Fear the Walking Dead Season 4 Episode 8 Review

The Clark family is dropping like flies.

Fear the Walking Dead Season 4 Episode 8  was without a doubt the most confusing, only ultimately, the nearly satisfying episode this season. With an incredible amount of answers to quite a few lingering questions were finally answered.

Some serious credit must be given to the writers. This episode definitely kept me on my toes and continuously guessing -- and second-guessing -- what was to come up.

When Madison found Althea and ended upwards providing her story, the unabridged time we were led to believe that their interaction had taken place following the autumn of the stadium.

That was nowhere near the instance, as Madison meeting Althea took place following the collapse of the dam on Fright the Walking Dead Season 3 Episode 16.

While the excessive time jumps back and forth was a flake much at times, in hindsight, it was a clever fashion to utilize to dual timelines while filling in the blanks from the Fear the Walking Dead Season 3 finale.

Fifty-fifty if Madison regrouping with her family at the motel seemed a little besides contrived for my liking, it worked well enough to set up how they constitute the stadium that they would phone call home.

Alicia, Strand, and Luciana caught up to Althea, Morgan, John, and Naomi awfully quick, didn't they? Has anyone else been incredibly frustrated with Alicia? I recall it has more than to do with how enthralled I am with Althea that I find myself constantly pulling for her.

Even though we have more than history with Alicia, Strand, and Luciana, I tin can't help merely find myself fascinated with Al. She's spunky, witty, confident, and sexy equally hell.

One thing that threw me off was post-obit Alicia's rocket boom that knocked off the truck's door. How in the world did Alicia get into the truck so hands? With the arsenal that Althea supposedly had access to, she could have easily held Alicia at bay.

Nonetheless, for storytelling purposes, that scuffle needed to occur in order for Alicia to find the tape of Madison'southward story. Althea's words to Madison earlier almost her story beingness useful echoed what happened when Alicia watched her mother'south video.

Expect, I know yous don't have the story y'all're looking for, but someone might be interested in yours one day.

Althea

Give thanks the Lord that John Dorie survived! Was anyone else on the edge of their seat thinking we had lost him on numerous occasions? Not cool, writers, not cool!

Of form, saving John wouldn't have been possible without Morgan intervening and risking his life to protect Naomi from Alicia's rage-fueled vengeance.

I'm thankful that Morgan got a chance to shine in this episode, aside from the Fear the Walking Expressionless Season 4 premiere, he'south been relegated to background grapheme for the most part.

Withal, Morgan played a pivotal role during this episode, as he was able to exercise what he does best and used empathy to get through to people. He failed Nick just was determined -- even at the cost of his own life -- to save Alicia from that same nighttime path.

Hence my biggest gripe with Alicia'due south grudge against Naomi: Alicia has been going after Naomi as if she direct caused Madison's death, nonetheless she literally had no interest.

I tin can understand if Alicia was looking for someone to blame, but in the finish, information technology felt completely unjustified.

Oh, and Naomi's real name is June? I'1000 glad we finally learned her real proper noun -- at least, we can assume that's her legitimate proper noun?

Which brings u.s.a. to the elephant in the room. At the onset of the season, the present storyline was set up to incline that Madison was expressionless. It fabricated sense given Alicia, Strand, Nick and Luciana's quest for revenge, but as the season progressed, I had a blink of promise that Madison might have actually been live.

Notwithstanding, with Alicia, Strand, Luciana and Naomi giving Althea Madison's complete story, we learned that Madison sacrificed herself to save everyone else past leading the enormous herd into the stadium and setting it ablaze.

[filming a message to Naomi] If I don't make information technology, that's okay with me. Equally long as you do. Yous hear me? And when this is all over, stop running from people. And Morgan, you help him do the aforementioned, or not do information technology. I remember you kno what I hateful.

John

That entire scene was actually reminiscent of Daniel Salazar setting the cellar on fire on Fear the Walking Dead Season two Episode seven. Speaking of which, where the hell is Daniel? We notwithstanding don't know what happened to him following the autumn of the dam.

I know Ruben Blades has been busy making albums, but throw us a freakin' bone hither!

It was a very emotional moment, especially with Madison talking to Alicia and Nick in her terminal moments. Of class, we never actually saw Madison dice, simply she was in shut enough proximity to those walkers that there seemed to be no escape from their clutches.

Odds are Kim Dickens will exist on Talking Expressionless, so we'll have to hear it straight from the equus caballus'southward mouth to go some conclusiveness on the issue. At this point, all signs signal to Madison being dead.

Possibly what's virtually heartbreaking is that Alicia is all who's left. Non only of the Clark family, but of Madison'south legacy that she tried to bestow upon her children.

So, now that everything is hunky-Dorie, what's next for this grouping? At present that Alicia has accepted Madison's expiry and embraced the way of life she intended Alicia to follow, will they all be able to coexist and work together?

I however notice information technology odd how Alicia and Luciana can travel with Charlie, knowing total well that she directly caused Nick's death. Talk about one hell of an bad-mannered road trip.

At the stop of the twenty-four hours, this was a satisfying midseason finale. It provided plenty of information  -- fifty-fifty if it was confusing to piece together at times. The stadium arc has officially come to a close, and I'm looking forward to being a part of this new journeying now that these ii groups have joined forces.

And what a forcefulness to be reckoned with.
