    Splitting a bullet?

    Really? That's Z Nation stuff without it being actually funny. Ah, and an overly complicated scheme by the kids just to know what they want? They already told you.

    Well directed and incredible episode with great character development and memorable moments with a well done crossover

    There haven't been a single bad episode yet and this is again a great episode which is directed by Colman Domingo who plays Victor Strand and he did a phenomenal job at this episode, having improved a lot since last season. The episode is full with emotion, good drama and character development, western vibes and amazing sets. The zombie kills with the Western Era guns was entertaining and a dream come true for me as a big western fan, even the silly but cool San Antonio Split which I understand people hate about but it was incredible in the way that it was intended, a nice zombie kill.

    The ensemble cast was great in this episode, focusing on Morgan's crew that is currently on the road trying to help the kids but John Dorie and June ultimately finds the crossover character Dwight in the western town that they have teased, three of the six of my favorite characters on Fear is together and the trio didn't disappoint, chemistry on screen and behind the scenes. Great reintroduction and it gave the character justice, giving him a bigger and personal role which can lead to some interesting and exciting character development which makes me look forward to what the showrunners has in store for the character. It was an incredible episode and overall stand-alone experience, similar to episode 4.01 and 4.05 as we follow almost only John Dorie and June but they mixed the other scenes perfectly with the episode, great editing.

    It was nice to see you DWIGHT

    My favorite event of this episode was definitely DWIGHT to be included in the series I think even in very good places TWD was a character. I think it will stay in this series for a long time because it is a remarkable character. but the scene in the car was really bad I didn't understand how the zombies couldn't get into the car with the rear window open. The episode was not good overall but I think you would come to good places player quality started to improve.

    Worst episode of the Fear series...

    Boring, lame and I thought I was watching a soap opera. How is anyone watching this show and giving it 8 stars? Oh and now we know how Garret made his cameo in the Deadwood movie. How is this series still on? Ever since getting rid of Kim Dickens' character the show has gone downhill. She was the reason I started watching in the first place and now well it's completely over for me. No more watching this crap of a show. Still can't believe how bad this episode was. Bad writing, worse directing and just all around awful. Good bye walking dead franchise. I hope you put all of us out of our misery soon and cancel both of these shows.

    Far Fetched Cowboy Gunslinger Action

    This episode is entertaining, it's the third episode into the season and they have all been good episodes! They must have fired last season's writers and replaced them with some good ones because they have essentially pulled this show out of the chess pool that it has been drowning in ever since they killed off the main characters!

    Splitting a bullet up the middle and each half of the bullet killing a zombie is ridiculously far fetched, but I don't really care if they make this show a little crazy like Z Nation! The majority of the plot has slowly moved forwards letting us know that the children are the ones behind the zombie borders and heads on spikes. Those evil kids are up to no good and are likely going to try to kill the group, but I am sure that they will screw it up and the group will somehow have to save their lives.

    I rate this episode 7/10 and it's worth the watch. I didn't care much for Dwight showing up only to spill his emotional guts all over the silver screen. Now that everyone is done crying over Dwights sad tragedy of a wife story and how he is chasing her, we move on to see the entire forest has zombies chained up everywhere, but they have to deal with these pesky kids before they do anything, and it's cleark some kin$ of trap.

      During some of the Humbug Gulch street scenes, the wind is strongly blowing through the street corridor around 11:56 and yet the flag is barely moving, making it clear that a wind machine is being used. The trees in the background are also not moving.
