S01.E02: So Close, Yet So Far - Pre-Air Speculation and Live Chat

[raven]

Now if this were original recipe WD, Travis would knife Matt right through the head.

[calliope1975]

I kinda hope Travis' other kid bites it because I am old and over petulant teens. 

[candall]

Yeah, "Walking Dead" commercials are not making this show look more exciting.

"RICK! Is dangerous!" BANG! BANG! BANG!

versus

"Hello? Are there any other actors in this scene?"

True.  I said:  "Oh look, the REAL show."

[raven]

Aw Matt got a good death :(

[Lillith]

That thing is still on her arm?  Did she not shower this morning? 

[Amelie06]

 

Matt too? All the black folk? Really, show?

I just can't. They have really leaned in on this! WTF. That's great. Matt will die alone and eat his parents, if they ever even make it back. My ability to appreciate this show has been damaged. I'm sure that actor was grateful for the one week of work, but why couldn't they just let him live?

[raven]

LOL everyone runs off the bus to see the shooting.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Well Damn, they just left him.

Oh shit, boy call Travis.

Mofos having cookout and shit?

Oh, a nine-year-old named Gladys.

[Mya Stone]

I actually appreciate being shown the little moments of life those in the dark are having compared to the complete panic those "in the know" feel.

[wait.what]

How long does it take to get off the heroin? I should know by all of the Intervention that I watch.

[MissL]

They just left him? WE may know exactly what is going to happen but they don't! They just left a sick teenager? They're teachers!

[candall]

I can't remember cute young guy on the bus, except I seem to like him.

 

Fourteen minutes of dull, so far.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Go get your child Travis!

[truelovekiss]

I kinda hope Travis' other kid bites it because I am old and over petulant teens.

I think out of all the angsty teens in this blended family, he's the most likely to bite the dust by the end.

[mustbekarma]

Getting out of the city is a good idea, but I certainly wouldn't have headed towards the desert. Travis also said to leave without him if he's late. He's showing some common sense.

 

Poor Matt. I think he knew he wasn't going to make it.

[SnoGirl]

My friend just had a baby and named her Gladys, it's making a comeback.

I can't believe they just left Matt.

I love the difference between those in the know and those who aren't. I can totally see that happening. I wonder if we're going to see a Walker in the Bouncy Castle.

What? A girl can dream right?

[raven]

 

I actually appreciate being shown the little moments of life those in the dark are having compared to the complete panic those "in the know" feel.

Ditto.  Until you see it, you're not going to believe it.  A lot of people will try to keep to their regular schedule, thinking it's just a bad flu or something going around.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Y'all see Nick looking for drugs in Matt's bathroom?

SMDH...

[Macbeth]

Is it me or do the Clark's have a much nicer house now that the show has moved to Vancouver??

[Amelie06]

I find the real Johnny Depp in that Whitey Bulger make-up to be more terrifying than any zombie that has appeared on this show.

[raven]

I'm not surprised they left Matt, who didn't look like he could walk and seemed pretty resigned.  They did just see a dead guy get up a few times to come after them.

 

I'm curious as to how they made the jump so quickly about being bitten, rather than a catchable flu.  Maybe I missed something I'll catch on rewatch.

[bunnyblue]

I liked the fakeout with the radio broadcast making it seem like they were talking about the ZA and it was just a radio jockey being melodramatic about sports.

 

And Chris is already beyond annoying; not wanting to talk to his dad for 2 days. Ugh, teenagers!!!

[truelovekiss]

Oh, a nine-year-old named Gladys.

She can make friends with 15 year old Enid and Carl and infant Judith.

I swear, the only kids that survive the zombie apocalypse sound like they could be in a nursing home.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Travis tell her what you saw!

Withdrawals!

[wait.what]

Don't bother to pack your charger.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

It's will be dark soon, things are getting worse.

[Amelie06]

Why are parents fighting over weekends with their teenage son? He doesn't even seem that young, like 14. What was the mom planning to do with the kid on "her weekend"? Ugh. Divorce/custody issues are the worst!

[calliope1975]

Principal Zombie here we come! 

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Oh no, the school.

[wait.what]

Lucky #13. Think we will see that car again? with a zombie driving it?

[Mya Stone]

Empty schools scare me enough without it being the damn zombie apocolypse.

[raven]

Maybe Tobias is there.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Potus's big bro is about to debut as a Walker.

[raven]

Yup in the apocalypse you do what you gotta do.  Why didn't she just crobar it all the way open?

 

Yay Tobias! 

Edited August 31, 2015 by raven

[calliope1975]

Why'd she stop crowbarring? Crowbar that shit all the way open! 

 

Tobias!!

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Tobias!

[CletusMusashi]

Making a dangerous run in order to shut up an addict... didn't "The Strain" do this last seas-

Holy shit! It's Tobias!

[SnoGirl]

Tobias! Creeping like a Walker. That would not be Carol approved.

If we don't see all these normals (the cop, the lady bitching at him, Gladys) as Walkers, I'm going to be disappointed.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Why'd she stop crowbarring? Crowbar that shit all the way open! 

 

Tobias!!

And keep it as a battle weapon.

[raven]

LOL @ us cheering on Tobias.  He will be the big emotional death I'm sure :(((

[candall]

"Sorry, Tobias.  I already added your knife to my stockpile of weapons."

[Mya Stone]

For a second I didn't remember that the kid was named Tobias, and all I could picture was Tobias Funke, analrapist.

[wait.what]

When/How will they learn that only a headshot will stop a walker? Trial and error?

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Tobias! Creeping like a Walker. That would not be Carol approved.

If we don't see all these normals (the cop, the lady bitching at him, Gladys) as Walkers, I'm going to be disappointed.

Think that's the cop shown biting someone in the trailer.

[Straycat80]

Why didn't they ask Matt where and how he got that huge bite?

[bunnyblue]

Heh, I see others were wondering why the hell didn't Madison continue crowbaring open the locker. Bugged me the entire time.

[candall]

I always think that big frosty glass of beer with an orange slice looks good.

 

And I don't even like beer.

[nodorothyparker]

I'm going to need to see some zombies in the bouncy house across the street before the hour is up. I have to.

We're here yelling at Nick to get his shit together quickly so he can take a shower and get into some non old man clothes. Months from now you'll be glad you did.

[Mya Stone]

Oh, man....
