Apologies if this spoils, but it was cool how it showed humanity breaking down in the face of the crisis. Some giving up, some fighting til the bitter end. If you remember - they did not kill Susan (the neighbor zombie that the military took out) but how it escalated from that was decent in regards of how some can keep it together (or attempt to) and others just think they can cut ties & go it alone.

A couple questions:

At the end, what was the red stuff in the ocean?

If zombie blood is enough to infect humans, why hasn't any of TWD cast been 'turned'?

I'd like to know why they haven't turned either, with blood splatters and all the zombie killing.

Hey thanks, yea, I had heard of red tides & certain algae causing such events before but wasn't sure if it was just there @ the time of shooting or put in to look like a new way the infection would spread.

The fish would be zombies too, leading to them trying to be catching & eating them, to turn zombie or it was just....a normal red tide floating by in the last few scenes.
Not trying to kill off the characters of the show. I think it just gave a foreboding look with it washing across the last few scenes.

Well it very well could be. I don't know if you've ever seen redtide but it's absolutely creepy as heck, so if it was just a coincidence that it was happening during shooting then I'm sure they loved the timing. It's a great thing to add into the show.

Boating through it is pretty crummy also, leaves my boat with a reddish tint color

That season started slow but was far better than any of the walking dead before it. I enjoyed the last 3 episodes a lot! So theres going to be a third airplane show? Or is that just a short film for fun?
