    Fear The Walking Dead from AMC

    Just a head's up on a new series premiering this summer on AMC: Fear the Walking Dead.

    I don't see it as a Prequel exactly. To have that status it would have to cover the first show's people before the zombie outbreak. I am interested to see how they portray the start of the epidemic.

    Hey you don't watch the show anyway. You have no skin in the game.

    With the fact that it takes place in L.A., I'm curious to see if they will accurately portray how ugly things can get in such a densely-populated area after a disaster. There should be no shortage of action/drama in this one, hopefully.

    I heard about this on the last Talking Dead episode but thought they were talking about more of those webisodes they used to do, not a whole new TV show. Interesting.

    The differencence between L.A. and Georgia will be that in L.A., its not zombies that take over, but rather illegal aliens.

    You do know that the "original" NCIS was itself a spinoff right?

    Seriously, they could simply call it ... The Walking Vatos.

    I'll check it out. But I haven't watched "The Walking Dead" sense Beth was killed off. Something tells me that there are plans to have the LA group start heading East with an eventual meet up - and war - with the other (first) group. I see this happening after a few seasons.

    Then you've missed a lot of entertainment.

    I understand the necessity of plot and character development but felt that last night's premiere dragged on too long with no where near enough action.

    Yeah, the first hour was a throwaway to me. Though it was interesting to see young Voldemort playing a junkie.

    And another tv series;
    "And how we burned in the camps later thinking, what would things have been like, if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain, whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?"
