    The BEST stories were the simplistic ones. No big bad to go to war against, no ridiculous nuclear blasts, just people trying to survive in an inhospitable world. Grotesque was a fantastic episode. My favorite was when Nick was staring down that dude walking with the walkers... you could see the dudes face registering "oh, $#!+"... Although not an entire episode, the beginning of Seed was a good example of survival by whatever means... when Rick knocked the can of dog food out of Carl's hand... Daryl nabbed an owl... gotta do what ya gotta do.

      @@brianachim2670 I agree, motivations in season 7 and 8 were questionable at best, but pioneres from season 6 and all that plotline with Teddy and nukes was pretty entertaining. It's good that John died and Al left there so the showrunners couldn't ruin them.
      I would have stopped watching after season 7 if it wasn't for the return of Troy who carried the whole season 8.
      And the ending was the dumbest shit i've seen, like why did they rename PADRE to MADRE, why was that necessary??
      And why the fuck would Dwight and Sherry return to the sanctuary, wasn't it destroyed a few episodes ago 💀

    That’s why Nick is such a great character, he’s not a savage or cold like Rick at his worst, he just has no care for his own life. He just roams and does whatever he wants to with no care for himself.

      In fairness, he was killed off because the actor wanted out rather than being forced out like certain others in the franchise. It is disappointing, but considering the direction the show went in... he arguably made the right call. Any time I recommend Fear to others, I typically tell them to watch the first three seasons (which I actually prefer over most of the mainline show myself) and to strongly consider skipping the rest.

    I recently watched season 2 and this episode in particular and can't believe its already been 8 years! It made since that Nick embraced this post-apocalyptic world faster than others because he was already alone before the world ended so it was like second-nature to him. This was definitely one of the best episodes in the entire Fear the walking dead in my opinion. I wish Nick would have lived longer but we got what we got😂😭 Would you do any environmental stories on Fear?
