Notable Events from 715

  1. Gregory’s internal struggle. Watching him go back and forth on whether or not to kill Maggie outside the walls of The Hilltop was riveting television. That kind of thinking has to be going through many people’s heads, but viewers rarely get to see it play out. Xander Berkeley was magnificent in that scene.
  2. How did Tara sneak into the house at Oceanside? The community was like a beehive. People were coming and going everywhere and the area is always on alert. For her to sneak into the leaders house and hide out until she entered was odd, and a bad plan for dealing with Natanya.
  3. Shipwrecked walkers. These are some of the most cool walkers yet on the show. Coming from a ship on the shore, these members of the undead were both unique and specific to the location. Much like the dirt walkers from the previous Oceanside episode, cool zombies seem to be a staple of the community.
  4. Passage continues to get better. Admittedly, at first I had no interest in all about the Fear The Walking Dead mini-clips. Now, they are actually heating up in a way that has me wondering what is next and how this all will tie in to AMC’s companion series. Bravo, Passage!
  5. The Walking Dead: A New Frontier! The advertisement reminds me that episode 3 of the game is coming out VERY shortly. I can’t wait to stream it on my personal channel and find out what is happening next with all the fantastic characters from Telltale’s universe.
