iRarelyWatchTV36 September 17, 2015 Share September 17, 2015 Not Fade Away. Man, talk about a generic 'wth?' ep title. First wild guess is Madison shows something resembling an emotion on her face, and Travis begs to her to Not let it Fade Away (too quickly). Needs to be reminded that the woman he's dating isn't just a homosapien looking robot. 2 Link to comment
maystone September 18, 2015 Share September 18, 2015 AMC has posted a sneak peek for Not Fade Away. Man, that all went to hell in a hurry! At least I'm assuming it happened quickly. I really want to see what led up to that scene. 2 Link to comment
Yolapukka September 18, 2015 Share September 18, 2015 Man, that all went to hell in a hurry! At least I'm assuming it happened quickly. I really want to see what led up to that scene. Total curfew with orders to shoot on sight perhaps? 1 Link to comment
editorgrrl September 18, 2015 Share September 18, 2015 AMC has posted a sneak peek for Not Fade Away. Man, that all went to hell in a hurry! At least I'm assuming it happened quickly. I really want to see what led up to that scene. The episode description says "Madison and Travis see different sides of the National Guard's occupation in their neighborhood." If Madison sees the ugly truth, does that mean Travis thinks everything's fine now that the cavalry's arrived? (Maybe that garbage gets picked up?) 4 Link to comment
maystone September 18, 2015 Share September 18, 2015 Total curfew with orders to shoot on sight perhaps? I took another look, and I think that part of it at least was about people resisting being evacuated. There was NO EVAC sprayed in yellow paint behind the body of the guy on the sidewalk, and the bloated body in the street (nice effect!) had a handgun next to him. I'd guess that there were a number of things going on, and one of them might have been a curfew, too. 1 Link to comment
peach September 19, 2015 Share September 19, 2015 (edited) In hurricane situations, the government doesn't force evacuations. A "mandatory evacuation" order basically means you've been warned to get out, and the authorities are leaving. If you don't leave, there won't be any help coming your way. So even though it's "mandatory" they can't/won't make you leave. What the govt wants to do in a biological disaster, who knows?So, I wonder if instead of resisting evacuation, they found out they will NOT be evacuated, or allowed to evacuate. IOW, they're being left for dead. Edited September 19, 2015 by peach 2 Link to comment
Bongo Fury September 19, 2015 Share September 19, 2015 So do you think the'll use the Buddy Holly original version of the song for a soundtrack for the episode? Or maybe go with the more familiar Rolling Stones version? My guess is that since the show is set in California they'll use the Grateful Dead version. And the song could foretell a sappy turn for the show given they lyrics: 'Love is real and not fade away' Is this going to be some poorly written drama of Maddie and Travis's love tested but enduring the ZA? God I hope not, because that is far outside the abilities of this writing team to do well. 3 Link to comment

The realization that civilization is fastly fading. Link to comment
oakville September 20, 2015 Share September 20, 2015 This should be a good episode. Does the Army have a logical plan to take back LA or is it a rogue unit that kills civilians for no reason & is lead by a megalomaniac? . I hope its the former. 2 Link to comment

raven September 20, 2015 Share September 20, 2015 I kinda want to slay the dragon. - Angel. Not Fade Away That's where my brain went anyway. I hope its the former. Me too. Megalomaniacs can stay on TWD; borrrrinngg because you know they will do anything. I want to see the authorites lose control, dammit, and what people do when they realize that they have to help themselves. 5 Link to comment

You've instantly become my favorite poster, I've always loved a twirler. Ah, the times, ah, the memories. I remember my last show in a downpour, they opened with Rain and Box of Rain. Jerry died a couple weeks later. The end of an era ... 1 Link to comment
iRarelyWatchTV36 September 20, 2015 Share September 20, 2015 (edited) I don't know what this says about me personally, but I only want to find out one thing going in to tonight's show; I just freaking want to know if this is the episode where Nick finally gets the facial from that rifle butt! We've only been seeing that clip in the previews for like the last month now, I'm growing tired of waiting........ Edited September 20, 2015 by iRarelyWatchTV36 1 Link to comment
MrsRafaelBarba September 20, 2015 Share September 20, 2015 On occasion, the military has been revealed to be evil in this subgenre. Me thinks this will be the case tonight. 2 Link to comment
MrsRafaelBarba September 20, 2015 Share September 20, 2015 Wasn't the same title used for the series finale of Angel? Link to comment
HighMaintenance September 21, 2015 Share September 21, 2015 From the previews, it's gonna be a case of the military having free reign to rape, pillage and plunder the civilians because... that's what men without supervision do. Madison will see that the powers that be are NOT there for them, knew about the ZA for quite awhile and her botox world will be rocked. The military will beat up someone in the family to prove a point - I'm hoping it's junkie boy. There will be many commercials for automobiles and fast food... and the episode will end on a shot of an LA sunset over the smoldering downtown buildings with requisite palm trees in the foreground while "To Live And Die In L.A." by Wang Chung plays us out of the episode. 2 Link to comment
mightysparrow September 21, 2015 Share September 21, 2015 I just don't understand. Kim Dickens was fantastic in Deadwood. Maybe it's because she can't say 'cunt' on AMC. 2 Link to comment

I thought it was just pretty much just the F word that was completely 'out of bounds', or at least not used except in very rare cases & instances.

'cunt' is waaaaaaay off the menu. I could be wrong. 2 Link to comment

raven September 21, 2015 Share September 21, 2015 (edited) Oh Travis. I know you're feeling the run endorphins and all, but a bit too much Mr. Positive. I'm with Alicia, stop bickering. Travis why don't YOU help Madison?? Speeches were only a big plot point on Falling Skies. OK, Nick is enjoying the apocalypse a bit too much. Edited September 21, 2015 by raven Link to comment
Amelie06 September 21, 2015 Share September 21, 2015 Travis is a very concrete thinker. Unless one of the zombie's tell him "I am going to eat you", I don't think he is going to believe that shit has gotten REAL. Link to comment
