Fear The Walking Dead: Flight 462

[Nashville]

So who gets bit first? Stewella de Ville?

[Maverick]

Smart money is on the wife.

[SimoneS]

I want it to be the annoying stewardess or the interfering air Marshall.

[Nashville]

I'm betting Stewella deVil first, followed immediately by I'm In Charge Here Air Marshall and Shocked Wife; general grazing after that. Praise Jesus Lady for sure; if anycharacter professes and/or demonstrates any degree of religious faith, it's usually a sure sign of a plot setup to show prayers to Him are not answered.

Only ones I'd count on surviving would be Bitchy Asian/Secret Info/Cute, Kinda (BASICK) and What's Happening Uninformed Teen (WHUT).

Oh, and the pilots.

Until BASICK and WHUT are safely on the ground, at least. ;)

[rab01]

So, one of them will survive to join the cast but a bunch could reach the ground still alive. Based on how this show runs, they've been setting it up for WHUT to join the cast (and then, yuck, we can get a teen love triangle). BASICK, who really shouldn't shut other people's window shades but really should be listened to about zombies, would fill up too much of the cold-hearted space that Maddison has cornered so she ain't making it. (Sorry, Nashville and I agree she is kinda cute.)

 

It's hard to see how anyone would be closer than the wife or the stew for first bite so I'm intrigued by the question of who kills the zombie. I think it's boring if it's the air marshal who does it after getting bit (so that's probably what they end up doing, sigh).  Maybe they give a hero's journey to WHUT or BASICK?

All the pre-release info says "One character from Flight 462 will join the cast of Fear the Walking Dead Season 2" - but does that necessarily limit them to only one cast-crossover?

Could be a bit of intentional linguistic misdirection; so long as at least one cast member crosses over, they weren't technically lying.

Kinda like the riddle about two coins adding up to 30 cents, and one of them is not a nickel. ;)

If one of either BASICK or WHUT is going to be offed before the plane touches down, that will be their method of dispatch. The hero/ine snatches the knitting needles from WHUT's seat partner and spears Barfboy Brainmuncher through the eye - getting bit in the process.

So I just marathoned this webseries (literally the world's shortest marathon) and I thought it was pretty good. It looks like I'm in the minority, because I like the Asian girl. She's like this show's Tobias that gets what's going on. Yeah, the window thing was rude, but as far as her asking questions about the guy being "sick," I know that if I was cconfined to a plane and I thought someone might be turning into a walker, I would be rude as fuck asking questions.

I think both she and the teen boy might make it. Unfortunately, he's probably not going to see either of his parents again.

Maybe you just 5K'd the webseries...........

[kj4ever]

I just watched it all and since one of them is supposed to join the show it gives me more hope for season 2. I am more invested in all these characters than I ever was in the people in the regular show, so maybe it'll get better once one of them joins.  I guess it just shows you that quality is way better than quantity.

Stewella DeVil.

Called it.

[bosawks]

Walker in the bathroom is still not anywhere near the worst thing ever found in an airplane toilet.....

[natyxg]

I hope Michelle Ang makes it to FTWD. Her character has potential. She and the kid seem the most likely, but he's boring.

[blackwing]

This latest installment (2/28) added absolutely nothing to the "story".  Not that many of these one-minute episodes do, but this latest one truly added nothing.  Wife crying about her husband.  Flight attendant with the bitten arm sitting.  Kid asking girl how she knew.

 

I agree that the girl has the most potential as a character.  Don't care for the teen boy at all, he always has the same expression on his face.

[Eln5]

"Kid asking girl how she knew."

And girl giving no answer at all, just a blank stare. Yup, the Fear the Walking Dead formula in action.

[Eyes High]

I had to laugh at one character urging the dude "Aim for the head!" after he'd already fired something like six shots and was already out of ammo. Smooth move.

Closer to ten, but - yeah, you're right. :)

Next episode is already available if you have the AMC app (IOS Link).

That Walker better not have disabled the smoke detector, or there's gonna be real trouble.

Flight 462 feels as long as every flight I've ever been on.

Hmm. Both BASICK and WHUT are still unbit - to date - but I knew those knitting needles were bucking for a supporting cast role the moment I saw them.

[Nashville]

Uh-oh.

In last night's episode (Chapter 15) BASICK let slip to WHUT that by taking the last available seat on the flight, she's the reason WHUT's mom got stranded at the terminal in Zombie Chow International Airport.

I sense a penance death coming on....

[rab01]

I saw that as an explanation for why she shut the window shade on him -- acting out due to guilt.

Unfortunately, I still think they are planning to add WHUT to the cast. He is so perfectly dull and unformed that he will fit into FtWD perfectly.

[RustbeltWriter]

I see the sun has now risen because they shut the window shade. How long has this plane been in the air?

Not long enough to run out of fuel.

 

Yet.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

So these folks will be the beach walkers?

Hah! The joke's on me.

I should have realized that Flight 462 would be exactly like FtWD. A few boring scenes followed by a semi-decent build of tension and then not much interesting happens before it ends. For all of us who expected to see a full-on zombie horde inside a plane, we got a couple zombies and then an off-screen landing.  I honestly thought that the only survivors would be a passenger or two hiding in the lavatory and the pilots.  Stupid me.

[Peanut]

Has anyone gone online to see what happens?  I'm so irked at the main show for ending on a cliffhanger, and then they couldn't even wrap up this mess for me?  

 

Meh.

[GreyBunny]

So that's how they end it?  Pathetic.  What a waste of time.  Never should have bothered.  

[Cthulhudrew]

Can you even lock an airplane bathroom from the outside, or is that option available only in zombie passenger seating?

[Spiraling]

Smart money is on the wife.

Hallie Lowenthal! Squee!

The whole FTWD story is pretty great...off-screen.

[Bongo Fury]

Is the whole 462 thing posted anywhere in one clip? No F-ing way am I going to watch it in itty bitty one minute segments.

[piequinn35]

here 14mins:

 

[Bongo Fury]

Thank you.

 

There's no way the oriental gal can be the one joining the cast. She has FAR too much personality to be on this show. And in just a 14 minute video clip she has shown more competence and more spunk that anyone on the show. 

[chlban]

That was actually better than any 14 minutes of this stupid show.

[acee01b]

It was announced that Michelle Ang was nominated for an Emmy for her role in this "short form" series. That's really good for her. I guess everyone could tell she was the breakout character.

Too bad about that transition to the regular series.

Sadly - that is true.  More the pity for the show...
