2 of those people were drug addicts, who knows what kind of trip they are on. And he didn't see the Principal.

Have they actually seen someone eating another person or just trying to bite them?

I saw the fight but I wouldn't shoot Mike Tyson if he walked into my office.

I could see some people trying to process that as some kind of human disease that could possible be cured. Not everybody but some people, certainly. And those people will likely be the first to die. He's just gotten lucky so far but I don't think his reactions are unbelievable. Not every person will become a killing machine in 3 days.

That is why I'm hoping a few of them get eaten. That would be realistic.

I guess I'm just saying that by the 4th time I have to fight off or run from a zombie I'm being a lot more proactive in my actions.

The mom is the worst though. She not only had to kill the Principal but the kid from school literally told her what was going on at the same time and said it was all over the internet.

No 4th time though

No character witnessed all 3.

And the druggie and mom both obviously knows what's up.

Its the dad and sister (who has a reason to hope its something else because of her bf having it)

Who cares? They can talk. The whole point is just how stupid they are. If they all aren't aware of what the others saw then they are too stupid to make it 5 days in this world.

I understood completely when they didn't believe the druggie brother when he was saying what he saw but given the other clues I think you'd have to believe he was right.

Who are you focusing on?

The dad is bad. I agree there.

The sister forgetting the shells is totally understandable.

The other characters, Mom, Druggie, Shop owner seem to "get it"

The whole family. Everyone.

None of them seem to be adding things up to know just how bad things are. The shop owner seems to get it though. The mom didn't even put up a fight about finishing the neighbor. She isn't telling everyone to stop being so stupid.

The sister going back for the shells alone without a weapon was incredibly dumb. Grab a golf club at least. Forgetting them was fine but stay alone.

Well, at least unlikable douchebag Nick got taken away. Hopefully he is gone for good.

Does every leader of these safe areas that emerge have to be a gold playing dickhead?

Good episode that continues to build the story. No way that Nick character is completely gone and written
out of the series. They will show what is happening at the "hospital".

Nick is unlikeable?

He's not in the top 5 douchebags on this show.

You might want to consider not watching anymore cause I have a feeling that Nick is going to be one of the stars of this show in the long run. When his mom told him to not be a hero and he said that wasn't a problem I feel that was foreshadowing to Nick becoming just that in the long run.

I was very disappointed in the time jump last night. I thought the whole point of this show was to see what happened while Rick was in a coma and now we once again missed the key part to that. I wanted to see LA getting evacuated and zombies roaming the streets with the ignorant masses. When Madison went out there and saw the bodies how far was she from the safe zone? Probably not that far. Didn't they hear all the gun fire and zombie moans from the safe zone when the shooting was going on? I was surprised that she didn't grab that gun that was sitting there.

Next week should be great, get to finally get a look at the inner workings of the military base. I imagine that is going to be a shit show.

Only 2 episodes left, I'm guessing it ends with the dad (or maybe Madison) taking out the army guy in charge.

Yea, that sucks.

The whole scene where the riot was happening and they were hiding (or stuff like the guy attacking emts) should have been the whole first season.

Now its just another version of The Walking Dead. Other than finding out a few details about zombies there is not much difference.

I have a feeling they will spend time on it during flashbacks. That, or the writers/directors couldn't put it together in a coherent fashion

I would think that a spin off of TWD wouldn't have budget constraints, but maybe it does. They definitely saved on makeup this week, this was the first episode in TWD/FTWD history that didn't have a single zombie in it.

I say Nick dies, the ex-wife, and the foot injury lady.

The Doc comes back as a love triangle eventually.

Foot injury lady, definitely a goner, but I thought they would use her to show the others that dying from anything will result in zombie.

Nick is the star of the show according to the pre-show press, he's not going anywhere.

Also don't think ex-wife is going anywhere soon.

As for the doc, I'm guessing horrible death in the next episode. She's too well kept to not get eaten by 20 zombies.

_________________

No, I do believe it. He's serving his purpose for this year but blondie is going to be the Rick of this show.

I would entertain swapping out the Dad for Nick as dying but I think you need him to do the crappy romance portion of the show that they always need to shoehorn in.

I've read people saying the daughter could die but I don't see it. She's the only young girl on the show. They'll set something up between her and the quasi-step-brother.

That leaves Nick on the outside. He'll have some heroic death, probably at the end of the finale.

I would also entertain swapping out the ex-wife for the barber shop daughter selling the idea of sex for medicine. I'd say 50/50 on that.

The foot lady is dead, though.

I think Nick is in it for the long haul so you better get used to him. I expect his character to make a really cool transformation.

