The Walking Dead Fear the Walking Dead General Discussion Thread

[Brother Jack]

I thought it was a really good finale. This season had its ups and downs but overall I think it was a strong start.

 

[Thundercrack85]

I thought it was pretty bad overall. Had potential. But the pacing was terrible. The military response made no sense. We're expected to believe they can respond so quickly, yet are so disorganized? Which one is it?

Overall, the characters ranged from annoying to barely tolerable. No one is particularly likable. In the finale, they left their neighbors to die.

So yeah... what a waste.

 

[Broseph44]

I'm watching the finale now but not really expecting much. Did I hear that there is a promo for season 2 at the end of this?

This **** is so stupid with the soldier as a hostage. Dumb as ****. Feel like this show didn't know where it was gonna go. So it went in all these weird dumb directions with a stupid family. Both families are dumb actually.

I'm ready for the real Walking Dead. Can't come soon enough.

 

[Steyin]

Great finale, pretty good season.

 

[Broseph44]

Wow really the old Hispanic guy walking up to the place with the soldiers with all the dead behind him. Wtf is this non sense

 

[Teelie]

It was a decent finale to an uneven season. I think the boat is either full of zombies or it is in some way not sea-worthy and will have to be abandoned.

If it were at all possible though it would make an excellent place to set up and live off of. You would be virtually free of any zombies and would only need a dingy or raft to go to and from the ship to shore and get supplies as necessary, although it would only be a temporary measure until it either needed repairs or there was a massive storm.

 

[Broseph44]

Love how the military is portrayed as a bunch of *******s. Wow. What a great show. Am I the only one who started off good with this show but has completely turned against it?

So the Hispanic ex wife didn't think twice about leaving the family before. But now when the soldiers in the helicopter want her to get in she has second thoughts. Hahahaha oh my god this show. Wow.

Omg hahaha dumbest show ever really? Wow. I'm a huge TWD fan both the show and the comic. This Fear show though is horrendous in my opinion. Sorry. I know many will disagree but yeah. I can't help it gotta be honest.

I was enjoying at first looking forward to the slow start of things, the slow burn to seeing society collapse. Now all this crazy **** with 2 families that I don't give two ****s about and it's just all too much for me and dumb.

Wow **** this ****. Yeah won't be grabbing this on blu ray and won't be tuning in for another season. Sorry just giving my thoughts I know some might agree most will disagree. I want my real Walking Dead. Can't wait. This show has potential for me and then it lost me big time.

 

[Evelisse]

heh, well for what it's worth I liked these 6 episodes more than all of season 2, 3 and most of season 4 of TWD.

 

[Broseph44]

I always loved all TWD seasons because the characters mattered. Even if it had its slow moments. That's because it was building them up and the stories. Maybe also cause in a huge fan of the comic. Either way I dunno haha.

 

[Obsidian Idea]

If it were at all possible though it would make an excellent place to set up and live off of.

The idea of bobbing up and down on a boat for an indefinite amount of time drives me freakin crazy. It may be one of the safest places, yes but give me land please. I'd find a suitable place to live out discretely....

I think this was a solid finale and one of the best of the first season.

Strand, Nick, Madison and Salazar are the core for this show so far and I want to see what's going to be done with them.

As I said in an earlier post, I would've like to have seen more locales throughout L.A. in this first season. I definitely wanted see some neighborhoods overrun with walkers.

I like the idea of traveling via yacht in Season 2. It would be cool if they went to Catalina Island, maybe stock up on supplies only to have to fight to get back to the boat.

I'll be back for Season 2.

 

[Docker2.0]

Watching it now. I realize they have a budget. But does it strike anyone else as odd that they don't have any grenades, or grenade launchers, or any ordinances to hit the horde with?

I did as well. To be the military, they really don't seemed that well equipped or following any kind of protocol at all.

Love how the military is portrayed as a bunch of *******s. Wow. What a great show. Am I the only one who started off good with this show but has completely turned against it?

