A few things I’d like to clarify as I know the timeline is confusing. We know the CDC discovered the virus in April 2010, as Dr. Jenner is quoted in season 1 as saying, “It's Day 194 since Wildfire was declared, and 63 days since the disease abruptly went global”. We know monument day was august 27th, as confirmed by AMC in a social media post in 2023 The tales of twd episode “Blair/ Gina” also confirms the fall began on a Friday, which matches up as August 27th in our real world calendar. Using the day and night cycle from episodes 1-3 of Fear season 1, we can determine what events were occurring on which days leading up to monument day.

[@KaptainOW]

Well, since we know wildfire is airborne, this leaves one of two situations. Either they discovered it and it wasn’t capable of airborne transmission, or it started off being airborne, but gradually mutated to adapt quicker and quicker to the human body. This means that there were walkers, but very rare and not identifiable, until a sizable amount of the population was infected, and the base mortality rate began to majorly become walkers, which is when the pandemic was declared

[@ItsBlueFusionYT]

We NEED a full Day 0/Day 1 to Day/Year 10/11 of the show/s TWD/FEAR/WB/ Etc. I've tried to put the full complete Day to day timeline together but it's just so confusing. If anyone else can layout the timeline. By. All. Means. PLEASE

The creators need to make a dedicated series on the fall of society and operation cobalt from the police and military perspective. Ftwd season 1 wasn't enough.

[@FrederickTheAnon14W]

Unfortunately I'm doubtful that we'll get such an explanation, The creator of The Walking Dead Robert Kirkman has stated numerous times that he's not interested in truly explaining the reasons as to how the outbreak actually got started, He said that he feels like it would ruin the narrative and that the shows and comics are more about surviving the collapse and adapting, Rather than explaining why it happened in the first place.

[@justinTime077]

@@FrederickTheAnon14Wand I like that. Original stories are often such sullbhit

[@edaingonzalez7179]

@@FrederickTheAnon14Wdang I would have liked how it all turned to hell at the start

[@Destroyerofnations]

Shameless plug but I’m trying to plan out a fanmade version of just that

[@GadzooksEugene]

Season 1 wasn't fair, either. The military wouldn't have been set up like that, even if it was just the Army National Guard. They should've had lookouts on roofs and upper floors of buildings in every direction from the lock-down, plus road barriers, so that horde from the stadium shouldn't have been as viable a weapon as it was in the show.

[@AJadedLizard]

This is always my favorite part of any zombie story. Watching society collapse is always more interesting to me than seeing a bunch of randos wander around in the forest for five years.

[@GojiraBiscuits.]

Agreed, the opening scenes from Dawn Of The Dead (2004) and World War Z are my favourite parts of any zombie film. Someone needs to do a Hardcore Henry/Cloverfield style film where it's literally just two hours of watching the character try to survive the initial outbreak.

[@AJadedLizard]

@@GojiraBiscuits. Seoul Station, the prequel to Train to Busan, is basically this. It's animated and *extremely* bleak, especially compared to the other movies, but it's pretty good. "Outbreak" in Resident Evil: Outbreak is about an hour long mission set during the Raccoon City Outbreak's opening hours, and the original Resident Evil 3 also has that if you're into games. I'm writing a couple stories myself that are set within the beginning of the apocalypse (one takes place over the course of a weekend, while the other is over a few weeks). I wish there was more out there, though. Also nice to see another Godzilla fan.

[@raynes6286]

There was an interesting series by the BBC called ‘In the Flesh’ depicting a world where the apocalypse has been prevented. Society is dealing with what happened and the status quo is returning. Zombies are treated with medication, militias are just starting to disband… but there are a lot of consequences. Discrimination, widespread PTSD across society (the risen also have this as the cure repairs their brain and they remember what they did), militia members have a hard time readjusting back to civilian life… Great series that really explores a forgotten side of the apocalypse, the “victory”.

