Summer 2015



From EW:

Fear the Walking Dead has come alive!

AMC has released the first promo for The Walking Dead companion series, which reveals a pretty big spoiler. A newscaster notes that everyone should get their flu shot because five different states are reporting a strange virus, which definitively confirms that Fear the Walking Dead does take place during the initial outbreak of the zombie apocalypse—though it won’t just be a prequel.

The new series—which hails from Walking Dead execs Robert Kirkman, Gale Anne Hurd, Greg Nicotero and David Alpert, along with Sons of Anarchy’s Dave Erickson—takes place in Los Angeles and stars Kim Dickens, Cliff Curtis, Frank Dillane, and Alycia Debnam. Will they all survive?

Mortality rates should be a lot higher, as people get bitten trying to operate the bullet button to swap in a fresh 10-round mag.

 

[JB Books]

I definitely think survivor rates are better in small towns.

I can suspend disbelief for the zombie premise, but in the original show, which takes place in the south, why do they never find a gun cabinet/safe/cache?

 

[Dalejbrass]

Cool....I'll tune in

 

[kennedy]

I like the story, but the title sucks

 

[71buickfreak]

I can't wait for this. It will absolutely be more bloody with TONS of zombie carnage.

 

[Powerman620]

Sounds like it's going to be a good show

+1

I'm only on season 2 now but come on. Nobody is carrying an AR or AK. Those SOBs are prolific in the USA. Not to mention the numerous M4s just laying around that they completely ignore. But by god they have their pump action shotguns and bolt action rifles to use.

Will watch mainly to fill void between TWD seasons.
