TV: Fear The Walking Dead

[Tuggy]

I actually liked the second to last episode. That scene with Travis and the two guys was the best of the series. Last episode was meh.

 

[The Moose]

I liked the final and got to say I think the show got better in the last couple of episodes. Perhaps I think so because they where heading out on the road again and that is always more fun then watching them sitting at a safe place episode after episode.
And sure Madison is not a method-actor but she is not that bad, is she?

Just watched the finale, was pretty good. The only loose end is Victor that stayed behind, the others are all meeting north. I wonder whether they are writing him off the show.

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

That finale was all kinds of terrible.

Going from Westworld to FTWD was offensive.

Kirkman confirmed on Talking Dead that Victor will be back next season, and that hotel will still be part of the show.

 

[Cor]

The final 3 episodes were pretty good IMO

Doesn't make up for a horrible series other than those 3 though.

But guess what!?! I'll still watch Season 3

 

[ap3x]

Chris being dead is reason enough for me to stick to the show.

 

[sa cyred]

Pretty good last episode. Really makes you want to come back to see who these guys are and watch going on. They made them look military but my guess is they arent

 

[Warden of the North]

The first half of the season was god awful. Wasting half a season on the boat was a terrible idea. It finished decently though, and killing off Chris was overdue.

Travis' revenge scene was really well done. Brutal, visceral violence.

 

[ap3x]

Travis' scene itself made him much more interesting, pushing his character development forward. Set up of the scene was doubtful though.
Madison looking in was really cringeworthy.

Travis...stop.

Please Travis, stop

Stop, Travis.

Please stop, Travis.

Travis.

Stop.

Please.

Please stop.

Travis stop.

Please.

Travis.

 

[tacogeoff]

Madison is terrible. she has to go early next season for me to even attempt it. Terrible actress in this series.

 

[ATypicalCanadian]

I'm actually gonna call BS on Chris being dead. Something seemed a bit off about it, but it might just be the way they did his death scene. I'm used to The Walking Dead having deaths be very sudden or with a clear hint it's happening.

I can't help but think the two other guys left Chris once he refused to go to the hotel or something and they followed the bro code and said Chris died or something weird.

 

[ap3x]

So, even when Travis beat them to death, they didn't come up with the truth? And why should they show the execution then?

He's dead.

 

[Bjorn Le]

Chris is absolutely dead. Also, I get why for the plot it makes more sense for him to die but I really wish it was Madison. Chris was becoming interesting while Madison is still so bad. I haven't hated a character this much since Skyler season 1-3 in Breaking Bad. And at least Skyler became slightly likeable in Season 4, I can't see Madison ever becoming like that. Alicia is pretty stupid too but at least she's pretty. And can be a decent actor when she wants to be.

Travis scene in first half was good. Second not so much. But I blame Madison again.

Pretty good last episode. Really makes you want to come back to see who these guys are and watch going on. They made them look military but my guess is they arent

My guess is they are. We could see a helicopter and who else will have access to them/pilots to fly them/fuel to fill them/mechanics to fix them. Its partially optimism because it's a route they should have taken all along but they need to explore the role of the military and government post-acopocalypse. They should still exist, even if it's in a Fallout Enclave style, amoral totalitarian state. I hope we get a taste of how they've dealt with the crisis, similar to Mt. Weather in the 100. But sadly it's probably still going to be TWD West Coast edition.

 

[clunk]

That finale actually.... wasn't horrible. So that's good.

 

[Mr Jiggyfly]

Rough crowd up in here.

That finale was way better than what the Walking Dead offered up.

Between Glenn going dumpster diving and Rick going for a stroll in the middle of the woods with a pregnant woman on a stretcher (what could go wrong?), Fear did a much better job.

Story was pushed along quite well. I never thought they would kill Chris off, at least like that, and Travis is now going all Shane, crazy Rick on us.

I have no idea why people dislike Madison so much, but people hated Carol forever also, so who knows.

 

[De Montreal]

Season 2A (before mid-season break, what happened on the boat basically) was pretty meh

First half of season 2B (this is getting complicated, but episode 8-9-10) was horrible, cringe-worthy and almost made me wish The Walking Dead universe didnt exist in the first place. Such a waste of a good concept.

Second half of season 2B (after Chris and Travis first met the three americans) is quite good.

We have yet to meet a decent villain in two seasons, but what happened at the end of season 2 might change that. I hope.

Anyway, I'll come back next june for season 3 because I like some characters, including Travis. He got too much hate for nothing since the series started.

I hope not. He is a good character, at least he started out as one but has since then only shown glimpses. But I think he will move north and join up with the rest somehow. Perhaps Salazar will link up with him and they together move north?

While I enjoyed the finale of FTWD, I won't go as far as saying it was was better than TWD's finale. Cliffhanger aside, TWD's finale was fantastic building up the tension to the climax... which then wasn't shown. That's a different story though. The episode itself was fantastic.

Cliffhanger didnt bother me at all. I liked it! That being said I 100% agree about TWD finale. To me the finale of season 6 was the best episode of the series. The suspense was like nothing else they've ever done. Just hoping they can continue it.

I think TWD finale's tension was built around us knowing someone important was going to get rubbed out, moreso than any kind of quality writing in that episode.

It really just seemed kind of silly when you think about it.

Negan's crew just happened to know where Rick was going and had all of this manpower to waste on this elaborate plan?

Then Rick decides to get out of the RV and run around through a forest with a sick pregnant woman on a stretcher?

FTWD IMHO had a way better finale that seemed way more realistic. No silly build up to Chris's death.

Just boom, gone.

Travis going off and the repercussions were also well done as well.

Nick being realistic and saying we gotta get the hell out of Dodge, instead of them staying and winning some improbable battle agt a heavily armed gang was also quality writing. That's what most people would have likely done in that situation.

Nothing insulting our intelligence like TWD finale.... again.

I agree with the above.

I must admit the whole scene with Negan was really cool. The tension, the buildup, the fear was very well done. But other then that moment, the rest was pretty far fetched. FTWD so far has been an inferior show but the most recent finale was much more realistic and quite honestly, not that bad. Yes Madison is annoying but you need that.

That was exactly it, Negan even says "I've gone through a lot of trouble to set this up" to them. It was his show of power and theatrics to show just how outmatched Rick and Co are. You can also knock Rick's decision all you want, but what was the other alternative? They're outmanned, outgunned, and have to get Maggie to Hilltop. I think you're being a little too harsh on how that played out personally.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Keep in mind that Rick's group and The Saviors were crossing paths and were actually pretty close to each other. They knew Negan's group would raid Alexandria soon so Rick and co. decided to take the first shot, but clearly they had no idea how out-manned they were.
