Thought it was pretty boring also. And personally, no way some old hag with a baseball bat is getting my water when I know I am stuck in the Mexican heat. Pretty sure I could manage to stop her. Might hurt like hell, but she's only getting one swing with that bat and then I've got hold of it. Then she's getting the holy hell knocked out of her and I'm walking out with my life-sustaining pack.

thought it was a young girl- trying to protect her little sister. seemed like he was trying to do right by them by not being the aggressor there.

but yeah- could still overpower her without hurting her, take the backpack and then leave.

I assumed it was mom and daughter. Either way, I see your point, I could understand him not wanting to hurt them. But to let her have all your stuff when it likely means you won't survive? No way, sorry.

 

[Rustoleum]

I thought the panic during the shooting scene was due to the guy realizing there was a live human staring at him from inside the pack of zombies. I can accept that, as long as I give no thought to why two dudes in a working jeep felt the need to stage a last stand on a desert highway.

But yeah, the baseball bat thing.....

Yeah, I would have knocked her out

 

[Mario Kart]

So much better than the Walking Dead.

 

[Jayrok]

Oh, those Mexicans and their crazy beliefs.  Better than last week, but some come on moments.  

Walkers falling off balconies from top floors of a hotel may not die on impact, but their limbs would most likely be broken where they couldn't just get up and walk off.  

Hot latina and Nick need to face paint with blood to get by/through the wall of walkers but they don't bother to do it coming back, while pushing shopping carts full of water.  They looked like they showered at the grocery store before they left to return back to the compound.

 

[flapgreen]

Incredibly bad. A total   that I could not stop watching. The dumbest part was the guy dropping bullets and the slow as molasses zombies are able to grab him. Some of the worst writing in the history of writing. No one and I mean no one stands there and lets the zombies feast on them. You walk back to the truck, get in it, blow away a few more and leave. Gawd awful. Can't wait for next week's #### show.

Looks like I made a good decision quitting after the first season.  So dumb 

 

[flapgreen]

Did that one dude ever hook up with his step sister? 

 

[Fariq]

Did that one dude ever hook up with his step sister? 

No. 

 

[Fariq]

if it wasn't for stupidity, shows like the WD and FTWD  would run for one or two seasons and end,   there'd be nothing left to show except for a happy group of people living their boring lives peacefully somewhere in isolation, rebuilding society slowly but surely

There would still be zombie ### lickings to show. There would also be gangs of had living people. These two Walking Dead shows could still work even without these really stupid things that are hard to believe like Nick hanging out with the zombies and the dumb guy not running away from them.

 maybe on Cinemax

 

[tommyboy]

i DVR'd this 2nd episode.    i ended up fast forwarding through half of it.   

the scene with the drug gang in tijuana was good, the rest of it kind of blew chunks

the scene where the hot latina tells druggy depp that these guys will string him for even looking at them sideways, so he steals a twinkie. that scene?

Pretty sure it was a Ganzito. It was definitely not a Twinkie.

Yeah

 

[Jobber]

I do like how we get to see the survivors making dumb mistakes and learning from them. Like:

- Getting stumbling drunk in an unsecured location.

- Playing the piano and breaking glasses is said unsecured location.

- Wandering off without telling anyone.

 

[DallasDMac]

Yep. Wasn't impressed with this episode. The Nick thing is pretty boring. And the pure and utter stupidity of Stroud and the mom makes me actually hope they just get eaten by zombies. No one that stupid deserved to live. I guess the whole "make them do completely, utterly stupid things things to get in cool situations" plot device is still in full effect. And I hope the latino chick that was with the other girl, supposedly watching the room while she showered is off contemplating suicide or something. i.e. There had better be a good reason for her leaving other than some stupid "I decided to go walk around and see what I could find, leaving you totally unguarded and helpless" dreck.

 

[Nathan R. Jessep]

Garbage. It has pretty much become a 'play in the background' show for me at this point. 

Where was the Ophelia shower scene?!!

About the only thing I did like was the hotel room zombie filing system.

 

[El Floppo]

Yeah

yeah. that was awesome.

 

[El Floppo]

Pretty sure it was a Ganzito. It was definitely not a Twinkie.

save the facts for one of them high-falutin tv= art threads... like true detective. 

 

[Fariq]

We must get everything right in this thread.

 

[tommyboy]

yeah. that was awesome.

