Fear the Walking Dead, 210 Words Per Minute: Things To Note
By Liam O'Leary
19) After dispatching the utility hall walkers, Morgan laments that he would have gotten all of them, before stopping himself from saying “If you hadn’t broken my stick”. Umm…isn’t it still radioactive? Grace took it because the wood was porous, and therefore, couldn’t be properly decontaminated. Did something about the wood’s porous nature or the radioactivity of the contaminated walkers change at some point, and nobody told us?
20) As they set about reactivating the generator, Grace quips about her and Morgan always finding themselves around generators. This is the second time the two have had to try to get a generator going, the first being when Grace was trying to keep the reactor from melting down back in the season’s seventh episode, “Still Standing”.
21) Whenever Morgan refers to Duane by name, he does so in the present tense, never in past tense: He says “He’s Duane”, not “He was Duane” or “His name was Duane, but, “He’s Duane”.
22) Who’s the guy Grace thought about dating? Was he one of the men in the picture with Grace Morgan found in her house in “Still Standing”?
23) As Morgan and Grace force open the gate of the Urgent Care clinic (And causing the alarm to blare in the process), all of the walkers previously distracted by the arcade turn around and advance upon Morgan and Grace. Near the left of the shot as the walkers turn around, you can spot a walker that’s only about shoulder-high compared to the other walkers. Is that the walker of a teenager who died in the mall during the outbreak?
24) Upon being found on the roof by Morgan and Grace, Chuck explains how he got onto the roof, during which, he refers to the dead as “stumblers”. This a name previously used by Ryan and Molly, the couple on the second of Al’s tapes that Madison watches in her final episode, Season 4’s “No One’s Gone”. Is that name a Texas thing?
