Interesting idea about where Fear the Walking Dead is going to go (spoilers)

quote:

Unlike The Walking Dead, which tells the story of one of the few good groups of people, Fear the Walking Dead will show the rise of a Woodbury/Terminus type of society.

The main characters have already, 9 days into the apocalypse, shown disturbing resolve to kill others in order to protect their own. Salazar tortured an innocent soldier and brought down an entire military base to save his wife, and Maddie was on board the whole time.

More than that, they've shown outright disregard for other human life simply for being useless or not actively helping them. They left the gate at the community open after they left and never warned anyone, and Maddie justified this by saying that nobody came to their aid during the military's raid on her house. In addition, Strand is an outright sociopath and explicitly stated that they weren't going to let anyone else out of the cages because helping them could hurt him and Nick, and there was no value added.

Even Travis, the moral compass, seems to be rapidly coming around to the others' way of thinking.

All of these actions would make sense for a season 6 Rick, but not for season 1. It's like a community of Shanes. This, then, could be a perfect set-up to a "bad" community.

This makes sense on another level too. Now that society has fallen almost entirely offscreen, how is this show different from TWD? This could be that difference. It also fits with the name. "Fear the Walking Dead." Fear the main characters of this series, because they will be ruthless.
