Fear The Walking Dead, The Althea Tapes: Things To Note
By Liam O'Leary
1) Samora’s last name is Sinclair. She’s the only person among Al’s tapes to reveal her surname.
2) Samora is also the first person we’ve met in either Walking Dead show to be from North Carolina.
3) Samora tells Al she was heading for Tucson, Arizona. Why? What was in Tucson?
4) Samora is the first character in either Walking Dead show to confirm that she has obsessive-compulsive disorder, though, she may not be the first in the show to actually have the disorder.
5) Samora tells Al she’s had the jacket she’s seen wearing for 553 days, approximately one year, six months, and eight days. When and how did she get it?
6) Samora’s younger sister’s name was Crystal, who, Samora explains, died forty six days earlier.
7) According to Samora, Crystal was the fifty-ninth “dead person” she’s killed. “Dead person” seems to be Samora’s name for walkers, making it (Approximately) the eighteenth distinct name for the dead in Fear.
8) Of all the interviewees in The Althea Tapes, Samora is the first one who is both confirmed to be alive and that her interview occurred after the end of the first half of Season Five of Fear, as Samora says she sought out the group after seeing them flying the plane back towards El Paso.
9) None of the interviews amongst The Althea Tapes webisodes are ones that we’ve either seen in Season Four of Fear, or among the tapes (Or lists of tapes) seen peripherally in either Season Four or Season Five.
10) While researching the previous note, I realized that, among Al’s tapes was one labelled “Bartlett”, the same town Madison, Alicia, Luciana, and Strand found June in in Season Four’s “Another Day In The Diamond”. This makes me wonder: Did Al interview someone from Bartlett, or, did see the community’s downfall?
