First episode was slow, I'm not sure what everyone was expecting. They aren't going to outline the prequel of events by running away from a zombie horde in the first 15 minutes of the show.
I didn't care for the first hour of the show but the last 1/2 hour was ok. Should move along much more this week.

I guess I'm in the minority, but I enjoyed it. I liked it too. Then again, I watch every terrible horror movie I come across.

Did anyone catch this? I thought it was OK but who knows for the other 5 episodes. A little over acted but nice to see that sexy Kim Dickens in a main role since Deadwood. I think... didnt she play the madam who ran the brothel in Sons of Anarchy also?

Unless i already missed it, but i want them at least explain what caused the outbreak. I imagine it to start at a KFC, no way the SAR's of the world could do this!

SPOILER ALERT If they follow the TWD "canon", we all carry the... whatever it is...zombie virus...that causes reanimation after death, so even dying of natural causes, you come back. I dont know if this prequel will really go into "what caused it" because I dont know if Kirkman's figured that out himself yet How could everyone on the planet wind up infected with some dormant virus, if youre trying to explain it scientifically?

It would have to come from an evolutionary theory that humanity has a built in extinction clock pre programed into the genetic code. Since mankind is the most harmful creature to the planet the thesis that nature would have a self destruct button built into us wouldn't be the wildest thing to imagine. Still fucking crazy but it makes you think...
Or it could be a god like entity saying fuck you, I like to think the later
Edit:
Last nights episode peeked my interest in this show. Could be really good and has that feeling that shit is going to hit the fan really bad next week

Watched the 2nd episode last night
I know this is supposed to be a slow burn, but I watch The Walking Dead to see a show about zombies. Not some fucking teenage junky.

Flu shots...just my theory.

Im enjoying watching the slow breakdown of society... the people slow to believe whats going on becoming walker meals... the riots and looting that would inevitably happen because the people wouldnt yet understand the cops have to shoot the walkers in the head to stop them. I hear there's going to be yet another online and during-commercial companion story about an outbreak on a plane headed presumably to LA.

In an early episode of the walking dead when they were at the CDC the last remaining doctor told Rick everybody carries whatever it is so it's supposed to line up with the book cannon.
I thought I read or heard one of the creators talking about how they never intend to explain what exactly people have or where it came from. So if you're watching fear the walking dead for that reason you'll probably be disappointed.

Yeah, i dont see a happy ending with the book or the tv series. The world is fucked, and everyone's just fighting to live another day.

Anybody else notice that they only created three black main characters so far and killed them all off in the first 2 episodes?
32 is gonna be pissed.
I think.
