5 WTF moments from Fear the Walking Dead episode 601
By Sara Large
2. What’s in the box?
There is so much about this moment that makes it incredibly epic. The fact that Morgan Jones decides to take the box his own decapitated head should be in and place Emile’s head in it, just wow. There are no words that can accurately convey the feelings fans had when they realized what Morgan had done, aside from perhaps a lot of cursing.
What makes this moment so great is that it is shocking, disgusting, appalling, but WOW is it enjoyable! The fact Virginia is the one to open the box is beyond satisfying. Especially because when she walks into the scene her attitude is smug and excited. When the happiness drains from her face, viewers can tell she is rattled to the core.
The person she thought she might have killed is not only alive, but they have killed her bounty hunter and she knows what is likely coming next, an attempt on her life. Virginia’s world must be slowly crumbling around her so what happens after her speech over the radio must have her mind whirling.
The cherry on the top of the cake is, how amazing the head in the box looked. All of the work that goes into these shows is not to be underrated. The crew who put together this episode and this moment are stellar, and if all the effects look as visually stunning as Emile’s head in that box, fans are in for a treat this season.
