I hope Chris hardwick does a brief episode recap and just takes a sh*t on the table. End of talking dead episode.

 

I will admit to being a bit underwhelmed BUT I do think that since this season started out in an entirely new locale there needed to be some time spent in setting up this new season. Also, in season one finale we were not really left with a "oh no what is going to happen next" type place.

But yes, I do believe that it will be amped up in the coming episodes

 

The music was similar to the Governor's theme, so it must be an antagonist.

 

Underwhelmed is a good description, and I agree that there was needed setup for the rest of the season. At least they left us with some intrigue!

 

Nick is 19 exactly. The two yahoos are about 17 (Alicia) and 15 (Chris).

 

My issue is that the characters make horrible decisions, many many horrible decisions. None of them are really likable, some are tolerable. I get that it is the ZA but I need some of this to be believable. Have the characters actions seem logical.

 

At this point in time it is logical. They still barely know what's going on. They have no clue what to expect.. or how to react.

 

agree to disagree.

and they listen to Stran because no one else knows how to drive a yacht

 

The group in the beginning of the ZA were being detained in a safe zone with the military having control of pretty much all their movements, there was no need for the group to make any decisions about survival because again the military was making these decisions for the civilians.

It is not until they leave at the end of season 1 and reach Strand's house that they are forced to make any decisions regarding the best plan of action, how to survive, etc. It has only been a few hours since leaving El Cerita (or whatever that neighborhood was called), not exactly a great deal of time to learn the ropes of surviving and thinking on your feet in the ZA

 

I'm okay with everyone other than the two moody brats. They can even be blamed for most of the adults' shenanigans. They do have the excuse of being kids, but most people find kids irritating under normal circumstances. In the zombie apocalypse, they need to get with the program. Their teen angst is going to get someone hurt or killed.

 

Listening to Dave Erickson discuss the show is so different than listening to Scott Gimple discuss TWD. Erickson seems to be so serious and a bit more reserved

 

I think they will end up getting someone killed. I think one of them will die but I hope it changes the other for the better and hopefully s/he grows up from it

 

He actually answers the questions.

 

Oh believe me, I am not complaining! I certainly appreciate the depth in which he answers and even more so I appreciate that he does not "answer" every question with some cryptic BS. And while I like Scott Gimple, that cryptic shit is getting a bit old and worn....a new schtick is needed

 

I like Gimple as well. Mostly in online interviews, I think any other TWD EP is better on TTD

 

I appreciate the show for what it is and it can't be compared to The Walking Dead. I don't find it to be as exciting nor am I invested in the characters yet but that's partially because we've only barely begun to see them. Their starting point is so different from TWD too, so it's necessary cut them some slack for their "stupid" actions.

"I question if anyone that's bad thinks they're bad." I LOVE STRAND AND THIS ACTOR!

I think that is one of the reasons I really like this show...is that the tone is so different from TWD

 

Don't get me wrong I'm obsessed with TWD TV comics and all. But I am so into fear. I love that it has a different feel and vibe. I'm interested into see how the people react and develope, who is going to break and who is going to get stronger. I wasn't into it before il saw the premiere.

 

I think Strand should have killed Salazar right off the bat. It would have kept everyone in line and then he would not have needed to bestow his 3 fightclub-like rules upon the rest of his crew mates. They still think it's Ok to question him. it's not. Stand needs to run his ship with an Iron fist. I believe he will torture Alicia for her infraction. I can't wait for next weeks episode. It's going to be vicious.

Thank You~Jay

 

I will say this- I cried a bit when Liza died last season, but not for Jacqui or anyone in the first season of TWD. So long as the writing is consistent, I can see myself coming to love some of these characters. I complain but I already care about them, even the kids. I do want to see how they and the show evolve.
