Fear the Walking Dead?

Given how fast this can spread, I don't think they really could have drug out the pandemic more. Though, I would have to believe there are more people bunkered in and hiding still. If they are following the rules of TWD, all people will turn once it starts happening, it would really spread through a city fast. Like that stadium, just takes a couple walkers to turn a whole stadium of people into a mob of walkers.

I just wish we would have seen more national/world news just to give a feel of how other places were doing/coping. Has it happened in other continents, for example.

I pretty much okay with most of the characters, but the stepfather's idealism bugs me. Hershel's moral center was so true spiritually, but this guys screams LA/California fake pompous idealism.

I agree.
Was hoping to see the CDC and Government try to figure out whats going on and the steps they took before the onset. I wonder if next season they will do some flashbacks to some of that, kind of like TWD did a few times. (in season 2 or 3?)

To me that sounds like a spin off series. And would be a good one.

It wouldn't surprise me if there's already some preliminary development going on with one. If shows like CSI and NCIS can have about 10 different spin-offs between them, TWD certainly can as well.

It's all about character, though...

Spin-offs don't work unless they can stand alone. Out of idle curiosity, did you know that NCIS was actually a spin-off...or at least, it was launched from another successful show?

Your first point I totally agree with. Recent events with Ebola and Avian flu show there is potential for a great story line.

The stepfather is annoying and you're right, it's that fake I want to be peacemaker to everyone kind of idealism that is so out of place. I'm sure he is cast that way to in order provide tension vs the Mexican father, but it comes off as lame. The wife isn't much better. For a supposed guidance teacher she is a basket case and a poster of crummy parenting.
 
So did anyone else get the feeling that those National Guardsmen frigged the lieutenant?
The way they came running out and said that there was a change of plans just made me think they took that as an opportunity to get away from him. They were already unhappy about being there and being on duty for something like 50 straight hours. Maybe I'm just reading too much into it.

The fact that they didnt show it leads me to believe we will see him again. More off his rocker.

Kinda like the Governor, eh?

Question: has the word changed among the military? I thought the term was "fragged", not "frigged". Not being picky; I'm genuinely curious. I can be behind the times on occasion... :)

They allude to this a little bit with the rant of intermittent electricity and no communications with the outside world. We are supposed to be like the characters I would guess and only find out what they find out.

Nick (or whatever pacifist dad's name is) is getting some rude awakenings about the nature of things in this cruel new world.

And he packs a punch (or thirty).

Travis is the dad.

I had to look up the dad's name because I only knew that Nick was the addict kid. Kinda sad when we watch 6 episodes of a show & don't know the name of a main character, ya know?
 
So what I took from this is that Ruben Blades is responsible for the collapse of a military base all because he wanted his wife back. For seeming to understand how the world would work in the apocalypse, he was awful shortsighted.
