Fire at the Broke Jaw Ranch – Fear The Walking Dead, AMC /
The bad things from Fear 305
So, is Luciana 100% now? Last episode, she was struggling to do anything on her own. This week, she’s standing and sleeping in a bed with Nick. Last week I complained about her recovery not being a focus since the scene with Troy and Nick at the gate of the ranch, and it continues to be a problem with this season.
Sexism in the zombie apocalypse. The word ‘sweetheart’ should only be a term of endearment. It shouldn’t be used to talk down to someone who you believe is beneath you. While Madison firing it back at the man from the ranch was good, it’s a shame that kind of mentality still exists near the end of the world.
Nick struggling to admit he wants to keep an eye on his family. After being separated from Madison and Alicia for so long, it is natural that Nick would want to keep tabs on them for at least a little while. Sadly, he couldn’t say that to Luciana, who wanted to move on from the ranch as soon as she was able…and actually did so.
“It’s my calling”. It’s strange to hear Troy Otto talking about revenge and killing as being his calling, especially after a conversation with Madison about getting closure for the death of his mother. He’s definitely got a screw loose, and the only question is how dangerous he is and that question got an exclamation point after he held a knife to Madison’s throat.
Living on stolen land. While the Otto family ranch seems like a great place, it appears as though it doesn’t belong to them. This is reminiscent of when The Governor wanted to take over the prison even though there were plenty of other good places to live. The only question is how important getting the land back is to this new group of characters.
