What's Your Story?

Now that is how you reboot a tv-franchise on the verge of self annihilation. Season eight of The Walking Dead was almost like a comedy in how bad it was written. The Fear of The Walking Dead was an alright season up until the the end when it became rather laughable how an 18-year old girl suddenly started running a ranch with hundreds of more experienced people. So this reboot, because that is what it is, was a rather welcome thing. I mean kill off Rick already. And Madison "I've got to protect my children" has been annoying from day one. I'm glad they killed off Travis in last season and I hope Madison is next to go. I thought the new and colorful characters were a welome addition to FTWD as I have never connected much to the Clark family. I hope this will make FTWD what TWD should have become but didn't. For the first time in many years I am excited about a new season. Don't let me down AMC.

From the bossy Mom ( never in doubt but often wrong) ..the Junky son, "warrior dad" too afraid to be tough...FTWD has been a poor substitute for the plot, characters, and general excellence of the parent series. Hope they stick with this, obviously we are now in the same timeline, Please don't let whomever was responsible for the annoying characters & general stupidity back at the helm.

Having the Morgan cross-over, I wasn't expecting too much this season from FTWD. I expected to see something on it's last legs. BUT...how great it is to be wrong (big smiley face)!! The cross-over was superbly done (no spoilers from me) and even though Mr. James will be greatly missed in TWD, I'm already liking Morgan more in Fear. And Maggie Grace was a refreshing surprise, let's hope she lasts for a while. Now the best bit (again, big smiley face). Garret Dillahunt!!!! OMG!! I was so disapointed when he didn't get the Negan role, I'd have loved to have seen him in TWD. This is even better. His acting is brilliant and his character even better. I already know that I'm going to boycott the show if they get rid of him. (Ok, I probably won't but that's the excitement talking). If this first episode is anything to go by, we're in for a great FTWD this season, and hopefully the standard will stay the same throughout. Well done to all involved - just a shame I can't give bigger than the 10 out of 10 as this premier blew me away. (Big smiley face again!!).

Love Morgan's crossing over to Fear and arriving from the jump! Loving the addition of new walking dead characters as well! Most excited to see Maggie Grace cast! S4 is off to a strong start!

Last season of FTWD turned a lot of people off. Let's face it, most people who have skills, health and mindset to survive would not, but NO ONE without them would survive, yet we had a suburban mom, a junkie, etc surviving. We had people living with no fresh water (the primary human need after air), in fact two sets of people without water, simply staying where there was no water. We've had these utterly hamhanded and laughable attempts at metaphors concerning immigration, native rights, guns, and of course, hollywood's most tired trope -- portraying the US military as evil.

Morgan's journey in this episode is a much needed injection of TWD sensibilities into FTWD, a return to roots.
