Better than the last few episodes...
RSO_Media19 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This episode was pretty good (That's "good" relative to the rest of the season), so, of the first half of the final season, there have been two decent episodes (2 & 6), and the rest were nearly unwatchable... And really, because the other episodes were so bad, the stakes in 'All I See Is Red' are significantly lowered to the point where I'm kinda' just glad it's over, at least until the next half of the season... hopefully PADRE is done for good and I never have to hear about them again. At the very least, I hope they rebrand so I can disassociate them from the last few episodes...

This whole PADRE storyline in the first half of season 8 is like if you'd skipped ALL of the Savior arc in season seven and the first half of season eight of the main show, and then just picked up the story from that point in the middle of season eight. You'd have no context for anything. Eventually, you just tune out because it wasn't important enough to the writers or showrunners to properly establish any of the characters or story, so why should we, the audience, care?

Speaking of which, I didn't care for that Dwight & Sherry ending either. "It didn't work out, sorry you missed it hitting the skids during that eight year time jump before the season started." Again, no context. I have no training as a professional television writer, but I'm positive I can do it if that's the level of storytelling required to make it to air.

Mid-season Finale, Is That Still a Thing?
WordsworthStone16 June 2023
I'll put it out there, I appreciate the Walking Dead family taking the time and effort to close out storylines for beloved characters that we literally grew up with. Silent claps like we're at a poetry reading with SDH.

And thank you, for returning to serial episodes and linear storytelling. Following one or two characters per episode and having to wait weeks for the other characters was NOT the business.

But really, this final season is like radiation therapy for a zombie bite, no one should feel this pain trying to delay the inevitable. Why couldn't they leave it with Alicia's vague departure and finally finding PADRE?

(TLDR; RANT)

If you need to do a time jump, it means you want to reset the status quo, but not a blank slate, it just gives the audience the call to adventure--like--ooh, what happened? And the transition from the past to present always haunts them or there would be no story. Okay...so...

YES, the past should haunt characters who do a complete 180 of story arcs and personalities they spent 7 seasons building. This was the FTWD family, they don't abandon anybody, no matter what... But somehow Palpatine returned--nix that--they abandoned their children to a low-level indecisive villainess. WHAT?!

And I thought this was The Walking Dead, where even beloved characters are not safe, everyone is always at risk. Unless they need a break but now it's crunch time for ratings, then there's super plot armor, ghosts return from the dead. Hey I got an idea, the next show, let's go with.....

RETURN TO THE WALKING DEAD.

The dead rise again, not Walking Dead dead but like Jesus dead. Or we should go with time-loops, that genre is sort of like the new zombie. It's still got traction.

Don't mind me, I'm just skipping along, cringe-watching every new episode, taking notes on how to survive bad parents in the nuclear apocalypse during the zombie apocalypse.

A Good-Bad Midseason Finale
justdan202316 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This whole episode starts off pretty rough, and ends on a rather high note. Unsurprisingly, the dialogues of this episode are still as stupid, bad and cringy as the other episodes. Also some of the lines are constantly getting reused.

And then, we have Shrike. The way she died is merely disappointing. I know, I know. The main characters wants to settle this in peace and everything, but it could have been executed better, don't you think? In fact, they could have brought the Padre arc to a much more satisfying ending. I mean, I'm fine with what we have right now, but it just left a bit of a bitter taste in me.

But on the other hand, the directing, soundtracks, and cinematography are quite decent for a change, and the cliffhanger is thrilling and well done. We also get to see Morgan finally going back to Alexandria!

Overall, this episode is somewhere in the middle, and the first half of this season has been in the middle too, having to have both good and bad episodes. To be honest, I'm hoping that the second half will be good too. So yeah, let's just hope.

"All I See Is Red" is a mid-season finale with a bad first half and great second half, also a farewell to Morgan Jones, a good mid-season finale
Holt34419 June 2023
Michael E. Satrazemis directed the mid-season finale of the final season of Fear TWD, his direction and visual storytelling was actually quite great. It was written by Andrew Chambliss & Ian Goldberg, it went from bad to decent, the writing. The cinematography was great but the editing was the opposite of that, the editing is season 7 bad. The episode looks great, nothing wrong there, with some great shots and camera angles. The sound editing and musical score is fantastic.

