I think it was Great! I don't get the people comments, specially when we know that "Fear the Walking Dead" is THE BEGINNING. In fact, I wasn't expecting to see a zombie in the first episode; but I think what we saw was enough. I really liked the characters with their family issues. And I also liked the tone and mood of the pilot. I liked a lot of things from it, specially the video that goes "viral" on-line. It seems to me that the fear at the beginning will be more like a PARANOIA without people knowing what it is really going on. They will feel exactly like the boy when he woke up and he thought he was hallucinating. It seems to me that is good spin-off and it will give us lots of answers. The connections are already there!
I love this pilot mainly because it reminds us of fear which is the title. We're used to the survivors who have had to do some of the worst things in order to survive, this is a chance to create a show based on the fear of losing everything rather than based on source material. Everyone who wants to immediately hate the show because it's another cash grab shut up. Robert Kirkman has the ability to create another side of his universe. Let's let him do it.
