Fear the Walking Dead 501 review: ‘It’s not supposed to be easy’

Drama

The group has been feeling dejected after the countless fruitless attempts to help people. Logan’s turnabout was a knife in the back and it didn’t make things any easier in terms of morale. Knowing that they have lost their shelter with all of their supplies is a massive blow, but it’s also great motivation.

The big question is whether or not Logan is a villain. Is he the villain of season 5? It’s too early to tell. The group wants to get back to the denim factory and reunite with their friends, but it’s unclear at this point what they will do about Logan. The “L” half of “C&L Trucking” is certainly entitled to his belongings, which makes any argument that he’s stealing their shelter rather moot. Perhaps he can be persuaded to play nice.

Meeting the kids gives them new direction for the time being. How is it that these three urchins have managed to survive in this strange location filled with eviscerated walkers and radiation signs? Clearly these kids have been through a lot and their wise-beyond-their-years advice hints that they know a lot more then they’re letting on about the dangers out there.
