I think it's being handled right, I don't get any of the weak acting/ plot vibes off of it that some of y'all do.. but it could happen... we sure don't want the initials to come to mean F*** The Walking Dead and watch audience numbers drop off....

I kinda liked the mom the least, even though I've seen and liked her in other things.
And, yeah. They didshuttle the old guy downstairs in a hurry, didn't they?
...Am I the only one that thought the doctor resembled the red-headed Mythbuster?
That would have been cool tie in.I didn't think anything of it, except thatI had to look very closely when they showed him again... and it wasn't him. Darn it.he 'coded' and they were in a rush to get him to surgery (or wherever they thought they could help him better than in the room).
And I thought at first that the doc was the guy form the hospital Beth was in in Atlanta!
Hey everyone. I don't have time today to read all of your thoughts but I skimmed the last few pages. Looks like you guys are divided!
Personally I didn't love it but like a couple of people said they are setting up time, place, and character development. Still thought it was sort of slow as we all know what happens. I do not like Nick at all. Maybe that will change. We knew it wouldn't be nearly as good as the original though. I quit watching Talking Dead because I don't want to get WD burnout. Is it possible? For me, yes. I LOVE the original show and I'll watch this again to see where it goes but I can't promise to stick with it to the bitter end.

I don't like Nick, either .....sorry, guys!
I am such a chicken lol. I wasn't going to say this until someone else did
I don't care for Nick either... He's too androgenic or something for me. I don't much care if the rest of the cast gets eaten by zombies either

I got the feeling that this is aimed at teens--to get a bigger share of that market. AMC hasn't hit that demographic yet with their programming.I reckon the one thing that is rubbing me as a viewer - is the young cast. Im not really into the next generation thing. I cant think of any kids in TWD apart from obvious, so I'm hoping it wont be too long before the young get munched, and the adults settle in to looking for a sheriff to lead them on .
That's what I'm saying. I think people expected TWD. They compare it. But this is a completely different show. It's a build-up with normal society descending into decline. Not "Holy sh!t! I'm surrounded by zombies!"I didn't like the premier. It was so boring and nothing really seemed to happen, which is bad considering the extra long run time the first episode had. The flaws of the premier are made even more obvious when you compare it to the excellent premier of its parent show. In the Walking Dead, you were immediately drawn to Rick, you wanted to follow him, hoping he'd find his family. Shane was interesting, fun to watch on screen. You had likeable characters like Dale, quirky characters like Glenn...
In Fear the Walking Dead, the characters were just bad. I can't remember any of their names, nor am I invested in their story. And I know that this shoWw is supposed to depict the early stages of the outbreak, so I shouldn't expect a ton of action right away, but the buildup so far is just too slow. This episode spent more time on themes of drug addiction and dysfunctional families. The zombie stuff took a back seat to drama, and if I'm watching a show called Fear the Walking Dead, well, I want to fear the Walking Dead.
I'll still watch next week, because the premise is intriguing, and it might just take a couple episodes to get going, but I definitely was not impressed with the first installation.
