Fear The Walking Dead, The Beginning: Things To Note
By Liam O'Leary
Fear the Walking Dead recap
8) The title card for Daniel’s segment reads “Dame el arma!” which translates to “Give me the gun!”
9) When Daniel questions Riley, he replies, “I know you think we’re all insane, but it’s just The Beginning.” If he thought that would dissuade the group of The Beginners’ insanity, I don’t think he thought his plan through very well.
10) After the brakes of the MRAP are repaired, Daniel tells Luciana, “Dame el arma!” giving this section’s title card its quote.
11) Rollie is the twenty-eighth named character to die this season and the last of the C & L Trucking crew to die.
12) Just before Daniel kills Rollie after Sarah tells him to get going, Rollie says, “We’ll make it out of this thing yet…like a phoenix“, only a little while after Riley ominously tells Daniel, “The phoenix will rise.” Is that why Daniel suspected Rollie as the traitor?
13) While we would later learn that Daniel was right about Rollie being a traitor (As confirmed by Riley), he doesn’t seem to be correct about Rollie’s involvement in Tank Town’s destruction. Riley reveals that Rollie lost faith in the coalition after Daniel’s bout of confusion in “Handle With Care,” which was obviously after Tank Town’s destruction.
14) After she shoots him, Charlie says that Riley was “going for the gun.” Which gun? Daniel’s? That seems odd, considering that Wes would have seen him before he got to Daniel. I’m confused.
