I can see where this is going for future episodes which I will talk about just a bit. Obviously Morgan is going to take the crew back to Alexandria to join the rest of what is left of humanity. Al seems to be the first on board with the move because there are no new stories where she is at, so obviously she needs to move on. I liked the way Morgan asked her in a matter of fact way saying "I am moving on tomorrow, please join me!" Of course he told her about Alexandria and all the other places he knew.

I know Charlie is just a little girl, but if I were one of the crew, I would have a long talk with that girl. There is nowhere left for her to run. If she runs off, and the other cannot find her, by necessity the group will have to move on - with or without her.

I understand the parts of Luciana and Victor. For them this "new" house full of wine and music is a break from the death they have seen. It is like a little respite, or an oasis in the middle of the desert for them. If I were with them, I would join Victor in getting drunk, and Luciana in playing music. However, because Morgan told me of a better land with other people, I would join Morgan in his return to Alexandria. I think both Luciana and Victor will come on board. There is nothing left for them at that house. Take a few bottles of wine and move on!

Will John and June join Morgan? I think that June will persuade John it is in their best interest to go with Morgan. It would not be good for them to remain alone.

I cannot see Alisia being left behind. What is left of Fear the Walking Dead? All of her family is now dead. She has no reason to stay behind when she could have a future in Alexandria, or the Kingdom, or the Hilltop, or the Sanctuary. Morgan could say it would be what her mother would want. There is no doubt in my mind Madison would want her daughter to return with Morgan.

I have no idea what the storm is going to deliver the stalwart crew. I shall see next week at the same time. The walkers flying around was amusing! I guess they would hate to eat and run, but they wouldn't have much of a choice in the matter.

With all due respect, I think adding Morgan to the lineup has been a plus for Fear The Walking Dead, and for me it is getting more interesting. I think they have many more adventures to go! Note: everything I said about what might happen is sheer speculation!

Lol the opening scene with the zombies literally flying in the air was cool. Wait, Morgan wants to go back to the Kingdom? Ok so the group found a new place to stay. Victor is funny after having too much wine. It wont be easy to get used to not having Madison in the group. The group right now feels so small and incomplete, just Victor, Alicia and Luci? The only character that I find to be somewhat interesting from Althea's group is John. So Alicia wants to go help some random people that could be dead? Dumb decision. And the ridiculous post-apocalyptic reporter keeps on going. Luciana says to Victor ''What are we doing here?'' That's an excellent question indeed. John just wants to play a game, that's wholesome. And the kid run away, who cares, really. Victor is an alcoholic now. I love flying zombies. So in this episode pretty much nothing happened but it was entertaining, nothing great though. My rating is 7/10.

4x9 Rating: 6.8/10

Storyline: A powerful storm tears through the woods, blowing away walkers, while Althea's SWAT van sits unmoved.

Earlier that day, Morgan kills walkers and radios Althea to inform her he plans on heading back to Virginia and he wants her to drive him.

Later, he tells John and June his plans and suggests they all join him, but John claims he wants to take everyone to his cabin when he's feeling better. Morgan says he's already made up his mind and he's leaving tomorrow, but he will try to pass by before to say goodbye and he hopes John changes his mind.

Then, Morgan visits a drunk Strand at a mansion and invites him and a depressed Luciana to accompany him back to Virginia. They scoff and say their apocalypse road trip days are over. Morgan asks about Alicia and they reveal that she's been living outside of the house in the garden for the past week.

Morgan investigates and finds ominous notes that read "Help". He finally locates her by a gate killing walkers and he asks about the notes. She says she didn't write them but someone has been planting them on the walkers. Morgan asks her to join him on his trip but Alicia says she wants to stay to help whoever's writing those notes.

Back at the bus, June asks John if he's sure about returning to his cabin, while outside, Althea saves Charlie from a river walker. In the same spirit, Strand saves Luciana from a walker that wanders into the mansion living room.

