Fear the Walking Dead Season 3 discussion and spoilers.

[Jayson1]

Something tells me they're only keeping Troy around for Alicia to kill out of revenge. As for Strand, he's always making secret deals (as in this week's episode) and judging Madison's way of doing things, so I do not see him stepping into any leadership position, unless its with new people.

I could see him becoming a leader if he felt he had to. He already has the skills and ability to get things done. All he needs is basically the ability to look out for more than himself. I'm not sure Alicia is the one who would kill Troy if they did kill him, at least not because of revenge. I think it could be him killing NIck since he is now back onto drugs which we know will cause problems. It could be a thing that makes the character evolve or it could also be something we he evolves and still gets killed because he killed a member of the family.

Hmm. killing Nick? While that would be an interesting move, I'm not sure this series has the backbone to kill off another main character after Travis died earlier this season, and Nick--despite his druggie/murdering ways--is probably the most popular character on the show.

They seem to like to kill non white characters...so Walker and Strand
May be in danger.

Spoiler: most recent episode

Also, they just killed Ofelia.

I doubt any more main characters are on the plate this season. At least, not anyone who'd been there since season 1.

Interesting observation. That would also place Daniel's head on the chopping block.

 

[The Wormhole]

Daniel dies, we riot. Or at least stop watching the show.

People still watch the show?????

Oh, and random comment from earlier in the season...I know that a "parlay" was a serious legal term, but when they kept using the word, it just sounded silly...

Fear the Walking Dead - season three finale: "Things Bad Begun" / "Sleigh Ride"

Troy was right--Madison's people led to the death of his entire family, and now she murders him. Exactly how is she supposed to be a protagonist in this series?

Nick telling Madison he thinks she would kill him was a strong point of the episode. Its about time the reality of what she is all laid out on the table. Note how quick she was to curse him out when he called her out on killing Troy and her history of similar behavior.

Why is anyone afraid of Daniel? His old torturing reputation is not the here and now, and frankly, he's a bit long in the tooth. Why are the Clark family tolerating his BS? How would he know Troy had anything to do with that walker herd? Again, convenient plotting is...convenient.

Oh yes, Super Daniel is shot point blank the cheek and survives. All to keep this "Daniel will kill Strand" storyline going.

Once again, we see one Clark member on the side of an enemy that threatens the rest of the family. The only hopeful wrinkle in this is if Alicia decides to fight with the proctors, or she comes into conflict with Strand (who has his deal with the proctors). Obviously, the proctors' leader is instantly painted to be a monster, but with next to no character being a morally upright person, there's not much to root for on this show. At least with TWD, Negan and Jadis are so bankrupt that there's no way anyone can see their side of the conflict as valid, but on FTWD....

Now, this series borrows the "dream meal" scene from The Walking Dead--with Madison having the Rick dream, along with Michonne's memories of her boyfriend turning into walkers (or in this case, murder victims). Add the Carrie "dead hand from the grave" scene and there you have it.

So it all comes down to Madison, Strand and Alicia being separated--thanks to Nick blowing up the dam. Not an ounce of horror on this show. Walkers are just an afterthought.

I think Daniel just wanted to blame someone for his daughter's death so he picked the racist white guy. He really had no reason to suspect him other than that.

Agreed, and that made Daniel despicable which says something as he's already a terrible character. Moreover, I'm tired of his hate-obsession with Strand. He would not be alive if not for Strand's generosity in allowing Daniel's family on his boat, and away from a zombie-overrun, bombed out southern California. Think of it--this behavior is from a man surrounded by endless corrupt killers, yet he cannot stop hating on/threatening Strand. It smells of racism, which (if the producers are suggesting it) is not all that uncommon in those relations--especially in their origin point of southern California. However, I doubt the producers will have the stones to fully explore that particular form of racism, but it seems pretty apparent.

Actually, he had good reason. Nick was telling the partial truth, that Nick and the Ottos were outside the camp when the Walkers came. Daniel knows Nick wouldn't do anything that stupid. From what he knows of Jake, that seems unlikely. Add in Troy'S arrogance about trying to sound "hip" with his "knowledge" of Spanish, and anyone with half a mind would have figured it out.

I was gonna write more in detail, but As soon as Madison hears the "confession", she took ZERO time in executing Troy. zero time mulling it over

It was still reaching BS on is part, based on Daniel's own moral bankruptcy to judge Troy for only one reason. Alleged arrogance and trying to appear hip is not the sign of Satan. Further, anyone could have led a herd in that direction, or the herd just responded to whatever attracts them, as we have seen countless times on TWD. He's no expert on walker behavior, so he had no reason to even suspect anyone was responsible. The producers seem Hell-bent on having him threaten everyone with no justification, and certainly no retribution for his terrible actions.

...and Nick was 100% correct in calling her out for being the kind of base person who will murder anyone to sit her own end--including Nick himself, if she believes its justified.

TWD has dealt with certain characters turning into self-serving killers or "my way or the highway" types, but even Rick at his worst is not the pit of immorality that is Daniel and Madison. Its no wonder WD fans and some TV critics have talked abut how unlikeable some of the main characters are.

So... the Proctors are now the Saviors of FTWD. Going to guess that will be the main story line next season.

I hope not. The whole "big evil gang" gimmick is so played out in this franchise. Once Negan is killed or run off on TWD,I would like to see it all go back to barebones survival vs the dead, not the next killer psychopath show.

That part of TWD is over. The dead are decomposing and are no longer the threat they used to be. It's not a post apocalyptic world building show. Rick and crew rebuild America type of thing.

 

[Morpheus 02]

If you were following season 3, are you following season 4?

 

[Grendelsbayne]

Nope. Too much stupidity in this one. Didn't even make it to the end of 3.
