    So 7/10

    Positives

    - The opening sequence/burning of LA, thought that was a great opening
    - The cinematography I thought was great, better than the main show lately
    - The seeds of discontent amongst the group, Maddie/Daniel weary of Strand, Travis siding with Strand, Chris bonding with Daniel over Travis
    - Nick just sort of IDGAF mode, which is so refreshing..he sort of reminds me of a hybrid Daryl/Glenn...only less badass, but also willing to take chances like jumping in after Chris
    - Just more realism, not every character is badass, there are whiny, childish types just like real life, a wide variety to choose from depending on your preference, I would be bored if they were all the same
    - Chris was definitely trying to suicide, then covered his ass by saying he was going for a swim
    - Alicia trying to cling onto the old world, no text/phones anymore, so its radio time

    Negatives

    - Too many cuts in the Travis/Chris fight
    - If Strand is so concerned with Alicia using the radio, why not take it? Or did he feel like he would be overruled or the damage had been done? Kinda silly considering none of them probably know how to use that boat, so the idea that they would kill him shouldn't cross his mind
    - Kim Dickens looks like a normal human being, with facial expressions and all. Madison looks like a robot. My only explanation is its the character's numb from a past that really hasn't been explored yet, which led her to look that way before the apocalypse and in the present...point being...she's very Michonne Season 3 right now, kinda takes me out of it at times...Michonne eventually snapped out of it, maybe Maddie will do the same

    They are calmly organizing their supplies and spot walkers coming out of the house up on the cliff. They continue to move about as if nothing is happening then bam, Travis gets attacked and they are surrounded by zeds on the beach

    Sweet ripping a zombies face off with a boat propeller scene though!

    Agreed, cool scene. Like I said, it started off pretty solid

    Agreed... as well as an overabundance of two dimensional thinking.

    I watched this a second time before I deleted it from my DVR and enjoyed it even more.

    I too am on the side of the characters being a bit annoying but for myself I think I know why.
    These characters are behaving as any of us would, normal...every day people who are scared shitless.
    Safe to say we would be some annoying mofo's if we were thrown into this situation. These characters aren't the typical Hollywood variety usually in these films/shows.

    Let's not forget that in this world zombies don't exist and there is no knowledge or "folklore" of them so truly nobody knows what is going on.

    Right now for me the biggest sub-plot is Strand. Who is he? Why was he prepared for this?
    Daniel is right to not trust him. If he was prepared for this why would he take a chance and have all of them tag along? Why such a strong bond with a druggie kid?
    He is obviously a very wealthy man. Could he have something to do with the "virus" causing this? Perhaps if he is he knows it may have started through drug use (as hinted at), thus the connection to Nick?
    He has to have some motives here.

    Wasn't really into the first episode. Cool ass scene with boat propeller but most of the characters still piss me off since this is only the beginning so they need to do this whole naive thing.

    I'm quite surprised to be honest.

    Yeah its second to TWD in ratings, but im still surprised.

    With them still filming Season 2. This probably changes the entire structure. I fully expect Travis to see Season 3. I thought for sure if this show only went 2 and out, that Travis was an easy out.

    Whats surprising about it?
    You could slap TWD logo on a dogs pooper scooper right now and it would be a best seller with places ordering more.

    7/10

    About on par with last weeks episode. Maybe a bit better.

    Positives

    - Good pace, I like the idea of island hopping
    - More internal conflict, conflict in general
    - More information on the outbreak in the country
    - I have no problem with the teenagers doing what they want, they aren't 10 years old like Carl...if Chris wants to learn how to kill infected...let him...if Nick wants to chill with kids in a non pedo way or look for a score, let him...if Alicia wants to drink her sorrows away and listen to music with no fucks given which could kill her...let her...its their choices
    - Daniel and Strand conflict...both guys feeling the other out
    - I thought George and Seth were pretty far ahead of the curb, minus the whole power pill ideallogy
    - Some insight into Ofeila's mindset
    - We actually saw some different facial expressions from Madison in this episode...holy shit?
    - Line of the night when Madison brings Harry aboard the boat goes to Strand...I fucking laughed