I'm not against it but they just had WAAAAYYYY to many WTF moments. I did enjoy the season finale more than I hated it but some of the situations were handled way to wtf-ish.

 

[X-Ray]

Okay finale with some dumb moments.

I know old man has seen some ****. But he was way too chill with 2,000+ walkers following behind him. The plan itself was too ****in' stupid. Those walkers could have easily have block all exits too. They got lucky.

Nice to see Travis finally lose his ****. Shame he didn't lose it with the shotgun which he didn't fire off once the entire episode.

They must really hate their neighbors. First they didn't tell them and then they left the ****in' gate open. Cold blooded, man.

"Don't let Travis do it, it'll break him." So much for that.

If there's a 2nd season. I'd watch. I want to see where exactly will the group head in that boat? Catalina Island? Up the coast towards Frisco?

I love TWD because they have some really good characters that I root for.

I enjoyed the finale, but it had its problems. pretty much the same problems its had the last couple of eps, which is the characters. But the action & movement reduced the amount of character annoyance. As long as they limit the amount of down time, they can minimize the annoying stuff. OR hopefully the writers get better.

The military wasn't portrayed well and they ruined the one descent soldier. And of course, soldiers had to show up to steal THAT vehicle so they can harass the son/daughter. I agree that the ex wife was inconsistent.

The family was following Depp yet ended up (not behind him) but on the opposite side of the door/hallway (unless I missed something). But it lead to some tension, so... I can live with it

Salazaar leading a heard of walkers looked cool. So I can let that slide. t:

The zombie boat is a good lead in for season 2. They just need to write the characters better.

 

[Marz69]

Yeah, that was not cool. I think the daughter said something about the neighbors not helping when the military took her brother away. Seriously, what were they supposed to do. This family is unlikeable. Though I find Depp interesting.

 

[Teelie]

Yeah, it was petty of them to let their neighbors bite it (or rather, get bit) because they didn't help when the military came by as if there was something they could have done besides stand there helplessly and complain or try to help and get arrested or shot.

 

[O_B_Juan]

Maybe the neighbors didn't help because they thought the military was taking away someone who was infected?

 

[kane9321]

so glad its over

 

[kane9321]

So you are saying you'd bang Miley Cyrus?

lol..lmao..

 

[the dmg]

I found the finale to be pretty great.

The only moment I thought was complete **** was when the walkers are pushing against the gate, and the fence is deflecting every single shot fired.

 

[Elevator Man]

It was a decent finale to an uneven season.

Pretty much sums up how I felt. With season 1 being only 6 episodes (as well as the 9 day time jump halfway through) is probably why it felt uneven. Hopefully they'll hire better writers and maybe a new showrunner for season 2. But I'm curious about what will happen to Strand and Salazar next season. So I planning on sticking around for season 2.

Strand closed the door (so walkers wouldn't get through)without realizing that it electronically locks when closed. Strand was looking for Melvin (I think was his name) who was his ride and was dead. So he took a firearm and his keys and proceeded back from the direction they came to find the door locked from being closed. That's how both ended on the opposite side of the door.

An ok final, when did it start again ?

Ah, ok.

Was the neighbor they didn't tell walking a dog? Because that would mean the mother/daughter team is responsible for 2 dog deaths. Because those neighbors are gonna be zombie food.

Pretty much mimics my thoughts. It feels pretty plain to me that they didn't have as much budget for this show as they do for TWD and this was kind of the indicator.

As to the incompetence of the military I'm just imaging that these are NG or Reservists and not the proper GIs.

Correction. Strand didn't take any keys, but retrieved his cuff links from that soldier he bargained it with during last week's ep. As well as took a firearm.

They're getting more episodes for the second season, so I would imagine the budget will increase.

One of the episodes with Travis talking with the guy in charge said that they're mostly just kids. That same episode stated they're also patrolling nonstop since they're so limited in people, so they're exhausted.

That fence had a force field though.