Back on the bridge, June advises Charlie to think about what happened with the walker and then leaves with Al to figure out why walkers are washing up. Alicia tells Morgan she has a lead on where the note-writer could be staying in.

June and Al discover a box left on the road that reads, "Take what you need, leave what you don't. See you further up on the road." They find MRE's and supplies and Al decides to record it. June asks her about John's interviews and Al says she only knows about her Laura and Naomi aliases.

Meanwhile, Morgan tells Alicia how his friend was right about him needing people. Suddenly, a walker appears with a "help" note nailed to its face and Alicia kills it, urging Morgan they need to hurry.

On the bus, John hand-makes a game of Scrabble for Charlie to get her out of her shell. He recalls how he didn't use to talk either due to of a bad thing he did, but it all changed when he found someone to talk to. He briefly leaves to kill a walker outside and Charlie uses the opportunity to escape.

Morgan and Alicia arrive at the construction site and find another note. They cautiously investigate inside one of the farms, where they find a dozen or so walkers outside of a room. Morgan leads them outside so Alicia can dump logs from a crane on them.

She rushes inside to help the person in need, but it has turned. She lunges at the walker in disbelief and Morgan kills it. He tells her he's been like that for days and there's nothing she could have done. Devastated, Alicia says her mom would have saved him but Morgan tells her that Strand and Luciana need her. She claps back that Morgan could be there for them, too.

Later, John visits Strand at the mansion to ask for help in finding Charlie, to which he reluctantly agrees to, and they both drive off to search for her.

Back on the road, June laments to Althea that she's not the Laura John fell in love with. She explains that was a scared version of her, and she's afraid if she returns to the cabin with him he'll realize she's not who he thinks. Al doesn't buy it and reminds her she's not as different as she thinks. They decide to head back to the truck when they sense a storm coming their way.

Suddenly, the hurricane from the beginning hits, prompting Alicia to leave Morgan behind and to head off on her own. Meanwhile, Luciana finds Charlie sneaking around downstairs of the mansion. Scared, she sprints into the storm while Luciana runs after her.

Elsewhere, Al and June get stuck in the truck by the storm, which gets pelted with walkers from the wind.

This Season is not on the potential of Season 3, that was a banger of a season but this is sloppy, no action, no horror. What is going on with this show.

Killing Nick ruined the show. Who thought killing the most interesting character from Fear and replacing him with the most boring character from The Walking Dead was a good idea? That idiot should be fired.

Season 4 is not canon in my mind. Everything about this season sucks. Go back to the dam and give us the answers we want from there. And use the original cast.

We waited all summer for this? Terrible, unrealistic special effects. Sorry...your worst storm isn't going to blow people around. There is no direction. Lackluster characters without direction. Stop bringing The Walking Dead into this show. You already ruined it by bringing the most boring character from TWD to it. Then you kill off the main stars without having anyone interesting to fill the void. I give this 1-2 seasons max before it's cancelled at this rate.

My experience with Fear was watching the first few episodes and turning off after realizing the slow boring soap opera, then after watching a few episodes from seasons 2 and 3, I started watching the 4th season after TWD self-detonated. Season 4 started well enough then it also self-detonated. At the half season mark we had our Z-Team. Z for Zero, not Zombie. Cowboy John, Nurse June with multiple names, Backstabbing Charlie, Morg the Kill/No Kill Monk, Al SWAT Videographer with fashionable hair, and some of our past favorites Alycia (now also Kill/No Kill), Luciana, Victor the Drunk. They were last seen at a campfire telling stories, and we were all on the edge of our seats as to what these interesting and exciting people will do. NOT!

Second half opens up. Not with our new Z-Team. But with Morg killing zombies for supplies, and, WAIT FOR IT, He's decided to go back to TWD. Wow. What an idiot. He just couldn't get enough of Rick the Dick's speeches. He asks Al to drive him. And visits everybody, who are all over the place. Cowboy John is in an old bus with June and Charlie. Charlie is now a mute. Maybe it's cheaper for the budget if she doesn't speak. They decline Morg's offer to go with him to TWD.

