Iron Tiger

Madison is back and angry as ever. Last episode I was angry at Anton/Victor, lol. This episode the tables have turned. The main characters in this series Fear The Walking Dead have no redeeming qualities. They're driven by self, it seems. Especially Victor. The writer's seem to push that narrative on all fronts, it showed in this episode with Madison when she found about what happened to her son and Charlie. Do Madison and Victor ever stop thinking about themselves? And put whats best for everyone first? These two characters need to do some long hard soul searching. Rick Grimes thought of everyone.

It's like the showrunners were rolling dice on descision the characters would make in this episode. Absolutely bizar. I saw someone in their review talk about the fact that it ''doesn't feel real''. It's just flat out bizar, so nothing surprising on that front. They threw allot of old names into the script to crank up some nostlagia, which came off extremely cheap. The plot was really thin, and fell flat. There's absololutely no way of predicting what you're going to wittnes from one episode to the next in the worst sense.

I Recently saw an interview of the FEAR cast in SDCC(2017). Where it once again got annoucned that the showrunner was going to be leaving the show... God damn it, have Andrew Chambliss and Ian Goldberg driven this ship into the ground.

I honestly believe that even the actors are aware of how bad this is and they too are trolling the writers by doing awful acting on purpose. That's the only logical explanation.

So Kim Dickens is either trolling everyone or she's just a terrible actress. I mean honestly, her performances this season have demonstrated some of the worst acting I've ever seen. And she's not the only one. I know that the actors are given some of the worst dialogs that's ever existed on TV but surely, they can do better than this. I've literally seen NPCs with better acting than this.

This season of FTWD has undoubtedly contained the worst TV I have ever seen. I've seen a lot of stuff, and more importantly, I've seen a lot of bad stuff, but I genuinely cannot think of anything I've seen that has come anywhere close to being this bad.

This show is not made for intelligent adults. Hell, it's not made for any adults. It's basically made for people without an ounce of brain. Cuz that's how the writers treat you. If you actually enjoy this show and think it's good, you need help.

Kim Dickens (Madison) is just plain bad. In the beginning, and not being someone who was ever involved in "theater", I thought maybe it was bad writing or bad directing, but, while I think that's true, Kim Dickens is just awful. I cannot grasp how Madison thinks she's in charge everywhere she goes. Worse, the rest of the cast, thanks to the bad writing, defer to her pretty much every time she says yet another stupid thing. We all knew as soon as she turned up in that hotel where people have survived/thrived for 10 years, all of it was going to go up in smoke. Daniel and Luciana finally speak truth to her that she needed to hear long ago although I was just happy we didn't have to suffer her character for the last couple seasons. My nickel wager is that the bad writing will continue and Daniel and Luciana will return to rally under Madisons banner for some reason. I hope not, but this show is insanely predictable once you see it.

All of the gun pointing throughout ongoing dialogue is exhausting as well.

(I also wrote this review for episode 7, but it fits here)

I was so surprised at how much I was enjoying these first two episodes at first, then I realized that they're basically picking up from where season 3 ended with these last six episodes. So many reunions are happening for the first time since the dam: Madison and Strand (the big one), everyone and Troy, etc. And the focus has primarily been on the show's original characters.

I began watching season 4 when it aired and got tired of it very quickly. I've seen a few episodes here and there but if you dropped the show after season 3, this is a great place to jump in. The atmosphere is the most vibrant since season 3 and the writing is surprisingly sharp, if still not perfect. Excited to see how it ends!
