Seven Ways ‘The Walking Dead’ Has Learned From Its Mistakes
And yes, we really appreciate the bit of mercy kindly bestowed by sprinkling in “Fear The Walking Dead” to pacify the massive audience that TWD attracts while everyone waited for the holy grail of zombie-killing entertainment.
Daniel Salazar used his own unconventional methods to extract the truth about Operation Cobalt – the withdrawal of the army and “the humane termination” of anyone that gets in the way – but will the army actually be able to go through with such a awful act. There’s going to be external conflict and obstacles to contend with.
I can’t talk about that but for instance, we’ve also never had a character like Strand (Coleman Domingo) in The Walking Dead. So for the Fear characters to make it across the country? You care about the new characters that are introduced. There will be new conflicts and much more drama on sea and on land but I don’t have a specific number yet.

Despite the fact that zombies can’t walk on water and can’t swim, there will be plenty of zombies to be had. Erickson briefly talked about water zombies, but said he’d have to consult with Robert Kirkman for a definitive answer.
For those not now in the throes of walker mania, I’m here to tell you that Fear the Walking Dead is the companion show to AMC’s ratings behemoth, The Walking Dead. Think of it as a light appetizer before the main course, preparing us for what appears to be an awesome sixth season of The Walking Dead.
