TV: Fear The Walking Dead

[Sol]

I don't really understand this. If you don't watch these shows, why do you care if others do?

Because I hate when TV shows care about quantity rather than quality.

Seriously f*** Scott Gimple. Guy is a terrible hack. Pretty much just introduced the Saviors to a new show and called them "The Vultures", and he made Madison a Rick clone instead of the nasty person she was last season. Last season Madison would have been scheming to kill those f***s as soon as they rolled up to their gate, instead she's in "let's save people" mode now.

Yup lame. Throw all the hand grenades over the wall at the trucks and mow down the survivors while they are sitting there. Vultures over.

Sneak out a back way in the dark and flank them as well. They are sitting in the middle of an open parking lot while you have walls and the advantage of hitting them from multiple directions. Hell she went all commando on the Native American settlement last season even, and set up multiple ambushes at the dam where they could attack and fall back, so she knows what she is doing. Zero excuse for her not to immediately come up with a similar plan to run them off.

It amazes me how much damage one person can do to an entire franchise, but Gimple has hurt the two shows under TWD umbrella beyond repair (in the case of TWD mostly) at this point imo.

Can't blame one person though, because if AMC had a problem with it they could replace him.

He also oversaw the best seasons of TWD when he got promoted.

Also true. At some point they started trying to be really faithful to the comics though, especially with Negan and the Saviors. He just isn't a good character for tv and the storyline was never going to translate well with how they did it.

Worst part. Saviours were hundreds of battle hardened soldiers. These guys who have apparently f***ed Nick and friends for yeasrs but have at most a few dozen guys in RVs and ambulances. They could have killed them all up on the walls.

 

[Bjorn Le]

Good start but probably only because our “heroes” are getting their asses kicked.

 

[Karnage]

Is it just me or are they teasing that Maddison is dead? Please let Madison be dead

 

[Bjorn Le]

And now it’s been bad again. Nick and friends never would have let someone go like that before but all of a sudden they do now, at the worst possible time?

 

[Bjorn Le]

Lol, and instead of clearing out the walkers like three people could easily do they do something dangerous.

 

[Bjorn Le]

Haha Nick dies. Do stupid things win stupid prizes.

I thought about what that girl was going to do when her adoptive father was killed.

 

[TheBluePenguin]

Well that was freaking stupid, the actor who carried the show the first two seasons, he better have asked to be off the show or gimple needs to be fired off this one also

 

[SIU LAW]

Per an article I read online, the actor did ask to be written off the show to pursue other opportunities. Apparently the request was made before the new showrunners took over.

Seems questionable, since they could have just not had him in the show this season as his fate after the dam explosion was ambiguous.

Didn't think of this. Has it been established that the group has a new home? I don't recall. So far we've only seen Madison in flashbacks. But I doubt they'd kill her off, honestly.

Was not expecting Nick to die. Damn.

 

[TomPlex]

I wonder if this means the end of the "THEN" timeline? I can't see how they go on without Nick in that timeline. Or maybe he's off the show but filmed the scenes that they needed him for?

 

[Asheville]

Disappointed in Dillane's decision. Only way I'm okay with Nick's death is if it elevates Strand into a bigger role. Now if Strand dies? Then I'm definitely done.

 

[Bjorn Le]

OK with Nicks death because it means we’re one step closer to having Strand as our only original character. Which is awesome. I like the two new characters they introduced so if they’re on more that will be nice. The cowboy is great.

 

[Asheville]

Strand, Morgan, Cowboy, Salazar

Those are all the male "good guys."

Morgan is a TWD character and Salazar is MIA. So we've got two male characters, and seeing as Dillahunt is the prototypical TV one-off character actor (i.e. red-shirt fodder), we can only depend on Domingo being the main male character (this show is his only significant screen character).

I don't know, I could definitely see the John Dorie character sticking around. Now whether the show itself will survive is another story...

 

[Bjorn Le]

Could definitely see Cowboy staying. He’s beyond competent at surviving. But than again that’s never stopped Walking Dead writers.

I finally got around to watching the full episode, and it sucked. They have butchered Madison as a character, what awful writing. Episode was full of things you have typically seen in TWD for the last few years like characters doing horribly stupid things, shallow characters, messy writing, etc. I hate Scott Gimple.
