Just went through the Fear the Walking dead episodes and we loved them. It felt really good to watch regular humans getting shocked by the inevitable fact that is spreading across the land and feeling helpless once again. In the real series, the heroes are so damn skilled at getting rid of the zombie threat that this new world of people felt a lot more exciting. They should multiple these kinds of series. It's way more exciting to see what happens to regular people's life in the process of the zombie apocalypse than watching a handsome redneck crossbowing the **** out of the entire world.
A question to the more knowledged:
Why do the word "zombie" not get pronounced even once in the series the Walking Dead? I always wondered this.

Thanks a lot lefty. That makes perfect sense. My wife is so scared to see a walker baby in one of those scenes. Maybe it is a taboo to the writers.

You're welcome!
I believe the closest they've come was the little girl in the first scenes of the Series opener (who picked up the stuffed animal), and Carol's daughter on the farm. Those are the youngest walkers I've seen.
There is also a young girl walker on the freeway among the broken down cars that Rick kills.
I read a zombie book once and this group of survivors stop at this rest stop and there is a broken down school bus. Well a kindergarten class has been on a field trip and gotten killed when the apocalypse hit. So in the woods were all these 5 year old zombies. The survivors go to a nearby river and the zombie kids come out and attack them. Kill 2 of the 5 I think.
I remember reading it and being like "oh crap! little zombies!" In Zombie literature and movies you really don't see little/baby zombies that much.

The remake of Dawn of The Dead in 2004 had a zombie baby (the mom got bit and turned shortly before giving birth).
Also in the TV show Z Nation, the first episode has one (but that TV show is trying to be cheesy/funny in a over the top on purpose kinda way).
As far as The Walking Dead, I chalk it up to a couple of things, a baby is very small so it's easy to imagine it gets eaten like Lauri did, also even if not their skulls are still very soft so in the scuffle it is also easy to see the brain getting damaged. Lastly it is a bit of a heavy and sad subject that they probably just don't want to show.
Oh and I also put it in the same category as why there are no hot naked woman zombies.

Derrick Favors is a big fan of The Walking Dead comic book and thinks the TV show is meh.

You forgot Governors daughter.
So yeah, wtf. Maggie comes along for a war mission for what reason? Doesnt really make sense why she would come, was super obvious she was going to get captured. Just doesnt make any sense as something Rick would sign off on. A solid episode of murdering ruined by a dumb plot device that defies the characters.
God damn, kill Abraham too please. The dude serves up so many cringe worthy lines every episode and I'm starting to just fast-forward through all his scenes.
