You know the old adage about three times being enemy action? Fear the walking dear seems to really like killing minorities.  I mean in an end of the world poo poo like they've got non-white people would definitely suffer disproportionately at first but god drat man. Also LET THE OUR TROOPS  BEGIN!.  Seriously, its gonna be hilarious.

The troops are going to start executing uninfected people at some point nazi death camp style. The old El Salvador dude is going to see it coming a mile away from his time avoiding death squads in the old country. I think that was what he was thinking when he saw the soldiers spraying a big X on the house at the end.

Incidentally that X they were spraying was a something various search & rescue people are trained to do to mark homes after a major catastrophe, showing in different quadrants the date, who searched, casualty & injury count and notes of hazards in the facility.

Whats going to happen now that the national guard is involved or were they army/marines/airforce? The CDC should start broadcasting instructions to "care for" the dead? This isn't hurricane katrina lets get some FEMA up in here. If the people were educated just a little bit about dealing with the dead/dying/wounded this could be wrapped up in a couple weeks like that ebola thing on that dark continent was. Probably easier than ebola since you have to get bit. Oh I just remembered the problem that even if you are healthy and die you still turn, but thats ok we can work with that. Everyone carry a .22 and pop a round in anyone that is recently dead or if you see yourself driving off a cliff do us a favor before you hit the bottom.

I'm guessing the season finale will be the army losing to zombies and one of them saying "we are on our own now" and the drug kid saying "we always were."

So either a show where white people get killed doesn't have enough minorities (Walking Dead) or it's a show with the cast consisting of mostly minorities then the complaint is, Oh my god they really love killing minorities? Can't we have a thread where people don't make idiotic statements like this? I mean the majority of the zombies at this point have been white. Zombie in the house was white, zombie punk chick was white, zombie hospital guy was white, both zombies during the riot were white.

Likewise Travis' truck pulling up in plain view from ground level, yet somehow they couldn't interdict him before he got inside and assaulted by zombie. Either they were next door and should've been able to run or yell out the front window, or they were in a rear neighbor's house and would not have had that view of the truck.

I think the issue was more, Hey lets not run out of the front of the house screaming because there may or may not be more of the infected outside. I mean the brother was the only one with enough sense to say, hey guys lets not point flashlights out of the window.

I'm glad that the new wife/gf or whoever seems to have wizened up that no, you can't bring those people back. It's becoming increasingly ridiculous that Travis continues to think the zombies will somehow snap out of it after he's seen multiple zombies just keep coming after people even when they are shot full of holes. I really liked the sequence where they drove past the hospital/drove through the hills and saw the power slowly going out across the city. That was a nice bit of cinematography. I do think it's beginning to hit it's stride, but there are still problems.

I'm now realizing that The Walking Dead received a lot of its tension from Rick being a figure of authority who is called upon to do his duty and be a protector/hero in very trying circumstances. Rick was proactive whereas these characters in FTWD are passive, clueless and contradictory and the keenest among them (the junkhead) is dragged down by the ineffectual rest. They are just the sort of people in need of a Rick.

I'm kind of enjoying this show against my better judgment. Yeah people are doing some dumb poo poo, but a good chunk of that dumb poo poo is believable. I laughed at that backyard maze though. What, the old Asian couple were running a grow-op or something? I mean I guess if they've lived there for years and years as the "She watched the kids when they were little" dialog says it's understandable their little backyard garden thing could have grown and become a mess over time, sticking in an extra trellis here or there to get more tomato growing space (I'm assuming it was some kind of vegetable garden). But that and whatever reason they had for going through the backyard instead of around the front could just use a line of dialog to explain it, because this show is not competent enough to give implications and stuff reliably enough for viewers to understand without explicit explanations. Or when Alicia was freaking out about Matt, it seems the obvious response would be "Susan was an old lady, taking lots of medicine daily. Matt's a healthy strong young man, he'll fight the illness off, and his parents are taking care of him." given that nobody should know it has a 100% mortality rate. I also find it pretty funny that within a page or two of people feeling the cast have too much knowledge of zombies (a criticism I kind of agree with, or at least that they're inconsistent about it) there's also loads of unhappiness because they're trying not to kill zombies, meaning they don't know enough. From their perspective they know that people get this sickness and become violent and very tough, and at least some people think the dead aren't staying that way, but why the hell would that translate into "Slaughter every last one of them on sight" at this stage? The authorities have clearly learned that lesson but they've also clearly been covering everything up. Things have only been going to poo poo for a day or two, and I know us goons have all spent a lot of personal time theorycrafting the zombie apocalypse, but to the characters there's no reason at all to think this is incurable, just that it's very weird and dangerous. I can totally understand why they would refuse to kill anyone sick like this if they didn't absolutely have to. Remember that Madison straight lied to the military woman about the burial plot, which I read as being because she thinks Dad will be looking at a murder rap or something. In a universe with no zombie media, zombies would be an incredibly bizarre thing to comprehend, a total Outside Context Problem. I am interested to see what happens next given that the military seems to have responded pretty drat effectively.

Say what you will about the characters doing dumb poo poo, but the show is really capturing the feel of a society collapsing. That scene with the hospital on fire surrounded by sharpshooters laying waste to zombie patients escaping was chilling.

I also agree that they have to have a 'leader' of this group sooner rather than later, but I'm guessing that won't happen until the last episode of the season.

The show is entertaining because the setting is entertaining. The concept of zombies is pretty dumb if you think too much about it but that shouldn't mean that the characters also have to be dumb. Mum already saw two undead, one of which she had to kill herself with a fire extinguisher. She saw her neighbor attack a girl/woman right across the street and she still doesn't tell her daughter what is going on? Worse than that, they all keep acting like that didn't just happen right across the street? And stop flashing lights out of the loving window, are you deliberately trying to lure the undead in? In fact turn off all the lights, and look for a fire poker god drat it, you should all be locked in a room upstairs while you wait. Death squad survivor guy is the only one that knows what's up, shame that he can't make it alone and like it or not will be dependent on the dumb bleeding heart dad. At least the mum is dumb but has some balls, his bellyaching almost got a man killed.

I like Daniel's character, and think his attitude is believable. My father taught at an inner city school that got a lot of refugee students that came to the US after things like civil wars, Chernobyl, Rwandan genocide, etc. Students around my age were hardened as poo poo from their experiences. I remember I was visiting, and my dad had to give a student detention. He just shrugged and said 'I spent a year and a half in a POW camp. That's nothing.' From meeting a lot of refugee students, I really think his attitude is bspot-on for that type of experience, not only willing to off the zombie without hesitation, but also his hesitance to go with his daughter's opinion that they should stick with Travis/Madison et al. Though I really think Travis won't last long, since he was all upset about Daniel teaching Chris how to work the shotgun, and talking Madison out of offing the zombie neighbor.