As for the other characters the only ones who hasn't shown any sort of survivor's instinct are the daughter and the ex-wife. All the other characters have shown a good instinct for surviving. The barber killed the one zombie with a head shot after watching the cops do it. His daughter is clever enough to use sex to get info and meds from the army guy. Nick has already survived at least 2 close encounters with zombies and has shown good instincts in recognizing the severity of the situation. He also was very clever in getting the old man's morphene drip. The dad, as clueless as he is, still has shown good instincts like when he knew to drive away from the car accident in the first episode.

The daughter seems like the obvious choice, but then again with only 2 eps left maybe none of them die except for the old lady with the broken foot?

There are rumors that Dr. Jenner from season 1 of TWD might be on FTWD, but other than that, I don't see it happening with the other cast members. Unless there are some radical plot changes and air travel is introduced at some point I don't see how its even possible.

_________________

Not to beat a dead horse but here we have another episode with complete stupidity by one of the main characters.

She goes and cuts a fence and goes out on her own, unarmed, and then goes and lays around dead bodies, refuses to grab the gun that is right at her feet, and then goes home.

But hey, maybe they don't yet realize that this is a dangerous situation!

This show has just seemed really uneven to me. I didn't really care that much for this episode. Maybe I should rewatch it.

I liked the guy in the tux. First character I've seen in this show that was mildly interesting, albeit a fairly unrealistic one. Very comic-booky.

Still liked him, though.

He seemed like a carbon copy of the Alan Johnson character http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0430667/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t7 from the hit UK comedy "Peep Show". Hopefully he sticks around and is part of the cast.


Gotta say with only 6 episodes I was really hoping this season would have more action in it, more zombie hordes attacking ignorant people.

I'm assuming next week things get crazy, but I said the same thing last week.

Waiting for the time when I can finally say
That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way

I think this show is doing a good job of showing how great The Walking Dead is, because it just doesn't match up.

FWD is still better than most shows on television though, but they have some work to do for season two otherwise this is basically just the minor leagues of TWD.

The guy in the tux was great though. Call him up to the big leagues!

1st and 3rd statements are correct. Middle is wrong. The tv bar has been raised in general by HBO and Netflix, this show is not one of the better ones.

What do you call the spinoff of a spinoff? A spinoff-squared? A double spinoff? A re-spinoff? A spin-way-off?

How about "Fear The Walking Dead: Flight 462"?

That's the title of an upcoming Web-only spinoff of AMC's new "Fear The Walking Dead," itself a prequel to the post-apocalyptic zombie show "The Walking Dead."

The 16 episodes of "Fear The Walking Dead: Flight 462" -- each less than one minute long -- will tell the story of a group of passengers who have the bad luck to board a commercial flight just as the "Walkers" begin to emerge. At the outset of the show, it becomes clear that one of the passengers is infected with the disease that leads to the mayhem of "The Walking Dead" -- so it seems safe to say that it'll be something like "Snakes on a Plane," but with zombies. Fun.

At least one character introduced in "Fear The Walking Dead: Flight 462," will make an appearance on the second season of "Fear The Walking Dead."

The series will premiere on AMC.com on Oct. 4, the night of the season 1 finale of "Fear The Walking Dead." Episodes also will be shown during commercial breaks of "The Walking Dead" season 6, which premieres Oct. 11.

"The Walking Dead" -- the most successful show on cable -- was the fourth-most-watched show on any network during the 2014-2015 TV season, while "Fear The Walking Dead" had the biggest premiere of any cable series in history. It's no wonder AMC executives would want to take advantage of its popularity.

Yeah, they showed that plane flying over a couple episodes ago.

I guess, spoiler, it must not crash if someone survived.

Some questions after last episode.

At the military prison, what is "down below"? When Nick had a high temp they were on the way to taking him "down below" before his new BFF interceded. I wonder what is down there? Is it as simple as a hospital facility or is it something worse such as a holding pen for zombies and people about to turn into zombies? Or is it just a slaughter house where the national guard is simply executing anyone who might be sick? Or is it something else altogether?


Also, was that the Staples Center where all the zombies are locked up? What was the soldier talking about when he said he never saw people turn that quickly? After this many seasons of TWD I don't think we've ever seen anyone turn so quick that it would be impossible to contain a mini outbreak. People seem to die and then turn after several minutes at least. It seems to me you would need a World War Z type of time frame for all those people in the Staples Center to become zombies at essentially the same time. I wonder if we'll ever see that on the show?

Not really sure how this is all going to fall apart. It honestly seems like the military has things under control in LA. At the medical facility they are killing people before they turn and keeping a close eye on people who are on the verge of dying. Hopefully next week we get the full on zombie breakout we've been promised.

I also assumed that was supposed to be the Staples Center. He said something about 2,000 people, though, right? I would think it would be more like 20,000. I could absolutely see how 20,000 could turn far more quickly than the police/Natl Guard would be able to contain it, assuming it happened very early before there was a large military presence in the city.

Hey, that might have been a cool episode to watch - 20,000 people turning at a Lakers game. But, flashforwards are cool, too.
