Decision-Making

Looks like "This Land Is Your Land" episode is more likely to be called "It's Your Turn Alicia." It was the most difficult decision making in a apocalyptic war in FEAR THE WALKING DEAD when the "bitten" will have to be counted and come forward to be put to sleep. In this episode, the task at hand relied on the hands of a young Alicia who seems the be the moral compass in a group of almost tormented, relentless, agitated group of survivors. Do you think what she did to save the lives of the remaining few survivors will be alive in the next few hours before they passed out from not having fresh air because turned out Ofelia and Justin (who crawled through the vent tunnel) had discovered the air vent opening was covered by zombies. Alicia has no other plan but to inject morphine to each and every victim and set one by one aside in another part of the storage for them to rest forever until they turned into zombies? Who knows who are bitten or not.

While Troy and Nick's only chance to help Alicia and the rest of the survivors was a desperate suicide attack using their truck as their weapon of destruction and when they got out of the truck they moved to the helicopter but they don't know how to use it. How they were saved from impending death is when Madison, Strand and Taka arrived and fired shots and what happened at the ranch is an ultimate wipe out burnt offering. After all the destruction and great escape from thousands of zombies, Ofelia heard what she needs to hear that her father is alive and they have to return to the water dam. However, Alicia who is still in shock decided she will rather proceed to the land where Jake promised her of safety. Madison can't do anything so she allowed Nick and Troy followed her tracks.

Only two episodes remaining to the finale of this ravishing zombie series. Chris Hardwick had Alycia Debnam Carey (Alicia) and the director of this episode Aisha Tyler as guests in Talking Dead show. When Chris asked Alycia if she had a choice which role/part she wants to play and she answered that of "Troy's." Weird?! Troy's part is that of a psychopath. But Nick's role/part is somewhat strange too. Remember the series started with Nick as compulsive addict and seeing things beyond what is a normal vision and then everyone's dying after that. Do you think Alicia will become ruthless and  psychotic after putting all the ranchers to sleep?

Well, you know what? Do you remember in the 70's when you heard from the radio and read newspapers of some people jumping from the top of the building because these people were so "high" of unknown substance? Said to believed that before the incident, the victims reported of feeling the urge to "fly." In their mind-thing they could fly. That's what the drugs and marijuana had them thinking that they are "limitless." They can do anything. Then two movie starlets driving too fast at the highway down to the bridge to the morgue because they were so high of forbidden drugs? Too many stories, true stories of these victims of drugs and high of marijuana that they were on a rampage killing and killing themselves as if they are in the Vietnam war. Platoon the movie had it portrayed how forbidden substance and illegal drugs can lead you to nowhere but death. Is PLATOON the movie a true war story?
