![]() The idea of floating zombies is really fun, and it’s going to lead to some great makeup, especially as the zombies get more and more bloated/eaten by fish from their time in the ocean. Adam Davidson makes good use of CGI in a great shot of the survivors on the boat looking back towards the burning ruins of what was once Los Angeles, and there’s a few really good zombie confrontations later on in the episode when Chris decides to go for a random swim in the ice-cold Pacific. There’s not a lot of flash in this week’s episode. ![]() We know enough not to take someone at face value, but Alicia doesn’t, and Strand is right to be worried about what she’s talking about, even as the rest of the people on the boat come to terms with their new state of being. Alicia and the other kids seem to be willing to go out of their way to be helpful, even as Alicia hears what happens to helpful rescuers over the radio while getting to know the mysterious Jack, another survivor on a nearby boat. ![]() Everyone’s infected, there is no safety, the best leadership is a Ricktatorship, or at least a Shaneocracy, and reaching out to help other people can either help you or kill you, depending on just how innocent your rescued parties seem to be. We know so much about the universe of The Walking Dead that these characters don’t know. Oh yeah, there are also lots of floating zombies out there, just in case you felt like the blended family and their mysterious benefactor were a little too safe from people other than themselves.Īt times, it can be difficult to rewind the tape. They’re on a boat, there are other people on boats, and some of those other people are armed and very, very dangerous. ![]() Of course, they’re not the only ones with that idea, and that’s the general premise of Fear The Walking Dead for the forseeable future. With Strand’s oceanside mansion on fire and zombies all around, there’s only one way for the survivors to go, and that’s to the sea. Every first season has its ups and downs, but they kicked off with more of an idea of how to do the show, a more consistent creative vision, and a more interesting premise: what would life be like when the zombie apocalypse breaks out? Granted, they didn’t do a lot with the premise on a macro level, but on a micro level-examining it from the point of view of one family in a small community protected by armed guards-it proved to be interesting, and the acting was much improved over The Walking Dead‘s first season. Fear The Walking Dead started out on fairly good footing last season. ![]()
