Stephen and Bruce discuss this week's episodes, “Pillar of Salt” and “Date of Death.” Madison shows some strong leadership except when she thinks about Nick; then she loses her ability to think clearly. Travis is going through a similar process with Chris. Ofelia is on a walkabout to find an old boyfriend; her dad Salazar is still missing. And Nick is doing well in the colonia just as its leader is falling apart.

Quinn Warner, Stephen Payne, and Bruce R. Magee discuss this week's episode. Nick spends most of the episode trying to survive in the desert, either by himself or with a herd of infected.
Quinn likes this episode a lot because it focuses on Nick, her favorite character. And she and Bruce like the focus on Nick's internal life. This is the first time that we've really gotten to see the impact of Gloria's death in the first episode on Nick, since in the earlier e...

Nick works the hardest to maintain some kind of order. With Celia in charge after Thomas' death, Nick understands that she'll let his group stay if he can get her son back.

At first, the village's in the church look like they're making do during the outbreak, but shortly after the service, they begin to bleed from their eyes and die. Thomas Abigail tries to intervene with the villagers, but he's interrupted by their sickness.

It's just Bruce and Stephen this week discussing the new episode of Fear the Walking Dead, "Captive." Our crew has retaken the yacht, but can the get back the missing members of their group?
Stephen notes that this episode balances action with character development, in contrast to other episodes that tend to have one or the other. We both like the steak cooking scene and our introduction to Connor. He seems to have taken over rather quickly in the first few...

Shawn Igou joins us again as we discuss of episode 5 of Fear the Walking Dead. Bruce takes a victory lap for suggesting that Daniel Salazar had belonged to the death squads in El Salvador during the 1980s. Ok, he took several victory laps.
The gang likes this episode quite a bit. The focus again is less on the zombies themselves and primarily on the breakdown of human society. We welcome the arrival of a strong black character named Strand (played by Colman Domingo). He is a well-to-do "closer" who uses his ability to read...

Quinn, Stephen, and Bruce discuss episode 4, and red tea, at Parish Press. After the tension of last week, the pace let up some; the apocalypse has taken a tea time as well.
This is the first episode of TWD or FTWD that we can remember not having an active walker. The focus therefore isn't on the walkers, but on the attempt of modern society to recover from any crisis. Nine days have passed since the army came in at the end of...

Quinn, Stephen, and Bruce discuss episode 3 with guest Shawn Igou, who visited us at Parish Press. We agree that this is our favorite episode so far.
And what do the zombies repesent this week? Bruce thinks they represent a disaster like a hurricane, with the national government stepping in to solve the crisis when other institutions fail. At the end of the episode, after the group makes it through the difficult night, the military sweeps in to save the day. Quinn says that if this were a typical zombie movie, the...

Quinn, Stephen, and Bruce discuss episode 2. We agree that the
excitement level has gone up considerably since the first episode. If
zombies are a metaphor for drugs (and sex) in episode 1, what do they
represent now? We conclude that zombies this week are most closely
associated with Black Lives Matter.
We disagree over how the movement is
treated. Quinn likes the way the show treated the movement; Bruce
thinks they are portrayed as impediments to the police trying to handle
the situation. We agree that the move...

Madison Clark and Travis Manawa, who are navigating the complicated
world of a blended family.
Quinn's favorite character in the episode is
Nick Clark, the drug addict who wakes up to find a zombie in the
abandoned church where he and his acquaintances get high. We discuss
the way that monsters serve as metaphors for problems we face. In this
episode, zombies are metaphors for illicit drug use. Of the three

We summarize what we know about Fear the Walking Dead.
We discuss the main actors and characters, the setting in Los
Angeles at the very beginning of the epidemic, and speculate
about the year that this could be set. Modern society is
incredibly complex and therefore easily disrupted and possibly
destroyed.
We also discuss The Walking Dead as the f...
