I'd love to hear your thoughts, so please hit me up on Twitter or Facebook.

I'm a little surprised at the sudden drop in quality here, but maybe it's just an outlier.

In any case, I'm crossing my fingers that next week will be better. I think there's just as much evidence that people want to work together to survive as there is that people wage war at every opportunity. I just don't believe that the default state of nature is truly brutish. Zombies are a massive threat, as is resource scarcity. Speaking of which, why do groups like the Vultures and Saviors insist on domination rather than collaboration? The human species is hugely weakened at the moment.Get away from these evil people and find a better place. Why not just leave? Go somewhere else and start over. It's what I've been saying about The Walking Dead since the end of Season 6. I actually really did like the realization that Strand, Alicia and Luciana all come to: 'We should have just left,' they tell Althea.I'm still trying to figure them out, but at least they're more interesting than the vague Saviors and at least there's no Negan hip-swaying. They're a weird tribe of bandit-hipsters.

I like the Vultures more than the Saviors.Instead we got Strand, Alicia and Luciana staring into Althea's camera looking Very Dramatic.įrank Dillane as Nick Clark, Danay Garcia as Luciana Credit: AMC I also assume that had they tried to talk Madison into leaving she would have stubbornly refused regardless, making their Big Regret all the more laughable. I assume there were other days when they all decided not to run away also, not just this one. So it was actually just The One Day That Nothing Happened. It was a day when they went out scavenging and Strand decided not to run away (we didn't know he was planning this until this episode so it's hardly a big revelation) and Naomi didn't run away (and she's a character we barely know so who cares?) and Nick and Luciana decided to go scavenge for seeds to grow new crops instead of running away (though there was no indication that either of them would just abandon Madison and Alicia like that, leaving them to a terrible fate.) The One Day That Changed Everything wasn't actually that at all, by the way. Kim Dickens as Madison Clark, Frank Dillane as Nick Clark, Danay Garcia as Luciana Credit: AMC Certainly next week's episode, which fleshes out John and Naomi's backstory, looks interesting. I hold out hope that the rest of Season 4 is better. Maybe Frank Dillane was right to jump ship-if this episode is an indication of the episodes to come. I'll be brutally honest here: This was amateur hour at Fear The Walking Dead. Some of the worst writing in two seasons. We already had a split timeline, after all, we certainly didn't need them to structure it in flashbacks that these characters are apparently telling Althea while they drive right after Nick died. It feels forced and contrived rather than cool and interesting. They've taken something interesting-Althea's documentary work-and turned it into a way to split the timelines. The stories these characters ought to be telling are the stories of how they came to be there, not The One Day That Changed Everything. It involves the apocalypse hitting LA, escaping on the yacht, finding his lover in Mexico and losing him, the events at the dam and his various betrayals. Colman Domingo as Victor Strand Credit: AMC
