Fear the Walking Dead (Page 1 of 6)

I hope for better (cooler) characters with more backbone, more interaction with other groups, less emphasis on morale and more focus on the survival game.

A more gritty and darker world would be more than welcome.

And god please don't have damn kids and babies near the main cast.

There's already a thread in TWD section of the forum:

http://forum.next-episode.net/viewtopic.php?id=8834

Thread is still here, must be okay to give the show its own thread. Let's carry on

Anyway, really looking forward to this, hope it doesn't become one of those huge letdown moments. I expect this will have a fair bit of action and drama, and possibly not so much gore. Just hope it doesn't become too family-friendly - I'd like to see really difficult situations tackled and not have the worst parts of a breaking down world avoided because of the family appeal thing.

I remember an old TV show back in the 70s called "Survivors", which I suppose is the true originator for showing on TV this sort of post-apoc world in the very early stages, and even back then, that show wasn't afraid to show pretty bad things happening, so we better not be limited now. It basically just dealt with the many small and tricky interactions you'd have when there is no longer any law, and people try to take it for themselves and so on.

22 days now, I'll bump this up after we've had the chance to see it for the first time and we can talk about it then.

Just got the season one plot breakdown in:

And info on first two episodes:

1x01 - Pilot

A highly dysfunctional blended family is forced together when they realize a reported virus is actually the onset of the undead apocalypse.

1x02 - Close, Yet So Far

While Madison struggles to keep Nick from crippling withdrawal, Travis ventures out to find his son before the city of Los Angeles falls.

So definitely wrapping around a family and its struggles so far. I truly hope it goes way beyond that though, just placing a regular family drama into a zombie outbreak setting, and concentrating on just the one family and how they deal with Sally's first date, Tom's infidelity, or Chad's acting-out behaviours, with zombies meanwhile casually scratching at the doors, might get a bit silly. Oh well - I expect there'll at least be tons of action scenes.

Also they have already ordered a second season.

Here's the latest trailer:

Latest "Fear the Walking Dead" Trailer on YouTube

(sorry, not sure how to post a youtube video in a post in this forum).

Haha...yep the suits are all up on this one. Hopefully the writers rebel and at least attempt to give us some decent zombie vs people vs people chaos :3

The atmosphere is really spooky and well done, definitely go watch the video to get a feel for what they have planned for us with this show.

Just a few more days and we can lay down our opinions on this show. From what I read the zombies are fresh and pretty much look like humans still...bearing that in mind, if nobody really knew what was going down at the time - remember many people might be thinking they were looking at sick people who just had rabies or something similar (like they were out of their minds temporarily, but still salvageable given the proper help)...so lads - would you be able to kill this...?

^PATIENT ZERO

Apparently the girl above is "Patient Zero" for this entire outbreak, but looks like we're never going to get the backstory on this :'(

Can you please use spoiler tags!!!!

Brothers! What we do in life...Echoes in Eternity!

Well we already knew Nick was a junkie, waking up to a slaughter. And the stuff on the tinfoil is just me making a joke, not actually part of the plot.

I'm rolling my eyes already and it's only been 15 minutes.

OK, back to watching the pilot.

The rest of the pilot wasn't that bad, but imo things are progressing too slow

Well, the pilot shows

I also don't buy the explanation about the Patient Zero since

I'm still on board but I'll be looking closely at where the show goes and if it's held back intentionally to save budget. ;p

They said they're never going to tell us anyway, so speculate away.

1) Accidentally or deliberately placed in the flu shots.

2) Deliberately placed in the drugs.

3) Somehow something infected a batch of needles, so that both 1) and 2) are inadvertently correct.

4) In your breakfast cereal.

5) In the water supply.

Regardless, only some people get sick though whenever anything happens, while some are always immune.
