Fear The Walking Dead, Survival Rule Of The Week: This Is NOT The End

It’s easy to think that a zombie apocalypse is the end of everything. The collapse of civilization as we know it and the existential threat of millions of zombies can lead people to believe that.  But, when you step back and look at things, and so long as you’re willing to survive, the apocalypse, far from being the end of everything, may actually be the beginning.

Throughout the sixth season of Fear The Walking Dead, that idea, “The End Is The Beginning,” has been its theme, with near-misses, second chances, and new opportunities hammering the point home over and over again.

If Fear The Walking Dead’s season six finale had a message, it was that, no matter how bleak things get in the zombie apocalypse, it is NOT the end for us.

Nowhere was this theme more prevalent than in the season finale. Which not only kept the idea as a running thread throughout the six separate stories told in the episode but was also quite literal, as the episode made it clear that the “end” the group was witnessing would serve as a new beginning heading into the next season.

With this theme being so strong in this week’s episode of Fear, I felt it only right that for this week’s Survival Rule Of The Week, I tackle this idea. Specifically, how, just because you’ve experienced disasters in the zombie apocalypse (Including the apocalypse itself), that doesn’t mean it’s the end for you or humanity as a whole.
