Fear the Walking Dead Season 6 Episode 6 Review: Bury Her Next to Jasper’s Leg

This Fear the Walking Dead review contains spoilers.  Fear the Walking Dead Season 6 Episode 6 What is there to say really about this week’s Fear the Walking Dead? After a strong run of episodes that stumbled with last week’s “Honey,” season 6 completely face plants with “Bury Her Next to Jasper’s Leg.” If I were John Dorie, I’d cut and run back to a lakeside cabin, too. But it didn’t have to be this way. There are a few things that work in this episode’s favor. Garret Dillahunt is very good, as always. I truly felt John’s pain as he confessed…

The Walking Dead: World Beyond Episode 6 Review – Shadow Puppets

This The Walking Dead: World Beyond review contains spoilers. The Walking Dead: World Beyond Episode 6 Perhaps I’m just projecting the character of Abraham onto the actor, but as a director, Michael Cudlitz seems to be able to have fun with his material, no matter how dark. Throughout “Shadow Puppets,” there are a lot of fun little touches and moments to lighten things up and serve as an effective tension break during some of the more nervous moments. Towards the end of the episode, as Iris is skulking into an abandoned department store, there are two back-to-back scares, one a…

The Walking Dead: Hilarie Burton Cast as Negan’s Wife Lucille

Did somebody say “Here’s Negan”? If so, The Walking Dead certainly heard you and appears to be setting up season 10’s six extra episodes to cover an important side arc from the comic series. As first reported by Comicbook.com and confirmed by the actress herself. The Walking Dead season 10 has cast Hilarie Burton as Negan’s dearly departed wife Lucille.  “Been pretty hard to keep this a secret,” Burton tweeted. “But I love working with @JDMorgan. I love watching him become #Negan and take on that swagger. And I love the @TheWalkingDead family. They’ve been a part of our family for…

Fear the Walking Dead: Janis Death Explained

This Fear the Walking Dead article contains spoilers. Fear the Walking Dead season 6 has not been without its casualties. While it seemed at first that the season would start by confirming Morgan’s death after the shocking season 5 cliffhanger, it turned out he’d survived his ordeal with Virginia and the walker horde. Others haven’t been so lucky in the first four episodes of season 6. First, we said goodbye to Isaac, who helped Morgan find his way back to the world of the living in the premiere. Not long behind him was Emile, the ax-wielding bounty hunter who tried…

The Walking Dead: World Beyond Episode 5 Review – Madman Across the Water

This The Walking Dead: World Beyond review contains spoilers. The Walking Dead: World Beyond Episode 5 When the Endlings left Campus Colony, they were four kids who didn’t really know each other. Even Hope and Iris, the two sisters, had secrets from one another. Silas kept the secret of why he ended up at Campus. And Elton, the quirky little fellow in the corduroy suit, had secrets of his own. On a show littered with traumatic stories, perhaps none is quite as traumatic as Elton’s, and The Walking Dead: World Beyond puts that trauma, as well as his mother’s manuscript,…

Fear the Walking Dead Season 6 Episode 4 Review: The Key

This Fear the Walking Dead review contains spoilers.  Fear the Walking Dead Season 6 Episode 4 Sensitive gunslinger John Dorie may wear his heart in his sleeve, but there’s still a lot we don’t know about him. That is, until this week’s “The Key.” Fear the Walking Dead’s sixth season continues to build momentum with another strong outing, though this episode stumbles just a little bit here and there. But most of “The Key” works, and works well, thanks in no small part to a solid, understated performance from Garret Dillahunt. Clearly, showrunners Andrew Chambliss and Ian Goldberg know they have an…

How The Walking Dead Ending Changed the Daryl and Carol Spinoff

Ready for your surreal thought of the day? The Walking Dead recently planned to take Daryl and Carol off the series! Oh, don’t worry, we’re not going to let that one sink in too long, since said plan was connected to the now-revealed spinoff series, on which Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride will reprise their respective main series roles. However, it does reveal something rather interesting about how plans for AMC‘s developing spinoff series were altered. The Walking Dead main series showrunner Angela Kang and chief content officer Scott M. Gimple originally planned for the main series exits of Reedus’s…

Fear the Walking Dead: Sherry’s Return Explained

This Fear the Walking Dead article contains spoilers. Fear the Walking Dead season 6 delivered its first big reveal of the season at the very end of “Alaska.” After months of searching for his long lost wife, Dwight finally reunited with Sherry (Christine Evangelista) in a surprising manner, connecting via walkie basically out of nowhere. Whatever you might think of the way the reunion was executed — I found the matter-of-fact way Dwight ran into Sherry to be a bit underwhelming — this cliffhanger ending marks a major milestone in Dwight’s story of love lost. Now reunited with Sherry, perhaps…

