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

[calliope1975]

They didn't take ANY of the food.

They're going to regret that. I can see Carl now shaking his head.

 

You know that school would have had giant cans of pudding, too.

 

See that, rioters? Whatcha gonna do now?

[sluggish neko]

Damn. Both named black characters bitten. The show runners have to be straight up trolling now.

 

Srsly! As far as Travis & Madison are concerned, only black people become zombies.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Cops know to go for the head.

[raven]

HazMat suits!!  Yup, the Men in Black are in the know.

[Amelie06]

Were they running out of extras when they filmed this scene? This is a sparsely populated riot.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Ruben Blades, is in the building.

[wait.what]

Appears that Artie was bitten.

I'm so confused. Who is Artie?

[raven]

 

See that, rioters? Whatcha gonna do now?

LOL, I was thinking how quickly the hive mind breaks up.

 

Why are the subtitles so teeny???

 

I'm so confused. Who is Artie?

The school principal.

 

What?? Where's Tobias going?  Even Daryl knows you're not better off on you're own :(

Hah! Tobias is all - if I stay with you people, clearly, I will die.

 

I hope Tobias somehow hooks up with the OG Crew. He's be a good addition.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

I'm so confused. Who is Artie?

The Principal.

I would've begged Tobias to come with me.

[SnoGirl]

Seriously. I want Tobias to live and show up on the Waking Dead. He's a teen and he definitely knows what's up.

Him and Carl? Boss together.

Why is the actress playing Madison playing her so enotionaless? I would be messed up taking down my boss.

She's "emotionless" cause she's freaked out she don't know what the he'll happened to her boss

[candall]

For a guidance counselor, she's not much of a nurturer.  That's the second kid she's left behind, alone.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Madison and Artie were friends, that would 've had me a bit in my Damn feelings.

[wait.what]

But, walkers don't JUST bite do they? They eat the whole person. So, unless you are really lucky, you don't get away from a walker with JUST a bite?

So, only people who die from natural causes or an illness or an accident should actually become walkers, right?

[SoSueMe]

"read something" ??? who is writing this?

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Tell them what you've seen Travis.

[minamurray78]

Damn sounds like travis et all are trapped in ground zero.

[Raven1707]

Hey Chris, you're in a barber shop, get a haircut!

[raven]

They're all thinking Travis has gone off the deep end.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Me thinks Madison will get a visit from her neighbors soon.

[SnoGirl]

Still not packing the car. Or changing their clothes. And Madison just calmly watching her Son getting ready to take drugs.

Start packing!

[wait.what]

This is going to be an awkward survival gang. Heroin addict going though withdrawls, crabby teenagers, ex-wife and new girlfriend. Travis may want to re-think this.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Okay, she broke down.

[raven]

Sometimes you just gotta get home to break down.

[calliope1975]

I understand the need for a breakdown, but start filling up some containers with water, lady! Where's Tobias when you need him?

[jay741982]

Alicia and Nick don't know Momma had to "kill" someone

[candall]

I've seen a thousand hours of Intervention, too.  Nick's going to take ALL the oxy now and worry about getting more tomorrow.

[raven]

Artie is most sincerely dead now.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Riots!

[MissL]

Hey Travis and Madison! It is irresponsible not to tell your kids what you've seen! How will they know to be cautious for goodness sake! Ugh this show. Although to be fair The walking dead people often angered me me with their stupidity in the early days.

[CletusMusashi]

Right now, Tobias is in shop class, building a suit of armor out of locker doors.

[SimoneS]

Madison and Travis are not doing their families any favors by not telling them the truth.

[jay741982]

Me thinks Madison will get a visit from her neighbors soon.

I wouldn't be Surprised at all

[raven]

OK, Alicia's reckless but she tries to help.  I like it.

[SnoGirl]

I think that shower curtain is from World Market. Distracting.

Omg, the flashlight is like shining the light in the T-Rex's face.

[minamurray78]

I can get cuting the electricity downtown 'cause of the riots, but isn't it too early for all of the services to be cut out already all over town?

It seems like the whole thing went down way waaay too fast, none of these people had heard anything (other than the flu) until what a day, maybe two days before? wouldn't people have heard a lot more rumours about really weird shit going on? That kid Tobias saw some stuff on the on the internet, was he the only one?

[calliope1975]

Damn! We were so close to a bouncy house zombie. 

 

Please tell your whiny daughter what the hell is going on. Thank you.

[nodorothyparker]

Bouncy house down, dammit.
