Making it a little earlier than normal, but I'm in the middle of watching the Two Towers and I don't want to forget

So looks like Ofelia is going to be in this episode, hopefully it's a good one.

Comments

  • Thank you, InGen! I had forgotten!

  • Still no Crazy Chris huh? Dammit....

  • Yay! The funky little intro noise is back!

  • You bitch! You just stabbed Strand, he's one of the few characters I like in this show, him and Alicia.

  • Goddamnit not Strand!

  • I actually sympathized with ol' girl until she stabbed Victor. If she was just focusing her anger at that hotel manager chick we would've been cool, but now she's out of the club.

  • Ofelia seems to be doing all right on her own. Can't wait till her father starts giving her advice.

  • Anyone else see the TTG Batman commercial??

  • Anyone else get a Telltale Batman commercial. It looked great.

  • yeah after going through her Oh Henry fortune she loses her husband and he daughter but at least she wears a bra now!

  • I did. It was.

  • Hey look where they are...

  • Oh, looks like once again they're getting steamier than a platter of lobster.

  • Uh oh, they know where they are.

  • The mexican saviors are coming

  • Madison followed them though.

    Uh oh, they know where they are.

  • Ofelia's going back to the homeland huh? And Madison has gone back to being an idiot.

  • Ugh Madison, you're such an idiot. I know you miss Nick, but I'm with Alicia here, you can't risk shit like this. You're risking all of your lives for fucking Nick.

  • Ofelia is a fox and she is going on a crazy journey to find her man! She is way tougher then she let on!

    • Alicia moment with surfer.
      Effective at making audience empathize with her and understanding her mindset as of the present, especially her current thoughts on Nick.

    • Ofelia flashbacks.
      Effective at making audience empathize with her, and progress the plot.

    • Coleman Domingo doesn't know how to act pain.
      No, he doesn't.

    • Madison will be the comic version of Rick confirmed.
      "We do not kill," to "sometimes we need to kill," to "you kill and you will be killed," to "we need to kill this person because reasons." Make up your mind already. Is this the protagonist trend, because I don't want Javier to resemble this back and forth.

    • Batman commercial!
      This was awesome!

    • Alejandro trusts Nick "like a son."
      …because they've known each other for a whole five days and they have bonded closely after discussing how to cheat when trading supplies.

    • Lame connection between Madison and Nick.
      How did that even happen?

    • Madison turns on the sign.
      Character development, but the character has a moment of stupidity.

    • Lame connection between Madison and Travis.
      That's not how geography works, AMC. Mexico is bigger.

    Gotta love how everyone just happens to be in the same relative area as one another

    Madison in a hotel, which happens to be relatively close to the Colonia, while Travis also happens to be in the same general area

    Watch as Ofelia takes a wrong turn and somehow ends up at the hotel, too

    Or how about the chances of them interrogating those people from the Colonia at the same time Madison was there, and that they just so happen to mention Nick at that specific moment as well

  • I didn't catch that Seinfield reference until I saw it on Talking Dead lol

  • The sarcasm is real.

  • I hear you, but sometimes you just gotta suspend belief. When you think about it.... do people really understand how astronomically fucktarded it is that Clementine happened to run into Kenny in the middle of absolute no where after 2 years?

    Sure, but I still find it easier to suspend disbelief for Clementine and Kenny than I am for this entire family to happen to all be within 15-20 miles of one another, and the fact that they all seem to coincidentally find out about one another on the same day.

    Seriously, Madison figures out Nick's alive because a guy at the hotel had a relative that was with the gang Nick was trading with, and just happens to catch an interrogation where Nick gets mentioned, which leads to Madison turning on the sign, which Travis just happens to be in plain view of at the right moment to see it.

    At least Clementine and Kenny is just one case of two people finding each other by a somewhat ridiculous chance. And it at least has some form of an explanation (even if it's still a bit flimsy) in that Clementine and Kenny were both heading north towards Wellington. But FTWD just had an entire family that was seemingly scattered throughout Mexico with no clear idea of where they were going, managing to find each other all at once after a chain of convenient occurrences.

  • Travis and Nick were on foot you have to consider that too. ITs only been a week or so since they split up right? How far can you really get on foot in an apocalypse? I think they would be prettty close still.

  • Is it worth watching this half-season?

    I'd watched season 1 and the first half of season 2, but got frustrated that only one main character has died in about 13 episodes. I thought things had changed when Salazar died but apparently that didn't happen.

  • Watch as Ofelia takes a wrong turn and somehow ends up at the hotel, too

    I actually think she has a better chance of running into Chris and Travis because I think that restaurant she was at was also the place Chris went to? I think? My memory isn't too keen on it.

  • Salazar? As in Daniel? It's not confirmed that he is dead.

  • That's what I'm saying.

    In 7 episodes, 1 main character 'died', and apparently they didn't even do so.

    This is the walking dead. That's just ridiculous imo

  • Yeah that's one of my main issues with FearTWD, the lack of deaths. It seems the Clarks are untouchable. Same for the Manawas. Strand is becoming too much of a fan-favorite, Daniel's probably alive out there... I'd like one of the main cast to die already (If I can choose which one, I'd pick Chris)

  • Pretty sure the death's will come. What I find stupid and unrealistic is how the family will inevitably find each other again when the chances in reality after splitting up is very unlikely

  • Did you enjoy the first half of the second season? If so, I think you would like this one too.

    I imagine one of the issues the show has is the main cast is kind of small at this point, and as a result they kill side characters mostly a lot. I imagine someone is going to die in the season finale, well, I hope so. The show really needs some more out of the ball park episodes if you ask me.

    If you got nothing to watch, it's not the worst.
