The Hurt That Will Happen

This is the episode that finally made me give up the series.

I've been watching since season 1. Season 3 was especially excellent. Season 4 started taking a nose dive and it's now become unwatchable.

The writing has become absolutely terrible. It seems like it's being written by a high school drama club who think they're being artsy but it just falls flat. Everything is so "on the nose," including the dialogue.

Characters randomly appear whenever it's convenient. Radios go in and out when convenient. Just ridiculous cliches and troupes, one after another, after another.

The acting has gotten consistently worse, though I would say through no fault of their own. It really seems like the actors know how awful the writing is and they're forcing their lines out.

There's no real storyline other than the same Morgan nonsense over and over and over again. Killing bad. Must help everyone. Must make up for past. Find more people to preach the gospel to endlessly. It's the same thing we've been seeing since what, around season 4 of the main series? The beating of this dead horse has gotten beyond old.

The season premiere was bad but this might be the worst episode of the entire series. It's really a shame what they did to this show after how amazing it was a couple of seasons ago.

Fear the Walking Dead

Episode 5.02 (3.5 out of 5 stars).

The episode delivers another spine chilling journey with the characters in a new setting. Morgan and Alicia meet a new survivor that is committed to containing the undead that are radioactive from an exploded plant. Strand comes across a familiar face that nearly goes nowhere with this episode.

It does deliver another thrilling episode. The characters barely make progress with this episode. The story barely goes anywhere. Which is also one of the downside of this episode. It does get a little haunting with an injured Luciana walking outside the store after hearing strange noises. And comes across a horde of undead. Overall, still an entertaining series that is worth seeing through.

This season is becoming really annoying. The characters are getting dummer just pull the plug out the plug on this AMC it's a shame for the eyes.

Still on the fence but definitely on the suspicious side. Still enjoy watching John Dorie, Strand and Althea, maybe Morgan, but I'm pessimistic about investing energy into this cos you know what happened last time. We got elderly whoppie goldberg ridiculously reeking havoc. Not sure I care about the nuclear fall out story line. they've got bigger problems. move away. The head hunter angle could be interesting. and Maxheadroom could be interesting too. The optimal word being 'could'. The last 2 episodes have been shot and edited better than last season so that's good. The lines aren't terrible. so that's good, locations are good, ........ Will check in next week.

This episode moves along nicely with our heroes finding a new location and an interesting survivor and a returning character that they teased in the trailer, a great character from S1-3. The crew and cast delivered an episode filled with suspense, character development and great drama. I personally loved the slower pace of the episode as we the viewers got to see more of the nature, the overgrown style of it all which makes it so much easier to get immersed into the world and story that they have set up for us. The walkers was extremely good in this episode and the kills were some of the season's best, the director did an amazing job and I hope she will get another shot at it.

There were lots of great character moments, the new showrunners finally knows how to write for Luciana, these two episodes feels like the old her again the one we love. There were also some great acting in the episode: Alycia, Lennie, Colman and Danay were the ones that shined throughout the episode with their superb performances.
