TV: Fear The Walking Dead

[Blender]

Season 2 was horrible. Second half was a little better but still had some real stupidity in it.

I will give this one episode a chance to win me back, better be amazing. Interesting but mediocre so far.

 

[The Night King]

The biggest problem is this show has done nothing different than the original. The first few seasons of Walking Dead were great, but we really don't need to see it again. And given FTWD is making a lot of the same mistakes as current TWD (moving the plot forward with stupid and unrealistic decisions by characters), it's hard to like it. Strand is the only consistently great character. Alicia is ok. Nick is hit and miss. Travis has his moments but that goes both ways. Madison is quite possibly the worst character the franchise has had.

I can't understand why they didn't go a different route. It should have looked at the military and governments response to the apocalypse. At the very least, abandoning the boat so fast was awful. Strand abandoning the oraganized crime persona for a mourning lover was not a great decision either.

I'll watch at least part of this season. It takes me a lot to abandon a show but I quit Suits which I was far more invested in so I can quit this.

And tonight they seem to be doing another Terminus style storyline. Except these guys don't appear to be cannibals.

One of these military guys looks very familiar.

The prisoner who helps them and just got killed is from Band of Brothers.

Pretty good so far.

 

[The Night King]

What??!!

 

[Blender]

Travis is dead.

 

[wedge]

Oh... surprise death...

 

[The Night King]

How do you kill a character after he just became cool... In a cold open no less.

I don't think he ever really worked as a character. Not sad to see him go.

 

[The Night King]

Never really liked his character much either, but still surprising.

Is Madison pretending to be upset there?

Edit: Never mind, she was just trying to act composed around her daughter.

 

[Blender]

Probably a better episode than all of season 2 combined.

I think they want her to be like Rick. She even gave a Rick speech at the end about taking the place over.

 

[Warden of the North]

Season 2 was so bad. I'm officially done with the show. Walking dead is really becoming a pain in the ass to watch too...hopefully they end it after the next season.

....bye?

Not a chance Travis is actually dead. Salazar is going to save him. Guaranteed. He was likely responsible for the shooting of the helicopter, or knew the people who did.

This show is way too predictable. The young guy saying something along the lines of "There's no way he could have survived a fall like that" just gave it away.

He was shot in the neck and stomach, and fell from a height no one can reasonably survive.

You just watch. If you don't see a body, it's very likely they didn't actually kill the character off. It's typical in these shows.

Until I see a body, I don't believe he's dead. I hope he is, but he's not.

I looked it up, and apparently Kim Dickens, the actress that plays Madison was asked whether he was confirmed dead or not, and she played dumb, so....

 

[Danko]

Thought the two episodes were way better then anything they've done so far. I actually started to like Travis finally.

He's dead. They played the in memoriam video for him on Talking Dead.

I think they did the same for Glenn when he fell off the dumpster.

This will be so much worse if Travis is alive though.

You sure? I thought they did.

Nope, they didn't. Admittedly I had to search online to remember but they didn't.

Same reason Salazar should be making a return soon. He never had an "In Memoriam" video.

Travis is totally dead, though.

 

[Pyromaniac]

Travis dying was a bit of a surprise but for all the time they spent developing that character they could have given him a better death IMO. Anyway not sure I will continue watching the show. Nick and Madison just bug the hell out of me.

I am not sure why the point was of Strand playing doctor and the random woman I can't remember jumping out of the window. Seems like that time could have spent doing better things.
