They are almost to the episode Chris learns to catch a shotgun shell with his face from his new friends on AMC.

I really want to think that this was a fake out, but who knows with this show

If it was a fakeout then I don't know why those dudes would lie while being pummeled to death

Maybe they miss remembered it because they took a nap right after they murdered their last friend who was barely wounded. How were they so unhurt flying out of a truck bed flipping through the air?

I wondered if it was a fakeout because their stories were inconsistent and in actuality they just hosed off and left Chris for dead or something, but tried to hedge their bets by saying 'oh he died in the crash' or 'we mercy killed him' would piss off Travis less somehow than 'We left your son to die alone in the desert with a broken leg'?

Maybe it seems like a fakeout because killing a character 'off camera' is such a weird decision. Then again, all of Chris's storyline was a weird decision. I figured he'd go 'no gently caress you dad' and take up with El Salvidad as his post-apocalypse father figure. Instead we got what we got.

They probably weren't really "flying" out. The truck wasn't going that fast, they probably just fell out, and only fell like five feet

Is there a new thread? Also, the only way the main group looks good is they pit them against the cliche insane military trope.

I was thinking the same thing. I'm like 10-20 mins behind in the episode.

Sir we confirmed when we kill these people they become zombies, I think we found the source.

I haven't seen the episode yet but I am expecting "Insane military trope.. versus even CRAZIER FUCKIN' FAMILY" trope.

Of course it won't be that awesome because AMC will treat them like good guys.

It could be an interesting approach if done right, follow a small cast at first and then watch as they die one by one, and when the last few die all at once we follow the people they were with, or the people who killed them, and have that happen every 1-2 seasons, kind of give it somewhat of an anthology feel.

I had to laugh at the fact that I don't regularly watch Fear, caught like the last 10 minutes of the premiere, clicked away to something else, and when I clicked back Travis was gravely wounded and dead and I had no clue why, and it was within 5 minutes of where I'd saw him perfectly fine flying away in a helicopter. Just all over the map there, good grief.

These guys arent army though, they're just survivalists who dress up in camo and took over a military base.

What a surprise, the first new episode has Madison and Da Crew arrive at yet another secure encampment and completely gently caress it up so that it is overrun within a couple of hours of them showing up.

And the second episode ends with Madison plotting to take over the survivalist ranch that they just arrived at.

This show is possibly the most one note thing on television at the moment.

My screen was super dark during the opening scene of the second episode. I'm assuming Travis showed Alicia a zombie bite he got in the pit before dumping himself to freedom?

E: N/M, the inside the episode thing said the wound on his side was the entry wound from the bullet, not a hidden zombie bite. As dumb as this show can be, I was certainly not expecting that to happen.

For several seasons of TWD, introducing a new black character when one was already present on the show was a literal death sentence for one of them. It really only got better once Michonne became a regular on the show, but I see the FTWD showrunners haven't strayed far from their roots.

I liked this premier better than the TWD season 7 premier.

I wonder if Cliff Curtis quit the show though. I don't think the writers would've had the balls to kill him off on their own.

It took years for Rick to get to that level, Madison is already taking poo poo over after a couple months. By present Walking Dead Main Show Time she's probably the Warlord of the Greater West Coast or something.

Calling it, next season of Walking Dead starts off with the big setpiece battle between Rick and Negan which is promptly broken up by Madison's tanks rolling in to consolidate her hold on the East.

nah chill
I don't believe Madison as some sort of military mastermind warlord, though I don't doubt her violence or ruthlessness, especially when it comes to her family. I see her as more of a diplomatic leader--sharp with people skills and an ability to talk with people. Her background as a guidance counselor and popular bartender lends itself to that. Something about her acting is irking me too, sometimes it's just her voice, I think it could be the dubbing. She was great in Treme and Deadwood. I want to enjoy this show, I want it to improve, but it's still a few good parts and a whole lot of question marks.

Glad I didn't know that Cliff Curtis signed on for four Avatar sequels. That would've told me what was coming. Just like it did when I read about Ms. S. M-Green signing on to the new Star Trek show between TWD seasons 6 and 7.
