I watched it. I've posted before about the original show. How I stopped watching either last season or two seasons ago. When the show became darker and started killing off token characters and characters just for shock value.

With Fear the Walking Dead, it's a fresh start so I liked the slow, building character stuff. This is before the outbreak so everything is normal and we get to see how it happens. Unlike with Walking Dead how everything is almost immediately after the aftermath of the outbreak. I found it funny how the drug addict is the first to see the zombie. That teaser hooked me. How he's running for his life. Also how a shooting makes it's way around the Internet and it's questioned whether or not it's real.

Slept during most of the middle part. I doubt this is a show for me.

I loved that bit also. I can see that actually happening with today's society (if a zombie apocalypse were to actually happen). Back in the old days people were easy to convince that War of the Worlds was real. But with today's technology and effects, people are used to seeing the impossible appear real, so instead of being too easy to convince we're now harder to believe in the supernatural.

So when's the next episode? Feels like it's been about a week now.

Yeah I found the elements of how the modern human reacts to this going on one of the more interesting parts of the show...even if I was kind've eye rolling at them.

I am wondering if the kid that bought the knife to school will make it out alive, there's never really been a survivalist or "subject matter expert" nerd on the main title, could be interesting to see where he goes, if he makes it off that bus.

I don't know about where you are, cheebs, but here in the States it airs every Sunday night.

Oh, I don't wait for it to come here, we're ridiculously delayed, I just torrent absolutely everything I want to try and watch...so, your sunday = my monday, cool. Not too long to get it.

Maybe I'm just seeing too much around the Internet. But a lot of people seem to carry knives and lighters as every day items. Perhaps it's just because of today's world. When I grew up you would only take a few needed things in your pockets. These days people carry bags full of stuff. They might be more prepared for zombies than the people in this show.

Don't forget to yell at those kids on your lawn. ::big grin::

Episode 2 "So Close, Yet So Far" This was better than the pilot. I thought the opening scene was properly tense. I liked the zombie attack in the school as well. The protest turning into a riot was pretty cool. Hopefully this show keeps improving.

Episode 3 "The Dog" This episode was an improvement on the previous two although it was a bit slower in the second half. I thought the riot scenes were really tense. Kind of funny watching a family play board games as the world falls apart around them. Seeing the hospital in chaos was wild and I think it makes sense as that would be one of the first places to fall. That poor German Shepherd. The gore in the scene where the barber shoots the zombie in the face twice with the shotgun looked fantastic. I thought "Good people are the first ones to die" was a great line. Wasn't expecting to see the military show up when they did.
