Fear The Walking Dead

And I have a feeling junkie boy is gonna be the new Carl.

Nah, he's already got a grasp of what the "virus" really is, most of the others except "papa" are not really sure. That guy really does remind me of a young Depp.

Mamma definitely has leader potential. The junkie kid has demonstrated the most street smarts out of any of them so far.

Spoiler

Foreshadowing when papa Salazar called Travis weak? Will he have the strength to put his wife down if she turns?

I'd bet she gets sick next week, and the military takes her away.

I liked the shot of the passenger plane losing control...that has to be the plane they're gonna feature in the 'special' episode being made.

So did I, great shot that catches your attention right away. I'm really liking this show.

So they spent the entire night in the house and never bothered to put on the TV, turn on a radio or get on an iphone or ipad and try to find out what's going on? At the very least, off air signals or rampant news reports would have added to the mystery and suspense of what was happening. Honestly, I thought last night's episode was a bit weak. Weak writing, IMO. And I don't like the fact they are stuck in the city on lockdown now. Really makes me wonder what direction they are going to take this show.

Is that bad or something?

I thought them driving up the hill while watching all of Los Angeles go dark was the best scene of the episode.

Rioters celebrating with walkers right there in their midst was also pretty chilling.

I liked how the father and the neighbor were taking out the garbage on trash day!

Also, I'm surprised none of the neighbors have been communicating.. especially about the bloody bouncy house across the street.

Ok, this show is starting to get to me. First, everyone in the street is looting and blowing up cars, yet the big white truck sits untouched save for a cracked windshield? Then, a woman who has seen how to kill these things gets scared of 1 walker heading to her house. So not only does she run from the 1 walker but she leaves the door open? Then a guy who saw a shot teenager get run over twice and still get up, a cop eating someone in the street, be surprised and try and talk to his neighbor who is in his living room eating a dog. After all of that is going to get mad when the guy that saved him shows his son how to protect him self.

Yes the dad is definitely the most annoying guy of the group. Who does he think he is, Batman? "No gunz!1!! Where's the desert, where IZ IT?!??"

And good point about spending the night in a house with on again/off again electricity. Even back in the original Night of the Living Dead they knew to keep the bloody TV on. The radio in the pickup truck announced a state of emergency in 11 states. That means *39* states were assumedly functioning and capable of broadcasting updates on the national emergency.

Someone knocking down and chewing on a cop is common these days.

I would really like to comment more about the riot scenes, but I won't.

No, not bad. Just a different direction than I envisioned it.

Great scene. With the exception of some surprisingly shoddy green-screen work there, I thought that whole sequence might be the best thing they've done on that show overall. So eerie.

Also, the shot of the neighbor's feet under the door ... SUPER creepy.

I love that detail of putting out the trash. Like if they just keep to their regular routines .... everything's going to be fine ...

Although it did bug me that nobody seemed at all fussed about the fact that the guy they brought into their house the night before TOTALLY SHOT THEIR NEIGHBOR IN THE FACE! IN THEIR HOUSE!

I like it, but the show is frustrating me a little because the characters don't really seem to be processing any of what they're seeing or doing. They just keep going back and forth. They take huge steps into "holy crap" territory ... like seeing a guy blast the face off their neighbor (who was eating a dog in their living room). Or watching their son/step-son totally RUN OVER his childhood friend three times! Or straight up murdering her boss (as far as she knew at that point) ... only to snap back and be pretty okay with things emotionally. It just feels like some of these big events are out of order. Seems like the show should have built more gradually toward them witnessing or doing these kinds of big things. It doesn't make a lot of emotional sense to me at this point. They should have allowed the characters become increasingly panicked, in my opinion. Let them really process each event as they happen and let that keep building. (Without really knowing about the virus, from their perspective, HALF of the members of this family have already committed murder by the end of the second episode.) Nobody is as panicked and freaked out by what they've seen OR DONE as they should be at this point. They all seem worried, but not panicked. They're all a little too comfortable in this apocalypse.

I liked the shot of the passenger plane losing control...that has to be the plane they're gonna feature in the 'special' episode being made.

That's exactly what I was thinking. I really hope that is the "crossover" point. That would be very cool. There was a shot of a plane in the last episode, too, that I thought might be the one, but it was a lot more subtle than this one.

Well what I mean is that you saw how he acted when his mom told him she gave the rest of the pills to the old lady. Looked like he was about to cry. Then he wanders off at the end to break into people houses. I'm willing to bet he'll disappear lots instead of "staying in the house" to go find his next fix.

The father, Travis is still in denial about everything. That's what's really crazy to me. Your neighbor is eating a dog in your living room, and you're going to approach him like a rational person.

Herschel was still in denial months after the outbreak.