[@sentenza5766]

The scene where the LAPD cop stack gallons of water in his car, and the look he gives to Travis still gives me chills when i think about it

[@FrederickTheAnon14W]

I find that scene (Along with many others) interesting because it shows how even such people that had access to information like that LAPD cop still didn't realize and comprehend just how LONG and how BAD things would get, So he thought that such quantities of water (And presumably other goods) for him and his family would tide him over, Not realizing that 18-20+ years later in shows like Dead City and The Ones Who Live society is still suffering from the affects of Monument Day. I would assume that particular cop in general might've survived a while (And especially longer than his colleagues) since I believe he either left L.A shortly after this or holed up in his house.

[@BlitzinMackGaming]

​@@FrederickTheAnon14Weven still it's smart to grab what you can when you can. The cop did the right thing there.

[@FrederickTheAnon14W]

@@BlitzinMackGaming Of course it is, But it's better to prepare for a disaster/collapse long before it happens. In the case of water there are many better solutions when you prep before stuff starts to hit the fan, Instead of simply hurriedly tossing cases of water into your trunk you should have and know how to install and operate a shallow well or (If you have the money) a deep well that is powered. And if you want to be creative then set up a system for rainwater collection and that way (Alongside the cases of water) you have something that is ready for the long haul. If you don't have the money or the space then set aside a space for both water and food (And other such essentials), You can buy blue plastic containers in all different shapes and sizes. Buy one of those and rotate it out every so often whilst having a well or rainwater collection system as a main goal to work towards. It may all sound more difficult and extreme than simply buying cases of water but the goal is something that can be used in the long-term

[@reg4211]

Yes. Great scene. I love the one where maddy and travis are driving to the church. Someone, in shadow, in a large hat is sort of lurching along and maddy looks at them as they go by.... are they or aren't they?

[@BlitzinMackGaming]

@@FrederickTheAnon14W I mean I guess, but I'm definitely not prepared right now if what happened in The walking Dead happened in the real world. It's such an incredibly small chance for an extinction level event to happen in your lifetime. And your average police officer isn't going to have information about that way in advance. Basically you're saying everyone on earth should always be ready, but if that was the case there wouldn't be anywhere near enough supply to make that happen. Simply isn't possible. Any person that would prepare on that level for something like that is going to be known by everybody as the crazy end of the world guy. And if shit actually does end up happening, guess where all the desperate people are going to go first? To the crazy end of the world guy.

I still think that if the government acted enough to inform everyone how the infection works, the public and even local police forces and ambulance staff knowing this would allow them to prevent reanimation

[@muttipi]

seeing how the government reacted to covid on a local and national level compared to other states makes me imagine we'd be doomed either way. I'm sure there'd also be like a hundred sigma male influencers who would run into hordes to prove its just a government psyop or something.

[@alphayxninja]

It wasn’t curable so they didn’t know. Even if they said anything, the virus was going to spread one way or another. Everyone who was sick was infected, and especially at hospitals

[@Swell-Films]

Agreed. ESPECIALLY since the CDC was studying it for months.

[@davidrichardson8328]

They knew, they were using air pistols to “humanely dispatch” the infected/dead. However, by that time, it was too late. Operation cobalt was enacted, and the collapse of society followed soon thereafter.

[@tabathacarruthers5122]

You can't say that. Look at what happened with COVID. This virus spread faster it sounds like, especially once it became airborne.

[@kingdevin_]

Monument Day is the main reason I appreciate Fear the walking dead season 1. Since we got to see the early starts of the outbreak forming. I feel like the Government could have better informed the people if they took it way more seriously. Considering how fast the virus spread, it could be a little more prep time if people knew which could have saved more lives. I like how we still get some mentions of this day even now in the shows. That tells you how important this day was. I definitely feel for the astronaut because he literally had no way to get back home in space.

