Oh. I'm still not buying it lol. It would make me too happy if she returned, and I don't want to be left sad and disappointed.
I've spent the weekend catching up on the show. Finally finished season 5, which was probably a better watch as a marathon. It's a very frustrating watch because I like the characters and I generally love the positive and optimistic vibe of the show but it felt like nothing ever happened.
However, I'm on the fourth episode of the current season and aside from the hilariously ridiculous and stupid cold open to the second episode, it has been really damn good so far. Really enjoyed the Dwight/Al stuff and Dwight in general is just such a likeable character now. Enjoying the direction they took Morgan and it's nice to see Strand with an edge again.

Alicia this week bringing the stadium back up and mentioning that it's not far from where they are... 🤔
Really good episode tonight, glad to see some focus on Alicia and Charlie (well, more like a focus on Alicia, with Charlie just kind of being there I guess). It's a shame that the episode intended to be the midseason finale wasn't filmed in time for airing, but even so, this episode worked well enough as one I think, especially with the cliffhanger at the end. I think we might see the first major character death(s) in a long time when the show comes back on, considering how tense things are now.
And I know I'm beating a dead horse, but I feel pretty confident in saying that I think at some point this season (probably towards the end), Madison is coming back. Chambliss and Goldberg apparently said that Madison returning is "definitely something we talk about" during an interview tonight, and with some stuff Gimple has said recently-ish, it just seems more like a "when" than an "if". Plus, yeah, the comment from Alicia about the stadium being nearby is pretty suspect. Even if Madison doesn't return, I think they're going back to the stadium for something at some point.
Yeah, that made me raise an eyebrow. I kind of wonder how they never ran into Virginia's groups if the stadium is somewhat close, but I probably shouldn't think too hard on it lol.

Oh I didn't realize that was the mid season finale. I thought they were filming the back half of the season when COVID hit but they were only halfway through episode 8.
Another good episode.
Though I definitely let this thread get my hopes up for a Madison return.

I think all they've said is sometime next year. I'm not sure what'll air first: Fear season 6B, or TWD season 10C. Both are still being filmed.

Ah. For some reason, I thought it was going to be sooner than that.
Oh well.
The return of season six of Fear seems to be set for April, and season seven's finally been confirmed:

Fear the Walking Dead Adds John Glover, Keith Carradine to the Cast
Ahead of its mid-season premiere in April, AMC's Fear the Walking Dead has added Smallville's John Glover alongside Keith Carradine and Nick Stahl.

John Glover!
I've never been down on this show like a lot of people. In fact, I've mostly enjoyed it more than the main show, except last season, but so far it's shaping up to be the best since S3.
Looks like the midseason premiere will debut a week early on AMC+, while subsequent episodes of the season will be watchable on Thursdays. They're copying the model that TWD is using at the moment. It's good to see, since it means the positive word of mouth about this season has them feeling confident about the rest of it. Excited for the show to come back on.

Huh, interesting.
I am curious to see how the submarine thing plays out from the first episode of the season.

How do you all feel about the current season? I absolutely love it, I think it's the best Fear season since 3. I was not fan AT ALL of seasons 4 and 5.

Mostly blah. It's not as insultingly terrible as S5, but it also doesn't seem like the writers are building up to anything that we haven't already seen several times before.
They really don't. Watch them rush world beyond to premiere as close to the end of fear as possible.
Also, amc+ is probably one of the best subs I have. The fact that it bundles so many services together is incredibly enticing. I think this, discovery+, and HBO Max /Netflix (just rotate out the other one) is really all consumers need.
It's been pretty great and much like season 3, better than most OG Walking Dead seasons.
Easily better than anything from season five, and most of season four (I did actually enjoy the first half of that one for the most part when I rewatched it recently, until Madison's death and the story that followed). Just hoping that the second half of the season holds up too.

I'm fucking crushed, man. :(
That was not at all what I thought this episode would be, after how the last one ended, though that certainly isn't a bad thing. I wasn't expecting it to be so John-centric... and never in a thousand years did I think he would be the first main character of "new Fear" to die. That was fucking heartbreaking. It seemed like he might actually survive his wound, but... nope. Fuck Dakota.
Very good episode. Just... damn. I'm legitimately stunned that that happened. And the fact that June was the one to put him down...

So do y'all think Garret Dillahunt wanted off the show, or did Chambliss and Goldberg kill John of their own accord? It's been a day since I watched the episode and I'm still stunned that they killed off possibly the most beloved character of the rebooted Fear. It's felt like they've been really hesitant to kill any of the main cast ever since Madison died, so for him to be the first one to go is just... Wow.
Whether they planned to do it or not, I think it's an interesting development that could cause a ton of changes for the other characters. I'm very interested in seeing the rest of the season.

When the ep started I was like oh yea, he's cool and pretty much the main character of the show now. All his action scenes will be boring because he'll never die. 100% no joke I was thinking that when I started watching. Never saw the end coming at all. Actually crazy.
Yeah, I didn't think they would kill him off. He's probably the most popular character of the show nowadays, at least from what I've seen other people say in the past. Definitely top three at the very least, along with Morgan and Alicia. I'm really curious to see what the general reaction will be once this airs on AMC.
I was wondering the same thing myself and the Inside the Episode didn't really provide anymore details on that

This is where I'm at. Like, you can kill characters. It's a zombie apocalypse show and you don't want the audience to feel like there's a lack of tension because none of the main characters are ever going to die. I'm fine with John Dorie dying - in a vacuum. The problem is that he was far and away the best character on a show with only a small amount of worthwhile characters. I like Strand, Dwight, and June (though mostly because of her proximity to John. It'll be interesting to see how she changes as a result of his death). Alicia and Daniel were good in previous seasons, but have been entirely sidelined. Luciana who? The two trucker people are decent enough but I can never remember their names - Wes too. I legitimately forget Al even exists when she's not on screen. Morgan, Charlie, and Grace suck. Virginia is a cartoon villain who will probably be dead by the end of the season (I would be surprised if the show was interested in rehabilitating her like the Governor or Negan). Dakota was whatever until this episode, so we'll see if they'll do anything interesting with her moving forward.
The execution of John Dorie's exit was well done - his arc closed at a poignant moment and his death was legitimately something I think most didn't see coming; the audience wasn't ready to say goodbye and were left reeling - really, it was everything you could want for the death of a beloved character. But the show doesn't have many (or any) characters of the same caliber left and I don't have any confidence that the writers will be able to pick up the slack.
Without spoiling it, how was the episode? I didn't know if it was one to go rush and watch ASAP or if I can wait until episode 9 releases to do a 1-2 punch watch.
It was probably my favorite of the season, and maybe my favorite episode of the show since the soft reboot back in season four.
Yeah, I get wanting to have a big shakeup and shock viewers, but for a show that has been more miss than hit for the last few seasons it leaves me uncertain on the future. Admittedly this season has been an improvement so maybe they'll surprise me, but I have doubts...
