There already exists a vast offering of no humanity/all killing, it’s called video games.

Video games are a completely different medium though?

Not for what some folks seem to want out of this show.

FYI, it wasn't found footage style. It was documentary style, since that's exactly what they were shooting and we were watching… their video that they're distributing to others to show who they are and what they do.

Lol, wrong choice of words.

It was the most boring and uninspired episode imaginable. Fear has gone from being better than it's big brother to way worse in the span of 1.5 seasons. I really liked the first 3 seasons but I don't know what the hell the writers are smoking now.

Actually I didn't mind the Diary of the Dead, filmed on vidcam look.

Wow, I had no idea that was Max Headroom. I kept thinking he sounded a lot like kermit the frog or jim henson.

This last episode gosh I wanted to be the zombie what a pointless boring infomercial episode it least the last 2 minutes got interesting.

What skill they have to edit that footage together so perfectly.

That was later debunked as a false rumor when it was announced Daniel would be returning.

Haven't watched the returning episode, but it looks to be a good one from the previews.

Best question asked it was literally like a perfect commercial.

Yeah I find it hard to believe they have software and stuff to edit together a help wanted tape and enough film to produce videos to be sent out.

Karen David has this girlish cuteness face and I can’t stop looking at it lol

[i007spectre]

Loved her in Galavant.

I enjoyed tonight’s episode probably more than most of the episodes so far this season. I’m a big Morgan fan, so I enjoyed tonight with him and Grace in the mall.

I liked the obvious Dawn of the Dead setting comparisons.

Clearly Morgan and chicky never watched Dawn or they would have known not to turn on the escalators lol.

A couple things....I'm guessing Morgan left because

[Show spoiler]he started to having feelings for chicky, knew her time was likely short, and didn't want to get hurt again

?

And so the whole gist of the show now, is they're trying to not be aholes...but didn't they totally screw over Max Headroom? So they're basically huge hypocrites no? Granted we still haven't seen exactly what happened...

This thread is

I am only still watching FTWD out of reflex/habit. The wife and I are ready to drop it entirely. I can't even find a single character that I like enough to root for. I hate all of 'em.

And I'm really doubtful at this point about the quality ever going up again on either of the WD shows. And I sure as hell won't be buying a ticket for Rick's solo movie.

I've loved zombie stuff since the 1970's. Just this week I re-watched Fulci's Zombie twice. But the weekly pablum AMC puts out has me bored to death rather than gored to death!

[Ranger517]

This season has been so boring. Everyone has gotten so soft. The villain is lame. The Morgan Cult is growing. Every episode has this same type of dialogue a long the lines of "Oh we can save people, they're still good people out there." Every episode it's like this.

It's called "Fear The Walking Dead" but there hasn't been anything that has alluded to or hinted at the title since season 3. What are we supposed to fear? Logan's gang? Every time he pops up, he's either blocking some path or making threats with a bunch of extras behind him... The writing has been awful this season.

I really miss how season 1-3 was. xD

[TsMkLg068426]

I don’t get why the writers listened to the online trolls season 1-3 was perfect and had the best cast now it’s just boring nothing is even happening just like last season. The writers are so obsessed to make the whole show around Morgan that all the previous characters from the start feel left out almost no longer matter.


AMC next to find the next big new tv series like Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul or Into The Badlands because the network should change their name to the Zombie network with all the TWD spin offs coming.

[DukeTogo84]

Yeah, Season 4 was a big downgrade, and this season has been even worse. I liked that the first three season felt much different from the Walking Dead, but now it seems like it's trying to be Walking Dead 2.0.
