I have to agree. The first week was a little slow but I thought it was good. Second week was much better. I think the 3rd week is going to be awesome. Wish they wouldn't have put a hiatus with just 2 weeks in but beggars can't be choosers. Compared to the Walking Dead I like this show much better already. Better acting and we eventually get to see the shit hit the fan.
Walking dead had a pretty good first season and the season where they first came to the farm but the only reason I keep watching now is zombies. The acting is shit and so is the story line. [Reply]

It makes sense IMO. If you reveal the cause then you automatically create the endgame, and the plot has to tend toward it, making the end of the show inevitable. And in this case, the end of two shows.
With that said, I'm really liking it so far. Yea, some of the characters are annoying (I was audibly saying, "Shut up, woman!" to the ex-wife character while watching), but that's better than no emotion towards them at all. [Reply]

It's just ok. I'm not really looking forward to watching it like I do the original.
The story in the original is infinitely better, btw. So far all we have are liberals running around and whiney kids with drug issues.
They've been following the comics almost to the letter on TWD. I suppose if you're unfamiliar with it or just 'watch for zombies' then you'll probably like the spinoff more. [Reply]

This in a nutshell has been my frustration with both TWD and FTWD. All hell is breaking loose or the world has ended, by all means keep things quite and don't tell your loved ones what you have seen or had to do.
I will credit where it's due though. In the scene where Mom (I forget her name) has to kill walker principal it took a few hits to the head. My guess is that he's a "new" walker and his skull is not rotted away. Nice little detail, at least I'd like to think that was what they were going for. [Reply]

Yeah, it got me wondering at what point do their skulls turned into Papier-mâché? [Reply]

I recall that the show creators talked about how the walkers in FTWD would not be as "broken down" as the walkers are in TWD. Since this is the outbreak of the walkers they are are "stronger" then the walkers in the later seasons of TWD. [Reply]
