Fear the Walking Dead

[Rowdy]

Looking forward to the Spinoff "Fear the Walking Dead" due out this August.  Will be interesting to see the how the outbreak got started.  Got the grandson watching the walking dead series and he went back in a week and caught up from the beginning.

I'm a Walking Dead fan.  Is "Fear of the Walking Dead" suppose to have happened before the Walking Dead? 

[Rowdy]

Correct it will be how things got started and be set in LA

[Merry Prankster]

The Prankster has seen the first two shows--so far, OK, not as good as TWD.  Rowdy--the show still doesn't explain how the zombie plague started.  At this point the Prankster does not see how this will substantially differ from the Walking Dead except for different characters and settings.

This show has gotten better this season as we get to learn more about the characters.  However, I still am not as invested in any of them like I am Daryl, Rick, and Glenn. 

Did they mean to imply that the disease came in on the plane?  If so that doesn't make sense since some people on the ground were already infected.  I don't get the significance of the plane.
