I Love The Walking Dead [The Walking Dead]

Do you like "Fear the Walking Dead" as much as the original "Walking Dead" - or not as much, or the same? Does anyone else think the "walkers" used to be scarier at first...and not so much now? Have we all just gotten used to them? They move sooooooo slowly! I think: It would be SO easy to get away from them! Unless, of course, the writers WANT you to get bitten!

I like fear the walking dead better than the regular walking dead. I read that the reason that they are moving so slowly now is because all the zombies only have a limited lifespan... or deadspan depending on how you think of it. So I saw a chart showing how the zombies age over time, so they start out fast and stronger but over time as they decay they slow down until basically they can no longer walk. So apparently both shows are using this concept in their shows, which is why i guess that they've had to start using opposing gangs of humans as the main antagonists rather than just zombie hoards.

@SW-User That's a very interesting way to put it. I like both shows. I like the direction Fear The Walking Dead is going with this new season. It's actually very good.

@IWasCallingYaLarry Thanks, and I agree too. I think fear the walking dead has got better with each season. On a side note I also like Z Nation. It has this humorous element that runs all the way through it which I like, yet it's still often serious.

@SW-User I only saw Z Nation once or twice. I thought it was stupid until I got that it is a spoof of The Walking Dead. I only have seen some of it though.

@IWasCallingYaLarry I thought the concept was going to be really dumb, but actually it's really good. It's not really a spoof of the walking dead but it's a show that holds it's own as in, it doesn't try to replicate anything from the walking dead, other than survivors trying to survive the apocolypse.

The actual premise of the show is cool. There is this one guy who was bitten by a zombie and survives as mostly human but it's like he's part zombie inside and can communicate with them telepathically. This can often be funny, but his blood is considered a potential cure or vaccine for the human race. So a group of survivors are asked to try and transport him across the wastelands of the US to the CDC where a group of surviving scientists are locked inside and waiting. The show has got better as it's gone along.

@SW-User I remember my friend at work who used to watch it when it started out saying the main character can control the zombies.

@IWasCallingYaLarry Yeah, it's a combination of serious, funny, sometimes sad and just way out there with many wtf moments haha.