[@susanoo3695]

he's probably the luckiest person in the whole walking dead universe it's because he's the only one that didn't see someone get bit or eaten or hear the agonizing scream of someone getting eaten

[@jmsgridiron5628]

​@@susanoo3695would also technically mean he wouldn't be infected. The transmission was via an airborne pathogen. If he was up in space when it happened, then he wouldn't need to worry about coming back when he runs out of supplies.

[@generalbutterscotch4887]

Honestly, even if Kirkman never explains the origin of the virus I would love to see a true prequel series set roughly a year or so before the CDC discovered wildfire, with the show ending around the time Shane and Lori escape Atlanta.

I would *love* to see a walking dead series with 3-4 seasons that show Monument Day from the POV of 3-4 different major cities/scenarios. It would awesome to see Detroit, Chicago, Annapolis, a city thats not really big in movies. Throw in some rural Kansas for a change of pace

[@topsdaily_productions]

Enough of America show me London, Moscow, shanghai etc during monument day

[@wyattjohnson1160]

I would love to see that too!! But have each season be a different city from another country like the UK, Germany, China, Russia, Italy, Japan, South Korea, and Australia. If they did do that the first season should be in The United States and these should be the cities it should take place in NYC, Philly, Chicago, Denver, SLC, Detroit, Dallas, St. Louis, Miami, Seattle, Portland, San Diego, San Francisco, and Nashville.

When the world falls, even the most isolated places will feel the effect.

[@kevindrake4529]

I wish that they did Fear the Walking Dead as an anthology like American Horror Story. Each season could have shown different cities at the lead up to Monument Day. First season LA but then they could have done Washington, Chicago, London, etc. That first season of Fear was excellent. And it was so scary at times as people started figuring things out.

[@DominionSorcerer]

I feel like although the outbreak started in France, France seems to have been amongst the countries that handled the outbreak the best at least in terms of how their people fared, since the Pouvoir Du Vivant have reclaimed enough of France's territory to establish the sixth French Republic.

Interestingly in reality this couldn't hold up no more, at least for prolonged time. Someone would blow the whistle at some point, at least in democratic/western societies. At least on something as major and big as this.

[@harryvass9018]

Monument Day is by far the most interesting part of the Walking Dead and the show now over 10 years old has hardly fucking explored it. Fear the walking dead rushed it so quickly. All I want is a full season all about Monument Day it a few day before or after the outbreak there's so much you can show in this short time period for God Sakes it's a Gold mine.

[@Swell-Films]

I’ve been saying this for years. Absolutely criminal to only feature the fall for as little as they have.

[@rbgerald2469]

We could even have perspectives from other countries too. The UK, Russia, and others. (TWD but with 28 Days Later kind of feels, anyone?) Or a perspective from Embassy workers in other countries seeing their home nation and the nation they're in fall apart. (Like the origin of Sam in the Metro series of games but Zombies)

[@FrederickTheAnon14W]

I also wish that we could've gotten an explanation as to what ultimately happened to Tobias, However I'm also glad that he didn't get the Morales treatment where he was brought back just for a few episodes and then killed off without any further explanation. One of the old showrunners for Fear stated that he considered Tobias to be alive after the collapse, However subsequent showrunners haven't stated this so his fate remains unknown and thus there's always a chance that he might be brought back at some point.

[@icrywhenisleep2130]

​@onetallpheeesh they never talked about him after season 1 unless I missed something Madison said during the final season, he could be alive since the guy in daryl dixon says California has a huge settlement that's doing good

It has not yet been explained exactly how the virus spread so quickly in a short period of time (Assuming its discovery was in April 2010 and Monument Day on August 27/28, 2010), just 4 months... So I remembered something, between June and July 2010, there was the World Cup, that is, millions of people (some already infected), traveling to the same place, passing the virus to other people, who would take it to their countries of origin , to their families, work colleagues or school. An event like the World Cup would greatly accelerate the spread of the Virus.

