Like last week, this episode is a shining example of an episode being greater than the sum of its parts, but we isolate the parts that aren’t as good or at least make us question.

On episode 83 of The Walking Dead Talk Through, Mark and I discuss The Walking Dead Season 9 Episode 1, the season premiere, titled A New Beginning. Mark loved it.

On this episode 51 of Fear the Walking Dead Talk Through, Kyle, Mark and I discuss Fear the Walking Dead Season 4 Episode 16, the season finale, titled …I Lose Myself. While not the worst episode, it certainly wasn’t the best either. It had some great moments, particularly the moments between John and June, but this episode suffered from the same unbelievable use of time and distance and plot points that stretched my suspension of disbelief beyond the breaking point. I still look forward to what the show will come up with next season… but my anticipation is nothing like it was at the end of season 3.

On this episode 50 of Fear the Walking Dead Talk Through, Kyle, Mark and I discuss Fear the Walking Dead Season 4 Episode 15, titled I Lose People… This was a very good episode that finally made it clear what the showrunners were trying to do with this show, though it wasn’t without fault.

On this episode 47 of Fear the Walking Dead Talk Through, we discuss Fear the Walking Dead Season 4 Episode 12, titled Weak. This episode featured the directorial debut of Colman Domingo, and he did a good job in his first outing, with a well acted and directed story, that had a few negatives that I can’t really fault him for. We liked it, but not a lot. That said, it was better than last week.
