A new spin off of the WD is set to premier this Summer!

Summary:

What did the world look like as it was transforming into the horrifying apocalypse depicted in The Walking Dead? This summer, AMC will answer that question with Fear The Walking Dead, an all-new original series set in Los Angeles, following new characters as they face the beginning of the end of the world.

Starring Kim Dickens (Gone Girl, Sons of Anarchy), Cliff Curtis (Missing, Gang Related), Frank Dillane (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince) and Alycia Debnam Carey (Into the Storm) and Executive Produced by Dave Erickson (Marco Polo, Sons of Anarchy), Robert Kirkman, Gale Anne Hurd, Greg Nicotero and David Alpert...

Didn't see your thread when I posted in the other one, but glad you posted it, as I think it deserves its own discussion...

Here's what I posted in the other thread about it:

Also, I'm creaming my pants over "Fear the Walking Dead." At the very least, it will give us a TWD holdover until next season... But the promo has me stoked! I really hoped they would eventually address how it all started, and I read that Kirkman himself said that he had an idea of what started it but that he didn't really have the desire to ever reveal it in the comics. So I was surprised that AMC stepped out and decided to do it. But as I said in my previous post, AMC/the TV writers have shown a clear desire to occasionally, and sometimes, drastically, depart from the comics... And I love it.

When one of my friends had initially resisted getting into TWD, he said he wasn't big into the zombie thing like me... I told him, first off, I'm not into the "zombie thing" per se, but more so, the human element of it... I often see parallels between their world and ours, but theirs is obviously much more extreme and dire... I like seeing what people do and the decisions they make, and the consequences that arise from it... And the big question, "if that was you, what would you do?" Would you run? Would you fight? Would you be brave or be a coward? My friend ended up marathon watching the first 4 season like I did, and was fully caught up going into this season, and now has his wife heavy into it too lol.

That human element and the actions/reactions of the characters are what I'm really looking forward to with FTWD. Also, I wonder if it is successful enough, will they eventually bring the characters together, as based on the promo, I'm assuming FTWD is set in L.A.

I've always said if it really happened, the first thing I would do is drive to the coast and get on a boat... Problem is, my wife and kids don't know how to swim, would still need weapons, as there would likely still be a huge problem with other survivors (pirates in that case), and I would quickly have to refresh myself on fishing and eating what you catch, as I haven't really done that whole process, EVER... LOL.

Okay, and with that, I have officially gone too far in "Nerdvana."

But, yeah, Montsta, Alcatraz would be ideal, but I imagine it would bring a lot of other people as well.

I would be heading for the mountains, I figure the terrain would make it tougher on them and while I am not sure that cold would help, I am pretty sure it would not hurt

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      By Icege · Posted

      We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.

      I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
