I don't know why but I really like the sound of them going to mexico

 

Where was the island/land with the airplane crash? I don't know anywhee near these areas that you can find desert like that

 

It was on AMC,didn't you notice the commercials?

 

the less people the better, you have to stay away from the cities and surrounding suburbs

 

Did anybody watch the sneak peek for 2x04? I think they're showing the border patrol, hence the helicopters and the patrol boats. Since the border is apparently shut down, Mexico seems to be intact, or at least somewhat.

 

And Nick was nekkid!!

Kidding aside, that fact alone has me SUPER curious for episode 4. Why is Nick swimming, alone, to shore? Where is everyone else? He was neither pushed nor fell overboard because he has a plastic bag containing what I assume to be clothes for him to put on once he reached the shore.

 

I know of really no where South of LA that looks like that, but that is the likely area where the wreckage of 462 would be found. We last saw it taking a hard Southern bank at relatively high speed north of Santa Monica, presumably attempting to get into LAX.

 

I don't know about that, since the whole border was shut down. The Mexican government may have a handle on this whole thing. At least for now.

 

I guess not. But their may be a good chunk of Mexican society still intact. That's what I'm hoping at least.

Maybe instead the Mexican government was able to secure certain cities/towns along their coast?

 

But If that's the case, I don't see why the US was unable to do the same. Or maybe they have, but we just haven't seen it yet.

 

Maybe he was in the shower, when Jack came aboard. Grabbed the bag and jump overboard.
BTW - He doesn't stay squeaky clean, while on land.

 

Mexico could be fine because they don't have as many weapons and napalm as the US. The government in the ZA is really stupid, if the US didn't bomb anything people would have a way better chance of surviving - walls and buildings would be intact. As we've seen explosions and fire do not kill zombies, so all they accomplished in the US by that was killing more people and creating more zombies and knocking down more walls. If Mexico didn't have that same reaction or resources I imagine the infastructure will be better and amount of zombies will be less.

I have a feeling what FTWD is trying to show us by taking things to Mexico is that the ZA wasn't as bad, it was the human reaction to it that ****ed things up beyond repair. (In this case the US government bombing everything) If they show that Mexico didn't do that and it's a better and safer place, that would once again be driving home the idea that humans have been the real enemy all along, not zombies.

In addition, if the Mexican government didn't have the same resources as the US government, they could have allowed communities to take matters into their own hands more rather than what we saw the US do in Season 1 ie lie to everyone and bail out on them.
