We have a two-fer on our hands! covering the #SeasonPremiere & the 2nd episode! The #FearTWDSeason5 #SeasonPremiere at #IFCCenter was AWESOME, especially the Q&A at the end. Special shout out to @celtictso & @sonnengartens (on Instagram) for meeting me there! PLEASE, donate to Rachael Burt's fundraister for #StJudes Hospital: every donation gets us one step closer to SHAVING HER HEAD (like #AlphaTWD)! http://fundraising.stjude.org/RachaelB * That settles it, we're all shaving Rachael-Scissor-Hands' head in August (HELP US RAISE THAT MONAY!) * #AMC throwing a ton of marketing dollars in Fear's direction * ...no doubt it's in no small part to the large roll it will play in the overall franchise * And with #DwightTWD's arrival in the next episode, we need to talk about the timeline * Reopening Carol's wound: The opening theme * Doubling-down on Fear, the discomfort in coming back to The Walking Dead * Enter: Logan. #MattFrewer * ...Big-bad vs Bad... Bad is far more insteresting * The idea of Jim and, again, humanization by way of movies. #JimbosBeerbos * #DanayGarcia turns the acting up to 11, buuuuut... the show fails at making us care about #LucianaGalvez * ...and speaking of being hamstrung, R.I.P. #MorganJones' stick * #DanielSalazar (and #MadisonClark) possibly flying in to save the day? * ...and #AliciaClark ironically following in Madison's footsteps. #TroyOtto #JeremiahOtto * Are you team people or team animal in the #ZombieApocalypse? #NakedAndAfraid * ...the idea of Dylan, Max, and Annie: where they came from and the Nuclear Meltdown as a backdrop * ...and with Grace as a possible foil, is Sherry a part of the big-bad group? How will that affect Dwight? * ...and speaking of Grace: maybe She & Morgan? * The most capable characters, this season, were the most messed up, last season * #Althea may be gone for most of the season, but ( #prediction ) is the last man standing * #SneakPeeks: Looks like they'll be encroaching on big-bad territory... in an old west/ghost town? * STAY TUNED FOR OUR NEXT PODCAST DIRECTLY AFTER THE NEXT EPISODE OF FEAR THE WALKING DEAD, AT 10 PM, EASTERN/US TIME! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/squawkingdead/message
