We have a showrunner!  I don't know who this person is, but hey, it's news.

I don't care that I like some if the actors. I cannot let myself get sucked into this.

Or can I? I mean, at least there's no Negan.

[Mr. Sparkle]

I'm totally watching it, G-d help me. It's only 6 episodes, and at least we can make fun of it here.

Well that looks ……………………………🤔

[Mr. Sparkle]

I like Parker Posey, but that one looks particularly dumb.

"It's only 6 episodes!"  That's what I'll tell myself.

But the teaser didn’t say “6 episodes”; it said “6 stories”, which may mean something completely different.  Each “story” might span multiple episodes.

Does it mean anything if I say I’ve never heard of any of them? Maybe the Atlantic is wider than I’d imagined  🤔

[Mr. Sparkle]

No, I'm not familiar with any of them, and I've only heard of 2 of the shows. If the show is decent, I'll give credit where it's due. If not... 

I haven't found the direction to be the issue in the past few season of the main show and the spinoffs. It's the writing. 

[nodorothyparker]

Comic Con trailer. If any of these stories actually show us the fall of civilization, I'm willing to sit through a lot of stupid. Because in 11 seasons of the mother show and 7 of Fear, they've never missed an opportunity to not show us.

[raven]

I still haven't watched the last half of Fear but maybe will re-subscribe to see if Tales is worth watching.   I know, fool me once...

It is so freakin' awful. This Tales trailer looks way better, and I'm shocked to be saying that.

Is that supposed to be a young Heath, or someone who found Heath's glasses? 

[OoohMaggie]

As with the other trailer, looks promising but we all know what that means 🥺

Imagine Terry Crews did an event and didn't take his shirt off? No, I can't either. 

[OoohMaggie]

He’s looking a little flabby if I’m honest, I’ll have to send him some pointers 💪

Yeah - but keep in mind that at some point in time, somebody had to have said the same thing about Cutthroat Island….  😳

No, you're wrong, sir. No one said that, not even Renny Harlin's mother.

I guarantee the production exec who signed the papers committing his studio to millions in production costs thought it at least ONCE.

(Wonder where he’s working now….)

I watched the premiere special last night. The last one looks the worst. The Alpha one might be interesting. Might.

I just want to see a really good depiction of the first days of the outbreak,what we were all hoping that Fear would give us. What can they do in a few disjointed forty five minute episodes? 

[Mr. Sparkle]

Probably a lot of talking and characters we don't care about.

I’ve got to admit that the Anthony Edwards character is the only one that I’ve any genuine hope of being of any real interest, ‘Elpha’s’ interaction with the Barman, mmmmm not so much, but we live in hope. 

[Mr. Sparkle]

The bar part wasn't interesting, but the rest could be. That's a big maybe, of course. Great character, talented actor, and they screwed up Alpha. And Negan for that matter.

Well do enjoy, I’ve looked and as of yesterday there’s still no information as to how us second class citizens over here can watch it, I’m even willing to pay, not much obviously, but pay I would. It’s no wonder people resort to ‘other means’ to watch, for which AMC wouldn’t receive a penny, unfortunately I don’t have access to a Windows machine so I’m stuffed either way. It’s absolutely ridiculous 🙄, it’s a shame that the publicity and promotions department obviously share the same foresight and interest in the future of the show as do the writers 😭

Do they not have AMC+ across the pond?

The broadcast rights changed from Fox to a very obscure UK channel that hardly anyone had or would pay for, then it ended up under the Disney banner but now who knows, there’s no Info at all. Millions spent on advertising yet people who want to watch the damn show are left searching for rocking horse shit!
