![]() ![]() Finally two groups of bad guys emerge - Marco's thugs and the American pricks Chris goes off with - and these enemies are dealt with rapidly and in short order. How to get everyone to get along in the hotel how to make it work in the Colonia. There haven't been clear and distinct "villains" really so much as little problems that need to be solved. The back half of season two has been a bit different. And we had the Celia cult, with its weird zombie worship, and that, too, was all resolved in just a couple episodes. We have the pirates and their leader, who are vanquished so suddenly, you could blink and not even notice they were there. In the first half of season two we had a series of "micro-conflicts." We had the family on the island that our survivors accidentally bring ruin down upon. That was the second big conflict, and it was resolved when everything went FUBAR and the survivors escaped. ![]() ![]() It was resolved by jumping forward in time a few weeks and introducing the army quarantine. In the first season, we had the initial outbreak. It introduces a threat or a villain and then it resolves the predicament almost right away, without any sort of real fight. This is another thing Fear the Walking Dead keeps on doing over and over again. He'll hide out, and when the bad guys come to take over the Colonia, he'll drive the bus away from the gate and let the zombies in.Īpparently there is no other way out at all, and fully grown men can't climb over fences or buildings, and the zombies are much more difficult to kill getting out than in, because while Marco and friends have no trouble getting into the Colonia, this rather clumsy trap ends up killing them all, snuffing out the latest big threat before it even got interesting. This show has a way of slowly ruining its characters.įaith is all well and good, and I understand why Luciana wants Alejandro to pretend he's okay for the people. Luciana seemed tough and brave and interesting at first after tonight she just irritates me. That's Luciana's big dumb argument, that if they just have faith they can withstand the thugs' assault which is so ridiculous I wanted to yell at her through the TV. Nick isn't having it, and reminds Alejandro that he's actually been lying to save his own skin. In any case, Alejandro is forced to admit the truth to Luciana. Nick kills this zombie by digging his thumbs into its eyes, because there's no risk of infection or anything like that in Fear the Walking Dead. You can literally kiss zombies and eat zombified dog meat and rub yourself with zombie guts and you'll never ever get infected. It bites off another woman's finger, and why they don't immediately amputate to try to save her, instead of casting her out to the dead, is beyond me. The creature even bites off one dude's nose, which is pretty gross. Instead we get what we almost always get from this show: Half-baked dialogue filled with half-baked arguments that don't hold up to 10 seconds of scrutiny.įortunately, Alejandro is bitten by a zombie that goes totally crazy and takes out three people. It's all preposterous, and could have been handled much better - Luciana, for instance, could have argued that it wasn't possible to move the young and elderly and sick, and she needed to stay and put up a final stand. Luciana says some stuff about how for almost everybody in the "Colonia" this is their first real home ever. Because, you know, in Mexico everybody is poor and they don't have homes or communities or something. Of course, Alejandro is stubborn and Luciana is.baffling.so nobody wants to go. Without a viable defense strategy, this seems like a no-brainer. Nick spends much of the finale trying to convince everyone to leave since Marco's gang knows where they are and are coming to kill them. I'm guessing they know one another but aren't cut from the same cloth. In any case, the big question is whether Callie's character is linked to the crazy gun nuts that ambush Nick and his crew at the end of the finale. If a character is important enough to get their own sub-plot (like Nick) shouldn't they at least get to do a few things, like have a conversation? Ofelia's plot this second half of the season has been weird because she's had basically her own story line and it's consisted of almost nothing. What he does do with her remains a mystery, since this is the last we see of either character unfortunately. He doesn't say much, but at least he doesn't gun Ofelia down. Okay, kidding aside, it's an unknown gunman played by Dayton Callie of Deadwood and Sons of Anarchy fame. ![]()