Morgan fights his past as he and Madison race to stop PADRE's expansion.

"All I See Is Red" is the sixth episode of the eighth and final season, it's an average episode, both good and bad at times all depending on how much you want to criticize. Episode six actually has good drama and scenes with emotion, also a decent send off for Morgan Jones (the actor left the show). Performances? Lennie James is the best and the worst performance goes to Maya Eshet who plays Shrike. The second half has most actors giving good performances. Lennie James is great and it's so unfortunate how he gets this script for his final episode, this episode is all over the place and serves as a terrible farewell to Morgan Jones. Yes, it's quite believable why Morgan is back in Clear mode, but honestly how the episode was written and edited it just wasn't any good. Lennie James and the character of Morgan Jones deserved better, he deserved a greater arc.

That opening sequence was full of bad dialogue and writing, how they didn't even show us Morgan being a killing machine is a damn shame. The second half, the writing improves and becomes bearable, this is where Lennie James truly shines. There was also some true emotional depth in that second half of the episode. The callback to the pilot episode of The Walking Dead made me smile, that radio message made me have some hope that Morgan will return (possibly the Rick and Michonne show) but the final mysterious scene gave some hype to an episode you could easily say is an ending. But this isn't the end, we haven't even gotten a reunion with Madison and Strand and Luciana. I'm sure that's coming.

The first half of the final season was only okay, it went from average to bad and back to average, not how it should be. As a mid-season finale, this was mostly satisfying and good. I'm glad Madison was in the episode as she's the second lead but this was all about Morgan Jones and Lennie James who have played the role since 2010. This was a good farewell episode!

THAT ENDING IS SOMETHING ELSE
nikitamedianik16 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
First of all, it is worth noting that contrary to the scripted mess, this series turned out to be very emotional in terms of nostalgia. Morgan's arc got a beautiful finale, and perfectly summed up the enormous journey of one of the most complex characters in television history. Eastman ... eh, so many memories. However, we're in no hurry to say goodbye to Lenny James, because THE LAST MINUTES OF THE SERIES IS SOMETHING ELSE.

The teaser for Rick, the teaser for Alexandria. Please, no, I'm begging you AMC - we need Morgan in the Grimes series!

As for the main plot, Shrike got an interesting ending - the woman who took children away from their parents under the pretext that their connection meant nothing, couldn't close the love for her long-dead father. And it's not a bad reference to the fact that the son wanted his father's binoculars back, for it's not just a thing, but strategically important information. Daniel was referring to his young years when he was forced to kill for the first time, Dwight and Sherry finally realizing that together they are chaos (I don't know why, but I immediately thought of Kim and Jimmy from Better Call Saul)

Finally, who's that at the end? The military stuff, the same hammer Maddison used to kill Troy ... but the hands are female. Maybe Troy's daughter is going for revenge? But where did she get Alisha's hand? So many questions, the writers have finally woken up and remembered what a strong cliffhanger is. The second half of the season will be special as Strand, Maddison, Troy and all the classic FTWD characters go into one last fight! Can't wait to see the final six episodes! Like I said before: it's not about the story anymore. It's about our favorite characters.

All I see is ridiculous.
simianfriday16 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Wow this was terrible.

So the episode opens with Morgan waking up on the railroad tracks surrounded by dead walkers after having killed them all with his axe. Madison had to knock him out because while he was killing the walkers he swung his axe at her. The next scene is in the train car while Madison and Morgan (I'll call the pair M&M from here on out) chat a bit about what's going on with Morgan. Apparently he's losing his mind again because of the traumatic events he's been through with his wife and son (Jenny and Duane) - and now again with Grace and Mo - and that's why he's writing crazy things on the wall with Grace's blood and why he swung his axe at Madison, because "all he sees is red" now. Or something like that.

Now, I'm just going to ignore how they're playing it fast and loose with the depiction of PTSD here and instead just recap the episode in all its absurd glory.

1. How did Morgan get out of the train car? He was literally locked inside last we saw him (and the episode recap made a point of replaying the scene where Shrike says "make sure he can't get out" - so... how did he get out exactly? This isn't the first time this season has just jumped forward in order to completely gloss over something like this because they're not sure how to write it. I'm sure it'll be the last time it ever happens though - it certainly won't happen again in this episode anyway. That would just be silly.

