Fear The Walking Dead, Survival Rule Of The Week: Being A Survivor

Strand always looks out for #1

4) Think Through What You’re Doing.

While everything this week will be examples set by Strand, I didn’t say all of them would be good examples…

If you saw the Fear The Walking Dead season six finale, you also saw Strand try to throw Morgan into a (Relatively) large herd, with the intent of “sacrificing” him in order to get to Teddy and Riley, stop the nuclear launch, and get the glory in the process. Strand never stopped to consider how he was even going to get into the weapons room to stop Teddy and Riley in the first place! It was only because Morgan had the wherewithal to scavenge the corpses of the naval officers whose walkers he was killing for keycards that either one of them even had a chance of stopping the nuclear launch!

What the hell was Strand thinking?!

Nothing, evidently.

This is something that, if you were to try in a zombie apocalypse, you’d probably get yourself killed. If you go into things in the apocalypse without thinking them through, disaster is going to be your reward because, instead of trying to plan for any potential snags (Even self-explanatory ones), you’ve decided to jump into the fray and just hope that everything works out the way you want it.

Before you do anything where zombies, or hostiles, or any other kind of threat may be lurking around, take a minute to think about what you’re going to do and how you’re going to do it, so you don’t start doing something that’s either way over your head, or just plain impossible, and wind up dead.