Morg goes to Victor and Luciana who are in a fancy house. Me think it's better than a rundown bus on a bridge. Vic is getting wasted on the wine from the cellar, and Luc is listing to some soul music on the turntable. Not bad. They decline Morg's offer to go to TWD. Morg finds Alycia and she also declines TWD. Alycia is on a new mission. Since she lost everything she wants to be like her mother and help people now. The Kill/No Kill Theme. Morg decides to help Alyc and they walk 10 MILES to find and help a guy attaching help notes to zombies. This is some serious ridiculous crap. Alyc was a killing machine in the first half, now she wants to help people. What are we to make of all this? Are we to envision the enlightenment of Alyc's heart. Now she is Ms. No Kill. Seems like a theme. Morg, Carol, CORAL, even Rick the Dick who gave his word to the Savior prisoners then killed them, is now No Kill Dick who wouldn't kill Neeg. Incomprehensible!

What is the point of this show? The best part is seeing Vic getting wasted on wine, then killing a zombie behind the oblivious Luc who's blasting soul music. At least that was funny.

So the 8 survivors are split into pairs. Morg and Alyc find the note maker, dead and zombiefied. They start heading back and get stuck in a storm and split up. Morg says they need shelter, Alyc like an idiot heads out on her own. Morg decided to help Alyc. Alyc completely disregards Morg. Stupid. Charlie is supposedly depressed and distraught, will not speak and eventually runs away. Cowboy John enlists drunken Vic to search for her. Meanwhile Charlie was heading to Luc to drop off a book. June and Al get stuck in the SWAT van watching zombies flying from a tornado.

Where is this all leading to? Why are these people so stupid? Is this show about zombies written by zombies? Why do we bother to continue watching? Why am I even bothering to write anymore?

The only entertainment at this point is to make fun of this show. There's little else. The characters act too stupid to live. The zombies are ok, but we've seen all that before. Take a look at Al's hair. Are these people in survival mode. Or did she somehow find time to go to a hair salon. June or whatever her name is, is speaking with Al that John might not love her if he knew who she really was. Are we supposed to get invested in these moron's love life? Alycia was a killing machine and now she's trying to find a new meaning in life in the alternative No Kill scenario. Morg, now realizes that Fear is a loser show and wants to go back to Rick The Dick, and gives some nonsense explanation that he needs to let them know that they were right. Nonsense. And even after he's made up his mind to leave, rather than trying to get ready, he goes with Alyc to save someone. Charlie is a mute, depressed and suicidal, then takes off. Not smart. Morg offers everyone including John the Cowboy a safe place. John says no he'll go back to the cabin with June and Charlie, without even asking them. At least Vic was getting wasted and Luc was listening to tunes. That's something.

Rather than a show about realistic survivors all working together, we have contrived soap opera setup with people doing stupid things.

Zombie Apocalypse written by Zombies.

Having failed to find himself in Tennessee and Arkansas, Morgan finally gets the picture in Texas, in a process that sees him involved (at times almost complicit) in the collapse of an effective, law-abiding settlement and the death of two key characters in the out-West series in which he is a guest. And now to top that it seems he was only passing through and wants to turn tail (on the bad leg he has acquired in the course of his adventures) and go back to Virginia, having only spent a few weeks at what he (and we) thought was his destination! What's more he has every intention of having Al (a breath-of-fresh-air Season 4 character the makers did manage to come up with) take him there!

From a viewer's perspective, this looks like asset-stripping prior to liquidation, does it not?

But back to the world of FTWD and TWD, to recall how it was noted in the former quite a long time ago that certain eccentricities of personality wouldn't survive long in the circumstances of the intense process of natural selection being imposed on survivors. Yet our Morgan is fussy enough to move at will from east to west (and back) in order to get his mind right again. Alicia meanwhile has her project of the week risking life and limb in saving an individual person who can't it turns out be saved. Luciana is so far gone that she leaves the door open as she goes running off after Charlie, because she realises she has to get over her hate for the person who murdered Nick.

