Little do we know that we’re about to be subjected to a time-jumping farce of epic proportions, all tied to melodramatic, maudlin “testimony” given to Al and her camera. They ambush the other group in a surprise twist and leave us thinking that we’re about to have a showdown between Morgan and his friends and Madison and hers. It also set up Alicia and Strand as the new bad guys-sort of.
The first episode of Season 4 introduced John Dorie and Al and it was, quite frankly, a very strong episode that led me to believe great things were on the horizon. In fact, at first I thought the change in direction was actually a good thing. Who could have predicted what a disaster this would be? As a long-time fan of the character (though not his final days in The Walking Dead and the “YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS” crap) I had no idea he’d be such a huge setback to Fear. Instead we got a time jump and some teleportation to accommodate the crossover arrival of Morgan Jones. Maybe once they got together we’d follow them on their journey to Texas or maybe the show would have headed north into Colorado and the Rockies, giving us a new landscape beyond the flat and dusty. Maybe they’d be hunted by Proctor John or have to avoid more dangers in Mexico. There was a cool story waiting to be told about how the gang got back together.
We didn’t know what happened to our heroes other than Madison. Proctor John and his goons were either dead or dispersed. Season 3 ended on a pretty open-ended-but still fascinating-cliffhanger. I didn’t think things would get so bad when Dave Erickson left Fear The Walking Dead. A Brief History Of The Villains Of Fear The Walking Dead Post-Erickson If you want to read my scathing review of last night’s episode of Fear The Walking Dead, which gets into a few of the show’s other problems, here’s the link. This extends way beyond just the villains, but we’ll focus on these for now. In fact, often my other big complaint was how bad Madison and her group seemed to muck everything up everywhere they want (both parents on that island ended up dead, their children left to survive on their own just as one example).īut ever since Andrew Chambliss and Ian Goldberg took over-and Scott Gimple took more of a role after leaving the showrunner job at The Walking Dead-things have taken a pretty radical nosedive. At least one or even two seasons should have been devoted to that. That era of this show was far from perfect (though Season 3 came damn near) but my biggest gripe remains how quickly they moved past the early days of the zombie outbreak.
