Finally, someone who wants a show about the initial fall as much as I do. I wanna see grocery stores being raided, government officials grappling with telling the public, the quarantine zones falling, the CDC trying to find the cause. I was so disappointed that Fear the Walking Dead was supposed to explore this stuff and completely skipped over it to tell another story about a much less interesting family surviving after the initial collapse. It could be so interesting!!! Also idk why this video doesn’t have a ton of views, I’ve wanted a video specifically about the pilot for so long.

The pilot felt like a movie. Season 1 as a whole feels like a movie also. I love the following 2 or 3 seasons but I always wonder what frank darabont’s version would’ve looked like if he was able to finish the show the way he wanted.

i guess shane really did put his fry in ricks ketchup

I'll never get bored of Koroto talking about TWD

@FUJIIDEW 1 year ago

Frank Darabont was the reason the beginning was so great. He surely knew how to tell a story, how to make characters feel like real people, how to make the Walkers more than walking corpses. I mean look at how they used to climb, use rocks, and even the scenes with the CDC? Incredible stuff. It cannot be denied that season 1 was extremely gripping due to Darabont's story telling. Man I wish we could have seen where the show went with his direction.

I also like the look Rick gives the little zombie girl, it conveys so much from having to shoot a kid, to the fact that she already died once before, scared and alone. Pity, sadness, and the feeling that you must do it or you'll end up the same in just one look. Cant express how perfect it is

Dude the way you described Rick waking up in the hospital sounds like Rick got Isekai’d by shotgun-kun to the walking dead universe

24:48 as an American that 50 mile joke was so funny yet so true, the closest store is a mile away and there are some points where one side of the street just doesn't have a sidewalk and there are no bike lanes so it's either car or military helicopter as transportation options

Dipping your fries in your buddy's sauce is not gross by necessity. It can also show how good of friends they really are, and build at the pain of betrayal

@chucksellers8422 1 year ago

When you think about the walkers you think of the half woman Hannah, the little girl with a bear, the tank walker, Morgans wife, and the purple jacket walker, all from the very beginning.

Koroto back on TWD?!

We are so back 🗣️

@justarandomchannel8150 1 year ago

I've rewatched the pilot episode more times than I can count and it never gets old

@blakelandry9313 1 year ago

Can’t wait for your final walking dead retrospective honestly the first season I think is my favorite out of all the seasons in the entire show

@charlotteferguson5102 1 year ago

This opening episode had me hooked! It wasn't anything I thought I'd ever see from a TV show

@connortheassassin 1 year ago

Korotos Mystery Shack rides again! I imagine this series could be twice as long as the last TWD one you did

@Slimerror 1 year ago

The thing about smart walkers is that they didn't completely disappear, they just became more subtle. Such as when the old farmer introduced in season 2 got bit on the leg by a zombie that was 'playing dead' it is true that usually the smart walkers now just get boiled down to lurkers that sit around waiting for prey to walk into their grasps

@xangel_dawnx5130 1 year ago

Over analyzing TWD?!! Something I didn’t know I needed but so happy to get it!! Also I just watched this episode the other day so the timing is perfect!

@pyroAdapt 1 year ago

Thw guy in the tank is also not just some random dude for many other reasons. He is the voice actor for Deacon St John in the game "Days Gone" qs well as the playable character "StarKiller" in the Star wars Force unleashed series

Ooh I was going to try going back to sleep but I’m so glad I did a quick morning scroll for new posts. Hooray for the walking dead!!!!🎉

I agree that we need more early apocalypse stuff from the series. Every time a show gives us some of that it just makes me more interested to see how it all went down across the world. Seeing more foreign countries would also be nice, so it's not just a franchise about the American countryside and woodlands.
