The best fan reactions to Fear The Walking Dead 410: Close Your Eyes
By Sonya Iryna
Fear The Walking Dead delivered a powerful episode with season 4 episode 10 titled “Close Your Eyes” and fans were definitely here for it.
Fear The Walking Dead fans usually have mixed reactions to bottle episodes. But in season 4, the new showrunners have proven that they can create bottle episodes with lots of heart and emotion like the “Laura” episode as well as action driven episodes.
Sunday’s bottle episode “Close Your Eyes” that focused on Charlie and Alicia took bottle episodes to a new level with knockout performances by both actresses. The unique darkly poignant look that director Michael Satrazemis is known for made this episode one of the finest that the series has ever done.
Alycia Debnam-Carey carried almost the entire first half of the episode by herself, which isn’t easy to do, and she did it so well that fans were mesmerized. Alexa Nisenson’s performance as a scared, confused, and traumatized Charlie was also outstanding. Together the two worked through their demons and their losses, as well as coming to terms with the role each has played in getting to the point they are at now.
Alicia had to find a balance between her desire for revenge and her desire to honor her mother by protecting Charlie the way that Madison would have done. Ultimately she vanquished her desire to kill Charlie in revenge for Nick’s death and Madison’s death and she and Charlie set off together to face whatever comes next. Even in a season full of great episodes “Close Your Eyes “stands out as one of the best, and fans were loving this Alicia centered episode as you can see by their reactions:
