3.11 La Serpiente
Fear The Walking Dead isn't a universe that allows happy endings. Sure, you might get a few happy moments here and there, and between seasons anything is possible, but on a macro level, nothing's going to work out for anyone, and everyone's going to die miserably. After all, these are a bunch of people who are trying to scratch out a living in an inhospitable desert, an arduous process even before the whole zombie apocalypse outbreak. However, La Serpiente ends on a strangely pleasant note. Daniel and Strand have a handshake and an understanding of mutual benefit. Madison's gotten the water needed to keep the peace and keep the ranch alive.

The Writers Guild Awards and the Academy writing nominees always don’t line up; many films are ineligible. This year, those included Oscar-writing nominees “Lion” and “The Lobster.”
This year, the WGA and the Academy differed dramatically. While the WGA deemed “Moonlight” and “Loving” as Original Screenplays, the Academy considered both as Adapted; only “Moonlight” landed a nomination.
At the WGA, as at the BAFTAs, Barry Jenkins’ script for “Moonlight” competed for the Original Screenplay Award against both Kenneth Lonergan’s “Manchester by the Sea” and Damien Chazelle’s “La La Land.” Unlike the BAFTAs, Jenkins emerged the winner over Lonergan, a sign of strength for “Moonlight,” which is nominated for eight Oscars.

This review contains spoilers.
2.10 Do Not Disturb
This is the third episode of the second half of the second season of Fear The Walking Dead, and it's the third episode in a row where two scenes have been spliced together in order to compare the situation that the two lead characters face. Alicia is risking her life to save her mother and making enemies of the surviving guests of the hotel in the process, and Chris is choosing how he wants to ride out the apocalypse, either as his father's son or as part of a gang of gun-toting frat bros. As it has for the bulk of the second season, Fear The Walking Dead continues to explore the new world, and the new way to make your way in the world.
