I had kind of the opposite reaction. Seems like he's *trying* to be a young Johnny Depp which annoys me a little. That said, still thought he was good and liked the first ep.

Re: Fear of the Walking Dead?
This is actually why i wish they started the show a bit earlier.
By the time we start seeing the show, this has actually been going on for some time, with the government trying to contain it. At very least the hospitals are in on it and likely the police are aware as well.
From the storysync feature AMC has, they showed a memo that was supposed to be from the world health organization directing hospitals on procedures. So at least early on they were trying to contain it, secretly. Thats why they rushed the guy downstairs when he died, and why that nurse didnt care at all when the kid escaped. She and the rest of the hospital had more important **** to worry about at the moment.

That answers a couple of questions I had after last night. Thanks!

Agreed that the show should've started MUCH earlier. This show should focus on the virus development, the outbreak building steam and the fall of society. It seems like episode 2 of FTWD is already going to equate to episode 1 of TWD. A poster earlier said they hoped this didn't turn into TWD west coast style....and that's exactly what seems to be happening.
Its unfortunate, because there seem to be a lot of people complaining the other way (they want more zombies...which was never the main point of TWD much less this show), so they seem to have taken an unhappy middle ground .
That's what I'm thinking.
I think it would have been neat to have the main characters of this show be govt, hospital, military and law enforcement officials who have to detect the pandemic, and then come up with ways to try to control it without causing chaos. Then, when it is spread and all the public is aware they have to change the way the country is run, resorting to marshal law, and dealing with the complete downfall of the market.
Not going to lie, I was also hoping the show would have started earlier and really got into the cause and how it spread rather than simply showing LA go down.
Didn't read much of the other posts, but had this thought:
Anyone think that since the opening scene starts in an abandoned church that perhaps "the disease" itself is somewhat biblical? (Created by God, started the beginning of the apocalypse.) Or, do you think that they will dive into how a virus spread from a mutation, or an airborne toxin, etc...?

An interesting theory i read regarding Cal:
Maybe the reason he wasnt answering Nick, and the reason he was cleaning out the van, and why the church zombies were missing was that he went into that church, killed everyone there, and dumped the bodies somewhere. That could also be why he was going to kill Nick, as he didnt want himself connected to the deaths there.

I dont think so. I think the church was just completely random. Im leaning more towards bio-tech, whether it was being designed as a weapon or it was designed to fight cancer or stave off disease in general. Could have been something to prolong life as well.
If Cal removed all the bodies then how does that account for the two dead people plus zombie Gloria?
Those were all gone before travis got there.
This theory would be that cal came through after nick ran out, but before his parents found cal cleaning the van.
That church isn't where it started. During the show the kid who is tries to sneak a knife into school says there have been cases in 5 different states. I think this outbreak will be self inflicted by humans.
