The bad things from FearTWD 412
Out of gas. While it’s nice that Al and June are getting some bonding time while the van can’t move, finding resources and getting back to a spot where other survivors might be is the top priority. If Morgan can walk from Virginia to Texas, I’m sure June and Al can make it to a gas station or another vehicle. The van may be awesome, but it’s not worth dying for by waiting around.
More “Jimbo” talk. When you’re traveling with someone and they ask not to be called something, you don’t do it. I’ve been on enough long bus trips where things got awkward that I know trying to establish dominance over someone just isn’t worth it like that. Same with “Mo-Mo”.
Equating needing help with being weak. The title of this week’s episode is “Weak” and the crazy stranger lady seems to think she’s got everything under control and needs nothing. But even the strongest people out there need help sometimes, and there is no shame or weakness in that at all.
That jack kill. Knocking the jack out from under the vehicle was a pretty cool kill, but with how many kicks it took her to push the walker back, it was a bit corny that it stayed in one place until she could drop the vehicle. Fun effects, but a situation that takes viewers out of the episode.
Lying. I’m all for honesty in the zombie apocalypse. Telling June there is medicine in the vehicle to help save her life when there really is no medicine isn’t a good way to gain trust or treat someone else. If the van is that important, just tell June why and she will likely be much more understanding of the situation…and not be furious afterward.
