Now on to my thoughts about this week's episode of FTWD ...

I adored this episode. I thought it was so fantastic and so well written. Everything that I hoped for was in it, well, save for one thing ...

I thought it really showed what would happen if the world started to break down. There would be some believers out there, like the teenager, but then others would be in denial. There would be a ton of misinformation out there and it would add to the chaos and ultimate disaster.

The only one that really didn't behave like a normal human being would was Madison. In order to protect your children, would you not tell them what was going on? It's not like her daughter, Alicia, is a toddler. She will be able to understand what has happened when her mother explains to her how the events unfolded. But to not tell her, puts her at risk. Maybe the writers are trying to say that she is in shock from killing the principal, but that is the part that I just don't understand. She has encountered the Walkers twice now, both times knowing that they must be killed. This time around, it should hit home more. She had to kill someone she knew intimately. It's not just her kid's friend. She looked into his eyes and had to do it herself. At that point, you tell your daughter.

You also don't wash the blood off when it is still not known how it is transmitted.

Get a new coat.

The husband, Travis, was still fantastic this week. He goes to get his son, but, now that I think about it, why doesn't he tell him what's going on to get him to come to him? Why let him be a petulant child at that point? Aren't there more important things going on? Also, when you ex-wife is arguing with you, tell her the truth. When she hangs up on the phone, you get to her house and you tell her what's going on. Why the secrecy? I get why the government might wait, but this is too much. Here's how simple it is "people are acting like they have rabies. They are eating people." Done. Then say, "now can we get our son here?"

The answer would be yes, a resounding, yes.

I do get why Travis, his son, and ex would hide out. They are thinking once the police get things calm, there will be a reprieve, and they will be able to flee.

The cool thing is yes, they thought they had more time. I like that. That's cool.

However, by the time they either have to flee this establishment, or there is a reprieve, more people will know what is going on and the panic and chaos that they could have beat will ensure. It's like concert traffic, they are too late at this point to beat the madness.

I also thought it was cool when the police officer was stockpiling water. That would for sure happen. Once you'd seen what he'd seen, and there is no larger government response? That would absolutely be plausible.

Now, at this point, I think the government would have (?) to tell people. Riots are breaking out because people do not know what is going on. I'm sure part of the problem is the government wants to try and keep mass chaos from happening. However, that is ALREADY happening, so time to inform. However, in defense, it seems like maybe the government in the show doesn't know what is going on. I'm not sure that is plausible either.

Plus, on the feasibility of the government, wouldn't they tell the police officers on the ground? I find it hard to believe that they wouldn't.

Well, I started this post stating that I really enjoyed this episode and then proceeded to tear it apart. I will stand by the statement that I did very much enjoy the episode. The only thing that was really glaring was the fact that the mother wouldn't tell the daughter what was going on.

I can't wait until next week!

Now, onto my blog about the new show - Fear The Walking Dead.

I really liked it! I thought that some people who wanted it to leap right into TWD arena are missing what could, and will, make this show so great, the character development, the slow burn, and the backstory.

It's kind of the opposite of TWD. We still barely know about the lives of some of the characters on TWD. In a way, that's telling for that show. It doesn't matter for them anymore who they were. The new reality is that they have to deal with.

Here, in FTWD, we get to start from scratch. We get to see the evolution. I think the concept is magnificent. We get to truly see how society would react to a breakdown. A massive breakdown.

One of my biggest pet-peeves in TWD is that the characters have not acted like people would in an apocalypse that far into development.

Here, on FTWD, we get a chance for the show to excel at showing that -- and I think they want to. Travis, the father figure, is a teacher. He was teaching his students about the laws of chaos and of nature. Therefore, that seems to be a focal point, a theme if you will, for the show. I would love to see this show more about the breakdown of relationships, the strengthening of some, the nature of who survives and who doesn't. That would be cooler than just making a second TWD. I think there are some fans out there who would want that, and that's cool, but this has the chance to be a true prequel. A true companion show, not just a spinoff.

So far Travis, the father, and Nick, the son of Madison, are by far the best. Nick is the standout. He is selling this role like nobody's business. Well done actor Frank Dillane, well done.

Kim Dickens has been a fave of mine for awhile, however, she's not doing it for me in the show, well, at least not yet.

She was fabulous in Lost, superb in Deadwood, and perfectly adequate in House of Cards. I'm just not seeing the emotion, the kindness, the intensity. She has glimmers, but it's not quite there yet. She doesn't seem to show tortured over her son very well. I get strong, but I have the sense she is trying to portray a reserved torture, it's just not coming across. She can ... she did it very well in Deadwood. I'm just gonna chalk it up to new character jitters.

The only caveat I have of the show so far is the emotion. The sudden fear. The slightly worried looks of what is going on in their community. I'm sorry, but at my work, if half of everyone was out for "the flu" that is all we would be talking about. That's not even with any zombie element (duh). I feel like the show is too far away from people talking about what is going on. Look at the recent Ebola scare in Africa. Everyone, even the government, was nonstop talking about it. A handful of people were being treated in America for Ebola and it was all over the news. In this show, a few states have had outbreaks and it's a little too ho-hum for me. It would be cooler if the show had a few more sideways glances. I few more, hey sweetie, wash your hands, there is a terrible flu going around. That would seem a bit more realistic to me.

Any-who, I'm super excited for next week to see if they improve upon some of the things I would like to see. However, unlike others, I would like to wait for more Walkers. If more Walkers come, then that means we've missed the opportunity to have something really special in this show.
