I too like the build up...I do know when the Son of Travis is up on the roof doing a video of the stuff he says it has been nine days since the military has come to town. I too like the time lines you do. I know you have to pay attention for when they actually tell you.
At what time the webisodes take place they haven't made it clear.

I rewatched the last few episodes. The season ends on the morning of Day 15, the day they were meant to be "humanely terminated." If the termination did go ahead, by then they were out at Strand's house.
One thing I didn't hear first time through which would have made the ending better for me, was that the field hospital and army camp were set up at a community college just two miles from the El Sereno compound that the family lived in. So it makes sense that Daniel could easily go there to check on the walkers in the Arena, and that when they left the compound by car they were almost instantly at the camp.

Season 2 starting date is announced: Sunday April 10th
It will be a split season, with the part two date announced later.
I think TWD ends March 27th, so there will be one week off!

Good episode. LA is burning... wil San Diego be any better, if they actually get there? The "next on" is a bit of a give away that they have to land.

Season 2 and I still don't have a love for any of them. The mom,still bugs me. Nick and his sister,,could they be any more stupid? They will get them all killed. Well maybe that would be a good thing. lol
Now from,the talking dead preview, could the father be any more stupid,,to yell out for anyone? I thought these people would be smarter than this by now. Hahaha
It might say a lot .... I still don't know anyone's name except Strand and Nick.
Season,2 looks more interesting, just wish the characters were More interesting. Idk yet 😏
Just glad Chris Hardwick is still around 🤗

Names, for everyone's reference (I also had to write them down again)
Dad: Travis
Mum: Madison
Crazy looking son: Nick
Stupid daughter: Alicia
Travis' son: Chris
It's my yacht: Strand
Scary dad: Daniel
His daughter: Ofelia
15 episodes this season, but only seven in this "half"... I thought it would get going a bit quicker. All that investment in the yacht and then they seem to be off of it almost immediately, was it so they could have the setting be somewhere other than LA?

The only 2 I like are Strand and Nick. Well, maybe 3, I like the old guy. I was thinking tonight that I hope it's like WD and they kill off main characters!!!!
That's the main problem with this show, the main people suck, I dont care about them and truly only watch this cuz I'm having WD withdrawals

Haha, I think that's the only reason I'm watching too Pamy
Thanks Kitt, but I think if I was,really into it as much as,TWD I would have known them.
Also, I really don't care if any of them die. I'm okay with the old guy and his daughter. That's it!!!!
Ps.... I think I'm REALLY going to love the funny or die stuff for this show. Lol

I rewatched the whole first season
this weekend and liked it more than the first time and I liked it then once it got going. I feel more invested in the characters than I did after the initial viewing. For me I thought it was a good start and want to see where they go with things on the water. As well I am interested in what Strand is up to.
I think with the three kids the casting call must have been for three miserable looking teenagers please. Not that this is some happy time so I don't expect goofy grins but of the three only Nick seems to have any change in facial. expression.

I think the problem with this is we don't have a hero or person we can empathize with.
When Walking Dead began it was all Rick, we got to know him and thru him the rest of the group. However with FTWD we were thrown into a group of people who are dealing with the daily drama of life in a blended but broken family. Hard to cheer for any of them because they were bickering with each other from the get-go.

I really like FTWD! I'm happy to watch these characters fumble and whine and argue and make mistakes as their characters develop. They are, after all, just typical suburbanites. When TWD started, there were some characters I didn't like at all. Today I love them. (I would've been fine with either/both Carl and Daryl getting bitten in season one!)
The test of the success of the writing of FTWD is to compare these characters to their former selves after they have lived in a fight-or-be-eaten world for awhile. If TWD had started out at the point just after they arrived in Alexandria, I think a lot of us would have hated Rick. He was crazy and paranoid and violent and he was talking about "taking over" Alexandria. Had we not seen his character develop, we would've seen him as the villain. None of the characters in TWD are the same people they were when the series started.
I say give the oblivious L.A. teachers and surly teens a chance. There's plenty of room for character development with these guys! I am 100% confident that these characters will change in ways that will surprise us all.

Ditto SFJF!
I've liked FTWD from the start... slow build-up and all. I loved knowing that their world was coming to end when they thought their biggest problem was Nick being a drug addict. I like seeing how "normal, average" folk respond to the outbreak. To me, that is what was so fascinating about Season 1.
Everything is so new these folks, they are so naive... they haven't leaned that other survivors can be more dangerous than the walkers.

I found on the binge rewatch that I was thinking this really is pretty terrifying. Civilisation is slowly crumbling around them bringing out the worst and the best in people. they don't know what is really going on, how it started and there is no one to tell them. They still have faith that it will be sorted.

I agree, this is showing normal people with no skills (that they've realised), still hanging on to their old ways because they can't quite believe where they are yet. It wouldn't be right if they made good decisions or immediately became new people.
But I think Terolyn had a good point about it would have been better with a hero or centre person. They wouldn't have had to be particularly good, or even reacting well, but I think the show does miss a bit of heart that we had immediately with Rick, where we would have liked him and supported him even if he wasn't a hero, because we knew he was a good guy. I don't think we have that with anyone here... yet... although I bet we will with time.

Maybe they (the writers) have selected a hero... but we need to see his/her growth to assuming that role first. To me, Rick was wired a hero because he was a cop... so that came naturally to him... None of these people have any that type of background... that we know of...
These characters are still growing and learning... surely one of them will transform into the hero.

I think they thought Travis would be a hero but he just isnt charming at all. Strand has charm and intrigue, he will be my hero LOL I love he and Nick together

I wondered if they intended it to be Travis too. He hasn't clicked with me though, the only one I'm invested in so far is Nick, and I like the Strand story potential.

I've been watching this series. I haven't been looking for a "hero" at this point, just interested to see how the storyline eventually unfolds.
I'm very interested in seeing how Strand's backstory unfolds. I'm intrigued by him. All the characters will have backstories, so we've all got a lot to look forward too.
One think I've noticed about the walkers is that they aren't as yuckie and thrashed as the walkers on TWD. I guess it's because these are freshly turned walkers?

Yes, they said they would be fresher looking because they are all new and not as rotten. But I thought they were already a lot worse looking than they were last season, which I guess makes sense, some last season were only days old, now they're mostly weeks old, assuming just about everyone turned at around the same time.

Omgosh! 'could tonight's show have been anymore of a snooze fest ? Wow, I truly don't know how this show got picked up for season 3.
They really need to make us want to root for these people.
I cared more for this family on the island.
Ugh
