FEAR THE WALKING DEAD // SPOILER ALERT

Supposed to be the same event. I believe it's supposed to kind of show how the whole thing got started.

I just read an online review and they said they are going to take some time building the story. They made it sound like the first couple of episodes show everyone reacting as if its a traditional pandemic (if there is such a thing), like a new flu strain. If they do it right, it could be pretty cool to see a relatively normal survival/protection scenario turn into a nightmare.

My guess is that it's going to start out MUCH slower than the previews make it seem. They need to slowly build the story-line or risk running parallel to The Walking Dead very quickly and then it's just two versions of the same show. The previews seem intense and that's how they land their audience but don't be surprised if what you've seen actually takes the whole season of episodes to reach. For those that don't recall, the first season of The Walking Dead was painfully slow but built up nicely and there were already zombies. This is the story BEFORE there were zombies so I'm going into it expecting a lot more slow build over several episodes but I think that, if done properly, this actually has the potential to be more interesting than The Walking Dead was in the first season or two. The sheer unknown being played out in characters they build could lead to some intense scenes of ignorance and stumbling into dire situations that you and I may already know about but think of how people would actually react to a zombie outbreak before it was a full on epidemic. There would be a LOT of denial and skepticism and that's after the initial wave of unknown. I'm excited for this and I like how things look just based on the brief previews I've seen. Buckle up, this ride could get interesting. Just don't expect an explosion of excitement the first episode or two.

It follows the time line (or close to) when Rick was in the hospital. I know the pop. up here is 275K ish, surrounding areas included. I couldn't imagine having to get out of town after week 2, in a place like L.A.

I really hope that's the case. I was worried that it was going to be normal suburbia one moment, full blown zombie apocalypse the next.

I like when things build slowly with little warnings as time progresses. On the other hand, I still think the opening sequence to "The Last of Us" is my favorite onset to a zombie apocalypse.

You don't happen to know where I can find/watch "The Last of Us", do you?

It's a video game.

Oh. Never mind. Thanks.

Does look like like they are making a movie based off the game. With Arnold Shwartzeneger playing the lead role.
