Thought I would do a thread for FTWD episodes.
I am not as invested in these characters or their stores as I am with TWD but I did find as the season progressed I began to like the show more but it was a slow start.
I think being on a boat on the ocean during the ZA could be ideal but that would be boring for the show haha so I am sure it will not be as ideal as we think.
I guess like everyone else that is going thru TWD withdrawls FTWD will have to feed our walker obsession!
I probably won't watch it until later as I will be on the road for 3 hours on my way home from a scrapbooking retreat.

I'm hoping it picks up this season. I liked the last few episodes last season more than I like the first ones.
That boat doesn't look that big and I'm expecting some fireworks because of the close quarters and opposing ideas between the occupants.
I'm also waiting to see how they deal with the airplane that we have been seeing in the shorts they have been showing us.

how much time has elapsed in FTWD? gina none they will pick up right where they left off. If you are asking from beginning of the show to now, I think no more than a week, maybe 2.

I wasn't very clear i meant the time elapsed during season 1 - i figured it was no more than a week or two and we'll pick up right were we left off gina

The first two seasons of Walking Dead were painfully boring and slow. I'm willing to give FTWD another season.

I'm watching season again one right now. Looking forward to season two but I'm on the west coast so it will be a while. It just pisses me off that they killled off Travis' ex-wife. I really like that actor. She was good in Orange is the New Black.

Somehow, I made it through the whole first season without liking or being invested in any of the characters. I'll give it another go though, because otherwise I'd have to clean the house or finish my Spanish homework or do some other productive task. I'm a west coaster, so you won't be hearing from me for awhile.

About half way through now and by the lack of posts, I'd guess it was a very good/exciting episode

I'll keep watching, cause I'm a sucker. But I'm still not feeling the show. I hope the characters get better, they just don't hold a candle to Walking Dead characters.

I keep thinking I wanted to smack Laurie and Andrea to die often...and Carol annoyed ne at first Without a doubt, I'll throw Carl in too (though I like him now). But I simply don't care about any of the characters yet, it's complete ambivalence for me. I hope that will change, because I love the premise of the show, seeing things from the beginning. And I like them being on a boat. So I'll stick with it & hope it gets better.

I think Strand is the most interesting character to date. I like Daniel, too, but we didn't get much from him the episode.

Cracks me up that only Madison and Chris are from the US. It is almost a job requirement to be on TWD or FTWD that you be able to make the audience go, " HE'S ENGLISH???" (Or whatever nationality)

Okay thatbeach scene seriously all they have for weapons are rocks lol.
Their stupidity in wanting to help that boat of strays was ludicrous.
They could be infected and they don't have enough food probably for themselves let alone some strangers and those ppl would have over took that boat.

I'm still watching.
I like Strand. He's smart. And, I love that he is so assertive. 'It's my damn boat!' LOL! He didn't have to save any of them. I wonder if he has an agenda in doing so or he feels indebted to them for saving him from the sick arena. Either way, I look forward to seeing how his character plays out.
I thought seeing the bombing and burning along the coast was rather phenomenal visually. There is no where to go back to only forward. But, where?
As for the characters, their world has been turned upside down and shaken up severely. They are starting from the beginning without any help. Rick would have been toast had Dwayne and Morgan not found him and informed him how the new world worked.
Plus, we have to deal with a family who is mostly still intact--with teenagers and their teenage angst and stupidity. Would you want to have to deal with one teenager during the ZA, let alone 3--one grieving a mother, one a junkie, and one grieving her boyfriend? I'd drown myself. LOL!
So, I get Maddie. She hasn't got it. She still in help people mode and it is making her annoying.
You would think being on such a small boat they would see what the kids are up to. Alicia has long conversations with some guy on a radio and nobody notices. I don't know boats or radios. Wondered if what she was on was traceable and was he keeping her on long enough to trace. You know like they do with phones.
I was interested to see if we were going to see swimmers. Too bad one of them didn't get Nick. Though, I guess he managed to get his family and the dad/daughter this far.
Also, I want to know more about Daniel. Should be interesting dealing with an untrusting, grieving daughter.
If you compare to TWD, we basically came in on a fragmented group of people. Only a couple/few members from each family at most. They were wiser to their new realities. I think we have a couple of months for FTWD to catch up to where we began with TWD.
Anyway, I thought tonight's show was decent.
Off to bed. Class at 8.

Haha yeah that is true about Rick but they took in Daniel and his family and the stepson lol they filled their quota haha.
I like Strand but I am not sure if I believe this is his boat and house.
I totally get him being upset about the daughter and the radio and I am with you about tracing where they are. He seems to realize that you can't trust or help all people and yep I wonder at his motive for helping.
Ugh couldn't imagine being in a ZA with those teens.

I am really intrigued with Madison's past. I'm hoping that "dark side" will come out a little more, really flesh out her character.
ETA- I do think they have a really unique opportunity in the Walking Dead world, they get to make the story how they want. Don't get me wrong, I've loved the Comics, but we do know some of the story that way.
Did anyone watch Talking Dead? The set they created for the boat was so cool to see. I want an infinity pool like that!

I think Strand realizes he couldn't survive alone. He needs people to keep watch on that boat for him.

I'm hoping some new characters come along soon. Maybe they'll do the same for FTWD that Sasha, Tara, Abraham, etc did for TWD.