Sadly, this kind of angst and faux sensitivity has no place in the new world. If Luciana (perhaps rightly) accepts that Charlie is a kid who did not know what she was doing when she killed Nick - let's say as opposed to believing she should execute the person who killed her lover; then when she gives chase she does at least SHUT THE DOOR.

It's so obvious that it's just ludicrous to imagine anything else.

Victor shares his luxury bolt-hole with Luciana and insists on getting tipsy on fine wines. That is at least in keeping with the character and a thing a real person might do - even in these dystopian circumstances. But everybody else is doing implausible stuff - up to and including cowboy-cop John (the other great hope of the season), who now has his own wild goose chase to go on notwithstanding his recovery from a gunshot wound.

It's one he let himself in for (apparently) by leaving Charlie for a few minutes thinking up her next word for home-made Scrabble (giving the poor mixed-up kid the chance to run off). If we in audience-land could see that coming, why the **ck couldn't a well-trained police officer?

It's just one unrealistic thing after another, and that gets a person dead.

Or indeed, those who behave in such a slapdash way are already dead in the world of FTWD/TWD. So it's just not to be tolerated, sorry...

As if that were not enough, "People Like Us" - despite NOT being a flashback to earlier times - IS NOT IN COLOUR. Or worse, it's HARDLY in colour.

Why?

Who asked for that?

Who needs that?

What perverse artistic need in the makers does that silly trick serve?

And, then there was the stupidly, unprecedently abrupt way the episode ended

Characters running in the same loops, making similar stupid choices and cliched plot. This episode was setting a stage to divide the characters in 4 groups and now next few episodes will be about their inter-personal dynamics and jumping from one group to another. Weather shift was a good change though.

After deciding that Madison, basically the only one capable of (sometimes, at least) making smart, hard and boss decisions, this show probably won't survive for long. I mean I'm not really surprised. This ultra-dysfunctional family of idiots is almost eradicated by now, so my new motivation for watching this show is to hope that the last one of them also dies. Alicia: Please be next in line!

I'm thankful that Alicia's annoying, irredeemable, future serial killer brother who was also a sociopath with poor judgement regarding strangers got killed off by the backpacking uncharismatic weirdos.

Travis the cringy messy mix of an emotional beta male, yet also an unstoppable fighting machine gets killed off by a random bullet through a chopper. Lamest on-screen death so far!

Nick the irresponsible junkie with magical charisma that strikes awe in the hearts of everyone he meets finally meets someone who isn't awed and gets killed by a backstabbing orphan girl who seemed intelligent and likable the first episode we met her, then gets super boring and anonymous after that. BORING!

Madison almost had a worthy death, which would have been to die while protecting the people she loved. HOWEVER: The only reason she died was because her children decided to stay put inside of a car while a horde of undead neatly and timely got to surround them even though they had loads of time to, oh I dunno, START UP THE CAR AND DRIVE AWAY WHILE HONKING THE HORN TO PULL AWAY THE UNDEAD?!??!? The only good character with some decision making skills (besides Daniel Salazar who is randomly missing every half a season) is now dead. How will this show survive when she could not? (Also: The wall-fence behind where she stood when the undead approached her in her final moments looks perfectly climbable and she could have used it to escape unto higher ground. Which reminds me that I think it's weird that they didn't have ONE place inside the stadium that was accessible only by ladder, seeing as the undead can't climb. More idiocy. Her death, however, was off-screen, so maybe they'll bring her back like the last main character who "died" in a fire, namely Daniel.

God, I hope Alicia dies! Then we can hopefully have Daniel and Strand fight to the death. That reminds me of how sick I am of Strand and his naive tendency to rely on criminals from his past and how it always go wrong. The best end-game here would be Daniel Salazar killing off the remaining boring characters and running his own little survivors camp.

Oh, and I even forgot until just now that there was a character named Ophelia. That should speak for itself about how "exciting" she was.
