All I See Is Red

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.

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.

Seriously, how are these people employed?

This was the easiest episode to write of fear the walking dead ever.

After all that amazingly awful dialogue all season (and previous seasons too) all you had to do was have terminator Morgan decimate absolutely everyone for 40 minutes. With some good choreography and action scenes. Increase his body count again and gainand again dead or alive. Maybe that would have given his character a proper send-off until he meets Rick again.

But NOOOOoooo, have the same, not very bright, irritating Morgan on every scene and have terminator Morgan off screen. Writers should be ashamed for completely destroying the character of Morgan instead of having the Morgan that was against the saviors for just one episode.

Please fire them and publicly shame them. How they can make a fortune being so bad at what they do is beyond me. How are these writers paid for this??

Having all the expectations of a decisive mid-season episode, "All I See Is Red" manages to disappoint in almost everything, not because it fails to deliver what it promised, as it does deliver the end of an arc and the farewell of a character, but it does so in such a bad way that it becomes infuriating. In addition to the problems present in episode 3 that return with force here, such as PADRE becoming bunglers and being easily ambushed, as well as the exclusion of scenes that would be essential to understand how the conflicts occurred. An example is the scene where Daniel suddenly appears and surprises PADRE's soldiers, and the scene cuts to them opening fire and gaining control of the situation. However, when we return to this core, Daniel's group is subdued, and it is never shown how they lost that battle.

Another extremely negative point is that, as it is a mid-season episode, in theory, it should be epic and decisive. But the feeling while watching the episode is that many things were procrastinated, and when it got here, they had to solve everything and wrap up these plots in less than 50 minutes. In the end, what we had is a true Frankenstein of an episode. The entire aforementioned conflict between Daniel's group and PADRE's soldiers seems to have been filmed at the last minute and without a script, just to add action to the episode, as it lacks a comprehensible geography in these scenes. Besides, the whole initial sequence of Madison reuniting with Morgan and both going after the horde trapped in PADRE's containers seems very rushed, and the episode's confusing editing fails to explain what happened there.

The episode also tries to give Madison a role in this plot, but the impression given is that she is just lost and thrown in the middle of it all. The same must be said of Daniel and especially June, who appears very little in this episode, and all her scenes, except for the dialogue with Dwight, are completely thrown away and useless. As if it were not enough to just finish the PADRE plot, the episode also tries to conclude and give a purpose to that horde of zombies, a conclusion to this poorly developed plot about the cure, which here simply stopped working, and they did not even bother to explain why, besides inventing the conclusion of the arc involving Morgan and Mo. Unfortunately, the episode fails to conclude almost any of them acceptably.

In the end, the "big villains" of the season are laughable. Two young people who lost their father and created the most clumsy strategy after this trauma. Maya Eshet, who played Shrike in these episodes, tries to create an interesting villain, but the text is so poor and empty that it was not possible to do much. On the other hand, Daniel Rashid, who played Ben, is one of the worst actors who has ever been through these series, without charisma, with such a bad performance that when he needs to convey drama or impose himself, he becomes laughable. In general, we can say that this plot involving the new villains, despite being short, quickly became saturated, besides not containing good development or a good story, as PADRE is nothing more than everything we have seen before, but worse. The resolution of these villains is the same as their development: empty and unexciting.

Probably one of the few things well-worked in this season is the story of Dwight and Sherry, and it is really sad to remember how difficult and painful this couple's journey was. Going from problems and conflicts with Negan and the Saviors in The Walking Dead to all the conflicts here in Fear. And at the end of this episode, they have to deal with the loss of Finch, their son with whom they could never enjoy a real family relationship, and who, when they finally do, is infected and killed shortly after.

The scene where they bury Finch is sad and heavy, besides carrying a very strong dramatic weight. Much of this merit comes from the actors who dedicated themselves a lot to their characters, even more than this series deserves, surpassing the terrible script and making something out of nothing. As if all the pain and difficulty were not enough, in the end, the two cannot even stay together and separate to each follow their own path, even after all the work they had to reunite. Dwight and Sherry's journey is one of the saddest in The Walking Dead Universe, and they are certainly two of the characters who have suffered the most in this world.

At the end of this episode, we have what seems to be Morgan's farewell from Fear the Walking Dead, a character who took over the series' protagonist in the middle of the fourth season. The episode ends with a tone of farewell and prepares the character's return to Alexandria, which, let's face it, he should never have left. He leaves Madison and the entire group that was like a family to him for years and sets off with Mo, beginning his search for Rick Grimes. In the end, the episode sets up a possible reunion between the two, which would be a great fan service since the chemistry between the two characters was one of the highlights and focuses of the main series' 6th season. Morgan's final scene ends up being the best of the episode, as he once again revisits a place that was fundamental to his journey. This time in the region where he lived and buried Eastman, a character who was fundamental in his psychological restructuring, and also the same place where he decides to bury Grace. Just like at the end of episode 4, once again, Morgan says goodbye to his past.

The season, which was average until now, suffers a big overall drop with this disastrous episode. A season that promised to fix the mistakes of the previous one, but repeated many of them. The last hope is that the final episodes have good plots and can steer the series towards a minimally decent ending, since now, in this second part, we will have the return of Strand and Luciana, two of the series' veteran characters, in addition to the probable return of Troy. And it gives us to understand that these final episodes will focus on the veteran characters and that they may have a similar feel to the series' first phase, its best, for sure.

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.
