on the podcast they’re talking about adding the underground fungus network to the game

Spores never made sense.. How you gonna walk through a room full of spores, take off the mask, and have no spores on you

cold opens have been the star of this show so far. a "hot take" i'm sure.

also, replacing Anna Torv, who has been a block of wood on 3 good shows now, with Nick Offerman and Murray Bartlet is a huge W

Glad HBO is handling this well. I was not going to drag thru that weak ass hide-and-seek with zombies ass game just to experience a decent story.

I love, LOVE, how they've added the mycelium network that fungus communicate with. I just learned about that and here we are.


Oh yeah - Those clickers make my fukking flesh crawl. Looks so gross and I've never had this problem watching anything before. It's dope.

Why do zombies want to eat people?

The infected are fungus that want to spread their spores/pollenate

honest question for the non-gamers - are you blown away so far, or does this just feel like derivative stuff? i'm in the middle.

I'm not. I really want to like this show, but it's just not hitting yet. The acting is good, good characters, but something isn't clicking. The Walking Dead definitely started off better than this.

I think that time jump really throwing people off. I'm use to see the chaos and the progression into better times.

turns out i prefer the stuff added to the show over the actual game lore. the cold opens have been excellent, and the outbreak stuff was good (if not redundant to a bunch of other things) but once it gets to the current timeline, i'm just, "oh, so it's gonna be this?" gamers going insane lead me to believe we're gonna get something fresh and exciting, so i'll just trust them.

I prefered the Station Eleven pilot also

I miss some of the game elements that haven't been included in the show, but I'm guessing they are saving more of that until later in the season when Bill and David's crew comes into the picture. The current timeline seems rather empty people wise compared to the games.

The show is super hyped up also. A lot of high expectations. People really expecting this to blow other Zombie Apocalypse shows out of the water.


I think it's be better without of the zombie. More Book of Eli than Walking Dead. But I'll give it a few more looks.

I'm tired of all this HBO Feminist women empowerment agenda. The women have more balls than the men.
