FTWDTT 099 – Gone (S7E16)

Talking Through Gone!
For this episode 99 of Fear the Walking Dead Talk Through, Kyle, Brian, and LT talk through Season 7 Episode 16 of Fear the Walking Dead titled Gone, written by Ian Goldberg and Andrew Chambliss and directed by Sharat Raju. Morgan finds a new ally who turns out to be more trouble than he bargained for.
What the hell is happening!
Hey Surviving! We did it! We survived Season 7 of Fear the Walking Dead. Man, we are glad that you stuck through this with us; there were some good parts of this season, but a lot of it was all over the place. But now we are left with the return of Madison, her meeting with Morgan, and the face-off with, newly revealed baby snatchers, PADRE. It took a lot to get here with the direction they took with our people and the so-called war with Strand at the Tower to now. Season 8 will be all about PADRE and how this fits in the bigger TWD Universe? CRM? Rick Grimes? Or is this going to be completely detached from that, and they go it on their own. I hope we get more to connect all of the shows, but I don’t know if that is even a goal of theirs after this season. Let’s just hope PADRE doesn’t take the Teddy route and nuke the whole place because If I see another sepia filter, I’m going to lose my SH$T!
Brian joined us in the middle as he was still trying to finish watching the episode before we started recording, and he called in using his phone, so it might jump a little here and there. Also, stay tuned as our next recording will be the 100th episode of Fear the Walking Dead Talkthough, and we are bouncing a few ideas to have something that all our listeners can participate in before things start back up again.
So, Enjoy as Kyle, LT, and ‘Phone Brian’ discuss the Season 7 Finale of Fear the Walking Dead, Episode 16, Gone.

We want to start offering Patrons a real reason to stay on our Patreon and to get more people to become Patrons. As such, we are going to start experimenting with bringing you some new content that will really make it worth your while to be subscribed.
We are going to try offering Patrons early access to our regular episodes. These versions of the episodes will be less polished than the final version of the podcast, will largely be uncensored, may contain things we fix up in the final version (like when we speak over each other, awkward silences, etc.), and content that we remove from the final version and may not have all of the sound effects mixed in properly (and in the case of this episode, doesn’t have the beginning and ending music mixed in at all).
To do this, we edited a different version of the podcast where we’re all on one single track and only edited major things. Aside from that, the process is similar to how we’ve been doing it. We think, at least from an editing perspective, this was a major success. In fact, this process may influence how we edit the main version of the podcast going forward.

Some blog post comments…
“there were some good parts of this season, but a lot of it was all over the place” – very little was good in the long run but overall this is technically a fact.
It was more the disagreement over the tower than a war with anyone!
“If I see another sepia filter, I’m going to lose my SH$T!” – lol!
On to the podcast…
“…ignore all the murders – he’s good now” lol Mike.
See LT, this is what you get for snoring Jenny – it got worse. Lol. Jenny was not a bad villain and her stuff was actually decent; everything after her has been blah. 🙁
Kill them all Madison! 🙂 Overall, Madison was Madison Kyle but the whole how she’s there and the scuba rank needs just didn’t feel real so it made her also feel off to me if that makes sense; like she’s 80% which is better than most characters at 100% but still it didn’t feel fully Madison yet to me. Maybe now that she’s unchecked and if they get Morgan out of her way she’ll be full 100% Madison but until then it’s a case as always of “we’ll see”.
If it’s the Madison return I might continue next season but if it’s the Morgan show or Morgan featuring Madison in a handicapped role to make him seem better I’m probably out honestly.
“The sand people travel in a line so you can’t tell there numbers” – lol LT Attenborough.
The oxygen need is problematic LT.
“Maybe she missed!” – you take it back LT, Madison would never! Who do you think you are sir 4B? Madison Clark doesn’t miss. 🙂
Oh Kyle, we all want Madison to return to the lead but it won’t happen. 🙁 Tragically it will be like LT and Brian are saying – the Morgan Jones train will still be pushed and the best we can hope for is made son gets screen time as a second main because with all the potential cast as they said it will be all the time for them or no time for her. Sadly I don’t think the Madison diehards like me will be fully happy – yes she’s back but it’s not her leading like we really want to see. I just REALLY hope we don’t see her putting up with Morgan’s bullsh*t and letting him lead unless it’s part of some false sense of security plan before she takes him out because Madison isn’t for second place unless it’s by her choice for a plan!
I mean…it could be babysitting of LT. 🙂 He does really funny Bill commercials though…let him run free enough to keep doing those. Ha
Great feedback from all the fans per usual!
