Fear the Walking Dead, The Hurt that Will Happen: Things To Note
By Liam O'Leary
13) Were Annie, Max, and Dylan’s parents amongst the people at Camp Cackleberry (Who, presumably, burned the radioactive walkers)? Is that what happened to them, that they breathed in the toxic fumes and turned?
14) Luciana going outside, alone, into the darkness, to investigate a noise seems like an homage to classic tropes of late 70s and 80s slasher movies, kind of like The Walking Dead’s Season Nine midseason finale, “Evolution”, was peppered with homages to Gothic horror.
15) Morgan trying to get Alicia to understand she needs to open up to people is very similar to Rick trying to get Morgan to understand the same thing before Morgan left Virginia in the Season Four opener, “What’s Your Story?”.
16) This episode gets its name from Morgan’s pep talk to Alicia about needing to understand she can’t inoculate herself from losing people, wherein he tells her she needs to open herself up to “The Hurt That Will Happen“.
And, with that, we’ve concluded our Things To Note for this week. Was there anything you missed? Was there anything I missed? Feel free to throw in your things to note in the comments!
