I am loving it, I am engrossed, and I was thinking how much of a trial that TWD series two was at times, but I am finding this more watchable than that.

Thank you very much for taking time to explain it to me. I am grateful for your effort, and I know understand everything that happened in the episode

If they did, it wouldn't of changed anything, as she was pregnant.

i can't see why they need someone to 'get them into Mexico' - they are in a boat, they just need to land anywhere they want as i doubt in the midst of a zombie apocalypse there will be anyone checking passports and visas!

And I dont understand the whole Mexico thing at all. If there is a global, deadly (or un-deadly..) virus spreading, and the whole world is on the brink of collapse.. Also, your only language is English. Wouldn't you want to be either, A. In your own country. Or B. In USA or any other well developed European country?

Did Strand not say that he had a place that had big walls and plenty of supplies, i presume that is why they are heading there.

Yes, he did. It's just that I am like Miss Marple, I don't believe everything people tell me

After I posted this I saw the other very good reply already to your questions, glad it's all a bit clearer for you, it was a bit hard to see what had happened .

That beginning sequence was weird, thought he was dreaming for a while. It was well done though. And, yet again, Nick starts off in a sparkling white top and immediately gets it smeared in gore, teenagers eh?!

I don't really see the appeal of Mexico either. Strand's boyfriend seemed to have a comfortable set up in that new town he was living in.

That collection of deserted tents gave an insight into how others were living when they were in their enclave.

You must be right, I couldn't have watched it properly. I vaguely remember hearing that dialogue, but I must have turned my head or been distracted by something. I don't know, but evidently you must be right so I have to believe you.
Okay, my mistake. My fault.
But nevertheless it must have been a very abrupt blink and you'd miss it scene. Surely there should have been more interaction and suspicion, paranoia, and questioning. Just a bit of drama where you actually see some dramatic interaction. Because the group are suspicious of anyone else they come into contact with.

This is just not flowing well. Maybe there's something I missed, like last week, but scenes just seem to abruptly come out of nowhere and it's not easy to figure out what's going on.

For example, I put my hands up and admit that I may have missed something at the start which explained why drug boy was wandering about in a housing estate. I understood later on that Strand had asked him to go ahead. But was this covered at the start of the episode?
And then when the group were taken over in the boat. What? Why? Who? How did that happen? It was like a magician's trick where stuff suddenly happened but I couldn't work out what was going on. One second the group were in control, and then suddenly the other people were. And I didn't quite catch how Strand appeared where he did outside with the liferaft.
This was edited so quickly with shaky-cam I couldn't tell what on earth what was going on.

He did. He might have been talking about the place we saw in the flashback with Strand and Dougray Scott sunbathing on loungers sipping cocktails.

That's where TWD crew got it wrong, they should just go to the nearest holiday resort.

Yes, I agree. Although I did see that scene with the woman, it was over too quickly. And suddenly they are in a boat behind them.

The group should have asked a lot of questions.

Wasn't time to ask questions.

Summary. Strand was right. Don't tell strangers too much and don't help anyone.

I agree. When I watched it I was instantly confused because I didn't hear what she said and all of a sudden there was another boat and another person.

However, I did watch that section again and, to be honest, she said quite clearly - we need to make a stop. But no other explanation.

Given Daniel's distrust of anyone and his past life, I don't see why he would agree to that.

To me, it is no longer a zombie drama. It has been changed into a mystery drama. At
least with TWD we had many encounters with zombies before other people became more of a threat. It has evolved.

I also think it is very badly edited. Without any discussion between Nick and Strand we see Nick swimming to shore -naked. What was that about. Why was he not dressed. Okay, I guess it was something to do with walking about in wet clothes but aren't they in Los Angeles surely his clothes would dry quickly.

And given that they know someone is coming after them and that other people have been gunned down why was nobody on watch to prevent anyone just boarding.

Why did Strand not see them coming if he was watching for Nick. And why the hell did he get off the boat. He could easily have hidden and picked them off quietly one at a time. Even I could have done that.

Me too! Thank goodness for the Eagle Eyed posters on DS, there is always someone who has spotted what's going on or can at least unravel it!

It just jumps to some random scene without any explanation. The others didn't seem to even know where Nick was. And when he was on the beach who was that flying overhead in the helicopter?

I find i have to watch it twice to catch everything, im often tired when i first watch it, and it can be poor editing at times.

The place in Mexico is in the mountains, has walls and food, a lot of rich people have Doomsday bunkers.

They where a mile or 2 out, clothing is a real drag when swimming and would have tired him out.

I'm also sick of them being stuck in that boat for so long.
I was one who thoroughly enjoyed the first series because I felt as though it was traveling along a well paced path. I really enjoyed it and thought it would go from strength to strength.
So at the start of this series I expected them to not spend so much time with the boat, and that the story would move onto something else either during the second episode or at the end of it.
But it's going to be the case that they will have been floating around in that damned boat for the vast majority of this series, if not all of it.

It might sound petty but I'm simply bored of them being stuck in a boat, episode after episode. We've now had 4 episodes out of a total of 6, and the series is still boat based, which presumably they aren't going to leave until at least halfway through next week's 5th and penultimate episode of the series.
It feels like it hasn't progressed at all since the first episode.
I have no idea why the show makers thought it was a good idea to have them stuck in a boat for almost the entirety of the series. If somebody had told me that this was the synopsis for this series before it started I would have told them that can't be true because that decision would be madness.

I think I may have made a mistake above. I posted that there are 6 episodes in Series 2, but apparently there are 15.
I made the mistake because on Wikipedia it only listed 6 episodes.

It's still dragging for me though.

You may have missed it, but there are going to be 15 episodes (or that's what they said at the time)

There's 7 episodes and then a short break, i read it starts in June so it may be 2 to 4 weeks off air and then the final 8 eps.

ep 7, 22 May.


It could become like star trek each episode a new land, haha. I Hope the boat gets sunk, or they get there quick and the place is destroyed and they have to find a new place.

It should have been a 2 day boat ride at most, even if they went out into open ocean to avoid other boats.

Yes I posted just above your post to say that I made a mistake with the episode count number.

You must have done that after i started reading the page, as wasn't there when i answered (so could have taken me 5 minutes to read the page)
