have to not pay attention to not notice it all.

You are trying too hard. Try more subtlety.
 
Good luck with that. You're in one of the fenced in areas surrounded by burbs, not the other way around. The whole idea that they could have even established safe zones is rather absurd. Look it up on google earth view and zoom in a little bit to get an idea of what you'd be dealing with.
True, but that's sort of the point. Right now, everybody is overly optimistic about things. The audience knows that that fence and a few humvees is a laughable defense based on what we've seen from TWD, but nobody on the show realizes that yet. They're still figuring this stuff out.
:shrug:

If you assume the zombies aren't going to travel much distance then a hundred or so guardsmen should keep the numbers of zombies down in the immediate area without much problem.
Well obviously with The Walking Dead these didn't hold up or there would still be civilization, so we know that these won't hold up in Fear The Walking Dead.
How do we know that?

 
just finished watching episode 2 / season 2 of Z Nation....that single episode blew fear the walking dead right outa the water
Really? I like Z Nation, but if you are going to complain about this show you can't say that show blows this one out of the water. That show is fun, but they show no ill effects from a nuclear explosion maybe a mile or so away? The tunnel saved them and of course the guy in the artic had a missile defense system? Needless to say the whole setting off the nukes was basically a non-event. Complaining about a bad van crash off the bridge is one thing, but saying a show where nuclear explosions are just ignored as a "go around this area to avoid the fallout" comment. Hey, no communications or weather channel, but some new guy knows exactly where all of the fall out is the day after the nukes go off?

Also, the guy, who got shot and was dying/bleeding to death, is able to survive the truck flipping in the tunnel and then appears to be as healthy as an ox a couple hours later as if never shot and dying. He even survived choking by having an out of the body experience where he saw a knife that he told himself to reach and was able to stab the other guy and survive. Also, don't forget the main guy who survived multiple zombie bites and has now turned into a half zombie who can mind control zombies to do his bidding. Oh wait, he also fathered a kid with a human girl and the baby in the womb can understand the mom's question about where her dad is and points in his direction miles away.

I like Z Nation, but it wasn't that hard for me to remember that stuff. It is fun and campy, but it is not comparable in any way. It may sound cool to say you like Z Nation more, but it is a SyFy show not based in any reality and completely ignores/forgets stuff.

We need some more likeable characters. There is none.
the daughter. preferably next episode will be her floating on the mattress in the pool with a thong bikini and no top.
That little sundress was nice. Killer legs.
I think next episode, we see some inappropriate sexual advances from some of the soldiers. This will be the slap in the face they need to confirm civilization is dwindling and they need to toughen up.
There isn't a lack of talent on From Dusk Till Dawn.

 
#### would hit the fan real fast in a safe zone like this with no outside resources coming in.

As for the show so far, honestly i like it and am liking it more, but I think it could be a lot better if they added in more isolated events. For example when mom went for a walk outside the safe zone SOMETHING could have happened.

I guess i cant blame them but it feels they sort of rushed this show into production. Still pretty good though.

Liking Junkothan Depp more and more.

I have a feeling the old fella is gonna whack a couple military guys and then get shot.

Mom is getting pissed.

Travis might have just woken up.

Z-Nation intentionally is unrealistic. Walking Deads are unintentionally unrealistic sometimes.

I like all 3.

Z-Nation is set to be a campy, funny version of the WD. All you needed to see was the Z infant turn into (my name is) Carl Lewis Zombie and you'd appreciate what they are trying to do.

Speaking of Carl Lewis, my favorite video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LymeOcJyJtg

 
I was surprised at just how safe the surrounding area outside the safe zone was. With that kind of setup, it's amazing that the military failed at all. They seem to have everything well contained right now. The military firebombed Atlanta and there were still huge hordes of horse-eating zombies roaming around.

Give it time. It will be every man for himself very soon. At that point the military isnt going to be protecting anything.

 
I know the Asian zombie neighbor used to babysit her but what's with the daughter, the letter she found, the tattoo and her sticking herself with the needle. They also seemed to focus on the empty prescription bottle again too.

As do I and I definitely understand. It just seems silly to complain about stuff like no packing scenes, too little gore and people not acting as if they should be in 100% survival mode at first tweet. If you are going to nitpick, seems strange to accept the ridiculously unrealistic nature of Z Nation and think it is a way better show. They are all different shows, comparing them is odd to me. Enjoy them for what they are IMHO.
