grey ghost Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Fear the Walking Dead sets the record for largest cable tv premiere http://variety.com/2015/tv/news/fear-the-walking-dead-premiere-sets-all-time-cable-ratings-record-1201575876/ AMC would be dumb not to do a spin off. The numbers speak for themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeCee Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Fairly mediocre ratings in Australia. http://www.tvtonight.com.au/2015/08/monday-24-august-2015.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hangman Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 They should have cut the premiere to one hour. It didn't need to be 1.5 hours. Probably would have seemed less boring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75Live Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 They should have cut the premiere to one hour. It didn't need to be 1.5 hours. Probably would have seemed less boring. While I don't think it was boring, I can argue it didn't need to be that long either. But the way I look at it is, now they got all that stuff out of the way in episode one, they can get moving faster in the next episode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeCee Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 While I don't think it was boring, I can argue it didn't need to be that long either. But the way I look at it is, now they got all that stuff out of the way in episode one, they can get moving faster in the next episode But will they get moving faster? I suspect not. I watched it last night. I'm someone who gave a up on TWD a few seasons ago. With TWD you didn't really have to wonder about how a virus that wasn't airborne and who's victims moved quite slowly could wipe out most of the world's population. That's something they have to deal with here and I don't think the pilot was entirely successful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyevenstar22 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 yeah i'm a bit confused at how slowly the virus is spreading which is weird , i wonder what's the timeline between this premiere and twd 's mostly i'm dissappointed because clearly we still won't know what the fuck happened or how this started , these characters we've met aren't doctors/scientists ! oh well i'll watch but really 2 shows in same zombie verse dunno hope it don't get stale because of ho hum mystery only difference i'm seeing right now is small town vs big city outbreak , in a city of millions maybe it seem to take more time to spread or be noticed , oh and zombies don't much look like zombie maybe an LA thing or maybe since they're newly minted Zs they haven't been around the block a couple times lollll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeCee Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Assuming Rick was in the coma for 3 months I would say this starts within that period since the outbreak is already underway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerbs Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 On reddit they were talking about the 77 cents pulled from the kids pocket. Apparently it's a reference to women making 77 cents to the dollar of men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cozmeesah Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) You gave up on TWD a few seasons ago? Boy, what a bad time to give up on it. You've missed awesomeness. Did you guys expect them to explain how it all started in the very first episode? How can you say we won't find out the cause? You can't possibly know that and it's quite a reach to say that.

4815162342 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Kirkman has gone on record saying we will never know what the actual cause is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cozmeesah Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Kirkman has gone on record saying we will never know what the actual cause is. Yes. But she said we wouldn't find out because the main characters aren't medical personnel. Which, ignoring what Kirkman said, would be silly considering all we've seen is the pilot and don't know who they'll meet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Good premiere. I don't understand all the hate this franchise gets. I've found it consistently entertaining 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeCee Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I watched TWD until the end of season 3. I just didn't care about any of the remaining characters anymore. I may binge one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Second episode was slow moving but still maintained a tense atmosphere. Curious what kind of direction they go with the Latino family. I really hope they aren't just redshirts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75Live Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 OK second episode but the trailer for next week looks really good. The mom is not good so far but I'll chalk that up to trauma for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope they aren't just redshirts. The atmosphere is very tense in this series. I thought the episode was better than last week. two week for episode 3 which looks like it's gonna be good.

grey ghost Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 2nd episode was good. I'm fully on board this spin off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyevenstar22 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 eh people behaving stupidly drives me nuts ....some i can excuse for not knowing what's going on but the mom seriously no excuse and still not telling the daughter wtf.... then the whole police protester thing why hide it under convenient pretext of the characters hiding in that store , so we're in same situation as twd , and here i thought we were going to see how shit went down full frontal but nope more of the same ...lots of ominous music and noise, peek-a-boo zombie moment maybe what we need is to see this univers from the zombie pov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 The idea of showing the outbreak is really good and I hope they don't go Walking Dead route too soon. I want to see the outbreak, not the devastated world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
