Yes. Yes it did. Which I find funny consider the narrative of both trailers essentially paint the same picture for similar looking storylines. The editing on the Fear trailer destroyed TWD's trailer.

Anyone watch it this past weekend? There's a nice tribute to

[Show spoiler]Breaking Bad

in Part 2.

Most people like to think both shows are the same universe.

Show is boring trash

Really enjoying FTWD - the most recent two-part episode (starting the 2nd part of the 3rd season) was well-done & suspenseful, even if there wasn't much zombie action.

I know a lot of TWD fans have relegated this series to the back burner because it's not really "part" of the regular series. However, IMHO this is a great show which has focused on the beginnings of the zombie infection, and I'm also enjoying the characters/characterization. The various interconnected settings (CA, the ocean to some extent, and Mexico) is also unique & interesting. In just three seasons, the characters on this series have gotten farther geographically than Rick Grimes' group in 7 seasons of TWD (where they still seem to be in Georgia, the same state where they started off from).

The sequence in this last episode regarding the fighting over water use was especially fascinating; years ago, I read a prediction that in the future, people will actually be fighting wars over water/the rights to water. Doesn't seem that far-fetched at all, and the way this issue was presented in the show seemed very realistic.

The "bazaar" where Madison ran into Strand (without intending to) seemed realistic as well. If we ever did ending up having a post-apocalyptic situation in reality, I'm sure open-air markets like this (where you could buy almost anything) would be popping up everywhere.

So, there are only a handful more episodes in this third season. I predict:

[Show spoiler]-Strand will take Madison to the dam (as seen in a previous episode), and somehow they will find a way to transport the water back to the ranch - maybe!

-The brother who got exiled will somehow find his way back to the ranch before the season is out (possibly leading a group of other survivors), and there will be a confrontation between him/his group & the members of the ranch. That being said, maybe this will be the "cliffhanger" leading into next season. Madison will then regret not taking him out when she had the chance.

In any case, looking forward to the remaining episodes this year.

I can't believe how good this season has been.

I caught that! If you recall, there was a similar one in The Walking Dead as well, in an early season. Daryl had

[Show spoiler]blue meth (along with many other drugs) in a backpack,

IIRC.

Really enjoyed the first two episodes. Much better than TWD imo which has devolved into a soap opera with a CGI tiger.

But I was let down by the 3rd one. Didn't really buy Troy's 'breakdown'. Felt forced and/or rushed. I saw him later on Talking Dead, or whatever they call the Fear version, and heard him talking - turned to the wife and we both said at the same time 'of course'. At this point I just expect any actor on either show to be British lol.

I think Nick may be the dumbest character to ever appear on any TV show or movie. The stupid idiot doesn't learn any lessons.

He's the most dangerous person in the Walking Dead universe. Even more dangerous than the psychopath brother.

I may be done with this show. I'll give it one more chance, but this stupidity is beyond anything I've ever seen.

I really hope this show does a crossover with TWD, even it's a very subtle one. Both shows are quite good.

[Scottie]

Maybe it's just me, but I am digging the holy hell out of this show.

Not just you

Ok, I'll bite, why is he so stupid?

In a mere two episodes, Alicia has become the strongest character on this show. Incredible.

She is the Rick of the show i think. The change in character is similar, definitely the best character by far.

[myanks12]

When I first started watching FTWD, I was not a fan of Alicia. What they have done with her character this season is incredible and major props go to the actress as well because she's acting the hell out of her scenes.

[i007spectre]

Finally Alycia got to show some of the great acting skills she had on the 100.

[Morsoth]

The last episode was amazing! Very suffocating and eerie, really loved that one!!!

Did I miss a scene but how did Walker/Strand and Madison clear off that HUGE horde of walkers to save Alicia ?!?

They didn't show it but talked about it afterward. They set off the same fuel dump as Nick and psycho were going to use as a distraction.
