Fear the Walking Dead Discussion

I watched it.

On now. Anyone else tuned in?

Yep... pretty sure it's the crazy son killing people.

It is alright, but they need to get Ruben Blades featured more often; maybe even consider if he can be a more important character than Madison. The episode that featured Daniel was so much better.

Saw Dayton Callie was added to the show in a commercial, I like him as an actor. Stopped watching FTWD after season 1 or so... didn't really catch me.

Has it gotten better?

Significantly. Drug lords, militias, Native Americans with long hair. It's spun up pretty well.

FTWD picked up steam a while back and seems to be staying strong. It was a slow build IMO. Where they are now is pretty interesting story line. I have always hated the slow profile panning shots of Madison to build some sort of effect. It's very corny to me. She struggles to display emotion in her face when she acts. As does the girl playing her daughter on the show but dayum is she smoking hot!

Yes...The only thing I can add to what kut said is they got American Indians now....And they ain't planning payback with a casino.....I can't wait and I hope to see one walker reanimate while buried neck deep in an ant hill.....

I almost gave up on this last season as well finally after watching from the start! All I can say is wow, this season is fantastic and almost more exciting than the regular walking dead. You know that the current area in FTWD is where most of us would go anyways, it's awesome!

 

[indiucky]

Best mid season finale of any of TWD franchise.....

Hey Kut, I told you Madison had a back story.....And it's patricide.....

 

[jbombelli]

This has been a really good season.

This has been a really good season.

In FWD it's like Kirkman matured and studied what it would really be like in this situation....No CGI tigers, Katana wielding Amazons, folks with "W"s carved on their forehead, Zen Master Kung Fu Taoists, old west sheriffs (complete with 6 inch Python in 4 inch holster), redneck crossbow shooters, folk singing farmers daughters, battered mousy wife's morphing in to Boudicca and head dropping villains in leather jackets that whistle and take more wives than Brigham Young.....

Just real people trying to get by in a world gone mad......Excellent show...


And I like what the real commodity is going to be in that part of the world...Water......

Youre not a comic guy, 'eh Indiucky? Kirkman didn't grow up, he just adjusted to the medium. Realistic rarely translates well in comics, hence why the outlandish characters and stories. And the outlandish portions of comic books are often seen as cheesy in film/movies, do often they look to make them more believable.

That's how I saw it....He even said by there being no comic book he was going to have more freedom regarding story arc....I think you're spot on..."Matured" was probably a poor word choice by me...I was trying to say what you said but took twice as long lol...

I can't wait until they get to Strand's back story....There is more to that man than his shallow vain persona puts forth.....(And that dude can act!!! The scene with him talking to the Cosmonaut was powerful and probably as close as we have gotten to seeing the "real" Strand in the show.....) I honestly don't even know who Strand is...Three seasons in and I still think what we are seeing is an act.....Looking forward to part two.....

FTWD has become the better show. IF it had a Carol or Daryl or Glen, it would be a MUCH better show.

 

[Fordtough25]

At this point I am enjoying ftwd much more than twd, can't be,I've I'm saying it but it's true!! Wow just wow!!!

 

[indiucky]

So I avoided INGO all day Monday so to not be tempted to hear what happened on the opener of the second half of the season...I come on here this morning and there is nothing!!!!

Victor and Madison, as I predicted to Kut a page or two ago had a very tender moment...Not romantic but true affection....It's good to see the team is getting back together and I can't wait to see how the folks who control the damn and the ranch people come together or not...I like the role water is playing in FWD...No water is a bigger fear than walkers and rightly so...Madison's children are maturing....Seeing the Junkie grow up and do what he needs to do for his family and community (as I predicted) has been a joy as well....

Excellent show....Those that may have passed on it should give it another look IMHO....It's really morphed in to a very well written and wonderful show..

 

[Alpo]

TWD has jumped the shark imho. I hated the Negan episodes. If the world is left to dumbass tacticians like Rick.....
If Carol and Darryl don't make it, the show is dead.
FTWD is more interesting.

You did. But I think we may disagree on the junkie kid. He has good intentions, but he's not nearly as smooth as his mother at manipulating people. He and the White Power Militia were a hair's breadth away from being turned into mince meat.

He's young and with Madison and Victor's tutelage he will turn in to a [video=youtube;4TYv2PhG89A]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TYv2PhG89A[/video]

.....Daughter is surprising me....She has her mom's skill but with a heart...Madison should have popped dirt floor cracka brother when she had the chance...
