Great observation @juliansteed

Refresh my memory. Did we see that point of view vantage point 4 times during the episode? If thats a yes, maybe each time shown was what each one of the captured 4 saw

I don't remember exactly either but I don't think it was quite 4 times. I know for sure we saw it at the beginning of the episode and then only 1 other time from van.

I am excited, but I have higher expectations for S2 than I had for S1. S1 was just a prequel to S2. If it does not deliver on its own this year, the show will be a failure, IMHO.

Well put. Plus for me the only interesting character (aside from a couple that are only interesting for their looks), Strand, arrived late in the season. He should be a full time cast member this season.

It seems like it's hard enough coming up with original storylines for the original even with the source material, so I'll be interested to see where this one goes.

I checked and it was indeed 4 times ... Opening scene, about 28 minutes in coming out of commercial, again at 52 minutes in coming out of commercial, and with 12 minutes left coming out of commercial before they were let out of the van

The last "point of view" scene is when the blood spills

Interesting. I just re-read my previous reply and it was worded poorly. I meant to say that I only knew for sure about the one time at the beginning and I thought only one other time but apparently it was 3 more times.

I've watched both episodes this season. Both were decent but not spectacular. The characters really aren't very interesting except for maybe a couple but I'm curious to see where they are going with this. With Game of Thrones starting next week that will be given priority but I'll likely still watch Fear episodes eventually.

Ratings next week will plummet. Good thing they got their extension before the ratings hit comes next week.

I'm watching it. Its OK, nothing special. I don't think its any worse than TWD and since I have no solid idea where this is going I have watched so far.

I mean for a year or so in TWD we knew Negan was coming, then over 6 months ago it was known Negan was only going to be in the last episode of the season. So pretty much for a year we knew, or had a good idea, what was going to happen in the finale - so the whole season was just getting to that point. That in addition to the poor pacing, fake character deaths, poor character decisions have made me feel TWD is pretty bad now.Plus that ending was just insulting.

So the fact I have no real idea besides guesses where FTWD is going, and the characters are not quite as stupid and no where near as horrible of people as the ones on TWD - keep me watching for now.

I know I complain about it so much the obvious question is why I still watch, its a fair question. Its slipped from being good, to being a guilty pleasure, to being a chore so I probably should stop. I still think its a good setting and set up and I still think it should/could be done well so I havent given up yet.

I did finally finish the last two episodes of TWD. The good - Jeffery Dean Morgan was fun to watch. As for the rest I saw this description of the episode somewhere else: "it was like a loony tunes episode with Daffy trying to escape and every door he opens has Bugs in it".

enjoying it as well ... I was hoping Travis and Madison would get bit at the end of last episode tho ... not a big fan of either character ... but I like every other character though :noidea:

initially, i think i kinda hated the Johnny Depp wannabe Nick but now Im on board ... I think his character should be more drug affected though ... he survives not because he wants to live in this zombie world ... i think they should play it up more that he is surviving for the drugs

I really enjoyed the last few episodes, as silly as that hostage exchange was.
