Fear the Walking Dead

http://www.cnn.com/2015/03/28/entertain ... index.html

Quote:
While AMC has been tight-lipped on the series' premise, sources tell "The Hollywood Reporter" that the drama is a prequel that takes place in Los Angeles at the onset of the zombie outbreak. AMC confirmed that the companion series is set in Los Angeles but revealed nothing more beyond that it will focus on new characters and storylines.


Quote:
Cliff Curtis ("Gang Related") stars as Sean Cabrera, a teacher who shares a son with his ex-wife. "Sons of Anarchy's" Kim Dickens is set to co-star as Nancy, a guidance counselor who works at the school with Sean and is seeing him romantically. Frank Dillane ("Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince") co-stars as Nancy's son Nick, who has battled a drug problem. And Alycia Debnam Carey ("Into the Woods") is will play Nancy's ambitious daughter, Ashley, who is the polar opposite of Nick and dreams of leaving Los Angeles for Berkeley when the apocalypse strikes.

"Fear The Walking Dead" will premiere in the late summer with season two set for 2016. An official premiere date has not yet been announced. The season five finale of the flagship series airs Sunday at 9 p.m.

Is the title supposed to mean something, or is it just a crappy title?

Since this is being produced by AMC, I assume this is an official spinoff. If it wasn't AMC, I would have strongly suspected it of being produced by The Asylum.

For zombie lovers, it has been a great couple of years.

The trailer looks promising to me. I love the idea of taking a closer look at the 'beginning of the end'. My concern is that, once we've gotten a good long and detailed look at that 'start of the Apocalypse', which we did NOT get in the original series, where does it go? How can it become any different from the original show, just with a different group(s) of survivors? I think it can get played out pretty quick that way.

Also, I am yet to hear an explanation for the title. Seriously, 'Fear The Walking Dead' is a really lousy friggen title unless it has some sort of hidden meaning that I'm not seeing.

Keeping an open mind and my fingers crossed that this turns out to be something more than a cynical money-grab.

It was okay. Very slow start. Glad that they're not stretching out the creation of the zombies over two many episodes. We'll watch for sure.

I heard the characters were more stupid than in the first show, like that's possible. I yell enough at the TV during the first one.

Time will tell. They seemed extremely stupid from the viewpoint of the audience that already knew what is about to happen.
Spoiler: show
The "you're crazy" and "you're paranoid" comments may stop once the characters see more footage of, and come in contact with, the walkers.

watched it today. Liked the slow burn approach.

The only thing is, the characters so far are all pretty unlikeable . . . wont really care when, or if any of them get it in the neck

I felt like I was watching a zombie movie starring Johnny Depp.

That's what I said to my wife. I used that David Spade "Hey. Johnny Depp called. He wants his DNA back." line.

I dug the first episode. I think because its a spin-off, with a built in audience, it will take it time to let the origin grow organically, something the originals pilot could not chance.
