How long does it take to walk from Virginia to the Texas border by Mexico?

Google Maps says 575 hours.  That doesn't count sleeping or anything else and I'm sure you need to add on a significant amount of detour time for apocalypse related shenanigans.  If you triple the amount of time it takes you to actually walk to account for those factors, walking 8 hours a day it will take you a little over 215 days.

What's the estimated pace, how many miles a day?

 

It takes a lot of calories to maintain a good pace.

I stopped watching after season 2... too much TV to watch so it dropped off of my priorities.

 

Is it worth getting back into?

 

I thought last season moved along better.

I'm the exact opposite on this one.  The most recent season was garbage.  They had done a nice job in the prior season or two building up certain people and then they completely threw everything out the window and rebooted the show.  Sure, some of the newbies are good characters, but not enough of them.  I'm also not all that crazy about this current incarnation of Morgan.  But hey, at least I can count on him revealing his 85th alternate personality soon enough.

All the dead aren't... Dead yet?

This actually. We've seen that the dead still do decompose. After the initial crush of millions of dead I wouldn't think that there would be enough living to support a continual flow of new dead to make things like massive hordes. Winter dead freeze, desert dead would almost certainly be desiccated quickly, swampy dead grow things and fall apart. Things like floods, tornados, wildfires, and hurricanes are still happening and with no ability or instinct to seek shelter you lose plenty there. You'd see predation from things like mountain lions, bears, and alligators. We are multiple years into this process at this point. There shouldn't be many dead left at all and yet.

This would apply to the 6 year time jump on The Walking Dead.

 

Its  Fiction and grosser is better

I will say I've been entertained.  I've watched each episode so far this season.  

 

That being said, wow, it's a lot of hot garbage from a story point of view.  Journalists can fly planes now, even more dumbass kids being weird, random Matt Frewer, Reuben Blades miraculously survived Season 3 to end up in Texas....somehow with a warehouse of vehicles and weapons.  

 

Good set pieces though, especially the Wild West one.  Garrett Dillahunt and Jenna Elfman are carrying the season.

So much of it is mind-numbingly stupid.  The split bullet thing this week?  And why is it that they needed the plane (and the next plane) so badly to get over there, yet Dwight got there all on his own?

they were conned into a rescue (that wasn't) and flew a plane because of "the distance)  and they figure "the fastest way back" is to get another plane (to crash)

I thought the premise of Fear the Walking Dead was really neat. A before the apocalypse of The Walking Dead happened. I assumed it would cover what happened and the gradual transformation. Instead, by the second episode we had zombie apocalypse. I stopped watching after season one. Seeing this, it seems it is basically The Walking Dead? AMC now has Fear the Walking Dead and The Walking Dead, both of which are based in a post-apocalyptic zombie world?

Also all over the documents Althea found on the dead uniform guy.

 

What's interesting is the Bell 206L3 is not a military helicopter.  It's a police helicopter and air ambulance.

 

My theory is that the three rings stand for liberty, order and justice.

Is the show about to lose 1 or 2 cast members?

 

Is Fear the Walking Dead about to say goodbye to yet another original character? Viewers were delivered a shock on Sunday’s “Still Standing” episode of Fear when Alicia — while taking on a sizable group of zombies — got sprayed all over the face with the blood of one of the radiation walkers infected by the nuclear plant meltdown.

 

Will Dwight make a fast exit and continue looking for his wife?

It's crazy how little direction this show has at this point.  It died with Madison.

that is a possibility.

 

 

every time a character said something 
bright" about their future I kept waiting for a shoe to fall.  (surprising death)

I watch it but I agree it's a terrible mess.

 

Strand is a hilarious character.  This dude has a yacht.  He flies planes.  He drives tractor trailers.  He knows how to set up and pilot a hot air balloon.

 

Can't wait for the submarine!

It's a shame he didn't get there earlier.  The reactor would be all taken care of.

Mid Season Finale.  Seems that all make it "safely" to the denim factory ....   

 

How badly was Alicia infected? 

 

What is Max Headroom looking for and should he be trusted?

 

Kind of nice to see Dwight sticking with the show.    

 

Daniel-  You look like you need a haircut

Safely is an interesting choice of words to describe this half season.  Am I missing some details or did they not kill a single living person in this entire run of episodes?  I can't think of a single character, not even a random in the background who was killed either by human, walker, or nuke.  Even the freshly dead were killed before we first encountered them.

 

How is that even possible on these shows?

They made it alive, relatively intact   so yes "Safely" is a safe descriptor.

 

yeah, it does look as if they didn't kill off any characters, long term or shore term. 

 

We kept waiting for the axe to fall. 

 

 

AND it is only mid season   (3 weeks off) 

 

 

It's not just the main cast.  I'm pretty sure not a single person died at any point, not live anyway.  The few deaths even referenced (helicopter pilot, kids' parents, the guy Sherry killed) all happened in the past.

I'd have to think that was homage to Sam Raimi, especially the way it was shot.

The split bullet thing this week?

 

its kind of funny.  (to me at least)

 

In the last month on Forged In Fire they actually had two different shows where they "split the bullet" when testing the strength of the weapons.  

 

I thought it was all BS until I saw it happen