2. Morgan was supposedly slaughtering walkers left and right as well as writing crazy scribbles on the train car walls with Grace's blood and yet... he hasn't got a single drop of blood on him. Not his clothes, his face, his beard, nothing - well... almost nothing - at the end of the scene he holds up his hand and he's got some blood on his palm - but that's it. The complete lack of attention to detail is astonishing.

3. They're positioning Morgan to be a badass walker killer who can single-handedly take out a horde of walkers without even remembering it - and they established Madison as an absolute beast with her hammer a couple episodes ago. This is all clearly leading up to the inevitable scene where M&M take on wave after wave of walkers all by themselves in order to rescue Mo. I can't wait.

4. They arrive at the PADRE shipping containers and Morgan loses his mind again. Why Daniel hasn't offered him any of his dementia curing Yerba maté yet is beyond my comprehension. Maybe Daniel just thinks the whole thing is funny and has decided to keep all that sweet, sweet Yerba maté to himself.

5. They find out Mo is heading to the houseboat from the first episode of the season - you remember, it's the one in the swamp that almost sunk and killed them all. Mo is clearly a super smart leader to go back there. Not as smart as the writers though - that's for sure.

6. Anyway, they head out to try to find Mo, stopping along the way to argue with each other about who is going and who isn't (they all decide to go together - which is what they were doing in the first place, so it really makes you wonder what the point of that entire conversation was but whatever). Then they head out - directly into a horde of literally thousands of walkers. We've previously seen groups 2-3x this size get overrun by smaller groups of walkers - yet these lunatics are just walking right into them? What? How does this make sense? What is going on? Oooh boy! I can't wait to see how they get past that massive horde! This should be wild!

7. Never mind. They just cut back and forth between Mo, Shrike, and M&M, showing M&Ms group kill about half a dozen walkers, then Morgan flips out and it jump cuts ahead - conveniently after they *somehow* managed to get past the horde of literally thousands of walkers that were *RIGHT THERE* just a few moments ago. These freakout flash forward moments Morgan is having are doing a lot of favors for the hack writers on this show. I'm sure it won't happen again though. That would just be silly.

8. After a handful more freakout episodes Morgan finds himself at the houseboat (wow that was easy - he should keep having freakouts like this - it serves him well). He almost kills Mo because he's freaking out and thinks she's a walker. She stabs him to snap him out of it and then he passes out because he lost too much blood. It jump cuts again - surely it won't do so again, that would just be silly - and somehow we're supposed to believe that teeny tiny Mo, all by her little self, somehow dragged Morgan through the swamp and into the houseboat (where she zip tied his arm to the wall) all while avoiding the walkers on the way.

9. Also, Morgan isn't bleeding anymore from where Mo stabbed him. I just don't understand how that's possible unless Mo is a seasoned field medic and administered medical aid while dragging him through the swamp to the house boat - I suppose that's entirely reasonable to assume though, so never mind, forget I even mentioned it.

10. Morgan finds Madison's old oxygen tank from earlier in the season (speaking of which - why hasn't Madison needed that oxygen tank anymore? Hmm... Maybe Daniel has been sharing his Yerba maté with her) and gives it to Mo so she can swim out of the houseboat away from the walkers. It takes a lot of convincing - 5 minutes worth of dialog - but the walkers politely stand by doing nothing the whole time just to give the incredible drama time to play out.

11. Just as Morgan is about to be overrun by walkers and/or drown inside the houseboat he freaks out again and the scene jump cuts to Madison pulling him out of the swamp. This freakout jump cut power is something that Morgan really should have been utilizing since day one because it's doing wonders to get him out of tough scrapes. Maybe this is why Daniel isn't sharing his Yerba maté, because he doesn't want Morgan to lose this amazing super power. Anyway, I'm sure they won't do any more jump cuts in this episode. That would just be silly.

12. Shrike shows up and points a gun at Morgan. Morgan has another freakout but this time instead of a time jump, the freakout apparently conjures Shrike's father because he suddenly appears and starts crawling out of the swamp toward Shrike. Shrike can't bring herself to shoot him and so he munches on her a little bit. I wonder if Shrike tastes like chicken.

