Absolutely incredible. Animation, pacing, music, that flashback compilation... cannot wait for the rest of this arc
I like episodes with the focus on a random side character every so often
So good to be back. Pretty good episode too, got a feeling it's only going to explode from here on out
This guy's fiance was 16 years old?
Best part is Trey going hard on the Cheesy Poofs song. One of my favorite things about the show is when he does that super over the top voice
Pretty strange bringing in Finn being colorblind halfway through the show just for a minor joke/plot device… Wonder if it’s something that’ll become a bigger issue later or if it will never get mentioned again. This show usually remembers things like that though
What exactly was the point of the bugs?
That Daryl f-bomb was fantastic
They just left that poor guy in prison…
Maybe I'm biased having just caught up to Fear, but I actually enjoyed this one. So much better than pure filler episodes like Carol chasing a mouse or bottle episodes where we see one actor for 45 minutes. Plus it's pretty interesting seeing the different roles all of the crew have ended up in, as I'm sure that won't last long.
No way the zombie virus is still in here after all this time... It's been like 3 or more months since the bombs dropped/since she got bit right? She's likely just sick from something else and the writers are doing a tease. Hopefully the second half is as much of a banger as they're hinting it could be.
I cannot stand Al… And I’m getting sick of the main characters overcoming being at the other end of a fun over and over and over again. Just such an obnoxious trope that they feel the need to keep forcing into the story.
I felt so bad for BMO for a hot sec there
Two of the strangest episodes yet back to back
Why was Rachel alone in the first place…?
Alicia is great. But I don't understand why she wouldn't just take Cole up on his offer to kill Teddy and go with them, if the alternative is her dying. Sure she wanted to stay with him and figure out what they were planning, but if they were going to die anyway, why wouldn't she choose life and at least take out the leader? They all survived only because walkers showed up at the right time to distract the stadium people.
I'm usually a big fan of reality-altering episodes, like what they did with Tyreese's death or Michonne tripping in TWD, but this one just felt off to me. Wasn't my least favorite episode my any means though. Most frustrating part to me honestly was Riley and his goons; they've clearly been searching for Morgan, so why would they not come with guns from the start? Plot convenience is the answer, and it's also the answer to why Riley didn't just shoot them both upon his return even though Morgan had just killed all of his goons AND stabbed Riley himself in the arm/shoulder. This guy was literally just about to kill four of this group in the previous episode, and his group has clearly killed a lot more from their other attacks, so it's just incredibly not believable that he'd leave them to survive. Only reason I'd maybe give it a pass for is if we find out that they struck some deal with Alicia and they promised they'd try not to kill any of her people, but I don't really have faith in these writers to think that far ahead/that in depth about something that most fans will just forget about the next episode anyway.
Good episode aside from the silliness of Alicia not escaping with them even though she was right there, and the embalming guy just walking up to her unarmed when he knew very well what types of weapons were in his own room. But I’ve watched more than enough Walking Dead to know how to suspend disbelief with these things. I don’t know why the writers still can’t find better ways to get characters where they want to get them but that’ll never change with this franchise. :man_shrugging:
I've thought for a while that June's actress/the way they portray the character kinda looks like Carol from TWD... Looks like they might be going down that route now in terms of actions too
“Morgan Jones is dead. You’re dealing with someone else now.” That one line got me more excited for this show than I’ve been since I started watching it two months back. It’s had some good parts but nothing has excited me more than seeing a ruthless Morgan return and finally move away from the pacifist nonsense. I get it, but it just made things more boring.
Hoping the rest of the season stays enjoyable. I’ve been watching the original Walking Dead since Season 3 was airing so I’m very comfortable with suspending some disbelief and weird decisions to enjoy the show for what it is, but the last two season of Fear were largely slow. Looks like that might change here, finally.
Time to rewatch given the recent news...
