We finally got Naomi\/Laura’s backstory at FEMA and her daughter Rose.\u00a0 That all pales in comparison to the ending with the standoff that resulted in John getting shot.\u00a0 Where do we go from here with only 2 episodes until the midseason finale?\u00a0 \u00a0My 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 ____________________________________________<\/p>\n Bob: \u00a0Of course!<\/span><\/p>\n Chris: \u00a0Yes. Any scene with John and Morgan is great! \u00a0<\/span>(Absolutely! \u00a0Those two have very good chemistry.)<\/b><\/p>\n Kent: \u00a0I love when Walking Dead gives us a different look at something for the opening scene. \u00a0Whether it be anew person, or just something that you may not see in the middle of an episode. \u00a0This is the sort of thing I enjoy. I still think my favorite opening may have been the one that showed how Bob Stuckey survived in like season 4 of TWD. \u00a0Loved that opening!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bob: \u00a0Yes<\/span><\/p>\n Chris: \u00a0Yes. I thought it was nicely done and kind of explained why she always runs. \u00a0<\/span>(It was something that we needed explained, and maybe any other season, we would have had a stupid, inane backstory that we would have to shrug off because it\u2019s the TWD universe. \u00a0This season though, there\u2019s something just so right in how they are dealing with things.)<\/b><\/p>\n Kent: \u00a0Yeah, quite satisfied. \u00a0We needed something different and we got it, and it made a ton of sense. \u00a0Walking Dead is at it\u2019s best when the story is reasonable. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bob: \u00a0It annoyed me but I see what the show is trying to do. \u00a0<\/span>(You\u2019re so negative Bob. \u00a0Why not subscribe to the power of positivity.)<\/b><\/p>\n Chris: \u00a0She\u2019s not quite sure the same as the beginning, but I think she\u2019s trying to avoid the reality. \u00a0The group won\u2019t make it at the stadium (I know we already know, but she doesn\u2019t know\u2026 in the past. \u00a0I mean, she obviously knows now. Is she even still alive???) <\/span>(Every week, I am more and more convinced that Madison is getting got this season. \u00a0Simultaneously, I feel like I am being totally played by the writers. In the end, I will be satisfied with either outcome. \u00a0That alone is quite refreshing.)<\/b><\/p>\n Kent: \u00a0I know that the show, and even more so, Talking Dead is pushing the narrative of Madison kinda undergoing a radical mindset evolution. \u00a0I\u2019m not sure if she really has. Just think about the very first episode and Madison\u2019s refusal to give up on people, especially her junkie son, Nick. \u00a0While we have seen her experience numerous things, I feel that out of any character, she has changed the least, which is saying something because Strand is very similar to the guy we first met. \u00a0I will say this, if my theory is that we are being played by the writers, I am wondering if this stand off with The Vultures actually breaks Madison mentally and emotionally and she gives up on herself and flees like Morgan did. \u00a0It\u2019s entirely possible. That would tie in a lot of things without killing off their main character of the franchise.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bob: \u00a0Hahaha, this was a great part but no it won\u2019t last. \u00a0<\/span>(You seem so confident in this. \u00a0I wonder why.)<\/b><\/p>\n Chris: \u00a0It\u2019s different, I think. \u00a0We don\u2019t know the circumstances behind it yet. \u00a0<\/span>(Yeah, it totally is. \u00a0She\u2019s just doing what she needs to do in the moment. \u00a0That is where the similarities between her and Eugene end.)<\/b><\/p>\n Kent: \u00a0No, this question in preposterous!!! \u00a0Eugene is on a whole other level compared to any character outside of the smart kid in season 1. \u00a0Eugene knows what he needs to say to get to the next 3 points that he has plotted out. Naomi is going point by point as it comes to her because she has such inner turmoil. \u00a0Eugene doesn\u2019t have all of that guilt residing inside of him. Plus, you gotta respect the hair game. When is Heath going to pop up in Fear?<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bob: \u00a0He had better not die. That is not greatness. \u00a0I am not Kentertained.<\/span><\/p>\n Chris: \u00a0If he dies before Tara\u2026\u2026\u2026 \u00a0<\/span>(Reading your statement actually angered me thinking about him dying before Tara. \u00a0Yes, I admittedly swore out loud to myself. Then I thought about this again after all of the fallout of contracts and such on TWD and I became sad.)<\/b><\/p>\n Kent: \u00a0I think with the new team, we won\u2019t be seeing the same mistakes being made. \u00a0That is one thing where TWD was always superior. They would add character and eliminate so constantly giving us new dynamics. Clearly the attitude and thought process has changed this season. \u00a0John ain\u2019t dying this season. I\u2019m not sure that John dies before the show ends. His death would probably get me to stop watching this show. They don\u2019t have enough strong characters to keep me invested. \u00a0Yes, I lost Abe and Carl in back to back seasons, but I always had a Eugene and a Negan and a Simon\u2026..ahhh hell he\u2019s dead too. Damnit. We still have a Jerry though!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Final Thoughts – Also, did this episode in general feel weaker than the rest of the season, or was it a must to set up the pieces for the final 2 episodes? Yup, we are just taking guesses here.<\/span><\/p>\n Bob: \u00a0JOHN LIVES!!! \u00a0LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!<\/span><\/p>\n Chris: \u00a0I was fine with this episode. \u00a0It\u2019s all leading up to an awesome ending. \u00a0Oh and like Bob said, JOHN LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!<\/span><\/p>\n Kent: \u00a0I guess our mantra for the past 2 weeks has been JOHN LIVES!!!!!!!! \u00a0That\u2019s cool with me. This wasn\u2019t a weak episode at all. It answered a lot of important things and gave us a cliffhanger. \u00a0Sometimes I toss the bait out to see if anyone will bite. Let\u2019s face it, this week has given us so many possibilities for the franchise. \u00a0With Rick and Maggie leaving, could Madison truly be Alpha? Could John end up on TWD to replace Rick and romance with Michonne? So many odd things can happen.<\/span><\/p>\n ____________________________________________<\/p>\n Please check us out at\u00a0Superkent’s 9 Deuce Blog on Facebook<\/a>\u00a0, on Twitter\u00a0@official9deuce<\/a>, or Instagram at\u00a0Official9Deuce<\/a>.\u00a0 Share this, like this, write us an email with a question at\u00a0kent@9deuce.tv<\/a>.\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n All the pictures used in this blog are for review purposes.
