... it seems like this show is learning from the complaints levied against TWD. An ep like last one on TWD would have been boring as heck and all narrative stopped for the duration. Instead, we got the back stories AND the main story moved ahead.

Nice twist too.

Are you referring to the "Buried" episode? I think I just commented to another one of your post. I thought that episode was amazingly told. I loved everything about it. The cinematography interviews, the stories of each character, the interaction between the characters. I could go on and on.

Yes, "Buried"! And I just relied to you there! Ha ha ha!

"Fear" did what TWD fails when it has it's "background" eps or single character eps. TWD lets the narrative arc drop for a week or two, straining the patience of it's audience. Here, the balance was perfect.

I personally really like the show. More so than TWD to be honest. This season featured a minor reboot to attract new viewers. So far I think it’s been good, but I also liked seasons 1-3.

I am anxious t find out what happened at the stadium. Why heading out to another place was so disastrous. I can only assume the Vultures morphed into Saviors or Wolves and opened fire when they realized "their stuff" was going away. They were not interested in a stadium, no just the goods inside once the people died.

Agreed!

I'm not too fond of the reboot, as Althea and Dorie come off superficially drawn. I, too, liked seasons 1-3. #3 is my favorite.
