Fear The Walking Dead-episode 1

[Hand of Evil]

All I see them as is future walkers.

Yea, mom#1 telling the survivalist kid that they had enough food and him loosing his stash. Guess we will see them robbing him soon.

The only name I remember is Tobias, the kid that was getting the food at the school.

That kid was pretty well spot on for knowing it was a zombie apocalypse. Maybe he was a nod to "somebody knows they are a zombie movie"

It was dumb that after hauling that cart, they left it after taking out the zombie principal.

It is also puzzling how the principal got bit, given that he was in what appeared to be a largely isolated and empty facility.

Another annoying trait is how these morons simply do not take the time to explain to anybody, even their own family about what they've seen and why they are rushing to get home or to stay away from the windows.

How hard is it to say:
people are getting sick in a bad way
then those sick people turn feral and attack
those sick people seem to ignore any injury
Stay away from anybody who looks infected
We saw it happen.

I didn't even use the Z word. 5 simple clear sentences that cover the credibility and basic concerns.

Kid is a doomsday prepper, possible 2012 end of the world person (Mayan Calendar).

It would have been a better story to have the show focusing on the CDC trying to figure it out and containing it and failing from government pettiness and red tape. A Katrina story line to a degree.

Anyone still watching?

Last night, Sept 13, 2015 -- much the same dumb characters but we have at least one realist in the group now, figure that will be alpha male conflict later. Druggie still needs to die a horrible death.

Interesting that the whole family dynamic has backups, two wifes, two sons, one daughter but now have another family with an extra.

They should have told the army of the wounded woman for medical care.

Yup. I still want that druggie kid to die.

Peace-hippy Travis the Dad is going to die and/or get people killed. He's seen several zombies and what it takes to kill them and objects to his teenager learning how to use a gun. The time for "No More Hurting People" is past.

It does seem like all these people suffer from information sharing disorder.
a) tell the army you need a medic for the woman who's ankle was crushed (the army should have insisted on laying eyes one these people for headcount).
b) tell everybody in the group what they each saw/know so they all can know that people are turning rabid, and don't seem to die except from a headshot

I predict the old mother with the bad leg is going to die and go rabid on somebody. Some new in-home hijinx will ensue.

Couldn't make it through the second episode. All that I see are the same stupid decisions by characters, that are making it likely that I'll stop watching the original too.

I'm trying to figure out why the druggie son, after returning to his own home (long enough to play a game of Monopoly with mom and sis) still hasn't opted to change out of the old-man clothes he stole from the hospital and into his own clothes. Heck, sis had time to change into her shorty-shorts outfit before the attempted drive out to the desert.

I'm still watching it and unlike most folks in this discussion,still enjoying it. But then again given that I have no real issue with the basic conceit that there never was Romero or any zombies and thus no "hey this is just like..." talk or maybe I'm just crazy...who knows lol

It's not about that. At least not for me. The idea of hitting a reset on the zombie meme is something that I find appealing. What I find hard to watch are the continual idiotic decisions that people in these shows make, if they are actually trying to survive.
