FEAR THE WALKING DEAD // SPOILER ALERT

[brutal]

The show tonight was so riveting, that I fell asleep. Don't even know what happened.

Torture, some Zombie "kills" and that damn junkie is still alive.

Non gun dude is still a pussy.

Thanks, Brutal.....I appreciate your concise synopsis on that.

You didn't miss much. I'm giving up on the show next season.

I am completely disappointed with this show. I felt it had so much potential but has been very poorly written so far.

What blows my mind is other than the very first episode with the "nerdy fat student who brought a knife to school", there has not been a single reference to food or supply chain interruptions... In reality, the moment something poses a threat to restocking the shelves or polluting the tap water, food/water insecurity will become the immediate focus of most people, causing some pretty dramatic (and criminal) behavior... That is what I would have expected to see in these first few episodes and it hasn't happened.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Yeah, the reality factor is weak....but it's a show for entertainment.

I'm a little disappointed in the show so far, myself. I think it's still worth giving it a chance though, and seeing where they go with it.

I haven't seen the finale yet, so if anything happened that negates my following input, so be it.

I don't feel that we're viewing a group that has any clue about the long-term nature of this situation. ALMOST everyone/anyone with any foresight as to the seriousness of the situation has already bugged out. We may see them later, we may not.
The characters we are watching likely assume this is a short-term, somewhat isolated incident, and as has been stated above, believe the .gov is on their side.
I believe a lot of this will be fleshed out in the next season (hopefully) or two. Hopefully we will see some in-depth character and story line development as well.
Is it easy to watch? Not really, due to our collective mindset, along with expectations fostered by watching TWD. Makes it hard for us to not scream and throw things at the TV.
I am hopeful it will improve.

Just my two cents.

A yacht that large likely has a desalination system on board.

That episode was a huge let down.

Didn't know that about big yachts.

Interesting, Crays. Good points and we'll see where they go with it.
It might get a bit better than this beginning season.

IF it was balls to the wall season 1. Imagine how disappointed people would be when S2 was a dud, less action. One can always increase the tension, suspense and action. Turning it down for later shows, no way.

This show and the original TWD always did a poor job of concerning itself with water and food. I can kind of excuse FTWD with the military providing rations but still no explanation on the availability of water.

Looks like we're going to get to see our first horde soon. That should be fun.

Meh, this show sucks. I've given it all season only because it's a spin-off of TWD. If it was it's own entity I wouldn't have stayed the whole first episode let alone an entire season. I'll watch the last episode of the season tonight but I'm really not sure why. After the BS I've watched to this point I'm not seeing much they can do in one episode to turn it around. The characters all suck ass. They didn't go into the actual outbreak at all. There was no build up of anything. No making you hate or love any characters at all. I get we're supposed to hate the main military guy and he's the worst guy in the series to this point but... is he? Is he really? Who's the protagonist? Who are we supposed to gravitate towards? All of these characters are helpless liberals without a clue. The only people who had their shit together who stood a chance of bringing everyone together are long gone now and it's just a bunch of chickens running around with their heads cut off and, to me anyway, I'm just as concerned about their well being. Bad acting. Bad dialog. Bad plot. No budget. This, my friends, is a sucky show.
