The Walking Dead - AMC TV Series (spoilers everywhere)

Fuck this show.

When does season 6 start?

Every time I miss an episode I think that I've finally kicked, but I know I'll be torrenting the fuck out of this tonight.

cant wait for 'fear the walking dead' because we all know the a prequel explanation of what happened only makes us enjoy the thing after even more.

morning lol.

What did the world look like as it was transforming into the horrifying apocalypse depicted in "The Walking Dead"? This spin-off set in Los Angeles, following new characters as they face the beginning of the end of the world, will answer that question.

I am literally poised to find out the answer to this question.

have you not heard of spoilers ffs

Suprisingly (well, not really...) really little happened for a season finale, but it still was one of the better episodes this season. Actually, this has been one of the best seasons imo, together with the first one. Or maybe I'm just so used to shitty seasons that this one seems relatively great, dunno.

But for the love of god... Please kill off that priest guy asap. Most annoying character in the shows history.

Not a spoiler. I left out a key piece of info.

I feel like that kid is the TV walking dead universe analogue to Kenny's mentally challenged kid from the Telltale WD game. 2/10 would not rescue character.

the priest and the kid should dock and implode this show from within so we won't have to watch it.

lol

As much as I hate the original show, I have to say that this looks a lot better. It actually looks like... stuff happens.

Yeah looks fun. Is it a one off series? Looks like it would work well as like a 6 episode series

I agree, this could be good!

Also, they knicked Chelsea Wolfe for the trailer music from that Game of Thrones trailer. Seems to work.

Yeah, that would be great. Just like Dead Set. It actually looks more like a movie than a tv-show - at least compared to original The Walking Dead show.

But hey, the first episode of The Walking Dead was good and had diverse settings. The next 800 episodes didn't. So the first episode of Fear the Walking Dead might end up being awesome and the next 800000 episodes might just take place in a forest.

From 'pedia:

The pilot episode was filmed in Los Angeles and the remaining first season episodes will be filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Anyway, it has a chance to be decent as it was reportedly written in full by Kirkman and Dave Erickson (writer for Sons Of Anarchy, who will be the showrunner). Probably Kirkman's not that good - comics tend to drag on as much as the TV series and he wrote a couple of episodes too, but he's still an outsider to TV and has an opportunity to set up a sort of consistent long form.

toplel

It is only 7 episodes. I am happy with that.

And yes, it did look like a movie trailer that I wanted to watch

the spinoff is even worse. poor Calvin, Kirkman hates him some minority characters huh

I'll never understand why TV writers think petulant teens and domestic bickering make for compelling drama. Overall that felt like a shitty midseason episode of the main show.

didnt think it was that bad i guess they are aiming for a degree of realism then being completely overkill

Well I suppose that had to use the "hey look an average US family doing normal shit" angle for the first episode.

Then "OMG ZOMBZZZZZZZ but as a family we still have our own internal battles to face" for the next 6 weeks.
