All I See Is Red

Andrew & Ian are finally gone, I can't believe this, no one will miss you guys, you guys did a terrible job and you destroyed fear, losers, cya.

Let's be honest this episode sucked.

I'm glad Morgan is finally gone, and I think his farewell was perfect for his character.

I'll miss Lennie James, but I'm glad Kim Dickens can finally be the lead again, this is her show.

We thank you Lennie for your work on the show, I know a lot of us don't like Morgan, but I truly appreciate you and what you've done for the fear fans.

Okay back to the episode, yeah it's garbage, insanely boring, PADRE was proved to just be a waste of time.

The post credit scene is insane though, I think the final 6 episodes of the show could be truly special.

The first half of this season has definitely had its ups and downs, but in my opinion it closed it out strong with back to back solid and emotional episodes with 4 and 5, and now this episode which gave me the feeling of watching some of the older episodes of The Walking Dead. Lennie James I think may have given his best performance as Morgan. It wasn't perfect and definitely still had some moments that weigh it down a bit, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I am very thankful however to be done with the whole Padre plot. I think it was utterly ridiculous and could never get behind the 2 siblings as being these fearsome enemies. I am however a bit intrigued with the direction they are taking it now for the second half of this season. My favorite part of this episode was the closing moments that set up a big reunion and had Morgan reflect on his past that overall just got me very excited for the future. If Fear can capture what worked over these last couple of episodes, I think we could be in for a very promising second half and finish to this show.

I don't know why some people are hating on this, if you watched twd and fear, which why else would you be here. This episode is a pinnacle in the series it is like a full circle moment and I cannot wait to see what happens next. With luck they will connect everything together and everyone will be happy again.

There might be some ups and downs throughout this season, even this show but let me tell you this.

This universe and the people who are in it are so great and they make you feel it too. I have watched these characters since I was a child and I would highly recommend anyone to hop on board too.

This is the begining of the end for fear, but not for the universe as a whole so let's bide our time and wait it out and see what happens.

I'll put it out there, I appreciate the Walking Dead family taking the time and effort to close out storylines for beloved characters that we literally grew up with. Silent claps like we're at a poetry reading with SDH.

And thank you, for returning to serial episodes and linear storytelling. Following one or two characters per episode and having to wait weeks for the other characters was NOT the business.

But really, this final season is like radiation therapy for a zombie bite, no one should feel this pain trying to delay the inevitable. Why couldn't they leave it with Alicia's vague departure and finally finding PADRE?

(TLDR; RANT)

If you need to do a time jump, it means you want to reset the status quo, but not a blank slate, it just gives the audience the call to adventure--like--ooh, what happened? And the transition from the past to present always haunts them or there would be no story. Okay...so...

YES, the past should haunt characters who do a complete 180 of story arcs and personalities they spent 7 seasons building. This was the FTWD family, they don't abandon anybody, no matter what... But somehow Palpatine returned--nix that--they abandoned their children to a low-level indecisive villainess. WHAT?!

And I thought this was The Walking Dead, where even beloved characters are not safe, everyone is always at risk. Unless they need a break but now it's crunch time for ratings, then there's super plot armor, ghosts return from the dead. Hey I got an idea, the next show, let's go with.....

RETURN TO THE WALKING DEAD.

The dead rise again, not Walking Dead dead but like Jesus dead. Or we should go with time-loops, that genre is sort of like the new zombie. It's still got traction.

Don't mind me, I'm just skipping along, cringe-watching every new episode, taking notes on how to survive bad parents in the nuclear apocalypse during the zombie apocalypse.

The writing for the show has gotten terrible. The acting has been bad as well. The flashing red scenes, come off as red lazy. It would have been better actually seeing Morgan fighting, instead dumb flashbacks that you can't make out. It's like they're just trying to rush this along. I can't imagine this going another season. At this point I'm not enjoying the show, but I do want to see it wrapped up. Morgan is an awesome character, but they've over dramatized him and are trying to keep all the other characters on the same level. The show has lost it dept. They also shorted Dwight's character as well.
