I thought the junkie girl in the church overdosed and turned. My wife thought she got stabbed, I thought got she stabbed after she was dead.

Well I liked it. It takes a long series and gives it a fresh look on just what did happen before the series began.Visit my wiki site:

here's what I thought...
It was very slow.
I got bored a bit in the middle. No real connection to the characters. Didn't relate.
The husband had more chemistry on the phone with his ex-wife than he did with any character on screen.
They did things normal people would never do. Not much emotional in the characters reactions.
I feel it needed more exaggeration. really sell it to me.
it needs something more.
Maybe it was because it was the first episode.
I really want to like this series.
I didn't hate it. It wasn't bad.
Just not up to WALKING DEAD standards....yet.
still...
I will watch more.Comment

Thoroughly disappointing pilot/first episode! Who in the world did the casting for this show -- simply awful. Other than the drug-addicted kid, everyone else in that show is all wrong. The casting for the dad was especially wrong -- that actor was all wrong for the role. In addition, there is not one character I care a thing about. Granted, this is just episode one. However, unless they introduce a Rick, Michonne, or Daryl type of character -- and soon, they can all get eaten by the walkers! There is not one character I care about if he/she lives or dies. Extremely disappointing first episode. To say it was generic at best, that would be a compliment.Comment

I will say this, FOTWD didn't grab me like the original The Walking Dead debut in 2010 did.Comment

I think one of the reasons I liked it so much is i'm getting sick and tired of the over-the-top writing and acting on the original series.
It was ok for a while, but lately it's becoming overly melodramatic.
Sometimes i'm almost embarrassed watching it during some scenes (the original)
It's like the writers are highschool kids or something.Comment

Cliff Curtis is a physically imposing Maori actor from New Zealand. He's an expert of mau rākau, a traditional Māori form of taiaha fighting.
Believe me, he's going to eventually morph into a baddarze, that's been his motto throughout his career...he never plays wimps. Brilliant casting in my opinion. Nerdy and timid at first...then smashing Walkers left and right later, lol.
Cliff Curtis would eat Rick/Daryl/Michonne actors for breakfast in real life...
P.S. We both agree on the drug addicted teen though, and the girls are going to make him really famous too, lol.Last edited by Hector; Aug 25, '15, 4:21 PM.sigpicComment

I was not saying that the actor was bad. However, I still stick with the notion of casting him was terrible. He did not blend in at all -- no chemistry whatsoever with the actress playing the mother. Now with that being said, I thought the entire cast was poorly put together -- except the druggie. In all reality, I am not so sure anyone cast in these roles would have made a difference. The characters in this episode were so dull, boring, and unsympathetic, I would not have cared if all of them died -- you care nothing about them. At least Rick, Daryl, and Michonne are characters that you either like, or care what happens to them (unlike Carl). They have a draw, appeal, charisma! The characters in Fear the Walking Dead were simply going through the motions. The actors seemed bored with the material -- as was I. I will watch the next episode. However, if the next episode is as sorry as the first, then Kirkman better give his blessings that this show was renewed for season 2 before it even aired!Comment

It was just the first episode and they had so much they had to set up. With only 6 episodes in season one I saw watch it for at least 3 episodes and if it does not pick up than drop it. It's not like there isn't that much on anyways since Falling Skies ends next week.Visit my wiki site:

Yeah, man...it's only the first episode...let the characters marinate a bit, lol.
You think Daryl was likable at first? I hated that dude...I was wishing he get eaten slowly and painfully at first. Now I love him. That's why you should give the show more than two tries...it's an organic evolution and process...let it grow...
