    Glad to see there's still a focus in Mexico and that the group is still split. Hopefully it remains that way for most of the season, because it'd be more interesting that way. Was getting bored of the whole group fighting with each other

    Looks pretty cool.

    Observations

    - Cartels
    - More action
    - More movement
    - Heavy focus on Madison/Strand, Nick and Alicia
    - Travis and Chris seem pretty much away from everybody
    - No signs of Abigail or the sea
    - The group still seems pretty much un-armed minus Travis or Chris with a pistol
    - Definitely feels scattered
    - The shot of Alicia near the elevator shaft reminded me of Beth at the Hospital
    - No signs of Alex
    - No signs of the boat group...thank fuck
    - Madison/Strand trapped somewhere
    - Oh and Nick...he's the main character, just feels that way

    agreed. Liked how flashbacks give some added depth to the characters, but some of Nicks survival choices seriously leave a lot to be desired.

    Like the fourth wall break a minute into the episode?

    Whatever, still better writing and direction then the original series.

    Top 3 episode of the series. That may come down with more views, but I really liked it. Just what you want from a solo dolo in a zombie adventure. Barely surviving, having to go to extremes. That's what the Walking Dead is supposed to be about. Survival.

    Those dogs had no idea what they were getting into. Nick resorting to drinking his own piss and the flashback bits with Gloria were also really well done. I also think it could be possible that Madison lied to Nick about the way her husband died because that would tie into her supposed darker past that has yet to be revealed. I could be wrong though.

    Next week looks to be featuring everybody.

    Slow premiere, but I dug it. I enjoy survival stories, so despite the pacing it remained pretty interesting to me. Couple notes though: Nick should've really tried harder to get his bag (annoying scene) and those Mexican dudes we saw later on sure were dumb as hell :soadeto2:

    Nice solid follow up.

    The Walkers falling off the hotel balcony's to get to Madison/Strand was a great touch. I didn't mind the drunking heart to heart because they are supposed to be people dealing with shit. I can see people not liking that kind of stuff and its understandable considering. One of the main problems with the main show is over time, they just stop feeling like actual people, or they all feel like the same person, with some exceptions. At least so far here, they make mistakes, they act like humans, etc. We didn't learn much new about Strand, other being depressed. Madison seems to be hiding shit and im not quite sure when the writers are going to spill the beans, but hopefully sooner rather than later.

    The idea of a walker wall to protect your base is pretty cool. I don't believe for a second that the pharmacist was bitten and then healed. Maybe bitten by an animal or something. It would be a neat goal though. The main show can be about the comics, the drama, the wars, etc. Having this show work more on the lore, perhaps look for a legitimate cure is nothing original, but it would keep it different from the main show. Of course, having a cure defeats the purpose of the show. I'm not saying you have the cure, im saying you have the survivors have that goal in mind.

    The stuff with the two girls was eh. Unless Ofeila jumped off the balcony herself. Why leave? Also taking a shower in a hotel that's not proven to be cleared seems a bit risky. Even more so when they were both going to take one. I'd say neither take the risk or take the shower together to save time. Ofeila is clearly depressed/taken a Daniel approach to things yet Alicia is less whiny but takes just as many chances. We'll see where it goes.

    Yah i liked it.
    Spoiler...
    The only part i didnt like was how the kid didnt get his hand cut off.... lets be honest here, after coming to the cartel with his bullshit, they would have decapitated him, raped the woman and then forced her to get them all the pills.

    You know what? We've seen what happens when someone is bit in the arm, leg, whatever, and they shop the article off asap. They survive.... well what about fire, weve never seen what happens when someone is bit and then a red hot poker is shoved in the wound?
    Because that looked like a burn.

    The stuff with the two girls was eh. Unless Ofeila jumped off the balcony herself. Why leave?
    Walked onto the balcony, heard the piano, knew it was a bad idea and took off to help them. Guarantee thats how they get out of the situation.

    I didn't mind the scene. Losing limbs has already been done quite a bit on the main show. It seems like the group Luciana is with already knows about this Cartel group. So they don't have much leverage if they just go killing people over a bag of cupcakes. Relations will blow up.

    2B is really good thus far.

    This episode opens up many cans of worms in the moral dilemma department. Between the hotel manager locking everything up inside the wedding room and Travis/Chris/Spring Break Kids/the farmer. That's the kind of stuff this show needs, along with the other show.

    I wasn't bothered by the new groups either. Which I was worried would end up happening. Thus far, in the shows run. The only real weak group has been the boat group and that feels like ancient history. Perhaps it helps that they wrote the Hotel group like real people and the Spring Break kids like actual kids instead of super villain wannabes, which feels like what ended up happening with the boat group. Even the group Nick is with feels legit for the most part. We'll see more.

    Alicia had about 2 kills in this episode. Its not like she went Terminator on the hotel guests. We all have to remember this isn't the first time they've killed biters before or dealt with the guts routine. I'm satisfied with her growth rate, improvising, using the elevator to stay alive and stay away from the 'wasted'. The hotel manager seems like someone who you would want on your side as long as she has someone she knows along with her. The minute her nephew dies, im not sure how long she'd go.

    Travis/Chris was like a mini movie in itself. The isolation, the atmosphere. The bonding over the car 'lession', acting like real people, father and son. Then when Chris stumbles onto the guys, the work Travis thought he was putting slowly starts to fade and it culminates with the barn confrontation. I thought all of their scenes were exactly what the doctor ordered in their story. I also loved the dead air on the radio. Really good touch.

    I don't see these groups coming back together just yet, and given how each individual group storyline has been pretty good thus far and more compelling than group separations on the main show (yes I think its close). I say its something you can continue to roll with. I won't be disappointed if some of them reunite, but I would more in favor of them moving along the way it is now.
