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!

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.

Meet your new favorite character: Victor Strand. Strand is a sharply dressed, smooth talking fellow who is caged in the medical facility along with Doug and Nick and the other prisoners patients who don’t require immediate attention — or a bullet to the brain — from the staff. Strand amuses himself by yammering about insurance and “wolves coming to the door” (wrong show, friend) before assuring Doug that with a figure like hers, Mrs. Doug will do just fine without Doug in the zombie apocalypse. Upon hearing this, Doug freaks so hard he has to be taken away by the soldiers. Bye, Doug, bye.

“Not Fade Away”
September 22, 2015
It’s been 9 days since the National Guard has arrived and locked everyone inside a “safe zone,” and in those 200 some-odd hours, people have found ways to fill the time: Nick chills in the neighbor’s’ pool, Travis goes jogging, and Travis’ Dumb Teenage Son, Chris, climbs up onto the roof, turns on his video camera, and tapes the whole quarantine scene while waxing all high school junior poetic about it. As he turns his camera out into the world that lay outside the National Guard’s fencing, he catches a glint of light, seemingly being deliberately shone in his direction from a building in an area the military has assured everyone contains no signs of life. Huh. Continue reading “‘Fear the Walking Dead’: I have no idea what I’m doing”

OH HI, in fact I have not given up on Fear the Walking Dead, unlike a lot of its audience, I just was sooper busy with the new fall TV season. So let’s catch up, shall we? Last we left, our junkie friend had killed a drug dealer who then turned into a zombie, so he had to rekill him all over again; junkie’s mom and boyfriend were like, “wuhhhhh?”; and junkie’s sister was dumb and awful.

Meet Nick, the world’s healthiest-looking junkie. Nick wakes up in his usual spot, on a dirty pile of sleeping bag in an abandoned church, and finds that his girlfriend Gloria is missing. A noise from downstairs prompts him to investigate, and he heads downstairs, past walls smeared with graffiti and then … alarmingly … blood. And then there’s the screaming. And then there’s the man’s body with his throat torn out. Continue reading “‘Fear the Walking Dead’: Welcome to Zombieland, humanity. I hope you’ve been doing your cardio”
