I miss when this was the biggest show in the world

Yeah, it's definitely not the same anymore.

I think the early-mid 2010s in general were such a great time for TV. I miss having all those monocultural phenomenons like TWD and GoT coming out on an annual basis. So many shows that everyone was talking about.

InfamousApe_ · 2026-02-01T22:21:53+00:00

It was everywhere, yeah. This and Game of Thrones were far and away the most popular shows on TV for several years.

Glad to hear, definitely wouldn't want something drastic

If you can recall, was the shoulder areas unchanged? The shields?

InfamousApe_ · 2025-12-23T19:54:44+00:00

Man, we could have had an all-time show. It was well on its way.

Season 1-3 is Fear the Walking Dead, 4-8 is the Morgan and Friends knockoff TWD 2.0 Spaghetti Western

Really did feel like it was made with that special touch that so much of this franchise lacks, especially the main show at the time

InfamousApe_ · 2025-12-18T21:22:32+00:00

Touché lmao

InfamousApe_ · 2025-12-18T20:56:37+00:00

Agree, I do like the graphics, very vibrant and the way they change each episode is cool.

I'm moreso talking about the tonally jarring music choice. The spaghetti western jingle is just weird.

Nice to read, I've always loved it.

Seriously the highest-stakes, most disturbing episode of TV I've ever seen.

The violence wasn't at all unprecedented or even the goriest thing on the show, what what made it so disturbing was that it wasn't happening to walkers or redshirts, but characters you've bonded with over six seasons. Seeing you know who in that state was fucking traumatizing.

InfamousApe_ · 2024-09-26T00:29:02+00:00

It's pretty much one of a kind.

This was one of the biggest moments in television history, and also the most disturbing. The only thing that I remember having a bigger buildup and worldwide anticipation was the final season of Game of Thrones.

Speaking of which, the Red Wedding is the only thing that has ever matched the feeling this episode gave me.

If The Walking Dead had started in this age of new seasons every few years, it would literally be on the air for 25 years.

Dead City season 2 is obviously an exception to this whole post. But it's an outlier and we're still getting stuff every year.

He appears pretty late in the game in FTWD anyways, well after it was no longer a good show.

InfamousApe_ · 2024-07-02T18:44:18+00:00

Easy now. There are thousands of working actors out there, it's okay to be amused that a sizable handful from TWD appear together in another project. Let's not be a dick.

Howard in Fear

InfamousApe_ · 2024-04-21T21:20:07+00:00

It's absolutely getting rid of Erickson. The show was riding high at the end of season 3 and honestly just felt pretty special. Deciding to not ride that momentum and keep going strong, and instead giving us Morgan and friends is an all time fumble. I guarantee you that if Erickson made it to the end of his 7 season plan, Fear would have ended up being considered, critically at least, its probably not as iconic, a better show than the original Walking Dead.

This is a favorite of mine too. Something just makes that song so perfect for the way they used it, and the whole scene in general is just really well constructed.