13. Somehow Daniel's entire group of disgruntled parents has been taken hostage by their own children. It's unclear how this happened, but it did. I'm not going to call this a jump cut because I said they wouldn't do another one of those in this episode. That would just be silly.

14. M&M convince the kids not to kill their parents and Mo decides she's going to leave PADRE and go with Morgan. June dragged Shrike back to the train car (there's been an awful lot of people dragged implausibly long distances in a short amount of time in this episode) and is about to kill her when Shrike's brother busts in (what's his name again? Chicken Little? No... that's not it). June leaves him to give his tearful goodbyes to Shrike while she exits the train car.

15. M&M are at the shoreline with Mo about to board a boat. Morgan says he has to leave the show to go find all his buddies from the original show who are now spinning off into their own shows, mini-series, and movies. He says that his time here on Fear was fun and all but the writing was too terrible for him to want to stick around for these last 5 or so episodes. Madison is just happy to finally have her show back, even if it's terrible now.

16. Dwight and Sherry bury Finch (oh, he's dead now - did I forget to mention that? Consider it mentioned). Sherry really needs some emotional support right now after burying her only son. Dwight's immediately breaks up with her because it's literally been 30 seconds and she's still upset about their dead son - women, amirite? Anyway Dwight's got his own thing going on and Sherry needs to come to terms with that. Secretly though, he's breaking up with her because he got a deal to appear in one of the spin-offs/movies and she didn't and he doesn't want things to get awkward.

17. The episode ends with a mysterious figure (their face is never revealed but it appears to be a woman) loading things into a duffel bag while listening to Madison on the radio saying they've overthrown PADRE and are looking to reunite parents with children. The last thing this person puts in the bag is Alicia's zombie arm. Common sense would dictate that this person can't actually be Alicia though because they had two arms. However, this is Fear the Walking Dead and somebody spontaneously growing back an arm wouldn't even crack into the top 10 dumbest things ever in this show.

Anyway, this episode is trash. This show is trash. We're almost done folks.

Possible Rick Grimes and Morgan reunion
tuncibalunci15 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The sheer mention of Rick Grimes always gives me goosebumps. The fact that Morgan is out now looking for him raises expectations for the second half of this season. Andrew Lincoln got casted for one scene in S4 of FTWD, so why not make a bit of a return now? Besides that, I'm glad they concluded the PADRE storyline because it was really weak and messy.

The acting seemed a lot better. Maybe it's because the writing improved a little bit. The villains Shrike and whatever her brother's name is are very uninteresting and unoriginal. They weren't terrifying at all, nor did I care about their backstory. A lot of inconsistencies happened throughout the season with occasional good moments and thankfully this episode is full of those good moments.

Also, I literally disagree with Dwight and Sherry about their breakup. The reasoning being that they're causing each other pain is simply BS. Dwight saying "maybe it's not Negan's or Shrike's fault" made me laugh out loud in disbelief. I feel like if you went through so much pain caused by bad guys in an apocalypse for 12 years then you should do the opposite and stay together and support each other coming back from this and finding peace. Like, it's the perfect opportunity now. I guess it was still a well acted and emotional scene, but that really left me wondering.

Lastly, the final scene is quite interesting as well. I think that was Alicia's hand, but I kinda don't believe it's her. Didn't the actress state that she's done with the show? Why would she even state that if she comes back literally next season?? I guess we'll find out. Overall, I'll give the episode a 7.5/10, rounding it up to an 8. I'll say it's as good as the King County episode.

The worst episode in the TWDU
dwarol26 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This is easily the worst episode in "The Walking Dead" universe.

The premise is that Morgan keeps slipping between Clear and Red modes. Time and time again he gets himself into a corner with the dead, goes into Red mode, and suddenly we jump forward into the future where Morgan comes back to Clear mode and is surrounded by all the dead he's dispatched. Once he's apparently even cleared most of the port's hundreds of dead.

We jump all over the place, from the train car to the houseboat to the port where each time Morgan goes into Red mode and dispatches them all. It's a joke. Any one of these incidents would have been a mid-season cliffhanger, but no, Morgan in Red mode is some kind of superhero killing machine. Stay out of his way or he'll cut you down too!

