(Apparent spoiler) So, anyone still watching Fear the Walking Dead?

frick no. I've given up on that crap.

I haven't watched last week's or last night's yet. But the first two episodes this season have been pretty bad. I watched E2 yesterday, and barely was able to get through it. It's not only so boring, and the characters so unlikable, but it's just weird. E1 had this pretty huge buildup to them being chased/seen on radar by some bad guys who fricked that one boat up, and then E2 picks up and basically never mentions that storyline at all and now they have all kinds of time to dick around at this family's place and even spend the night.

The show is just weird at this point. I will try to keep watching, but it is becoming a chore though.

It's so poorly written. Guy on a speed boat, on the ocean's choppy waters, sniper shots someone between the eyes from 200 yards out.

Another person, just floating in the ocean.....for over 12 hours in an unknown direction....they just happened to bee line right to him.

Pirates on an inflatable raft, just happen to float to exactly who they were targeting for a week? Then have to radio for back-up to show? (were they set afloat close? and if so, did the boat leave them, move hours away, then wait for radio contact?)

I can't fathom how these stories are written by the same type of people, do they not question WTF they are writing?

Yesterday I watched episode 1 of this season in an effort to catch up. After watching it, I deleted the remaining episodes and cancelled the future recordings. The whole let's go for a swim scene was the final straw. Swimming zombies, crackhead not being able to swim around a zombie and instead taking cover in an overturned boat, grabbing the ship's log, meeting a zombie in there who attacks and then stops for no reason at all, etc. Awful awful stuff

Yep. And the season premier everyone was absolutely stupid except for the black guy. Who according to the spanish guy had "other motives". Glad to read they were to find his gay lover. In a situation like that how many motives can you have other than stay alive and find loved ones? But let's be suspicious of him because reasons.

I quit after the first episode of season 2 and haven't looked back.

This week's episode was their best episode so far.

But yeah, if you're a racist homophobe, stick to FOX News.

The premiere this season was a giant turd, but the following three episodes have been good. Last night's was really good.

I kinda feel like it's my fault for expecting too much. I'm usually good at suspending disbelief with movies and tv, but with the latter it's the constant barrage of stupidity that makes it almost unbearable.

I'm not too critical of shows like that. I mean, it's about zombies. But the "constant barrage of stupidity" is too much.

"Long dark hallway in this unbelievably secure prison? Instead of methodically clearing it out, let's rush through it and hope we don't get bit."

ETA: First season of TWD was awesome, though.
