1. What was that N.O.A.H. bit at the end?

3. Hope this is the beginning of a new plot line.

Noah. Who is Noah? The man who built the ark to save humanity from the impending flood. So, perhaps the man on the radio is the guy who has figured out that this virus has been unleashed to clear the planet. Maybe it wasn't done intentionally, but when it got out of hand, the group that started it took to the skies (i.e. Most likely there is space station of survivors circulating the planet, waiting for the final purge to repopulate earth?) And this radio announcer is going to be the start of rebel force to hunt them down for answers- maybe even look for a cure?

Or, we have the coming of another season cliffhanger that will be resolved in the first few seasons because the guy is just a nutcase.

6. This reminds me of the story of the three little pigs.

The three little pigs post apocalypse. One little piggie built his fort without water; One little piggie built his fort by the sea with access to water and ice. Both little piggies are trying to hide from the Wolf. Which one will survive?

8. I just don't care anymore. I tried to like it. Tried and tried. nt

11. Me too. It's just so... Painful

If I had a quarter every time someone said 'give it to me, they're building a story.' 'give it time, they're building the characters.' I'd be the richest woman in my town.

By the 2nd episode of TWD I was emotionally connected to the characters. There was a story that built every week. There were protagonists and antagonists.

I hate every character on this show. Nothing is shocking. They are all loathsome. I am not emotionally invested in any of them. Their story is garbage. I hope they all die and the show ends.

9. Okay, the plot thickens.

Madison is channeling the Mexican version of American Horror Story, the Hotel season. It looks like sanctuary, but is it, really?

Looks like it can be manageable unless hordes of refugees find their way to the gates...D'oh!

Now we know where Nick gets his reckless behavior. Madison plays the ugly American and demands answers in gang territory because she suspects she has found a lead to Nick. Gangstas show incredible restrain and she manages to survive long enough to do another boneheaded move by turning on the hotel lights at nightfall. I can't even question the writing at this stage, because she's been consistent. Grizzly mama in the post zombie apocalypse must be a maddening role to play.

Alicia is the only thing that will keep her from getting killed for being dangerously loca.

Still don't understand Ofelia's story. Why is she returning to the USA?

And I think Travis is making a mistake to bring Chris back into the fold. He will not survive based on Madison's new rules.

10. By the way, "gringuito" does not translate to little white guy.

Maybe the slang version. But the correct translation is little North American or Brit.

12. Gangstas show incredible restraint...

that's what makes me cringe. Others are killed for much less and she barges in demanding answers and is allowed to live.

WHY? They don't know her and they don't owe her. Meanwhile, they'll kill the daughter of one who tried to escape.

13. I like Kim Dickens' character on House of Cards

But, Madison is not very likable on Fear...

14. Madison's too fucking stupid to live.

There's absolutely no fucking way a thinking person would think that turning on all those lights would tell Nick that his mommy loves him and is waiting for him at that hotel.

They should be locking her up right next to Crazy Stabby Lady.
