Fear the walking dead -spoilers

[RU2055]

Why stop at national? This is a global pandemic. (Spoiler: the characters can't know the extent of the pandemic so we can see their shock and dismay when they can't find safety!) This gets back to my criticism that is was just a rip-off / cash-in from TWD's popularity. The end of season 2 (21 episodes) is supposed to take us to the point where Rick awakened from his coma on The Walking Dead. Do we really learn anything that we didn't (eventually) learn from the original series? The community where they were herded to in the 1st season was similar to what happened in Alexandria. The Mexican mansion in season two is Jesse's farm. Despite being conscious for the entire time, the characters will know about what Rick knew after the first season. This is The Walking Dead with different people in a different area of the country.

Pandemics start somewhere. Where did this begin? How is it spread? In 2003, SARS started in China, reached the US in about 40 days and Europe in about 100. Even if we accelerate that model, it would still take months to spread across the globe. I think they wanted to remain focused on this one group in order to not have to explain where, when, and how.

You want them to try and explain how it all went down? Ha ha. That's impossible. The whole premise of the show is silly. Zombies that are dumb as a rock and move slower than my 90 year old grandmother supposedly took over the world. Earth to common sense - there are more bullets than people. The idea that these zombies somehow over powered a machine gun nest or a tank is just ridiculous. But hey, I don't watch it to make sense of it - I just watch it cause it's good drama - TWD anyway. Fear suck hoover vacuum cleaner.

Now if we're talking 28 Days Later or World War Z - that's more realistic.

that's always bugged me too. unless they explain that live people turn via airborne virus, and our survivors are all just carriers. that's the only way the military could be defeated by zombies.

On talking dead one of the actors had an interesting comment about Chris. He was wondering if Chris becomes a villian. We never seen how someone really becomes a villian in TWD. Maybe this will be a different twist. He was just speculating, but would be interesting if true.

Are you serious? Rick's entire crew are villains. All they do is kill and take property away from ppl. If you really think about it they are as villainous as people they come across. They ran up on Herschel took his farm. They took the prison from the prisoners. They pretty much took over the place that they are in now.

Not really...they integrated with Herschel at the farm. Maggie is apart of their crew now. They didn't take over the farm, they were contributing members of the farm, had the conflict with the dead in the barn. They went into the prison, and were attacked by criminals and actually befriended the "good" ones until the Governor attacked.... They also took in Abraham's bunch, and Tyreese/Sasha...And they took in the priest guy who if they were villains could have killed him and taken his church. They've only killed people who have tried to kill them....

Each one of those places you mentioned they were asked to leave and refused with force. You've been glamoured.

You are going too far here. At the prison, for example, they were the ones who let the inmates out of the pantry where they were locked up. The group did the work to clear it. Why would a bunch of inmates have any property rights (essentially) to their prison? If the one guy did not try to get Rick killed, maybe they all could have shared parts of the prison.

Herschel may have wanted the group to leave for a while, but he clearly did not see the group as villains later. He gave Glenn his blessing to marry Maggie!
