It was OK lol
If you're still watching this in season 8 you have made peace with the writing being astonishingly terrible. Bad in a surreal, disorienting way. Bad like a B movie that you laugh at/with for an hour. I judge the show thru a curve: by how poor it is relative to the other episodes in show's history. And it's not the worst Fear The Walking Dead episode.
And yes it's bad. How is an old de-conditioned sick Madison able to swing an axe like Thor and drop two grown men? It's hysterical how certain death is always curtailed by the sudden miraculously timed appearance of an established character. Why tell her you're her mom and dad just to tell her later "we're not your mom and dad." I don't like kid actors because they are usually poor at acting. Not many Bella Ramseys in the world. The girl who plays Wren gives an earnest but flat and contrived performance.
It's the last season. I've decided to appreciate this show as something to put on in the background and spend some final moments with this bonkers world and these lackluster, ridiculous but enduring characters.
