Fear the Walking Dead
“North”
October 2, 2016
Having killed Awful Chris and turned Travis into an unrepentant murderer, this show has to lighten up a little bit, right? Maybe give us something resembling hope that things might get a little better for our protagonists, right? RIGHT?
Hahahaha, nope. It’s almost as if I haven’t seen every single episode of The Walking Dead or something!

“Date of Death”
September 25, 2016
As predicted, after Madison lost her fool brain and turned on the hotel lights, people began arriving looking for safety and some ice. As the hotel guests tell the newcomers that they can’t let them in — lo siento no lo siento — who should show up but Travis looking worse for wear. And very much alone.

Let’s start with Señorita: turns out she did steal the truck and left her amigos back at the hotel with no means to leave. Thanks, pal! Continue reading “‘Fear the Walking Dead’: Tower of terror”

Nick is a couple of things: he’s a former junkie, he’s clever and he’s very much in needing of a comb, maybe a nice shower. Well, ok, so he’s a few things. COMB YOUR HAIR, NICK, GOD.

“Do Not Disturb”
September 4, 2016
Let me start by saying that I literally had no idea when I titled the last entry “Do Not Disturb,” that this would be this episode’s title. No idea! I must be psychic! Orrrrrrrrrrr “Do Not Disturb” is just a painfully obvious title for a story taking place in a hotel. Who can say?

So we know what happend to Nick after he decided to leave La Hacienda del Muerte: he embarked on a hero’s journey, found a new home. But what about his mom, sister, jail pal and possible love interest? Where’d they go?
¡Hola, amigos! So, here’s the thing. The thing is, I never got around to blogging the finale episode of Fear the Walking Dead on Tubular thanks to the all-consuming nature of blogging Game the Thrones. “Oh, I’ll have time before it premieres,” I said. “I’ll post something the week before it return,” I said. “It’ll be fine,” I said.

“Sicut Cervus”
May 15, 2016
Oh how sweet: we’re in a small church somewhere in Mexico where a parish is still celebrating Mass. It’s nice to see some people stick with tradition and faith and find hope in face of horror and death. Yes, yes, the priest had been worried that God had abandoned from them, but now he knows that they are being tested, that the evil that has befallen them wants them to turn away from Him. It feeds on doubt, and they must not feed it. Instead, they must fight. The parishioners take their communion, and then promptly march outside and grab a weapon from an alarmingly large pile.

“Captive”
May 8, 2016
Oy, this episode. After two fun, engaging episodes that moved the story along in interesting and unexpected ways, we get this one. It’s not that this episode was bad, exactly, it wasn’t. But compared to the rest of this season, it felt slow and plodding, a workabout episode, intended to get us from Point A to Point Alex and Jack Become Our Protagonists’ Biggest Enemies. (Which is totally going to happen, and I, for one, can’t wait.)
But until then: Continue reading “‘Fear the Walking Dead’: Shipshape”
