Featured review
This season is starting to lose me...
I love a good post-apocalypse story as much as anyone, and until recently I was touting Fear The Walking Dead as being better than its parent show. But this season is really not doing it for me and this particular episode is the least interesting or entertaining in either show so far.
The time-jumping is gratuitous. I'm not having a problem following the story but hopping from one sequence of events to another is not serving the story at all and is in many cases killing off any dramatic tension that might be present in a linear story. I've read that the writers had to work hard to wedge Morgan into this show and skip ahead a lot but I don't think Morgan's presence in this show was worth it (don't get me wrong, I love Morgan's character and Lennie James is excellent in the role).
The big "twist" at the end should've been a big emotional moment but there was so much telling and not showing in this episode that by the time we got to *that moment*, it had the life leeched out of it. Alicia foreshadowed it blatantly and we were left with no shock, no surprise, just an overwrought slow-motion flashback with melodramatic music. That moment should've come suddenly, with the other characters barely having time to react, without the scene being intercut with the characters talking about their reaction to it after the fact. It would've had a lot more impact that way.
I want to like Maggie Grace's character more but I just cannot understand her obsession with getting "the story". And I say that as someone who's worked as a freelance journalist. Al is badass and capable (and Ms Grace does a great job portraying her) but the whole chronicler angle feels way overemphasised.
I do hope the remaining 8 episodes get back to their earlier good form, but this one in particular was a mess.