Fear the Walking Dead Season 6 Episode 3 Review: Alaska

This Fear the Walking Dead review contains spoilers.  Fear the Walking Dead Season 6 Episode 3 I have to say, we may only be three episodes in, but I’m really enjoying Fear the Walking Dead season 6 so far. Sure, maybe it’s the prolonged cabin fever talking—we are seven months into a pandemic, after all. Or maybe Fear the Walking Dead has finally hit its stride.  Before we really delve into this episode, though, I will say this: I haven’t given many 5-star ratings to Fear over the last five seasons I’ve reviewed the show, but “Alaska” is as close to perfect…

The Walking Dead: World Beyond Episode 4 Review – The Wrong End of a Telescope

This The Walking Dead: World Beyond review contains spoilers. The Walking Dead: World Beyond Episode 4 A lot of people are critical of The Walking Dead: World Beyond for what the show is. It’s a teen-centric supernatural drama set in a zombie universe, like MTV’s Teen Wolf but not sexy due to the unspoken body odor surrounding every character. That’s not to everyone’s taste, which is understandable. The Walking Dead isn’t to everyone’s tastes, either. As such, a Walking Dead fan’s tolerance or interest in World Beyond is based heavily on just how much they enjoy watching melodramas meant for…

The Walking Dead: World Beyond Episode 4 Post-Credits Scene Explained

This The Walking Dead: World Beyond feature contains spoilers. To understand what happens after the credits roll on The Walking Dead: World Beyond episode 4, one needs to look a little further back in The Walking Dead history. The final sequence of Rick Grimes’ last Walking Dead episode “What Comes After” features an anguished Jadis (Pollyanna McIntosh) on a walkie-talkie, communicating with a mysterious helicopter. “I have a B,” she announces. “Not an A, I never had an A.” The “B” she has is a delirious, impaled Rick Grimes, making his final appearance on The Walking Dead as a lead…

The Walking Dead: World Beyond Episode 3 Review – The Tyger and the Lamb

This THE WALKING DEAD: WORLD BEYOND review contains spoilers. The Walking Dead: World Beyond Episode 3 The Campus Colony in The Walking Dead: World Beyond is less like a hard-scrabble camp and more like a small town protected by stone walls. There might have been thousands of people who lived and worked behind those walls, but that clearly wasn’t enough to allow someone like Silas to join the community without making a few waves. In a small town, nothing moves as fast as the rumor mill, and when the hulking new arrival comes from Omaha with whispers of violence in…

Fear the Walking Dead: Strand’s Shocking Turn Explained by Colman Domingo

This Fear the Walking Dead article contains spoilers. Fear the Walking Dead season 6 is underway, with each episode featuring mostly self-contained stories. “Welcome to the Club,” the second episode of the season and the first episode directed by Morgan actor Lennie James, focuses on Strand (Colman Domingo) and Alicia (Alycia Debnam-Carey) adjusting to their new life of servitude on Virginia’s (Colby Minifie) tightly-run settlement. “I think this season is more of an anthology…we get to get deeper into more character and conflict,” Domingo tells Den of Geek of the new season structure. “I think last year we were taking…

Fear the Walking Dead Season 6 Episode 2 Review: Welcome to the Club

This Fear the Walking Dead review contains spoilers.  Fear the Walking Dead Season 6 Episode 2 Generally speaking, I tend to take a more philosophical approach to writing my reviews. Zombie shows in particular have a lot of meat on the bone in this regard, and offer a lot of food for thought. Puns aside, this week’s “Welcome to the Club,” directed by none other than Fear the Walking Dead’s own Lennie James, tackles the notion of identity-defining morality in an episode that’s filled with plenty of twists and turns. You can read more about James’s first time in the director’s chair in…

Fear the Walking Dead Season 6: Alicia and Strand Make a Friend in Episode 2 Clip

This season, Fear the Walking Dead has adopted an anthology story structure, with last Sunday’s season premiere focusing on the very-much-alive Morgan, who just barely survived the wrath of axe-swingin’, baked bean-eatin’ bounty hunter Emile LaRoux, hired by none other than the trailblazing Virginia (Colby Minifie). Needless to say, by the end of the episode it looks like Morgan’s fighting spirit is rejuvenated, and he’s dead set on wresting his people from Ginny’s grasp. This Sunday’s episode focuses on Alicia (Alycia Debnam-Carey) and Strand (Colman Domingo) as they struggle to navigate Virginia’s thriving settlement, where they’ve been delegated less-than-desirable societal…

This Fear the Walking Dead article contains spoilers. Following one of the most infuriating cliffhangers in Fear the Walking Dead history, last Sunday’s season 6 premiere, “The End Is the Beginning,” finally confirmed that fan-favorite character Morgan Jones is alive and well(ish). Following an epic showdown with a no-nonsense bounty hunter with an affinity for big axes and baked beans, Morgan finds himself reinvigorated and dead-set on liberating his people from Virginia’s group of murderous trailblazers. While the second episode of season 6 won’t feature Morgan in the flesh, it will mark the directorial debut of Lennie James himself. Back…
