FEAR The Walking Dead

FTWD has returned last Sunday on AMC Channel. Episode: People Like Us

Story: After the escape from the Stadium in Mexico, away from the burning of the hundred thousands of zombies, away from Madison Clark who acted out in being the heroine to help her daughter Alicia, Nick. Luciana, Strand and the rest of survivors from being attack by zombies. Is she really dead? I doubt it.

Life without Nick and Madison Clark and  with new casts:  the news reporter, former policeman, Charlie, and Naomi (June? Laura? what's really her name in this series?) Nobody likes Charlie after she killed Nick Clark. Nobody likes Morgan?

Without the original lead characters or replaced by some odd players don't know really what the script is going on. There was a heavy storm and because those zombies are light as plywood they were being swept away by strong winds. Charlie felt alienated in the group of new "friends" and decided to escape but re-appeared at Luciana's doorstep only to just coldly been kicked out but when she saw what Charlie left behind on the table, the book she gave to Charlie before the incident. Well, who is in her right mind will forgive Charlie after she killed Nick? Crazy girl! Crazy script! Yeah probably she is in her bout of insanity. Who wont be strong enough in the apocalyptic situation where dead people roamed the earth? And rotten flesh is what you breathe? And no food to eat and no fresh water to drink. Charlie is probably in the situation of not trusting anybody. She cannot trust the living because they are also murderers and men are what? Molesters? She probably would choose the zombies!

Luciana is at the brink of insanity because of depression because of Nick's death. She's deeply hurt and in mourning for the loss of a loved one. The lead character Alicia is trying to help somebody who left  those trails of HELP notes and that led her and Morgan to find, seek and tried to help whoever that person through the logging camp. It was too late though. The man was consumed by zombies. Then Morgan's plan was to go back home, dunno if Morgan's home is Rick's home.

John Dorie asked Strand to help find Charlie. Although Charlie killed Nick, Strand decided to went along with John Dorie since Alicia happened to shoot John Dorie that almost killed him. Is John Dorie recuperated already or will he bleed to death in the next encounter? Whatever! The importance of one's character strenghtened the story or weakens, just make it impossible to believe the story of this apocalyptic series? Or women's issues are sort of being raised as the foundation for this action drama and what will make this series a story of women and girls trapped in male dominated environment where zombies are just second to be fear of.

I don't know who their scriptwriters. maybe it's time to listen to the fans.
