Wojo 2,453 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Maybe Abraham or Mullet Boy started out in LA and we'll get to see the start of their sojourn. I know we saw Abraham's flashback in S5, so before that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt C 454 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Fear the Walking Dead - "So Close, Yet So Far"The companion series to its hugely successful predecessor, the second episode manages to weave a creepily suspenseful spell. As L.A.'s society begins its decline, it weaves a beautiful sense of dread akin to the best moments in 28 Days Later... and Contagion. I can't really single out a single cast member in the ensemble, but they're all pretty good -- especially Kim Dickens and Frank Dillane. If the quality keeps up for the next four episodes... it could surpass "The Walking Dead"'s first season.Paul Haslinger's score is effective, not memorable, but it works well.

DreamTheater 131 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I will miss the desolateness of The Walking Dead, probably the main reason why I'm digging the show in the first place.AlexThe first 3 seasons were top notch IMO. It started to drag just a little during S4, maybe because there was less of a group dynamic. Some of the episodes only featured 2-3 characters, but I'm still looking forward to how it will go from there. And it's always hard to see a beloved character killed (of which there are a lot in The Walking Dead). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Walking Dead has gotten much better with age, imo. It's my great pulpy serial fix. And to think I nearly binned it after season 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,335 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Not a big fan of the characters, I'm sorry. To me The Walking Dead is not really a character show (not in the sense that I find them interesting). I guess that's why I keep liking the later seasons.Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He started out quite likeable and inoffensive, but his uncanny ability to constantly survive bad situations and be hopelessly nice (while shagging the show's one true babe) is just annoying now.

Wojo 2,453 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I'm rewatching Season 5 with my better half before Season 6 starts because she missed its initial run (Fear the Walking Dead is on the back burner). In the episode Them, Maggie basically spends a minute fiddling around with a key in the trunk when she wants to kill the turned kidnap victim inside. Then Glenn does too. Does nobody think that the car has a trunk release switch? Two minutes of empty TV right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt C 454 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Fear the Walking Dead: "Cobalt" The moral ambiguity goes deeper... this episode recalls both 28 Days and Weeks Later with the soldier force deteriorating and the quarantined families becoming more uncertain of their future. Ruben Blades and Patricia Reyes Spindola really shine here, and there's even a Dawn of the Dead style interlude where Chris and Alicia bond over vandalizing an abandoned house. Fantastic direction by Kari Skogland, I hope she gets to do more episodes.I'm still surprised Fear has been able to maintain the quality from the get-go. I love the slow burn, and hopefully the season finale and second season continue the trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Basically you know that every time they have an intense episode with a battle or major death, the next episode will be a breather episode where they just walk or talk or cry or eat worms and reflect.

A24 4,335 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Has anyone ever mentioned how good that musical transition is between each opening scene and the intro/leader? The rapid strings motif is always heard about 2 or 3 seconds before the leader is actually shown and it's always to great effect. In fact, its usage reminds me of mystery tune of the classic TV series of The Twilight Zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Well every main character death so far has occurred with witnesses around or a body to find. When they die, people know they're dead. Those two would be unrecognizable giblets when the herd moves on. Their loved ones would spend entire episodes searching for them. That's cruel on them and the audience.

nightscape94 965 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Didn't see the episode, but heard about it through various web sources. Don't be fooled, it's all bullshit. They wouldn't let the episode drag out for another 10 minutes. The point of positioning that scene, and doing it in such an ambiguous way, is to build suspense and tension to carry over to the next episode. That weasel always finds a way.
