It's the ONLY reason I watch this. I would never watch it otherwise.

Yeah that seems unlikely.

Week 1 3/10
Week 2 5.5/10
Week 3 6.5/10
Week 4 5.5/10
Week 5 6.5/10

Oh my GAWD I cannot stand that stupid annoying as hell bleach blonde idiot mom. It's funny to hear the mother of a drug addict getting all high and mighty with Strand about her precious son.

And the sexually attractive daughter - that's all she brings to the show. Nothing else that is for sure.

I am starting to appreciate the character of Nick. And the old Mexican dude. His daughter is very attractive and actually brings some depth to her role (unlike the other bimbo).

That mexican kid, oh dear are they setting him up be a nut job? It seems so.. Maybe they have to kill him ala Carol and the psycho child in TWD...

The prisoner trade off made me laugh. The growling zombie was very well behaved and stopped growling just long enough to sucker the bad guys.

Still, I give this episode a 6.5 for effort.

This is one of the worst shows on television... followed closely by The Path. I'd say it's about tied with The Strain and Mr. Robot but maybe a little worse than both of those. I (almost) pity the fools who actually pay for this garbage but I mostly just laugh.

Last night episode was a blast!
Two best lines in the episode:

Madison denying Nick his request to deliver the prisoner: Becasue you want to go!

Salazar: I've seen people instill fear, and they don't need to talk about instilling fear.

Alex turned out to be the traitor...Alicia is vindicated!
I wonder if we will see Conner(with no arm) become the main "villain" chasing the group to the ends of the Earth, seeking revenge?

Just another stellar episode! Can't wait to see next week!

Good points and I am enjoying this show as well, looking forward to next week as well to see if they can get across and to see what this house is all about they keep trying to get too.

Salazar is my favorite character. And I like that tying people to chairs to torture info out of them is becoming his signature move.

[mredman]

Alicia is my fave she is also really coming into her own, might be the Maggie of this show

This show is so stupid. They're 22 days (or so) into this thing, and that's twice now the group has taken on a herd of Walkers with melee weapons. Really? Even Rick's group didn't do that so fast, and that was a group that has ultra badass Rick, Daryl, Shane... and we're supposed to believe that not even a month into this, wuss-asses like Chris are able to grab bats/knives/axes (and whatever) to fight a herd of Walkers head on and up close?

Everything is soo easy for these people, it only adds to how uninteresting and not-engaging this show is.

Stop watching, it's your only hope.

[DisneyBlu]

The only interesting thing this show is doing right now is

[Show spoiler]Chris

' descent into being a psychopath. I actually like this angle, and it's really fitting. I just hope they actually take it to some interesting places and not back out. It's basically a retread of Shane, but I'd rather watch him keep losing his marbles and be a threat to people around him rather than watch him be a mopey, angsty brat.

Your best bet if you continue watching the show is to stop comparing it to TWD. Let it be its own show.

That's really hard to do, considering they're straight up ripping off storylines from The Walking Dead. This is no coincidence.

Chris (Shane) is going off the deep end, wanting Madison (Rick) out of the equation, going so far as to threaten Alicia (Dale).

Meanwhile, the group find themselves on someone else's property (Hershel's farm / Tom's place), only to discover that

[Show spoiler]the host knowingly has a bunch of Walkers locked up. Walkers that they're feeding and keeping "alive." Sound familiar?

They're lazily ripping off The Walking Dead season 2, so any "let this show be it's own thing" comments are wholly invalid.

You obviously don't enjoy FTWD, so why do you continue to watch?

You can't counter my points, so you continue to ask why I watch? Why I watch is irrelevant. I guess you realized there's no way to defend the second season of this show shamelessly ripping off the second season of its much better companion. They are copying the same exact plot points. Setting it in Mexico and changing the characters names doesn't make it any less of a pathetic rip off.

I don't need to counter your points. It would just be nice if you didn't pop in the thread every Sunday night to dump all over the show. Your complaining every week is old and very tired.

This thread isn't about me, it's about Fear The Walking Dead, and my posts are valid, on-topic criticisms. This isn't a fan thread. Put me on ignore if you have a problem with someone criticizing a show they have every right to comment on.

Will do. It's like divorcing a constantly nagging wife.

[rickah88]

Wait a sec...first the group was too dumb, making too many mistakes. Now they are doing everything flawlessly?
I wish the bash brigade would make up their mind.

Wow, this episode just opened up a bunch of possibilities! To say the plot thickens, would be an understatement!!
I really hope we get some Salazar back story!
This episode just reinforces the fact: the living are more dangerous than the dead!

Next week is looking good! I can't believe that it's time for the mid-season break already!
