Talking Through Odessa!

For this episode 102 of Fear the Walking Dead Talk Through, Kyle and LT talk through Season 8 Episode 3 of Fear the Walking Dead titled Odessa, written by Ian Goldberg and Andrew Chambliss and directed by Ron Underwood. Mo’s hunt to prove PADRE’s true intentions has her in over her head as she’s drawn into the larger web of secrets.

P.A.D.R.E. beginnings are revealed, but the Lord of the Flies’ outcome is not believable.

So, we finally got some backstory on P.A.D.R.E., which was nice to have after all this time, but the current state just left us with many more questions and didn’t make much sense. But this is what we’ve come to expect from these showrunners. Throwing stuff to the wall and taking what probably stuck for like 2 seconds and then just running with it. So we find out the children of the early beginnings of P.A.D.R.E. experienced the typical ZA trama, dad getting eaten by walkers because one of them with their stupid antics caused it, and here we are. Shrike, otherwise formally known as Sam, and her brother Ben took over P.A.D.R.E. instead of helping others, and they started stealing kids from their parents for who only knows why, so that is the story. We can only guess how this ends up, but we really can. P.A.D.R.E. will fall, and hopefully, the misguided duo will die, and everyone will scatter into the wind on another adventure. We do get Madison getting the ultimate guilt trip with the realization of showing everyone else that P.A.D.R.E. is a lie. She killed DOVE’s mom, so this, in turn, leads to the plot decision that only Morgan is the answer. Yeah, okay, we get it. This is, in the end, the Morgan show. We do get the one only awesome part of this episode. The return of Daniel, who, with his group of angry parents, starts their plan to take on P.A.D.R.E with the help of Madison and the gang, so we will see how that goes. We only have three episodes left until the mid-season finale, so you have my guess as to what to expect.

So join Kyle and LT as they discuss this episode of Fear the Walking Dead, Season 8, Episode 3 – Odessa.

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.
