Fear the walking dead season two episode two full#
I can’t help but feel that, if this were The Walking Dead, Rick and company would have already cleared this island of zombies and set up a miniature fiefdom (only to be attacked by, I don’t know, a container ship full of thousands of zombies?) like they did in the prison. George and Melissa’s final moments with daughter Willa really evoke the basement deaths of the Cooper family from Night Of The Living Dead, in a good way. This is the first of what will be many reminders that there’s nothing safe, and that sometimes, by saving people, you end up hurting them more. The less jaded characters still think they can find a safe haven from the zombies and human predators. These people are having a relatively good life until it all falls apart in very emotional fashion. It’s peaceful, the weather’s good, there’s access to fish… and yet, it’s not enough to counteract the psychological trauma of near-constant death being around every corner. Leonard) pairs wonderfully with Adam Davidson’s direction in the island scenes. The melancholy script (written by Kate Barnow and Brett C. The final shot, of the little boy leaving the boat and potential safety to go back with his big brother, is effective, particularly once Seth ends his mother’s undead life. As it turns out, he’s going to get his wish sooner rather than later, as the little sister gets into the “power pill” supply and offs herself, only to become a zombie and attack her parents. The oldest boy Seth (Jake Austin Walker) takes after the father, which means that he’d rather his family die together than go on the run. They know they’re just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic, hence why Melissa (Catherine Dent) wants her son and daughter to be taken off the island. We meet these people, they seem like nice enough people, but there’s a fatalism to their preparations. That’s the best thing that the episode does. Of course, George knows enough to know that there is no hope, hence the Jonestown preparations. Plus, they’ve got one another, a family unit that, until Maddie and company arrive, suffers no losses. And yet, there’s still enough benefits to sticking around-water, power, relative security-that would make it hard to give up. As Nick says, George is planning a Jonestown situation, which… if you’ve got zombies washing up on the beach and a few hundred zombies in a resort town a few hundred miles away, I could see how that is a hopeless situation.
It’s an interesting take on just how some people are going to approach the zombie apocalypse. And there’s definitely something going on. Well, not survivalist, but definitely self-reliant.

That leaves our more naive characters, plus Nick, to go off and make friends with George (David Warshofsky) and his survivalist family. Strand isn’t going to leave his boat, and it makes sense to me that Salazar won’t leave him alone with the boat, just in case he decided to take off. I like the approach Fear The Walking Dead takes to splitting up its cast. Of course, there’s always a dark secret with these kind of families, because this is Fear The Walking Dead, and if a family appears nice and kind and welcoming, there’s something wrong with them. There’s water, power, food, and lots of chain-link fences to keep the zombies out. A survivalist family has taken up residence in the area. Assuming, of course, other people haven’t gotten there first, which they have. Fortunately, Strand has maps, and he and the others find a secluded cove at a nature reserve, which means ranger stations, which means supplies.
