Fear the Walking Dead ping!
Please let me know if you would like on or off the FTWD ping list!
I really tried to like this show as I am a big time WD fan. And there have been a couple of episodes (out of what, 4 seasons now) - and have given it every chance. But the bottom line is the show sucks. The characters suck. The actors suck. The writing sucks. The story lines (to the extent there are any) suck. It just sucks.
Thanks for posting! Have a great weekend!
It is just bad.
Hate to say but I stopped watching this show because I can’t figure out what it’s about. What are these people doing? Are they trying to get to safety? Or what? It’s just not as interesting as TWD is.
I’m actually looking forward to this! I was about to give up on this until the back end of season 2... it has been very very good.
This is the most unlikable cast of characters in zombie history. It even beats Z Nation.
If they had any imagination and creativity, they should have made the spinoff to Walking Dead an anthology series with one to three episode stories with different casts exploring the zombie catastrophe at different times and in different places.
This would make each story unpredictable as the characters would be new and all would be disposable.
Instead, it’s more of the same and just a bore.
Have watched a few of season 2 episode, though AMC makes it hard as they would not leave up the old episodes in any kind f a predictable sequence, hence I missed a few of the first 7 in season 2.
That said here are the defects of season 2 part 1-7:
1)The portion they were on the boat was turning into a “lost in space” kind of show. Each episode was a neat package, yes there was something unresolved but it was kind formulaic.
2) The characters had no larger sense of nobility, a hold over from season 1, so it was hard to pull for them. They were perfectly willing to cause the death of many innocents in season one to give them a chance to get into the military base...frankly after that stunt, they were essentially not folks one could care about.
3) They had to make the Black guy gay. Every show has to have a strong gay character. Kind of sick of it, once again a modern formula.
4) Had it been me the Hispanic son would have had an ass licking, followed by druggy followed by the daughter if she still acted like a valley girl. The fact the step father did not deal with his responsibilities in a real way just made the mess the kids got the group into kind of inevitable.
5) complete disregard for hygiene. They know this virus is transferred by blood, yet they handle body pars without gloves, cover themselves with blood, on the face where it is very possible to get contact with mouth, eyes and nose (through sweat). A level of stupidity beyond that which is reasonable for humans to display and still live.
The second part of the season started strong, with the father having to face his one son was “off” and trying to figure out a way to save him (which we know will not be possibly, eventually he will have to put a bullet in the kid’s head) but they it went to pieces in the following way:
1) why are all the leaders women? Not realistic. The recon chick, the mom with the other group, it just does not match reality, where the groups would coalesce around a strong male figure.
2) The recon chick was pretty hot and she would not go for a sensitive druggy who risked every thing to get a little girl a cupcake. If she did he would be beaten up by a Hispanic guy who figured the girl was his. A lot of male battles are over fertile women and once it was tooth and nail, the strong would take what would be willingly offered to them. Once again the inability to reflect the basic human reality of how humans behave under stress just kills believability.
3) They are still so stupid. The scene in the bar where they get drunk and start playing the piano, the splitting up when they have no idea how many dead are around, the turning on of the lights at the hotel at night, the mom acting out at the gang hang out. I mean really it is just so dumb that the ability to suspend disbelief is pretty much gone.
4) How is it in urban areas there are not that many dead but in the middle of the desert there are lots of them? Just dumb.
5) The druggy was wounded, got badly chewed up by dogs and yet, after covering himself with blood did not pick up the deadly virus. Yet prior when folks got bit they turned in short order. The inability of the series to utilize common rules in this alternative reality once again kill the show.
6) It seems like folks worry more about mommy and daddy issues then surviving. Once again stupid and unrealistic.
The show is a mess. Yet I watch it....
I’m not sure how this show continues to be aired. Boring lackluster writing by liberals. I stopped watching it. There is no plot to it, just soap opera style writing.
Excellent Season ending. To all the naysayers who thought that Travis and Nick could never step up, they can’t deny things just got awesome.
and it is back tonight for 2 episodes 2hr 10 min
