I wouldnt waste your time. I tried, I think I watched 4 of the 6 episodes.
If you remember life when The Walking Dead started, I barely do, but I'm assured that there was such a thing, then you remember the hard seasons, the seasons where they didnt 'get it.'
They didnt slaughter walkers with reckless abandon or understand how things really were. And you hated them for it. They were weak!
Thats pretty much Fear the Walking Dead. All of it. Maybe it will get better. I hope that if it, as a series, fizzles out that they end it by having all the characters be gruesomely devoured by the dead and then show up in the Walking Dead so that we can watch Rick and Daryl slaughter them again.
Now that would be good times.
Humm that's disappointing,
I'd rather see them be the ones that ended up in Hershel's barn ahah!

Jesse pressed all my pre-programmed buttons, so it's difficult to see her go...especially as a result of that little twat. However, they really rebounded with some amazing badassery.

What a great episode. Everything that makes TWD great. Loved seeing Sam become zombie food, that kid was too weak and annoying. Though it's too bad that Jessie had to go too. Michone skewering Ron was a great moment even if it led to Carl getting shot in the eye. Can't wait to see where they go from here.
Decent episode, but
#1, I've been saying for many episodes that they should have just burned them in the quarry. This annoys me now that they just burned them in the town.
#2, They have just made Glen invincible. He was clearly done for there, again. What, 3 episodes later? I thought that was a bit of a weak and unnecessary moment. We just went through it. That being said, maybe Glen is done for this season. Third time's charm? Calling it. Glen is a goner. And WTF Maggie? Suddenly a damsel in distress? Couldn't even step off the platform onto the wall catwalk on her own? Then fires 1 shot? Ugh. Out of character for her.
#3, Was nice to see that family go though. Other than the mom, they sucked.
#4, Also good to have some characters finally recognize they could step up, will be good to move past the Gabriel/Eugene/OMG please Morgan get over it too.

Kinda of a 'meh' for me. I think I finally might be able to make a decision on this show. Especially when the preview for next week seems like a filler episode coming up.
Though I did actually say 'good!' aloud when the kid died, heheh.
But so much of the episode didn't make sense. I know, I know, 'you're looking for sense in a zombie show?'
I'll admit, I had the Carl eye thing spoiled for me a while back, (in a sense I wouldn't have been surprised if it didn't happen, as I guess the show isn't THAT close to the comics, but knowing it, spoiled the reveal for me) so maybe it didn't have the impact on me it should have, but the whole episode seemed kinda scattered.
The whole first scene had no point other than to tease Negan's name. Which I guess means something for the comic book readers. But it was so pointless. Why would they get out of the truck in the first place? How did Daryl kill the guy so quietly? And the lead biker? Oh I'll kill you, naw I won't kill you, yeah I'll kill you... was that supposed to increase the tension? Just had me bored.
More characters talking about change. Oh, you need to change... you can't change... I'll help you change... I guess I can change...! Blah blah blah. Maybe it was interesting the few dozen times, but if we have to put up with this for every new character that doesn't die...
Glenn survives again. I gotta agree with Fuzz, seems like it's building to something.
But most annoyingly, and they started this thought a bit last year...
What's up with fire and it being a magic weapon against zombies?! Ok, I get that it's bright and noisy and that bright and noisy attracts them, fine.
But if they march right into the fire, wouldn't have someone figured out by now that this is a handy way to dispose of zombies? Not only attracts them, but has them commit suicide? Why not just have settlements with fire pits around the perimeter?
I'm pretty sure the military would have figured this out while fighting zombies. Not only that, but they have a lot of things that can create fire.
And on that note, wasn't there a flashback in season two or something where Shane and Lori watched the military light up Atlanta? At that point it was assumed to be largely ineffective (as it has been in other zombie or post-apocalyptic movies). But if this little lake fire was so effective, I'm pretty sure napalm or whatever it was woulda been fairly useful.
Also, I'm pretty sure we've seen scenes where there was carnage everywhere, with open fires, and fire didn't seem to be that effective before. The zombies didn't up and leave the attack to go immolate themselves.
There's just so many continuity problems in this show.

You nailed every point for me, but left out lighting the fire pond using an rpg. That seemed a smidge wasteful.
