5 WTF moments from Fear the Walking Dead episode 601
By Sara Large
5. Emile’s intro
The intro of the character Emile is something viewers have been looking forward to ever since he made his debut into the teasers. This ax-wielding renegade was every bit as awesome as the teasers made him out to be. Only this bounty hunter could make a can of beans seem creepy. Seriously, if the secret ingredient was human blood, fans wouldn’t have been too shocked.
Emile also had a sidekick in the form of a dog named Rufus who licked the face of Walter’s decapitated head. What he taught his dog and what he did in his free time seems to be rather odd and revolting but oh so interesting! From the start of his intro, his energy gives fans serious WTF vibes, and when he makes his first kill fans are hooked and horrified for Morgan.
Emile easily launched this episode more into the direction of horror and fans took to Twitter comparing him to many famous horror movie killers that stalk their victims and always find them. As far as looks go fans even mention he looked like the killer in Jeepers Creepers, truck and all.
One thing that must be said is that fans were also saying WTF at his untimely demise. Villains normally always die, and fans weren’t hoping for redemption for him, but to be taken out in the episode he arrived is sad. He was one heck of a villain during the time Fear the Walking Dead had him, so fingers crossed he is a character included on the upcoming Tales of The Walking Dead series.
