I agree. Very boring episode. It isn't even Fear the walking dead anymore. They only throw in a token zombie or two to keep the show's title going. It's mostly "Fear the stupid people". Or in Sundays episode, "Fear the Rain." "Fear the little brat kid Charlie." They should fear her. She shoots people. Another yawn fest. probably next week too.

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.
I did enjoy watching the last show about Alicia and the little girl who killed her brother, I forget her name...and in the end, the zombie falling on the cellar door, which allowed it to open...kinda nice...story line...and I think your rather onto something, concerning the comics....

Love the cowboy...loved Madison's husband, but they killed him off....I had always hoped they were lower to the ground and when he fell, he didn't fall far....

Yes, I noticed that as well and something about an alligator.

i feel like the early version of the walkers should be similar to the zombies of WWZ. They should have been super fast and this is one of the reason why civilization reversed so fast. The outbreak spread fast since the walkers were super fast. As the mutation spread, the walker mutation changed too. The "original" walkers are the key to the cure.

He had such a minor role that I forgot about him. Also Madison was the only one who had a connection with him. I would rather see the Chinese lady next door neighbor who turned.

Yeah, I don’t see how Tobias was a fan favorite. I don’t recall anyone ever talking about him.

Or the producers could've given the walkers cognitive ability that quickly fades over time. For example, in one TWD episode Rick and Glenn covered themselves in blood and guts to mask their scent as they walk among them. It would've been cool watching walkers teaming up to catch human prey.
