This past Sunday, AMC graced us with the premier of Fear the Walking Dead, a spin-off of the amazing, The Walking Dead TV series. While I am not a huge fan of spin-offs in general, I must say that I was impressed.
The following may contain spoilers, so if you haven't had the chance to see the premier, I would highly recommend doing so before reading further.
So why should you watch Fear the Walking Dead? Because I said you should! And the fact that the first episode will have you hooked, well, if you are a Walking Dead fan that is.
So where does Fear the Walking Dead fit into The Walking Dead universe? Well that's easy, it takes place prior to the events of The Walking Dead, and on the west coast. More or less the beginning of zombie infection.
In TWD, Rick wakes from a coma, to an unrecognizable world. Essentially a zombie apocalypse where food and supplies are hard to come by.

Instead of the completely depressing feel of TWD world, we are given a much more active, slightly less depressing feel in FTWD. Why do I say slightly less depressing? Well the fact that the first episode opens in an abandoned and run down church which is a haven for drug users, might be a good reason. Or, the fact that our opening character, Nick, a junkie, witnesses the girl he was with, eating someones face off. I could be wrong. Throughout the episode, we get to learn about Nick's somewhat dysfunctional family and hints of the zombie apocalypse starting to unfold. There are also hints that the drug that Nick has been using, is causing people to become zombies. Of course, nobody understands what is going on yet, not even Nick. Everything starts to be put in perspective when Nick's drug dealer, Calvin, attempts to kill him, only to get killed himself. After fleeing the location and then returning with his mother, Madison, and step father, Travis, Nick finds that Calvins body is missing, at least until they try to
In the event of a zombie apocalypse everything in this world would change. Society will not be the same, the norms society once had will be different. Governments would like to establish social control but the environment would be too chaotic to control. A survival mode would be establish by everybody, everybody would be by themselves, and only protect their own. Resources would be the new currency, because paper money would no longer have value, but a resources will.

Zombies, as we know them today, have mortified movie viewers for the last forty six years. Modern zombies first appeared in George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead in 1968. These zombies were the slow moving, staggering ghouls that one has seen in countless films, but in 1985, Return of the Living Dead featured a new kind of zombie, the first fast moving and talking ghoul. Both Night of the Living dead 1968 and Return of the Living Dead 1985 feature the zombie as its villain, but Return of the living dead’s fast moving, talking zombies are a more modern take on the movie monster.
The Walking Dead is an American horror drama television series, which is based on the comic book series of the same name. It tells the story of a small group of survivors living in the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse. The plot focuses on the dilemmas the group faces as they struggle to maintain their humanity during the daily challenges of surviving in a hostile world. Which includes battling
A valuable lesson you hope to pass on to the next late night pedestrian you and your new friends come across; Underestimating the potential for a zombie outbreak is a highly dangerous (and foolish) activity. Preparedness is something one can never have too much of when considering an epidemic of the walking dead. Some of the basics are: Assessing the potential for a zombie outbreak at any given time, knowing the four types of zombies and how to respond to each (an absolute must), and most importantly, you need to have a plan.
I chose to write about “The Walking Dead Opens Its Season in Lively Fashion”, by Mark Dawidziak because, I personally love this show which is the purpose of my choice! “The Walking Dead” is a TV series that is currently beginning its 8th Season this October. This show is based on an apocalypse that takes place following some government experimenting. Their experiments go terribly wrong and zombies are the end result. The author of “The Walking Dead Opens Its Season in Lively Fashion” really pulls in the heart of the story by being so passionate with his own descriptions of the series.
Do you like The walking Dead? Well that is what I feel like- I have become a zombie. But unlike your normal zombie- I am addicted to watching Netflix, not the flesh of the living.

My research was only able to locate one article that directly mentions the Walking Dead series. The work primarily focuses on the visual stereotypes expressed in the series. According to Munson (2007) “ In his comic book series The Walking Dead, Robert Kirkman continues to show that zombies as metaphors are just as relevant today as they were thirty years ago. Recently, the zombie genre has made a comeback in literature and film. Kirkman leads the charge in the comics medium, making his series one of the most successful zombie comics of all time.
In real life, humans have many traits that allow us to be considered top of the hierarchical food chain, yet allow us to remain in classifications with animal species – mammals. Humans are a highly developed species, with abilities that surpass nearly all other animals on the planet. This being said, this complexity allows for many conflicts to arise, as well as differing opinions on solutions. Although humans are so evolved, some argue that animal instincts found in humans are still quite prevalent. In The Walking Dead, the virus being embedded in everyone’s brain could be a reflection of humans’ inherent animalistic qualities. If we continue with this analogy, the virus could represent the potential that every human has to become a monster (in a figurative sense in reality, or a literal sense in the series). This furthers the idea that zombie narratives tend to mirror societies fears and anxieties over the condition of the world, or possible events that could occur, all while placing responsibility at the hands of humanity. Although The Walking Dead in particular does not explain the cause of the outbreak, or blame humanity, it does reflect how humanity can take charge of the situation as well as express moral values that humanity should strive

It was strange, you know? I had always had a fear of the zombie apocalypse, even when people went on and on about how it couldn’t exist. Maybe that paranoia was what helped me become so prepared. When the living dead had struck at me for the first time I had been surprised with how well I took it. I only threw

No book has captivated the zombie apocalypse better than World War Z. Max Brooks creatively presents “a worldwide zombie pandemic from outbreak to aftermath” (Boyd, Tristan). His book encompasses many social and political themes in the world today. The book
The Walking Dead universe does not use the term zombies, but “walkers” instead. The premise of the game revolves around the main character Lee Everett and a little girl named Clementine, who he meets at the beginning of the game and is set to protect her at all costs.

The main storyline does not stray too much and the choices that the players make affect more on character development and how the other characters in the game perceive Lee.
