I know what a HEAT round is.

That's why I asked the question.  I thought RPGs were knock offs of Panzerfausts, which definitely had shaped charge warheads.

Watched the first couple episodes of the new season of FTWD.

Very "meh" so far.

And if you're going to last on a boat during the End of the World...you're better off with a sailing yacht.  :P

And why be lame and make/give Catalina Island a fictional place/name?

Anyway, if by some reason i were to ask for tribute, half your shit is too punitive for empire building, no matter what's your style. I think a 3rd or less.

Siege knows his classics.  1/3 is what the Barbs took from the Romans according to the traditional sources.

It's an alternative universe. There's bound to be discrepancies.

It's not like they altered names for Los Angeles, Atlanta, or Alexandria (except that Alexandria looks like rural Georgia, when it obviously shouldn't).

BTW, the latest Fear was pretty good, the show still has a chance.

For some reason I can't get interested in any of the characters. They're all annoying.

Yeah, I keep mistaking the son for one of the Walkers.

true, but eventually, you'll need fuel.  They should start thinking about that while it's still time.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

So yeah, Fear TWD isn't resonating with me as much as TWD.

I understand the need for the writers to do something different with it, rather than the same story set in L.A., but , while the strength of TWD is that it's not JUST about zombies, in this one they've pretty much removed the zombies all together. Now it's just a bunch of whining people going around from place to place encountering bad people.

It appears that Maggie (Lauren Cohan) is the one that gets bludgeoned to death.  :(

She broke down crying at a convention so the rumour is her character is the one who dies

And clues from a recent S7 scene that was shown.

Josephus

Well, apparently two people are going to die in the first episode.
But I wonder how much these clues, including a crying actress, are red herrings?
