Man, spoilers SUCK! Sorry you found out that way.
Agreed - with all of it! :D

This weeks episode.
(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?

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.


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

My guess for top killers: (view spoiler)

I did like the zombie vs. human kill count.

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.

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.

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! ;)

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!

:D

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.

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!

Yeah, that was my ..."
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!

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.

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.

Aside from that - brilliant premiere. LOL! >.<
Oh, hubby was super annoyed by (view spoiler)

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.