    "Put it back where you found it"

    Negatives

    - The kids apparently know about the power pills and probably that they will all 'take them together' if the time came....so why did Willa take the pill? Also given Harry knows about sick people needing the red dots...
    - Felt like they rushed the ending
    - Strand actually left his boat to chill on land for a half second?...small plot device nitpick, but a nitpick nonetheless

    I really liked this episode. Travis finally seems to be coming out of his daze. Daniel has proven once again that he is the badass of this show. The scene between he and Strand was tense and extremely well done.
    Only thing that I don't get is the boat following them gave up so quickly and couldn't find them? Whoever they were had a boat with a fucking mounted gattling gun that could take down boats and was faster than the Abigail. They didn't exactly go far to hide in that cove...so how did they lose them?

    Also the mother was another teleporting zombie. Bitch got to the end of that dock damn quick!

    8/10

    Action Packed, Tension Filled episode...

    Positives

    - Underwater sequences looked great, really helps differentiate it from the main show, the water settings in general
    - Travis isn't useless, he's a repairmen, people forget that or don't care because he isn't murdering 200 people I guess
    - The big battle on the beach, everybody contributing
    - That walker with the crabs...fuck...the crabs were eating him and he was eating the crabs...circle of life
    - Nick is just having fun with the apocalypse...and I fucking love it...staring down the walker and taunting it...sorry...I don't care how retarded or misguided that looks to some...I love it...reckless abandonment...also props for using the guts routine, whether he discovered or not, who cares...he used it to his advantage to help the group
    - The opening scenes of the plane wreckage
    - Strand explaining a bit more of his motives
    - Strand realizes he's probably losing control of his boat...so he ditches the crash survivors...little does he realize that's only going to create more internal issues
    - Chris realizing what its like to take a human life
    - Character balance...sorry this show just does it so much better than the main one as of now

    Negatives

    - How is Jake still alive?

    Sort of on the fence

    - While Strand ditching the plane survivors make sense for his character and the story...its a just a question of why bother when we know they'll be back? I guess? Unless they just keep them out of the story unlike TWD with Morgan? We never know what happens? That sort of thing.

    Then again...you know that's why I say im on the fence about it. I reallllllllly really really really don't want this show to have 20 characters floating around the water...so if they keep it to a core of 7-10...I'll be happy and I don't care if they aren't all evil/grey badasses all the time. I'd take 7-10 characters of a mix than 20 characters with 2-3 that get constant focus because they are over the top or complex because grey...

    Keep it simple...keep 7-10 characters...don't over do it.

    Good episode.

    Agreed on everything.

    Only thing that left me scratching my head were some of the edits. The first one when Travis was under the boat and the walker had his arm stuck. When Travis approached it...it reacted then quickly cut to commercial. We get back from commercial and Travis is already out of the water with his scuba gear off. WTF is that?

    Then when Nick falls down to the crab zombie and one falls from the ledge above he yells OH SHIT, cut to commercial. Next time we see Nick he is covered in the walker blood and guts rescuing the group. WTF is that?

    Those quick edits just seemed to exist to keep the viewer glued to the screen and wondering what happens next until the commercial is over, which is pretty cheap considering they only showed the aftermath, but whatever.

    Either way, it was a pretty good ep. The show seems to be slowly getting better with each episode. Interesting to see the Asian chick and that one kid still alive. Not sure how long that kid is gonna last though. I honestly didn't really care much that Strand did what he did though I'm sure they'll be back soon enough.

    Which is my issue. Cliffhanger cuts have been in TV shows since the caveman era. But to have Travis getting "attacked" by a zombie under water, cut away...then come back from commercial and he is back on the boat out of his scuba gear and as dry as a silica pack in the desert is ridiculous. Same with the Nick cut away. A walker basically falls on him, cut away then 5 minutes later he rescues the group by showing up all bloodied. WTF happened??

    The cliffhanger cuts are a big reason I tend to stream anything worth watching these days.