He's like a cross between chuck Norris and general Patton 

 

[BustedKnuckles]

i actually liked the zombies falling and bouncing off the ground and getting up...so surreal ...id never seen that before in any zombie flick or show...yes i know they wouldnt be able to walk ...they would just kind of flop around with a busted up body...but it was cool to watch 

 

[Witz]

the scene where the hot latina tells druggy depp that these guys will string him for even looking at them sideways, so he steals a twinkie. that scene?

What was silly about that scene was that they were told with the price they paid they could take as much as they could fit in the shopping cart. There was definitely room for the orange Twinkie in the cart. It didn't need to be 'stolen'.

Well, the lady did not want the Ganzito in there. She was worried that an object that small could not fit in the cart. That was the real dumb part of it. 

 

[El Floppo]

"Ganzito"

 

[tonydead]

A couple handfuls of zombie blood makes them invisible kind of makes the meat ponchos in TWD kind of silly. And they keep talking. After she warns him to be quiet they just keep talking. Guess Sam just wasn't as lucky. 

 

[tonydead]

Should have traded the Twinkie for a new shirt in the market place. I guess he'll just wait until it rains again and it washes all the caked in blood out and it's a nice pink color, or white, again. 

 

[flapgreen]

Pretty sure it was a Ganzito. It was definitely not a Twinkie.

I love Gansitos

let's be honest. sam's whine- regardless of volume- was a like a dog whistle for the zombies... and the rest of humanity.

 

[El Floppo]

and btw- those are some good acoustics at that resort... piano in the enclosed reception/conference area makes it all the way up to wherever the two... one.. whatever.... girls are.

 

[nirad3]

So, so conflicted.  On one hand I kind of like the fact that they're showing the "breakdown and rebuild of society"... of course the drug lords are running ish. 

But on the other hand, so much stupid. 

Bottom line, the producers really screwed this up.  So much potential from a conceptual level and instead it's just a mishmash of crap.

 

[tonydead]

Sooo convinced they are just trying to make TWD look better with this show.  Kind of like the chubby chic that hangs out with really fat friends.

hmmm... I had a boss that used to make us come up with a few schemes for buildings that we all knew were dog-crap, just to help sell the one or two schemes we were trying to pimp onto the client. 

I don't doubt this strategy being in place here... especially based on what we've seen so far.

 

[El Floppo]

and yet... I'm still watching

 

[Todem]

Show sucks.....gave up after two episodes of this second half of the second season.

Flat out sucks. Characters suck. Hard to enjoy a show when you seriously don't care for the characters. Oh well.

Looking forward for TWD this upcoming season. Still love that show. This one is a pure #### show.

 

[Parrothead]

and yet... I'm still watching

it's like watching the ####ty warm-up band - you don't care if you miss a song or two, but it passes the time until the headlining band gets on

 

[El Floppo]

yeah. when the headliner is actually playing in another month... and a different city.

 

[Tick]

I just started season 2 last night.  I think this show is taking crap from everyone, but I like the slow pace of the first few episodes.

Actually, I find this makes it a bit easier. I'm never tense. Now it's like "C'mon zombies, chomp that chump's ###!!!!" Of course they never get the ones I want. Otherwise that whiny assed son would have never survived more than a few episodes.

 

[DallasDMac]

One thing I don't get that they do constantly. When they need to herd zombies, get them to follow them, they always stay so close. Why? When she was leading them down the pier, was she afraid their field of vision is only 6 to 8 feet and so stayed that close? Pretty sure she could have put a good 20 or 30 feet between them and her and been clanging that gong and have been just fine. That way when you have the inevitable fall or foot stuck in the hole, etc and so on, there's no panic, you have time to handle the situation. But they always insist on staying within breath mint range. Makes zero sense.

 

[Jobber]

My main complaint from the show is the overuse of smearing blood on yourself to become invisible.
On top of that, they half ### it by smearing 1/10 oz of blood and calling it good.

Yea, that's a new thing they've been overplaying on this one. The Walking Dead used it sparingly and had them really smear it on. Covered with ponchos, smeared head to toe.

 

[Tick]

Yup, it seems to work so well that you would think everyone would always have zombie blood on them.

 

[tommyboy]

Zombie blood store would be a good post apocalyptic profit scheme

 

[tonydead]

Nick got a new shirt!!!!  

Theyre obviously reading this and taking my advise. No where to go but up from here. 

 

[tonydead]

That pier trick would have worked great at the quarry. Wonder why no one thought of that. 

 

[BustedKnuckles]

someone would have had to volunteer to make the first jump so the zombies all followed....or they could have just thrown Carl over

What you describe is real world behavior but would make for awful TV.
