![]() Madison and Travis need to start changing because they're just the worst sort of survivors, totally sure of themselves while totally in denial of this brave new world. My biggest complaints remain the two lead characters. That's one of the biggest problems of The Walking Dead, where our characters languish over-long in location after location, from farms to prisons to walled-in settlements. They're on a boat, after all-or a ship, rather-and there's "no safe harbor" as the season's slogan reminds us, which means they'll never be able to lay anchor for long. I also like that this means our heroes will be on the move going forward, at least for a while. I think it's really a nice change to see our survivors out at sea, navigating a whole new set of conflicts, like sea zombies and pirates. This season getting off to a good start makes me hopeful for the rest of the season. That's important, since the first season of the show was kind of a huge disaster. Madison drives me crazy, and I'm still waiting for Travis to lose the nice guy/please everybody routine and just man up for the apocalypse, but overall this was a pretty good premiere to the Walking Dead spin-off. I actually enjoyed this episode quite a bit. (Tobias was smart in Season 1, but we never saw him again.)Īnyways, with nobody but zombies found in the dark waters, and pirates suddenly on the radar, the crew of survivors rushes to escape.and credits roll. I guess his street smarts are paying off. Only Daniel Salazar (Ruben Blades) and Strand are as savvy as Nick. On the other hand, he's consistently shown to be one of the smartest, bravest, and most intuitive characters on the show, putting both Madison and Travis to shame over and over again. He's a junkie, and with that addiction comes a very real level of selfishness and self-destructiveness. Aquatic zombies (this show has aquatic zombies and pirates!) drift along the waves, but Nick (Frank Dillane) thinks he hears someone trapped in the wreck and goes swimming to get them, through zombie-infested waters.Ĭan you hear the screaming eels, Clarice? In the meantime, they find the detritus of some kind of serious wreck, riddled with bullet holes. ![]() So Alicia screws up and, out of kindness, leads the pirates to Abigail. This makes me more excited about Fear than I have been, pretty much ever. ![]() Yes, there are pirates in Fear the Walking Dead, the seafaring counterparts to The Walking Dead's various evil groups, like the Saviors. I'm more forgiving of the teenage Alicia (Alycia Debnam-Carey,) Madison's daughter, even though she makes the biggest mistake of the episode when she naively reveals their location to pirates.
