No. A certain someone with a certain something has not been introduced yet...if they are introduced. So, yes, maybe?

Too many contrived coincidences in this episode, but this is television after all.

So what's the deal behind Fear the Walking Dead, beside being a cash-in that is? Will it be another endless spinoff to the already endless TWD?

Fear TWD was absolutely terrible. Some parts were bad enough to be good, but overall it seemed like the Lifetime channel version of TWD.

It was intro set up. It wasn't terrible, but it will need a payoff in upcoming episodes. I am really looking forward to the outbreak aspect. To me it was not bad/not great and a wait and see.

It is a wait and see, but that episode was terrible. Not writing off the series, but that pilot was Buzz's girlfriend.

None of the characters are likable, the writing was atrocious, and the camera work is paint by numbers.

I was included with a group of six to watch the pilot, five of us did not like it one bit, and one of us fell asleep.

We'll see where the show goes, but it is a terrible sign when a viewer doesn't remember a single characters name.

It was very slow paced and also there was this really scary music in scenes that didn't need it. Still the quality of the camerawork and lighting is excellent and the acting not bad at all. I do like this time though. Rght at the beginning of an outbreak, it reminds me of Dawn of the dead. (the remake of course). So I guess next in the episode we will find out what happened to the sisters' boyfriend. Did he get bit or is he fighting off zombies trapped somewhere? I'm gonna tune in.

But pretty soon on september 11th, Z-Nation returns for the second season. I'm really looking formward to that. If you can forgive the much smaller budget, you'll find something quite nice. It has more action and moves faster. Way more zombies.

Wow, episode 2 was great! It gets two thumbs up.
I'm constantly wondering how many have turned already.
Will they ever get to leave the city? I hope soon.
I'm a fan.
