Fear The Walking Dead Episode 1 Rant

Fear the Walking Dead?

Fuck the Walking Dead.

Nothing happens in the main series. Even less happens in the spin-off series.

Every character is fine talking in exposition, 'Look, kid, you got bullied, but now you are tutoring your bully! You're smart!'

'How come you're not in class? Is it because you are smart enough to teach it, but you also don't always necessarily play by the rules?'

But then they have trouble talking about the dead rising, and cannibals. Why didn't the main character (I assume) just be straight up about the cannibal in the shooting gallery (I actually liked that line)?
And then the step-father went to the scene of the zombies? In LA? Fuck that. Even if your son was hallucinating, you are still in LA.

Which brings me to my next point. I'm not sure if it was only in the comics, or if it was in the show as well. But a big reveal is that the living people are the walking dead, not the zombies. Which makes sense for this show, since it's set in LA. In which case you should definitely fear the people. I think the zombies detract from what you should fear.

Also, what the fuck was up with that black kid being the drug dealer? And then wanting to kill his mate? I know exactly how that scene came up in the writer's room. The writer's created a character, that was meant to symbolise lost innocence of the main character (I'm sorry, I didn't take any names). Then later on the studio came to the writers and was like, 'Hey, nothing happens in an entire hour.' Then the writers just decided to make the black nice guy a drug dealer, and then a fucking murderer. In for a penny. And then the writers justify it by having it as a twist.

And how fucking stupid is the mother? I get it, AMC can't have a sympathetic woman on their channel. But for fuck sake. Someone puts 4 and 4 in front of her, and she has 2 sets of 4. 4 and 4 is 8. Figure it out. People are rising from the dead. Kids are downright telling you that zombies are eating people. You investigate a murder and walk up to the zombie and get bit? Good. You're a dumbass. But also, wouldn't it have been better if the mother wasn't a complete pile of shit?

Also, we know from The Walking Dead (now known as 'Not the completely shit one') that people come back from the dead regardless of being bit or not. The first episode takes place over a couple of days. Do you know how many people die a day? Fucking heaps. I'd say Family Guy was spot on. People would realise that people weren't dying in 10 seconds. It would be all over the news. It was just unreal that the only person who met 2 zombies was a heroin addict. Fucking hell.

I can't wait for the next episode. Just kidding. Fuck this show.
