Fear The Walking Dead, Season Six: Who’s THE WORST?
By Liam O'Leary
3) Riley
Riley earns himself a special mention on this list. While I could understand a person feeling despair when the zombie apocalypse hits, and they lose their family, I can not understand then deciding to obliterate everything with nuclear warheads at the behest of a deranged serial killing LUNATIC.
Of course, that’s all going off the assumption that Riley became a devotee of Teddy after his ship, the U.S.S. Pennsylvania ran aground in Galveston, Texas, as he and Teddy suggested.
However, I have reason to suspect that, even if Riley only joined Teddy’s cult after the outbreak (Plenty of cult leaders have been in prison, but their devotees have kept things up outside, so, why not Teddy?) I still think he was a murdering scumbag. Riley’s body count might be second only to Teddy’s among this season’s villains, and this all stems from the fact that Riley was the only survivor of his ship.
As I discussed in another of my Fear The Walking Dead Theories last week, I can’t help but find the fact that Riley seems to be the only survivor out of a crew of one-hundred and fifty (Unless Walter was also part of the crew, but that’s another theory for another day) very suspicious.
Even if we assume that my theory is not true, there’s still the fact that, even though he didn’t need to, he gave Teddy access to anything radioactive, and an arsenal of nuclear missiles is, in my opinion, enough for him to get his own spot on this list.
