FEAR the Waking Dead

[agrazela]

I'm only half paying attention to this show anymore, so forgive me if my details are sketchy...

Chris is a liability, he must be killed. Maybe an "accident" in the middle of the night where he shoots himself three or four times in the head.

Strand couldn't get them into Mexico, and Celia-ville ain't exactly paradise. He has no reason to be allowed to live now. Except of course we still don't know why he brought all the main characters with him, which I don't think has yet been explained?

Speaking of couldn't get into Mexico, are they done with the boat and high seas adventure? Will they try to hoof it into Mexico on foot? Or are they already in the place they were trying to get to in the first place? Not really clear on that. In any case, agreed with a previous poster, loot and run. Or wipe out Celia and hole up there awhile.

Or maybe they could take the boat and try to reach Canada or Alaska...does cold slow down walkers? Or make for Hawaii and live off chickens, pineapples and Spam?

And is my timeline off, or are these people still only like a week into the Apocalypse?

IMO at this point they could kill off everyone except Nick and the Reuben Blades guy (and his daughter, she's OK) and start over with a whole new cast.

From what I'm understanding, the compound is where they were trying to go.

It appears that Strand was trying all along to get back to the hacienda and his boyfriend. Why that needed to involve the rest of the group, I don't know. All that stuff about "I could use someone with your particular skill set" to Nick back in the quarantine zone? I've seen no explanation for that yet.

And how did Madison have a knife in her room if they had to surrender their weapons? The writing on this show frustrates the hell out of me.

Strand has used Nick for recon missions, and he (or Nick?) did explain something to the effect that Nick being a heroin addict living on the fringes of society already made him something of an "apocalypse-ready" individual. Probably the most insightful thing on this show thus far.

Maybe Madison has learned a thing or two about smuggling weapons from students, having been a HS counselor and all.

I don't really consider myself _homophobic_ but I guess I'll be that guy...Why does every show these days have to incorporate the politically correct gay couple?

What makes you think they include gay people because they "have to"? Or do you mean to simply ask why they would chose to include them? Why would doing so be "politically correct"?

FYI...whenever someone says I'm not homophobia, but....

They usually say something homophobic.

I did enjoy the last 3 episodes for the most part. Travis should become zombie lunch. Chris meh. He adds a bit of unstableness, but could care less if he stays or goes. Daniel and Celia were the best characters yet...guess we have to wait and see if either or both survived.

Every sitcom or drama should apply the appropriate proportion of race, sex, ethnic, etc. for the situation.

Worst. Episode. Ever.

So much this!

Worst. Episode. Ever.

Ha. Text at the end.

I'm really only watching at this point because it's a zombies show. Even a zombie isn't going to get up and walk when all the bones that make that possible, that make standing possible, are broken. I mean, that thing's whole leg was nearly snapped off.

This show is almost unwatchable. I'm just filling time until the other "almost unwatchable but I've watched for this long so I'm committed" show comes back on. But I watch a lot of bad TV, so....

Fiesta Hotel:

So we are on the ground floor in a hotel with glass doors. First, make sure we break up the group, because that always has positive results. Mom, be sure to show your concern by scowling slightly left of camera.
Next, let's get shnockered and bang on a piano. If we're going to party, may as well invite the locals right?
"My wife and I started singing "It's raining men" when all the zombies started going over the rails."

Meanwhile, at the Mexican version of Woodbury:

Alright so it's time to go grocery shopping. Hey white guy that I don't know, rub some blood on yourself and come to the local cartel run super market with me. BTW don't look at them wrong or they'll kill you. Oh yeah, before we go, I'd like it if you didn't talk to me, so be sure to talk the entire time.

Okay, but I'm going to steal some candy from the mean looking cartel guys you said would kill me for a bad look because of little girl and feelings and stuff. Then, I'm going to tell them about your medical supplies, we'll share some words, Mexican version of governor (my guess) will make idle threats, and then it's time for church.

The end...

Couldn't make it half way thru last night's episode. Show has been removed from TiVo's season pass.

 

[agrazela]

Suppose a sharknado occurred in FTWD--and let's face it, that would make the show more watchable--and a shark bit off and swallowed a walker's head.

Would the head be able to chew it's way out of the shark before the shark's digestive acids disintegrated the head?

So much hate. The show lacks direction but it's not terrible. Had The Walking Dead never come out I think a lot more people would be into it.

I agree. The Walking Dead has pretty much lost me with its Villain of the Season format/too much adherence to the comic book, what major character gets killed off next formula.

I am still watching FTWD to see what happens.

Both shows are a bit ridiculous, but who cares, they're zombie shows.

To be fair, I started watching TWD because I was already a big fan of the comics.

I'm way biased.

I don't know that I would watch either of these had I not already be hooked into TWD world.

Not having a vested interest in any of the characters in Fear makes it less palatable.

Yeah, this show doesn't even compare to TWD in character investment. Not to say they are all bad characters though, but if Negan where to take a swing at any of FTWD characters I would be pretty meh.
