I really liked both episodes. I have a question though. Even if a person isn't bitten and they died from natural causes, wouldn't they still turn? I ask because I missed the first 2 seasons to the Walking Dead, and up until now, I had no idea how it all began.
BTW, I was just thinking that the Walking Dead, and Fear the Walking Dead are in my opinion the best shows out there right after Game of Thrones.

The Walking Dead sources do not explain the origins and outbreak of the culprit virus in detail; they offer some clues at maximum. While events of season 1 of Fear the Walking Dead take place during the outbreak phase of the culprit virus, origins of this virus remains a mystery. Popular assumptions are that this virus is airborne or waterborne.

Thank you. I was wondering about that. It's crazy how a simple idea like writing about zombies, and/or vampires seem to be the most interesting and lucrative stories that have been historically written. I mean when written properly that is. Again, thanks for the reply.
This last episode was a snoozer. Three episodes in and im gathering that the show runners are trying to show us how perfectly sane and compassionate people turn into savages over time. Problem with that is, we already have a show where that transformation has taken place, making this show comparatively very boring. The main guy especially is probably meant to be the best example of it... how someone goes from not liking guns, to being a complete gun-wielding savage. But again, we already have that in the other show.
Really, all of these characters are annoying, except for the Mexican father who appears to be the only one who gets it. If one more person tries to help a zombie after seeing that they cant be helped, im gonna lose my shit.
IMO, this show is not well-done.
The scale and intensity of the events are not being properly depicted. The show is restricted to a handful of characters which is not working. This show had the premise which could accommodate large number of characters for short roles to facilitate action-sequences, progression of events and make the show interesting aside from main characters. In this manner, reactions such as show being a slowpoke could be effectively countered.
3rd episode have aired and military has arrived! Too fast. Turning FTWD into another TWD (too fast) makes no sense. Perhaps AMC will learn that firing Frank Darabont was not a good decision.
IMO, Season 1 should have spanned 10 - 12 episodes and military should have arrived in the end. Season 1 should have been focused on spread of infection, isolated events, character development and spread of panic. Season 2 should have been focused on military action.
Too late now.

You should have expected the progression of events to be fast. The show focuses on the outbreak in one of the most densely populated metropolitan cities in america.
The only way to get a show you want is if this were in like Montana.

Yeah I know what you mean, the School Councillor chick (forget her name) nearly had me screaming at the TV about how stupid she was acting at times. It was as if she forgot that the Principal nearly bit her boobs off a day earlier. Then by the end of the 3rd episode she seems to finally get it. I wonder how a real world government would deal with something like this? Anyway, I like both shows, and am truly baffled how an idea as simple as this makes for the best shows on TV.

I should imagine that its due to the budget. The first 4 eps will probably be snoozers and then part way thru the 5 they will try to show the SHIT Hitting the Fan, and last ep will probably be balls to the wall.
,at least I hope. Cause I am not liking this show as it is.

What I'm lost on is everyone's reaction. Why do so many zombie shows/movies all exist in worlds where no one has ever seen or read anything on zombies of any kind? Yeah, it's your neighbor, you like her, but you know every zombie you've seen so far kills everything it can, so you ice her.
And wtf was the teacher doing when he got home trying to reason with the other neighbor? Just straight dumb af.
Yeah, but its kinda hard to just up and accept "Oh, there's zombies now, and all my friends and family are dead, and they're all zombies too, and they're trying to kill and eat me, so that I can be a zombie now, so I am forced to kill them before they kill me."
I'd be near too upset to defend myself, let-alone kill off my whole family.