And then there's the sudden conversion of the PADRE kids by the end of the episode to decide to work with their parents instead of killing them. It makes no sense. The whole PADRE story line is silly in the first place. Those two kids running the show would have quickly been found out and dispatched early on by the first adult they recruited.

We're supposed to believe that 10 years or more after the apocalypse PADRE has a working locomotive which can move the train car around which has a working generator. Not only that, it also has working trucks and a working massive crane which can load a working container ship, along with somebody who knows how to load containers so the ship doesn't capsize. Somehow when the ship gets to all its seed ports it's supposed to be able to unload the containers, which will require other working cranes and trucks.

The episode ends with lots of maudlin callbacks to "The Walking Dead". It's supposed to tug at our emotional heart strings, but it comes across as shameless.

It's like the writers and show runners just don't care any more. The whole Walking Dead premise was always balanced on a knife edge. Without a lot of attention to detail and character motivation, it always could have easily slipped into C grade schlock. And here it has happened.

Great episode
AustinCinemaReviews15 June 2023
The first half of this season has definitely had its ups and downs, but in my opinion it closed it out strong with back to back solid and emotional episodes with 4 and 5, and now this episode which gave me the feeling of watching some of the older episodes of The Walking Dead. Lennie James I think may have given his best performance as Morgan. It wasn't perfect and definitely still had some moments that weigh it down a bit, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I am very thankful however to be done with the whole Padre plot. I think it was utterly ridiculous and could never get behind the 2 siblings as being these fearsome enemies. I am however a bit intrigued with the direction they are taking it now for the second half of this season. My favorite part of this episode was the closing moments that set up a big reunion and had Morgan reflect on his past that overall just got me very excited for the future. If Fear can capture what worked over these last couple of episodes, I think we could be in for a very promising second half and finish to this show.

I'm in disbelief ...
roberkules24 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
... that anyone here would rate this episode higher than 1 star... okay, for sentimental reasons, we all liked it some many seasons ago, give it 2 stars... or maybe you're drunk, 3 stars

any other rating can't be serious

I wish i could quit tv shows in the middle, this one definitely deserves it, but I gotta stick till the end :(

Dwight and Sherry breaking up makes total sense. I mean he explained it, right... it was not meant to be.

They just buried their kid and he's leaving her. Yes, right there, right when he finished closing up the grave.

Shrike just lets her father kill her just like Mo almost got herself killed in the train. Copy/paste Madison could have easily stopped Shrike's father before he bit her, but why bother, saves them the troubles of killing Shrike themselves.

I was wondering, did the kids in the firing squad scene actually line up with their parents :D and none of them fired? All of them, all of a sudden, came to their senses? Yeah, right

and what about those coordinates, they never cared to plan ahead and look for them? Now, after years they figured to maybe look for them? Luckily they found them, her dad was conveniently hanging around the house boat, attaboy!

It's hard to find any enjoyable moments/scenes in this episode (and season). Luckily I'm working on other things while watching this season on the side... don't try to focus on it :D.

Need better writing
e-70408-0887619 June 2023
The writing for the show has gotten terrible. The acting has been bad as well. The flashing red scenes, come off as red lazy. It would have been better actually seeing Morgan fighting, instead dumb flashbacks that you can't make out. It's like they're just trying to rush this along. I can't imagine this going another season. At this point I'm not enjoying the show, but I do want to see it wrapped up. Morgan is an awesome character, but they've over dramatized him and are trying to keep all the other characters on the same level. The show has lost it dept. They also shorted Dwight's character as well.

Fears Finest Hour?
elias-3401315 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Is this the best Fear the walking dead episode in years? We finally got 'Clear' Morgan for what is potentially his last episode in Fear and maybe even in the walking dead universe. The red filling the screen as Morgan goes into his insta kill mode was great. Although it would've been nice for one of his kill moments to be shown on screen. There are some full circle moments in this episode as Shrike finally gets bit and dies. (Well I hope so anyway). Thankfully the writers realised how bad of a character she was and decided to kill her off at the midway point instead of dragging her along for the rest of the show. Morgan makes it back to Virginia with Mo and sets on a quest to find Rick or head back to Alexandria. However, the show again jumps the ship with Dwight and Sherry. After finch dies they decide it's time to call it quits on the relationship. This decision came out of nowhere and makes it look like Dwight and sherry are also leaving the show. Hopefully not but we'll see what happens.

