Suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.

Only 20 minutes in but they are not building any interest in these characters for me. Getting bored.

The fact that everyone dying every second everywhere isn't rising up right now raises all sorts of questions about the dispersal of the virus or the incubation periods or w/e the gently caress but who cares since its a zombie magic anyway. Like for some reason all the drug people got effected but no one else in the city at the moment..weird.

To be fair, it's 20 minutes into a 90 minute run time.

What is that gif with the guy with long hair walking into a room and he's all "woooaaaooooaaaoooh" while multicolor lights flash all over? For the life of me I can not find it and it is all I can think of when I see drug kid.

I guess we assume the druggie girlfriend OD'd and had the zombie gene in her and then killed bit/ate the other junkies and transferred the virus to those guys, at least?

Yeah the fact of the matter is if something like what happened in the drug den happened anywhere else in the US at all (as the internet kid says it has) the situation would be somewhat common-knowledge at this point. Everyone had cell phone cams in 2010 and it's not like everyone would assume the vids from multiple states w/ the same poo poo happening is a hoax (especially since news organizations would be able to easily verify the deaths).

I know this is erring into nerd hairsplitting territory but what we're getting is so boring and they could have put more thought into what poo poo would actually be like.

I don't mind the pilot so far just the premise comes that WE as the viewer know more than what's going on but we are looking for the weirdness that should be occuring.

The pilot for The Walking Dead was fantastic though.

I won't get chance to watch this until later, but I'm hoping they are just gonna go all American Horror Story and have each season of Fear The Walking Dead be self-contained.
