Could Alejandro be lying and still be good on Fear the Walking Dead?
By Susie Graham
Alejandro, the pharmacist, on Fear the Walking Dead has added a twist to the story with his possible bite. If he’s lying, does that make him bad?
Last week on Fear the Walking Dead, Luciana told Nick that Alejandro had been bitten. “Bull shit,” was NIck’s reply because he knows that if you’re bitten, you die. This news adds a new mystery and twist to the story that will likely be revealed over the next several episodes.
This revelation brings up questions and possiblities about Alejandro and the epidemic. Is immunity possible? Is Alejandro just lying? Did he have a scar and claim it was a bite? Perhaps someone noticed the scar and Alejandro took advantage of the opportunity to create some hope for the hopeless?
If he truly is immune, then that opens a whole can of zombie fingers. But if he’s not and he made it up, does that automatically mean he has sinister motives? They are purposely not using dramatic irony in this case creating suspense for us in a great way.

With The Governor, we knew he was pretty evil or at least a little twisted because they showed us the tanks of heads and gave us other clues that he was going to be a problem for our group.
Here, we don’t really know if Alejandro is going to be a problem for NIck. Perhaps NIck is going to be an asset to La Colonia and there will be villains that they will fight together.
Or perhaps, Alejandro is completely loco and Nick will have to fight to help the members of La Colonia see that they are not the chosen people and pick up their lawn chairs and fight the walkers.
We just don’t know. And that is fun! Alejandro could be using their Catholicism and their views of the dead to give them something to hope for and to live for by using himself as a miracle of this epidemic. He could be using their beliefs to give them something to have faith in to keep them from giving up. He could be a benevolent cult leader.
Is it more noble to shoot them in the head to put them out of their fate to become a walker or to make them feel that they are doing a service to their children and their community by feeding the wall and keeping the chosen ones safe?

We will have to wait and see. As usual, I have more questions than answers. I don’t have a guess one way or the other. I like him way more than I liked The Governor, that’s the only thing I do know.
What do you think about Alejandro? Is Nick going to have to go against him at some point? Will Luciana stay with Alejandro? Will she go with Nick? I’m great at asking questions! Not so much at predicting the answers. That’s for the writers.
