Steph (angel4492) | 32734 comments Right?! Love her wide-eyed look. :D

Daffodil (daffodil--ripcranberry) | 2098 comments Grrr! So Wednesday I started to watch the latest episode and fell asleep about 1/3 of the way in. On a side note, I remember teasing my parents for doing this and now I do the same thing. Anyway, yesterday I was browsing through my FB feed and saw a post from TWD saying (view spoiler) Darn it. So I knew what was going to happen at some point in the last 40 minutes, just not how. I finished watching it last night. Wow!

Steph (angel4492) | 32734 comments LOL! My DH snoozes quite often (not in TWD, but others) and when busted completely denies it. I'm a night person, so I rarely do.

Man, spoilers SUCK! Sorry you found out that way.

Agreed - with all of it! :D

 Marla | 261 comments Awww...sorry Daffodil, I don't look at anything until I've seen the latest episode because I'm afraid of spoilers! Though it was so horrible, that maybe some warning wouldn't be that bad.

message 306: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32734 comments *Sigh* I thought Sunday's episode was kinda boring. At least up until the last 2 minutes or so. Glad we're getting a 90-min finale.

This weeks episode.

Steph (angel4492) | 32734 comments Good point, Daffodil, I hadn't thought about that (Sam scene).

message 309: by Marla (new)

 Marla | 261 comments Rick is a mess. (view spoiler)

I just read a non-fiction book for my book club and they mentioned how the Greek's had developed all kinds of stuff and then the knowledge was lost and they had to be re-invented years later in the Renaissance. What kinds of knowledge are going to disappear with the lost of books and skilled people in the zombie apocalypse?


message 310: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32734 comments That he is! (view spoiler)

Man, lots and lots would be lost, I think. Unless someone was forward thinking enough to stash bright minds away, like on the movie 2012, or something. That and stashing/somehow protecting libraries worth of information to be recovered later.

 Marla | 261 comments TWD Season Finale...I literally was biting my nails. (view spoiler)

message 314: by Marla (new)

 Marla | 261 comments I am not expecting Fear the Walking Dead to be very good, spin offs so rarely are. I'll watch it, but I'm not getting my hopes up. And part of the reason I like TWD so much is I truly love some of the characters. (view spoiler)


message 315: by Marla (last edited Apr 01, 2015 11:20AM) (new)

 Marla | 261 comments My daughter just sent me this link about top Walking Dead killers: http://uproxx.com/tv/2015/03/infograp...

Guess who has the most kills and then check it out.


message 316: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32734 comments Yeah, I want it to be awesome. Hopefully I'm not setting my hopes too high. I think it'll be nice to have some part of TWD to fill the void in-between seasons.

My guess for top killers: (view spoiler)


message 317: by Marla (new)

 Marla | 261 comments I was really surprised at how few kills there were in the early seasons.

I did like the zombie vs. human kill count.


message 318: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32734 comments Me too. They certainly make up for it later on.


message 319: by Marla (new)

 Marla | 261 comments My older daughter said it's because the fans (me included) are getting desensitized as the show goes on, so more and more gruesomeness is necessary to shock us.


message 320: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32734 comments No doubt. Now, it seems odd when they let someone live.


message 321: by Marla (new)

 Marla | 261 comments How many walkers have you killed?
How many people? Why?


message 322: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32734 comments Are you practicing for next season? >;)


message 323: by Marla (new)

 Marla | 261 comments I'm in withdrawl...


message 324: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32734 comments :D I hear ya. Thankfully, Game of Thrones will fill my Sundays for a while.


message 325: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32734 comments Marla, did you hear that the dude playing Gabriel was arrested for driving 100+ and DUI in GA?

AMC has a page up for FEAR THE WALKING DEAD: http://www.amc.com/shows/fear-the-wal...
There's an extremely short trailer up, but not a lot more.
Starring Kim Dickens (Gone Girl, Sons of Anarchy), Cliff Curtis (Missing, Gang Related), Frank Dillane (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince) and Alycia Debnam Carey (Into the Storm) and Executive Produced by Dave Erickson (Marco Polo, Sons of Anarchy), Robert Kirkman, Gale Anne Hurd, Greg Nicotero and David Alpert, Fear the Walking Dead premieres this summer, with a second season airing in 2016.



message 326: by Marla (new)

 Marla | 261 comments I never did like Gabriel...

I am starting to look forward to the Fear TWD. I hope it's cool. I had to google Frank Dillane to see which Harry Potter character he played. Wow, I never gave much thought to Tom Riddle, but he's a doll without the slicked hair and weird expression.


message 327: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32734 comments LOL! Me neither.

I hope so too! Gimme the dead! :D


message 328: by Daffodil (new)

Daffodil (daffodil--ripcranberry) | 2098 comments Nice little article on The Nerdist about Fear the Walking Dead. Based off an interview with creator Robert Kirkman.