Let's also not forget that the doctors and hospitals already knew that something was going on because they had (Presumably new) regulations when it came to dealing with people who coded (Died) where they would only briefly attempt to bring said people back with such things as defibrillators before taking them "Downstairs" afterwards, As seen in Fear Season 1 Episode 1 when Nick was in the hospital.

It's also interesting to note that it seems that the Ambulance/EMT crews either didn't have the same protocols or weren't following them as in the highway scene the crash victim had been "Down" too long and the protocols would've told them not to risk interacting with the body after a certain period of time.

[@ricklundeen2722]

A couple of things: 1) when Hurricane Katrina hit, you saw mass chaos, police abandoned their posts left and right stealing cars to get out of the area- hospitals were over run as doctors and nurses fled, people were left to fend for themselves in the immediate aftermath. 2) I'm a federal worker- in the weeks before the Covid pandemic hit and everything closed down, we started getting odd/confusing e mails from the powers that be, some would one thing then another would arrive saying the opposite - then on that day in March, we came to work, only to be told to take your computer and go home as government buildings were closing down- then everything else started to close down and all you would hear was reports from hospitals about the growing sickness and how people were dying- and then- ALL THE TOILET PAPER IN THE COUNTRY DISSAPEARED!

I think biting and/or scratching introduces the body to the virus in its active farm rather then the dormant form that doesn't activate until death. This causes the body to try and fight it like any other virus/bacteria hence symptoms like Fever, coughing, aches and pains etc. The dormant form of the virus probably also wakes up and makes the process faster. Theoretically there's is a incredibly and I mean next to impossible chance that someone could actually beat the virus someway, some how.

I wonder if a cure will ever be found or if the series will end with just people doing their best to survive in the walking dead world. I personally would like to see the idea of terra forming A new world just for the sake of seeing people scramble to get off the planet

God damn was ftwd seasons 1-3 so good

"If there's a problem, we're going to know about it; the authorities will tell us." I hear this every time I accidentally read something that is political online. It's not fun because I know that there's things that our governments have to keep a few things secret to not start a panic.

You know what would or could be a good movie for the walking dead franchise. The story of the people aboard the ISS. There is about to be a movie releases based around the ISS but it’s thing is what happens if they witness nuclear war break out between Russia and the US and then the ensuing fight aboard the ISS.

Imagine being a police responding to a person who got hit by a truck or a bus and that person stood and trying to attack the others and you fired a round into the torso only for them to keep walking to bute or violently attack someone else and that person who got attacked to turn like them.

[@sascharay190]

They should make a walking dead movie about the Military

[@Swell-Films]

[@juicyblox5729]

[@shokusakabe4428]

if only they had a george romero in their world

[@holdentudiks9390]

We needa okafor spinoff prequel. Would be perfect. Show and teach us ever thing about the beginning. Get to see more of the short lived glory of okafor. And maybe we’d get to see some Rick at a point and see more badass solider Rick. prolly will never happen tho

[@saywise1106]

Am I the only one who wants to see what happened to Tobias? I think his survivial story would be epic!!

ECHELON is a name used in global media and in popular culture to describe a signals intelligence collection and analysis network operated on behalf of the five signatory states to the UKUSA agreement - Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States (known as AUSCANZUKUS). The system has been reported in a number of public sources. It was reportedly set up in 1971 as an electronic monitoring system during the Cold War.

swell feeding us goooood 🔥

[@darinwatts8116]

I gotta say bites i understand. But scratches tho dont always make someone turn. Look at negan in Season 10. He got scratched. Didnt turn tho. Then again it just made his skin on his arm turn red. It didnt draw blood.

[@DeathBYDesign666]

I wonder does a bite from a regular human also cause the same reaction?

[@zombiebullshark3834]

Bro I walk away from this show for 5 years and suddenly there are like 4 extra shows 😂

[@juanmanuelcardona19]

The Authorities would tell us Hahahahahaha right, because the Government cares SOOO much about us

[@Ilostscourgeisoptimusprime]

I wish Rick met new Negan in the ones who live