I cannot wait for this to end.
stoners-218 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The writing has been forced into lightning fast pace because it failed so bad last season. Twelve episodes instead of sixteen, so now there is no time to develop the story and connect with the characters or tension to build, everything is so forced I have not been emotionally vested in any of the deaths or plots. I didn't shed a tear for Morgan and Dwayne, Grace's death, Finch's death, Sherry and Dwight's break-up, none of it. The writing has been so bad, AND the Directors have been so bad they ruined my favorite TWD character Morgan Jones, and thank GOD this was his last appearance in FTWD, at least they can't ruin him any more. Just don't air the last six episodes weekly, dump all six at the same time so we can binge the rest, be done with it, and put it out of our memories forever like World Beyond.

A Solid Birthday Gift
fatless9918 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Back on the 18th of June 2017, Fear the Walking Dead Season 3 gave me the greatest birthday gift of all. The return of Daniel Salazar.

Now in 2023, the 18th of June returns and Fear has another gift for me. One almost as exciting as the return of Daniel, although not quite. But in the state the show is in it have me the only thing it could for me to be happy with my Fear episode gift this year. The departure of Morgan Jones from the show. YEEEEEEES!! HELLL YEEEEES!!!

Finally the most annoying character and the cause for the breaking of the show back in Season 4 has left and now the OG cast can be put to the forefront of the final 6 episodes. Should this have happened a while ago and more time given to the OGs? YOU BET. But I will take what they have gifted us. Finally the show can stop being the morgan show and with Dwight maybe off, it can stop being the stupid crossover gimmick show and return to what made those first three seasons so great.

I know that the writing may not improve but I would 100% rather spend these episodes with those great original characters rather than Morgzione, the Helpenator.

So the episode gets a an 8/10 not for what it is but for what it achieves in the end. It removes Morgan and Daniel also has a pretty good scene. But 8/10 for his removal but the writing was still extremely questionable but goodbye Morgan show. Hello again Fear the Walking Dead.

Here's hoping that they bring back the Season 1-3 opening title sequence for the final 6 episodes or at least the finale!

"All I see is nonsense"
luckydsjs19 September 2023
Warning: Spoilers
"PADRE ONE... do you copy?" If so, what are your intentions?"

"When I got here, you were killing then"- Madison Clark.

"It's not your fault Morgan. It's inside your mind"

"Technically challenged red jumps?"

Are you kidding me? This show has gone so far off the rails I'm finding myself angry at the ridiculousness and my soul has been tortured into a shallow grave marked "FINCH".

Moe. Moe. Moe: Mo. Mo honey are there any Simpsons fans out there? "Honey.. maybe we are not meant to be together"... I only searched 14 years. Honey... are they our enemies? PADRE knows the truth.

This babbling review is going to make as much sense as this show.

I have a different idea. Alicia has known I was dead? That's what I've become. Nightengale.. where is he? 1+1= 3. We have the files on PADRE.

Season eight episode what # is this?

"Shrike?"... "shrike.."... shoot him........!!!

Walker bites? Not a problem. We can fix that now based on the temp of the chowed human and heat coming off the wound.

Go PADRE! People need family. Take the kids away from them.

The only satisfying moment was as confusing as E=Mc2. " I can't lose her"... Madison "I don't ever want to see my kids again but my kids are the only thing that keeps me going" what in the hell is this torture of the mind? Thanks DAD! This is a vital part of the journey.

Shrike ? Shrike shoot him..... give us swamp waters & queue the swamp walkers.

Shrike?? Post-neck shred.. queue Madison sledgehammer. Later we see Shrike without a jugular seeking radiation treatment.

No chance Shrike! You're getting the floating walker head.

"The house boat sank I had to pull you out of the water" lol.

Cut scene to DANIEL being overpowered by children on his hands and knees. Lol. According to the teenage fencer, he didn't have what it took to stop them from fighting the carrion. Sorry Daniel!

This review is meant to make more sense than this TV show and I stand by it 100% that it does. We are going to put an end to it so that it all makes sense. Morgan is going to find Rick Grimes whether he's at Alexandria or not!

PADRE is a mystery.

2+2= 7. Don't let this die. This show is too important. Shoot him.

