The ending of this latest episode I watched really gave me that feeling, the first time Fear has actually. And I love that now we're back to a smaller core group. I always preferred that to having tons of background characters, I think that's one of the reasons the main show hasn't really gelled much for me since they settled in Alexandria (and actually I think the main group atm has too many members too).

..I also like the Mexico setting in FTWD, that water has become the currency there, I think is a good take and variation from the other show...what did you think of Travis’ death, Lostie...?...I was quite annoyed at first because he was only just becoming more interesting as a character...but I think he probably had to die for Madison’s character to develop more...

I was never particularly attached to Travis but yeah he was getting more interesting in the wake of Chris' death but I love that the show took out such a major character so early (not just early in the season but the episode too, didn't he die in the very first scene of the episode? ).

Ofelia's death was heartbreaking with her passing literally seconds before Daniel arrived. I've loved her story this season with her joining the Black Hat Reservation and the sort of surrogate father/daughter relationship with Walker. I was also rooting hard for her and Crazy Dog to get together dammit!

I do wish I didn't know about Travis, Jake and Ofelia dying in advance because they would have all been huge surprises but I have a bad habit of falling behind and then reading up on what I've missed Really looking forward to the final two episodes even though I know most of what happens

(I'm assuming it's safe for me to not use spoiler tags at this point )

..I hadn’t known about Ofelia, I hadn’t prepared for Ofelia, I just wasn’t ready for Ofelia, it was so hard to say goodbye to Ophelia ..not that it would ever be possible to be ready for such heart rendering sadness...but maybe I could have had more tissues at home.....it was just too, too cruel...


...I binged watched the last series at Christmas time and a friend was also binge watching at the same time...she texted me to say she’d seen some stuff on Twitter after Ofelia’s death with people tweeting...OMG, TAKE ME INSTEAD...THIS WORLD IS NOT SOMEWHERE I WANT TO BE ANYMORE!!!!!..SOB.......

Finished! The visuals for the dam collapse were really impressive! I enjoyed the whole season but those last 5 episodes were just brilliant

I hope Taqa and Wild Dog return next season.

..yeah we never did see the body and he’s a main character...so maybe he has survived..?...maybe there was a reason for not showing it...maybe he landed in TWD territory and one of the characters there will find him and return him to Madison and the Fear set...hmmmm....

Just got fully caught up on the current season

Spoiler:

Nick dying out of nowhere is genuinely one of the most shocking things from both shows. I had read that the last episode had a big death so was anticipating something but Madison's absence from the present day scenes (and Nick being angry over something) had me expecting it to be her. Very glad it wasn't though, I know some people hate her but I love her


Althea and John are great new additions Since Maggie Grace has always been Shannon from Lost to me, seeing her as a character who's so completely unlike Shannon is odd

Apparently the actor wanted to leave, very shocking.
Hope they haven't killed off Madison, I love her too. They haven't mentioned her in the now part

I love Althea and John and how John wants to be Morgan's bff

I don't think Madison is dead anymore. I think she's with Naomi somewhere, probably Strand's almost-boyfriend too


"John Dorie. Like the fish, but ie not y" a more bad ass intro than "Bond. James Bond"? He reminds me of a cowboy version of Eugene with how he talks. But much better than Eugene

And Naomi reminds me of Carol. I like her too.

I thought Carol after Naomi and John's ep too

also regarding your spoiler (still putting it in as poiler even tho 4A finished a month ago)

Spoiler:

at the fact Madison's dead. I appreciate they killed her off because they made her character unlikable (she was personally my fav) and they probs wanted to get people back like "hey everyone the woman you hated so much is GONE!!! COME WATCH OUR SHOW!!" but 4a proved she could be likeable if handled properly.

Also Nick's death was shock factor and no one can convince me otherwise. We didn't see ANYONE mourn him, his death did nothing imo

Just caught up with this and IMO, S4 was better than the main TWD has been for years (though I have been enjoying the recent series of that too, to be fair). I mean yes they basically killed off the entire cast and rebooted the show as a Morgan spin-off that happens to also have Alicia and Strand in it... but I'm still here for it. He's a better lead than Madison, and he's had more character development in one season of this than he got in several TWD seasons. .

When did they air S1? If it wasn't recent then I'd guess not, as we're coming up on season 5 now.

They took the rights to show it last year it was shown just before season 9 of the walking dead started so hopefully they will show the rest of the seasons soon

so since I finally decided to catch up on FTW

4B thoughts:
Spoiler:

I didn't remember June ever being with the Vultures, nor do I remember John's leg ever being injured, so I was confused for the entire setup of this half of the season. I also hated Charlie in 4A (probably because she killed Nick, but I wasn't too big on Nick anyway) but I really grown to like her in 4B! A very unique take on a 'villain turned hero', and a human one at that.

I love and love Alicia more and more by the day. While I wish Madison was still around, and was around for many more seasons to come, I think Alicia would've had have been the last one standing eventually (and I'm glad she is! I also hope that Madison's still alive... but wishful thinking)

Well done to FTWD for killing off two of the show's biggest characters and bringing it Wendell and Sarah - both interesting and welcome additions to the cast, IMO

I don't remember being too fond of Althea in 4A but I ADORE her in 4b? Dunno what made me like her more but I'm loving her

That part where the group comes back for Morgan... it reminds me of something, but I love it

Martha was good! We've not had a solo antagonist for... since ever, I think? Sure she wasn't too threatening but do 'bad' people need to be? I like that she was very human and hurting, and wasn't truly bad. That said, I'm glad she's dead and not redeemed

Overall, I found it definitely enjoyable. I was gonna have it on as background noise so I'd have an idea of events going into the important Season 5, but I found myself invested and watching it with full attention. I'm becoming more open to Morgan's inclusion, too; I was of the belief he should've gotten his own spin-off, but he just works in FTWD


S5 (first 3 eps)
Spoiler:

Firstly, where the **** did they find a plane

Secondly, the idea of radioactive walkers is so novel and something they can't really ever revisit, so I'm hoping we see more of them. I'd like to see the damage they could cause

Thirdly, those kids are annoying

Fourthly, how do they have such a surplus of supplies

Fifthly, Dwight's return is nice if not farfetched. Definitely looking forward to seeing him in the group

And finally... the crossover with TWD (no, not Dwight). I really like how the helicopter group is such a big thing and mystery, I hope they don't disappoint. I'm kinda hoping they're the catalyst to FTWD and TWD potentially merging (but given the massive timegap between the shows chronologically, I will always be wondering, "would Alicia's group become part of the helicopter group and defect six years down the line? Why? Would the helicopters still have fuel in six months time?". The crossover will amost definitely not happen but I wonder when and how they could end FTWD


All in all I'm liking FTWD again. Although, the showrunners said they almost made the group into a Saviors-esque group by S3's end. I'll always be curious as to how that'd have worked, since the group has become the opposite
