    Good episode and creepy in parts. Can't wait to see Chris made zombie breakfast.

    I suspected when I heard weeks ago about the destination being Mexico, and given the subject matter of this show, that La Nina Blanca would eventually make her appearance.
    Echoes of the barn on Hershel's farm, but I think the cultural differences south of the border (especially the syncretic religious ideas behind the actions of Celia and the others involved) should make for some interesting twists and conflicts ahead.
    This was my favourite episode of FTWD so far.

    Really liked this one too. Interested to see where it goes from here - seems like they might be running around Mexico for a while.

    +1. Real standout of this spin off for me.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    This was by far the strongest episode of the season , was getting close to dropping this show

    I really enjoyed this episode and it was needed. Chris, Strand and Daniel are becoming very interesting and likable characters.

    The episode definitely echoed the main show with Hershel and the barn and now Celia and the cellar. Daniels PTSD surfaces again when he couldn't kill the child walker, it will be interesting to see what direction that will take him. I also liked the little Owl references in the medallion on the boat and then carved into the tree that distracted Nick. Owls are pretty significant in Mexican culture, representing death and destruction.

    Quite looking forward to next weeks episode now, I can't see Celia being too pleased that Strand didn't kill himself either.

    Chris, seriously? He's the most annoying one out of all of them, hope he gets killed soon.

    Call me morbid but there's not enough death in this. And I'm seriously frustrated with the cushy life they're living, where's the survivalism!

    Getting bored with this show now, it's more of a crappy soap than a zombie apocalypse programme.

    .

    I meant likable as in his psychotic turn is making him and the show interesting, because it was starting to lull in parts.

    Soooooo, Madison had to give up her weapons on entering the compound. Bit sloppy for her to have one by the bed or are we to assume she just snuck one in?

    Very strong episode. I am liking the Mexican setting.

    I reckon were due a big death next week. I reckon the most of the cartels would of survived due to their strength and firepower

    good episode, end of the boat story I guess, it will be interesting if they use it again or stay land based? one small thing I found amusing , when they were killing the walkers at the church they didnt show the little girl being killed (ahh thats cute says I, Americans) in the next shot the alter boy gets it in full camera view and I was like wtf!

    The blonde bint is by far the worst actress to ever grace tv.

    They might surprise us by killing the closest thing to a leader/Rick

    Average episode. Really not feeling this show too much. I just don't like the way it is filmed , It feels cheap and It's just off somehow compared to TWD. They have good actors but i don't really like any of the characters if they all died and they got new ones it really wouldn't bother me.
    Got a bit excited when i seen Dougray Scott , i thought oh he's a good actor maybe the show will pick up. Well he didn't hang around long enough to help the show. I'll keep watching it as it's the second best tv show with zombies in it and i'd pretty much watch anything with zombies in it.

    I think she'll be more upset with Strand putting a bullet in his head. She has now lost her 'boy' forever. Don't think I'd be eating any of the home cooked meals.

    We just need Madison and Chris to get eaten soon.

    Really enjoyed this episode. I'm enjoying the character development of Nick. The Chris story is so annoying; Alicia may end up throwing him to the cellar zombies and it'll be a Madison v Travis showdown, splitting the group.

    There was a lot of on-line reaction to this (the dog in particular*) so I decided to watch...better by the shows own standards but still too many plot holes and unanswered questions.

    I could start listing everything wrong with the episode but I don't want to continually pi$$ on something people here like but the show just seems to be surviving because of its more famous namesake and not on any real merit of its own. (Will the Z being kept because they were friends/family in Hershel's barnin the cellar be released accidentally or on purpose? I think they could be released as a decoy, if crazy-momma turns sour on the newly arrived zombies)


    The incident with the dog down the chute provoked some concern on an American website I frequent; people were upset and wanted the child to be thrown down instead! The irony of wanting to kill a child to save a dog some suffering was lost on them and they had no qualms with men, women and children bleeding from their eyes before dying either...:rolleyes:

    'tis the living we need concern ourselves with when the dead do rise.

    The show would probably focus on their emotional journey as zombies and the conflict caused by their long-haired turds of children. (she has nice knockers though, so that's 2 reasons why I want her to not die just yet)

    Chris is a maniac i reckon he's gonna end up killing his father


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,469 ✭✭✭Olishi4


    Just watched the episode last night. It was alright.

    Can't quite put my finger on it but there is something missing in this show. In TWD, the first scene with the little blonde zombie girl is so sad and shocking or when The Governer kept his child yet in this they had kid zombies and it didn't have the same impact. There is something not as dark or believable about it.

    Cecelia mentioned that her son would be back so I hope he doesn't show up from the boat because they didn't kill him and said he turned. I'd find him turning up and killing her or biting her predictable and a bit far fetched but I got the feeling they might go there.

    I think with Chris, they are trying to do some kind of story similar to the Shane story but it's just not working.

    In the last episode 5, the romantic thing with Alicia and your man was really ridiculous.
