This week, the\u00a0group buries Nick, but not before they dig up something else.\u00a0 Also, John Dorie gets some news on Laura that is pretty surprising.\u00a0 We also welcome Chris back to the group.\u00a0 All of this and more in this week’s blog.\u00a0 My name is Kent, and for Fear The Walking Dead, I only ask 5 questions and some final thoughts to make this blog a little more compact your reading pleasure.\u00a0 Any comments in\u00a0BOLD<\/strong> are written by me.\u00a0 I hope you enjoy and if you or someone you know may want to do this blog, contact me, leave a comment, whatever.\u00a0 The contact info is at the bottom of this blog.<\/p>\n

  1. \u00a0So do you think that Naomi is, in fact, Laura, John Dorie\u2019s missing woman?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

    Bob: \u00a0Yes, definitely.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Chris: \u00a0Yes. I loved the way they showed both of them unwrap the pistol the same way.\u00a0\u00a0(Yeah, it was a really nice touch!)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    Kent:\u00a0 Yeah, I normally try to come up with some wacky theory, but this time, I got nothing.\u00a0 I like how they did this.\u00a0 I keep telling people, this is the Fear The Walking Dead that I always wanted.\u00a0 This is good TV!<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \u00a0Will we find out where Luciana flipped to in the map?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \"\"<\/p>\n

      Bob: \u00a0Yeah, it was Texas. \u00a0Juuussst guessing!\u00a0\u00a0(I don’t know if a cowboy is going to do well in Texas.\u00a0 Now I wish the time jump didn’t happen so we could see Abe and possibly cowardly Eugene.)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

      Chris: \u00a0Yeah, I\u2019m sure we will. \u00a0Alexandria, Virginia. I heard it\u2019s where the cool kids hang out.\u00a0\u00a0(Welcome back Chris!\u00a0 Now for me to a jerk and point out that the book was of Southwest America.\u00a0 I get everything else wrong here, so I figured I may as well fact check that because I was like, well he’s probably right.)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

      Kent:\u00a0 Well, we have 2 very different possibilities.\u00a0 Bob seems more likely.\u00a0 I’ll tell you the local that I think would be fun though.\u00a0 Las Vegas.\u00a0 I don’t know how many readers ever played Fallout New Vegas, but we could have something like that.\u00a0 We now have a gunslinger.\u00a0 It could be super fun!\u00a0 Of course, that moves us further away from getting Madison back home to Georgia to try to reunite with her brother, Richard, better known as Rick, but I am getting ahead of myself.<\/span><\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

        \n
      1. \u00a0Do you think anybody from Madison\u2019s group survived aside from Alicia, Strand, Luciana, & Nick (who is now dead)?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

        Bob: \u00a0Yeah, I can even see the interpretation that anyone who defected or were enslaved are \u201cdead.\u201d\u00a0(I like that idea.\u00a0 I like that I don’t know.\u00a0 They haven’t given us much to work with and it’s delightful not knowing.)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

        Chris: \u00a0I think so. \u00a0I think Laura is alive.\u00a0 I can see her being alive only to be taken away at the end.\u00a0 (<\/strong>I think something bad happens to light a fire under John’s ass by the start of next season.)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

        Kent:\u00a0 This show likes to kill off huge groups of people in any given season.\u00a0 Sooooo, I’ll say Madison survived as a POW, but the group thinks that she is dead.\u00a0 I LOVED how they did the last 5-10 minutes of this episode too.\u00a0 The filming and directing of this episode were particularly brilliant.\u00a0 The new showrunners are doing great things.\u00a0 So kudos all around.<\/span><\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

          \n
        1. \u00a0Do you think that the baseball field is even secure anymore?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          \"\"<\/p>\n

          Bob: \u00a0It is not a secure facility, but things are going to…dry up.\u00a0\u00a0(No more alcohol.\u00a0 That is a bummer.\u00a0 Mel strikes me as a man who enjoys a few beers.)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

          Chris: \u00a0I think so. \u00a0It\u2019s hard to say. \u00a0They are all acting so gloomy while at the same time being as vague as humanly possible.\u00a0\u00a0(Yes, once again, they are doing a masterful job at giving us very little, if anything to work with.\u00a0 In a month, we can probably look back and notice tiny things, but things that we wouldn’t have been able to practically piece together.)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

          Kent:\u00a0 I’d say less secure than before.\u00a0 The doors\/ gates may not exist anymore and my best guess is that they are utilizing vehicles as barricades more than anything.\u00a0 They probably have a decent lookout system though.\u00a0 Aside from that, if they are vigilant in rounding up walkers and putting them in trailers, they realistically should be fine.\u00a0 They shouldn’t feel terribly threatened as they know that they have conquered so many square miles around though.<\/span><\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

            \n
          1. \u00a0Why do you think that Alicia, Strand, and Luciana want to go back and fight?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            \"\"<\/p>\n

            Bob: \u00a0Revenge. \u00a0Also, because the group that wants to take over may have altered their plans or strategy to expedite change.\u00a0\u00a0(I like that idea.)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

            Chris: \u00a0Right now it just seems to be straight up revenge.<\/span><\/p>\n

            Kent:\u00a0 Here is my moral dilemma.\u00a0 If I say anything aside from revenge, it goes against my belief that they don’t know Madison is still alive.\u00a0 I still think it is for more than revenge.\u00a0 I don’t think it is necessarily for Madison.\u00a0 I think it is for somebody or something though.\u00a0 Maybe even Charlie.\u00a0 Rest assured, in 2 weeks time, this is going to be one of those answers that I wish I could take back.<\/span><\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            Final Thoughts – 4 episodes in, is this the best storytelling that Fear has done in its 4 seasons?<\/span><\/p>\n\n

            Bob: \u00a0Oh my Gosh Yes. \u00a0BTW, I am 100% with the cowboy\/cop.\u00a0\u00a0–<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

            Chris: \u00a0This is easily the best Fear has been. \u00a0This is better than a lot of the original.<\/span><\/p>\n

            Kent:\u00a0 In my head, I keep waiting for this season to let me down.\u00a0 I was scared it would happen last week, so I actually put off watching by a day.\u00a0 Nope, it still kicked ass.\u00a0 I measure these shows by half seasons.\u00a0 Right now, I am hard pressed to think of any half season under the TWD label that had been this good and this compelling.\u00a0 Yes, we all really liked a lot of TWD’s season 3 and first half of season 4, but we also had to deal with stupid Andrea, Daryl leaving the group, Caroll getting kicked out of the group, the stupid plague in the prison. and other assorted nonsense.\u00a0 In all fairness, we got to hear a Tom Waits song (Hold On) and that great song when Governor captured Andrea called You Are The Wilderness which is still on all of my playlists.\u00a0 If we get to 2 more episodes of the same caliber as the first 4, I think we can crown a new champion or at least open up an analytical debate.<\/span><\/p>\n
