Were we supposed to be in awe as the hipster led 12 zombies onto a truck with the use of a boombox and a bicycle?

Basically a hosed up version of YOU'RE WELCOME

i mean, i was impressed by the level of forethought and confidence it showed in z handling

they're not afraid of them, but they don't revere them like the people at the season 2 hacienda did

that little scene managed to eloquently demonstrate the vultures' way of doing things

Their plan is just making me laugh more the more I think about it. We're going to sit here and laugh at those suckers inside who are slowly starving to death and then we'll go in and take their crops wait what?

....crops? no, they're waiting for the people inside the diamond to die so they can take their guns and other supplies, nobody said anything about wanting to take nick's doomed harvest

are you just traumatized by how badly TWD has gone, or do you have legitimate issues with comprehending what you see and read?

i rewatched the last bit to check, between when nick goes down and when the clark crew huddles up around him, whether it's suggested alicia got a look at who shot him

doesn't seem like she got a good look

i was wondering whether we'd see her execute a child later on in the season

I loved his dad's actor though

He's always so tired, so done

oh all the Ottos gave great performances absolutely, though the good-ish brother was the weakest of the three by far

troy was a fascinating character, i'm just glad he died

EDIT: lol @ Nick and Lexa getting almost the same death

the only ways that comparison could get closer is if nick was accidentally shot by Strand or Daniel while they were aiming at Luciana for some reason

Madison Clark destroys nascent post-apoc civilizations out of a combination of fear, overreaction and possessiveness

Wanheda destroys because it comes as naturally to her as breathing

i honestly loved the fakeout of making it look like they were going to be overrun and forced to flee in the night, probably get separated

then dorie takes out both pistols and gets to work

that episode definitely gave the new writers some cred

i'm actually interested in where they're taking Morgan, now that they've more or less reverted his character to how he was before the savior war

Okay maybe they're not the Big Bad but you can't hold a siege while still allowing the people inside to leave and return with provisions!

laying siege to a fortified settlement is Savior poo poo, that's not what the Vultures do

Strand’s the same guy that cut a life raft off of his boat because they couldn’t (or he didn’t want to) spare the resources. You know he’s gonna hoard those grenades.

Hopefully it won’t be used for a blaze of glory suicide attack or something.

dorie's blaze of glory suicide attack, maybe, while strand looks on

Hard reboot, next episode it turns out Nick and Troy are just high as gently caress, hanging out in El Bazaar and eating those pieces of zombie brains to get hosed up.

Troy just can’t handle his drugs. :shrug:


Title change suggestion: Fear the Walking Dead: Beer Guy has the right idea

it's still incredible to me that they took everything the series had worked towards, when things were finally starting to open up and stretch with the bazaar/proctors/reina del agua story, and just flushed it down the toilet to give Morgan his own show