"Shrike?" I'm sorry. The plans are in the binoculars.

What's going on? Don't stop us from fighting the carrion. You know what comes next. This is what you trained for.

Shoot them. Fire. Dad was always with her.

Daniel looking away is told "don't look at me".

They trained their entire lives since birth for the moment... LOL you want the coordinates? Making sense? We will see your father coming out of the marsh. So go get on the ship. What comes next with these kids got Morgan thinking. "I'm so sorry. I wanted to thank you for helping me find myself. Whatever comes next those kids I ran away from Mo and I gotta find I right my mistake and leave them in safe hands with folk that sees them as no reason to believe to trust the person that took the kids that can be trusted. Thank you Madison. I hope to see you again."

Grace is buried next to Eastman. Thank GOD because Morgan realized (again) all life is precious but it's not about that. "Look after Grace in the ground and remember every swing has a reason. We need to get going where the friend that told me not to run who ran is the one who's missing or not missing is the one we are looking for." - Morgan at peace

"The day will come" I don't want to remember you. "I want to be with you" - Mo

I hope you like your new stick. "Let's go baby." Says Morgan.

PADRE HAS FALLEN.

What a truly dreadful episode
Kelly-13023 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
What a truly dreadful episode, where do I begin? First of all how did Morgan get out of the train car that he was chained inside of, Oh that's right he saw red which apparently gives him super powers.

Does anyone giving this a good review understand that this whole Padre junk is happening in Texas and yet they somehow move back and forth between Texas and Virginia without a second thought?

One minute they are in Texas, then next scene Morgan is burying Grace in Virginia alongside the guy that taught him how to fight with a stick. How in the world did he travel about 1,000 miles with a dead body?

Great mid season finale
michaelkb-8124526 June 2023
I don't know why some people are hating on this, if you watched twd and fear, which why else would you be here. This episode is a pinnacle in the series it is like a full circle moment and I cannot wait to see what happens next. With luck they will connect everything together and everyone will be happy again.

There might be some ups and downs throughout this season, even this show but let me tell you this.

This universe and the people who are in it are so great and they make you feel it too. I have watched these characters since I was a child and I would highly recommend anyone to hop on board too.

This is the begining of the end for fear, but not for the universe as a whole so let's bide our time and wait it out and see what happens.

I can't believe people are getting paid writing this.
kariverson23 June 2023
Seriously, how are these people employed?

This was the easiest episode to write of fear the walking dead ever.

After all that amazingly awful dialogue all season (and previous seasons too) all you had to do was have terminator Morgan decimate absolutely everyone for 40 minutes. With some good choreography and action scenes. Increase his body count again and gainand again dead or alive. Maybe that would have given his character a proper send-off until he meets Rick again.

But NOOOOoooo, have the same, not very bright, irritating Morgan on every scene and have terminator Morgan off screen. Writers should be ashamed for completely destroying the character of Morgan instead of having the Morgan that was against the saviors for just one episode.

Please fire them and publicly shame them. How they can make a fortune being so bad at what they do is beyond me. How are these writers paid for this??

S8.E6 - Beautiful and Emotional Episode With Thrilling Moments [8/10]
panagiotis199317 October 2023
Warning: Spoilers
(S8. E6) My Reaction / Review for Fear The Walking Dead Season 8 Episode 6 ''All I See Is Red'': Episode 5 was good and I gave it a rating of 7.6/10. Let's see if this one is better or worse. Seems like Morgan is losing his mind, makes sense after what happened to Grace and also the thought of losing Mo. What about Daniel's memory loss and dementia? Is he cured now? Did he use magic or something? Awful writing. Nice to see Dwight, Sherry and June but where is Victor and Alicia and Luciana? I don't understand why Shrike wont just kill Morgan? It's like they keep playing the same game over and over again. Shrike got bit? Finally some good news, I hate the character. Wait, is Finch dead? I feel so bad for Dwight and Sherry. The Padre storyline is a failure. Morgan and Mo starting a new life sounds good to me. Morgan wants to find Rick? Could Rick appear in future episodes? That would be super cool. At the end of the episode it seems like Alicia hears Madison's message, very interesting. Overall a beautiful and emotional episode, my rating is 8/10.

