BOOOOOOOORING!

It takes REAL lack of talent to take a known quality product and story line and then make the collapse of civilization "Boring"

But the producers of FTWD have done it!

Couldn’t even watch Talking Dead. It had the father on it, and he’s just a plain terrible actor.

And another Brit(by way of New Zealand)

The other Brits on WD did fine(even Morgan) But this guy is unlikable!

They need to go back to the 2 dozen who were stranded out in the water and let us exchange the current cast for some of them.

There are a lot of Brit, Aussie and NZ actors who show up on US TV series.

At this point, I’m rooting for the zombies.

The entire cast of "main characters" in FTWD are so totally unlikable, I have been and am rooting for the Zombie "walkers" to infect and kill them all off so that the series can "reboot" with a group of decent, smart people the audience would even remotely begin to care about.

As for the original cast of misfits, I couldn't care less if they live or die, they are that flawed and utterly unlikable, not to mention STUPID.

Apparently, the show runner is aiming for the “sullen teenager” demographic, because we’got three of those. I wonder how that’s working out for them.

A kid who knew about the danger AND was proactive in getting supplies - and the teacher mother knew he was alone. Protecting him and using him to help support and guard the family should have been part of the mother’s priorities - along with getting the food from the school they were ostensibly there to get.
Instead, they kill a zombie and flee, leaving food and medicine though this is likely the last safe time to get it.
This just proves most Californians are too stupid to survive.

I can see them not wanting to pick up survivors when they don’t have much food - or don’t want to lose control of the ship to newcomers.

So why are you still watching? Masochist, or just looking for something to bitch about?

You are absolutely right "Nerd Zit Boy", was the ONLY CHARACTER in the entire show who acted like a normal human being in the midst of the circumstances! On top of that, he's the only character in the entire series who has a clue as to what is really going on, how to fight against it, how to protect himself, and how to prep and keep one's self safe and alive in the midst of it.

Not only did he warn "Stupid Guidance Counselor Mom" about what was happening a number of times to no avail; his diagnosis and warning of the situation and how to protect yourself, say alive and thrive against the Zombies was physically demonstrated to "Wise (STUPID) Guidance Counselor Mom", and what does she do after seeing and experiencing this all first-hand numerous times?

How does "Wise (STUPID) Guidance Counselor Mom" respond when she has THE ONE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE THE ONE PERSON, THE ONE ASSET WHO CAN HELP SAVE AND PROTECT HER ridiculous "family of misfts" with her? Does she say to him, like any normal thinking human being would:

"Say, since you have absolutely no one to look after you because your mom and dad are missing (and most likely dead), you seem to have a very good idea about what is taking place; why don't you come home with me where we can help each other stay safe?"

NO! "Wise (STUPID) Guidance Counselor Mom" drives him to his house located on a deserted, Zombie attacked street, asks him "are you going to be alright? (NO, I'm going to get over-run trying to fight off the hordes of flesh eating Zombie "walkers" all by myself, end up dying a horrible death and end up becoming Zombie "walker" food, you dolt!")" To which he politely answers "yes", she then tells him to "take care of himself" (Yeah like that's going to work) and then promptly drives away!

Like I said in an earlier post; the misfit "family cast" of "main characters" are all so utterly unlikable I have been and am rooting for the Zombie "walkers" to infect or kill them ALL OFF the hopes the series will reboot with an entirely new cast of lead caracters the audience would even begin to care about.

My FRST CHOICE for a new set of lead "main characters" would be "Nerd Zit Boy"! So far he's the only one who I actually even care about; he "has a clue", he's proven resourceful at prepping and killing Zombie "walkers".

Go "Nerd Zit Boy"!

You were absolutely correct in your analysis. Great minds think alike, check out my post number 52.

The writers, story and cast of FTWD are NOTHING SHORT OF HORRIBLE! Given the strength of characters, writing, story and "The Walking Dead" franchise, you would have thought FTWD set in LA would have been tremendously exciting and a sure fire hit!

Sadly FTWD is the very ANTITHESIS OF EVERYTHING that "The Walking Dead" is in every way! How everyone involved could consistently, week after week turn a sure-fire gold mine into a steaming pile of poo, every episode, on a weekly basis is totally unfathomable.

Given how absolutely terrible the first season of FTWD was, you would have thouht "the powers that be" would have taken the hint nd made some very drastc, much needed changes, but it appears they are just as dumb and "clueless" as their misfit cast of FTWD characters. It is clear from FTWD season 2 episode 1 they have kearnd nothing from the debacle that is FTWD!

"Apparently folks, this is ""as good as it gets" as far as FTWD goes, and those audience members foolishly holding on in the vain hope (just like every episode in season 1) that some how, magically "next week's episode will be better" are wasting their time. FTWD, along with the entire cast (and writers) needs to die a quick death to put us all out of our collective misery!

Don't waste your time watching this dog, just chalk FTWD up as a show trying to "skate" off of the success of The Walking Dead in order to milk the suckers for $.

I’m having a few good laughs reading the commentary of tonight’s episode on the IMDB message board.

“John Carpenter called. He wants his music back.”
*chuckle*