Daffodil (daffodil--ripcranberry) | 2098 comments Fear the Walking Dead premiere is Sunday! Preceded by a 1 hour Talking Dead special.


message 330: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32734 comments I don't know how I missed your May post. :/ Hubby and I super excited for Fear this Sunday. But, I gotta say, I'm also a little worried it's gonna suck. I really hope it's good! Please, please be good!


message 331: by Steph, Serious series addict (last edited Aug 27, 2015 02:22PM) (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32734 comments Did ya watch the Fear the Walking Dead premiere? What'd ya think?

I knew going in that they were putting the focus on the family, so I wasn't surprised that the majority of the episode focused on us getting to know them. Being a gore-girl, I'm anxious for some serious walker scenes. It is interesting to see how it might all play out at the beginning of an outbreak.

Are we to assume that no one has ever watched a zombie movie? Cuz that never seems realistic to me, but of course walkers/zombies IRL totally does! LOL! ;)


message 332: by Daffodil (last edited Aug 27, 2015 02:52PM) (new)

Daffodil (daffodil--ripcranberry) | 2098 comments I had to keep reminding myself the show is about the beginning of the outbreak, so they're going for the slow buildup not an explosive outbreak. At least not yet, anyway.

On an episode of Talking Dead, Kirkman stated that the concept of zombies does not exist. There is no such term, they don't initially know how to kill them permanently. That's also why different groups of people have different names for them. All those poor people have never seen a George Romero movie!


message 333: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32734 comments Ah, that makes sense, I guess, though I don't think that's realistic. Funny how that's what I find unrealistic. LOL!

:D

Hershel gotarrestd for a DUI also, what's with that cast?

message 335: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32734 comments Shame, shame.


message 336: by Daffodil (new)

Daffodil (daffodil--ripcranberry) | 2098 comments Interesting announcement about zombies on a plane. Apparently it's an internet episode they will air during commercial breaks of Fear TWD. In the end, it will introduce a new character for season 2 of FTWD.

message 337: by Marla (new)

 Marla | 261 comments Sorry, been busy with life and also was underwhelmed with the premiere of Fear TWD. I kind of like the characters, so hopefully it will be better once there are more zombies around.

Seriously, if there was a zombie apocalypse, I'd want to be with my husband, my brother, or my daughter's boyfriend or his dad. LOL, I guess we like capable men (who are survivor types).

Well, Hershel did have a drinking problem...

(and why is Gabriel still not dead?! We were watching reruns and I really liked the Senator's husband, why couldn't Gabriel have been the accidental death? And he left the #@%& gate open, if it was malicious, I might have been able to give him some credit for an evil plan, but he just was too zoned out...) Okay, *deep sigh*, I'm good now.


message 339: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32734 comments I liked Ep2 a bit better than the first, so hopefully each episode is better from here on out. I keep waiting for someone to yell, "Zombies!" But, realize that won't happen.

Yeah, that was my first thought too, Marla, Well, Hershel did have a drinking problem....

Right?! Gabriel must be one of the first to go this season!

I too want them to realize zombies! I really liked in TWD how each group had a different name for the walkers, rotters, turned, roamers...

I also thought this episode was better. Ex-wife and new girlfriend in same group, could be a little awkward.

Who else noticed that the son with the drug problem looks like a young Johnny Depp?

We can only hope that Gabriel meets an early demise. *fingers crossed*

That was the first thing I said to my hubby when we watched the first ep! GMTA! :D

Yeah, ex and new GF could be awkward. Hard to say at this point how the two women feel about each other. Ex doesn't seem to have any negative feelings toward anyone but exhub at this point. But, zombie apocalypse could take all that drama outta the equation. Bigger fish to fry and all that.

*fingers and toes crossed* for Gabriel's early demise. >:)

I've watched the first one. Will try to look out for future eps during TWD.

How'd ya'll like the finale?

Anxious for TWD premiere this Sunday!


message 343: by Daffodil (new)

Daffodil (daffodil--ripcranberry) | 2098 comments Just a couple more days.

During the final episode of FTWD, did you catch the explanation on why a zombie bite victim turns faster? Early in TWD, after they revealed everyone carries the virus and everyone turns after dying, they never explained why a bite would accelerate the turning process. Now we know. If you get bitten, you die from infection and then you turn. Not a big deal, but nice to have an explanation that makes scientific sense.

Apparently, Talking Dead did well after the finale. They just announced that Chris will be hosting TD after episodes of Fear next year.


message 344: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32734 comments Yeah, we caught that too. It was nice to get that explanation. (view spoiler)

We don't always catch TD afterward, but want to make more of a point to do so with TWD and FTWD from now on.

 Marla | 261 comments @Steph ~ yeah, I missed talking about the Premiere with you! Life is just too crazy busy. But I have been watching, just not on-line much. And not much time to read :(

Do you ever do buddy reads? I think we'd have fun reading a book together. Though I just stalked you and you read too fast, I leisurely read three or four books at a time.

What did you think of the Wolves zombie trap? (view spoiler)
