AMCĪs such, there is some payoff for viewers who have kept tuning in each week despite this admittedly being an inferior spinoff.įear The Walking Dead, as well, has been a series that has shifted gears so many times that it’s hard to keep track. And even though there have been many downsides to this spinoff, the upsides have been largely illustrated by her relationships with various characters, including Daniel Salazar, who makes a hell of a re-entrance, too. From what I’ve seen so far, it’s attempting to do so in a spectacularly pants-sh*tting way, and I suspect that existing fans will be fine with where this is going. Now, we’re at the eighth and final season, which appears to be - from the episodes that I’ve seen thus far - a way to send this show spiraling down the most nonsensical hill ever and crashing into the ocean so that the new spinoffs can start things fresh. A nuclear apocalypse on top of a zombie apocalypse? Too much, but the show learned to embrace its trappings. She was pivotal, and after her death, the show maintained momentum even while jumping over shark after shark. Morgan’s entry and the John Dorie warmup helped, but Virginia made for a chilling villain. Other than Madison, most of Fear The Walking Dead‘s characters didn’t grab me (and she “died” in Season 4), but I hung on because Dustin had promised that the show grew much better in Season 6.

She helped guide this spinoff into such a void that Dwight’s Season 5 move from The Walking Dead seemed like a worse punishment than being exiled by Daryl. I’m not sure what the Filthy Woman was supposed to accomplish other than inventing the world’s first Antifreeze Villain. Jack sh*t happened for multi-episode blocks.

For several seasons (after the novelty of the show’s regular changes in scenery wore off), it wasn’t a good time. Watching it all at once made the sluggish parts of the show feel like an exercise in treading quicksand. Then earlier this year, I binged seven seasons in less than a month. With Fear, I fully procrastinated and only knew the show (along with crossovers including Morgan and Dwight) via Dustin Rowles’ faithful recaps and analysis. With The Walking Dead, I kept up from season to season, even if that happened in 3-4 episode bursts that were slightly behind the masses. I should pause here and discuss how I might be coming at this spinoff in a different way than you did. Soon, there will be a handful of new spinoffs led by characters from the flagship series (and I’m especially curious about how Daryl Dixon handles being Daryl In Paris), yet since 2015, the franchise’s longest-existing spinoff (although not the only one so far), Fear The Walking Dead, has been hobbling along. And Dick Wolf’s stream of criminals-of-the-week ain’t got nothing on the survivors who are frequently even more lethal than the walkers themselves. This franchise is the Law & Order of zombie shows.

I think people could connect those dots.No matter whether you adore or roll your eyes at AMC’s The Walking Dead universe (and its unifying helicopter timeline), you gotta admire its ability to keep resurrecting itself.

People have seen that skyline referenced already in promotion. I'll say this: People have detected what that city is online, and you can look at that skyline and detect where that is. So people could extrapolate beyond that, that the city may be associated with the CRM. We know the helicopter is CRM, I mean, hell, we can see it on this jacket. Check out his remarks in the space below: And that city is exactly the one fans think it was, as Rick and Michonne spinoff showrunner Gimple confirmed to EW.

In addition to briefly acknowledging that Rick and Michonne are indeed both still alive, these big TWD series finale cameos also served as confirmation as to the whereabouts of Rick, who in the episode was seen on a riverside full of trapped mud zombies, staring down one of those menacing CRM helicopters with a city in the background.
