iRarelyWatchTV36 August 29, 2015 Share August 29, 2015 (edited) I speculate that my hopes for this episode are a bit higher than I'd like. As in; now that most of the exposition has been dealt with, let's really get into watching the fall of civilization as the problems start to get more and more noticeable & unable to 'sweep under the rug', metaphorically speaking. I know it won't happen this episode, but I can't wait until they reach the point where it becomes obvious... "Umm, the 'zombies' are starting to significantly outnumber the living people now... we might have a slight problem to invest a sliver of worry into; albeit that I stated that a bit ineloquently."

I speculate that there is a possibility that this episode shall not drag in time, nor seem repetitive, nor make me question the decision to make such a show as FTWD. Just give me a show that grabs my attention, man. I admit, certain times in TWD, I was bloody irritated and wanted to abandon the show for it's sheer stupidity. But I stuck around, because whatever, and it was worth it.

But I stuck around, because whatever, and it was worth it. Please, FTWD, don't make me regret you....... I agree with this, totally. I don't mind that they did the whole pilot episode as exposition and 'character-building', but to make that work, the characters and exposition has to be worth the effort to watch. Sadly, neither quite lived up to the 'hype' of what I personally hoped & expected of it. I wonder how many people tuned in last week, who haven't watched TWD before, but were thinking 'OK, this being a "prequel", it has to be somewhat like its parent show. If I like this, I should really like TWD!'. Hopefully not many, cause if people think that was indicative of TWD, that pilot was a snore-fest.

If someone doesn't believe Nick when he's telling the truth, because "it must be the drugs." If Alicia says something rude. If Travis' son accuses him of replacing him with his "new" kids. If someone says the phrase, "this can't be happening!" Finish your drink... If anyone uses the words "stuff" and "things" in the same sentence. If someone says any variation of "you're not my real father/mother." 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/30977-s01e02-so-close-yet-so-far-pre-air-speculation-and-live-chat/#findComment-1462050

Experience [/w TWD] would suggest that the chances of seeing (at least) 1 walker before the title card are pretty good - either as a current walker(s), a dead person/people that will be a walker(s) shortly, or flashbacks that include walker(s) - but I really have no definitive guess. Could be real soon, could be mid-ep, or could be towards the very end.
