I hate Strand. Alicia and Charlie.

I also don't care about anyone else, especially that paparazzi chick with the camera, so stupid, kill her off already and film that! What's up with this June, Laura, Naomi whatever her name is?

I just want John Dorie and Morgan to go to Alexandria and merge those two back on the WD and cancel FTWD.
yeah, Fear has never been that good....never lived up to TWD, however, that to is on its way out with me.

Strand was my favorite character but his whole keeps on backstabbing the group is becoming old.

I hope they add the group to the TWD and then start fresh with a new group. No families.

The whole Madison and Travis family saga was ridiculous then you add Daniel's family. This go be a good series if they just add small group of people from different walks of life.

The airplane and the hatchet mini sagas were more exciting.

Excellent suggestion. I agree.

The whole Clark family dynamic never worked. Have to give credit to the management at FTWD for killing them all off except for one. When I heard of the concept of a family with "issues" & a drug addict son I figured it would mess up the greater story-line. It did.

I liked Madison, but I understand why they finished her off.

LOL

I cheated and watched a little of the show this morning, and saw Strand in some mansion? How did they get there? How did they find that place, will they tell us?
Can't remember, but I think Stand just stumbled upon it. He had that car, I assume he still does.

well, I haven't given up on her yet, remember what the writers did to Glenn that time on the dumpster?

I'm really hoping that she's still alive? thought it was way too irresponsible for the writers to kill off her son and her both? But hey, you never know, right?

I think she's gone, but you are right, you never know. The actor who played her son wanted off the show. I think the writers just wanted to get rid of most of the Clark family. The first 2 seasons were so badly written that it's been difficult for FTWD to get a grip.

I've have a hard time feeling any empathy for the characters on the show, and the writing seems almost silly at times -- like a post-apocalyptic Disney family drama. Apart from Victor Strand, this latest season has introduced some of the most interesting characters they've had. But I'm not expecting it to last much longer.

I thought it seemed pretty clear that she blew herself up/burned to death.

I think they are basically trying to reboot the show. The thing I always noticed about Fear vs TWD is that the original is clearly based on a comic book, filled with archetypes, clear antagonists and protagonists and a bit over the top as comics can be, while Fear lacked that and was more "real world" if that makes sense in a zombie show. Now, with the crossover of Morgan and the introduction of Dorie and Al, we have character types we are more used to in the world of the walking dead. It wouldn't surprise me at all if we see Strand either take a small role or die and have a show focused on Alicia and the cast of slightly over the top archetypes that surround her.

yeah, see, my memory is very bad....so I don't remember that part....sorry....I have MS which makes my memory really bad....lots of times, I have to watch a show a few times...to remember things.

Yeah, now that I think about it, your probably write, but Morgan now seems to want to go back and bring the gang with him, which I thought was interesting...

might be fun to see what they do now....b/c I wasn't thrilled with a hole season dedicated to war with Negan on TWD and feel that many were bored by the series. But that's just me....

I've really been getting into Yellowstone....and enjoying it....