CYA IAN AND ANDREW
fountasalexander16 June 2023
Andrew & Ian are finally gone, I can't believe this, no one will miss you guys, you guys did a terrible job and you destroyed fear, losers, cya.

Let's be honest this episode sucked.

I'm glad Morgan is finally gone, and I think his farewell was perfect for his character.

I'll miss Lennie James, but I'm glad Kim Dickens can finally be the lead again, this is her show.

We thank you Lennie for your work on the show, I know a lot of us don't like Morgan, but I truly appreciate you and what you've done for the fear fans.

Okay back to the episode, yeah it's garbage, insanely boring, PADRE was proved to just be a waste of time.

The post credit scene is insane though, I think the final 6 episodes of the show could be truly special.

Was this the worst episode of any TV series ever?
owen_walton22 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Call up the Guinness Book of World Records. Is there a worse episode out there on any TV show?

It was like the worst Steven Segal movie. You just want to stick forks in your eyes to avoid watching it.

Fear the walking dead can be good. Sometimes they just churn out drivel. On occasion they manage diabolical. But this? I can't find the words in the dictionary for how bad this episode was.

What was PADRE? What was the point of it?

Madison back from the dead? Well if Morgan can survive, I'm sure Alicia can come back too (if we're to believe the end scene). Was this episode enough to kill off the series? I hope so, I fear fear the walking dead getting worse. First few series were good. This last series is bad, topped off by this.

Amateur writing. Amateur directing. Amateur editing.

What's with the red flashes every time Morgan goes all Bruce Banner? Is he now the red hulk, now he can't be killed?

What's with the kids pointing the guns at their (potential) parents' heads? The leaders of PADRE going from hard core background psychopaths to gibbering wrecks in 30 minutes? The sinking boat that seems to boringly sink slow enough for Mo to leave but not enough for Morgan to be eaten, but then if he is the red hulk, he's invincible.

The people in charge deserve to be fed to the walkers.

Seeing Red Again... and Again... and Again
rtorsitano11 July 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Not a fan of this episode at all. Overall I like the show, and I agree with many other fans that it's not a great series. But this episode was very tough to sit thru, which I did just to keep up with the story lines.

The whole Morgan "seeing red" thing was over done and a bit too far-fetched, even for this show. Gonna keep watching, and I hope the episodes get better than this one! And, I still love Madison!!

Speaking of far-fetched, the scene at the swamp with Shrike and what's left of her father was way over the top. I find it hard to believe he would show up in consecutive scene sequences, but I guess it made the story "work"!!

The Morgan Character cannot carry this show
garyvines-0129024 October 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I didn't care for the whole first part of this season. All the characters were written weird and outside of their core ethos. Madison was the Rick Grimes of this show, and they reduced her to some kid napping monster? Really? Morgan is a 1 note character that can only look at people and look away and back like he's about to scold a bad child. The Grace Character has been dying for like 3 seasons now, longer than anyone else and it didn't even seem to tie into the Alicia plot at all. Sherry and Dwight broke up??? Really? That was one of the aspects I've appreciated about both TWD and this series is that even in the end of the world love and still thrive and overcome a multitude. I hate whoever wrote this season up until now, they shouldn't be allowed to write this show, much less any other shows. It doesn't have to be like this, the way the characters were written, even though some were bad, they had been redeemed. I didn't like how June was written; I didn't like any of it.

And the girl, my Lord, that was the best they could do as far as casting? I get that she's young and did the best she could, but still it was like watching a play instead of a show. She just didn't have the gravity to carry this and neither did any of the rest of them. They didn't look like kids who were surviving a zombie apocalypse, they looked like spoiled rich kids who were acting...they may have been.

My least favorite episode Warning: Spoilers
The whole episode was poorly written. Too many inconsistencies, too much jumping around, it just felt like they were trying to hurriedly wrap things up. And after everything Sherri and Dwight went through, they now split and he leaves her alone in walker land? I'm not buying it.

I've always liked Lennie James and his Morgan portrayal, but I felt like they just didn't give him great material to work with. Padre has the appearance of this big controlling entity with its kiddie army, only to just fold and go away? And what's with Madison's now I need oxygen now I don't?

I really hope that the next half of this season is better written and isn't just a rush to wrap up storylines before ending the series.
