Fear The Walking Dead, Survival Rule Of The Week: Who Can You Trust?
By Liam O'Leary
Fear the Walking Dead season 7 survival rules
In a world of the walking dead, you can’t survive without trust, but the question is, who CAN you trust in a zombie apocalypse?
This week’s episode of Fear The Walking Dead was all about our old friend, Victor Strand. These days, Victor is sitting pretty as lord and master of the Tower, a beacon for the nuclear apocalypse survivors. For many people, he is the man who chooses whether they are afforded entry into his safe haven or not.
Of course, as he made a point of mentioning a couple of times in this week’s episode, the Tower’s success has primarily been due to his judgment. His ability to read other people and decide who he should let in and who he shouldn’t. He trusts his instincts to make those judgments until Morgan’s desperate actions cause Strand to question those instincts.
This brings me to the point of this week’s Survival Rule Of The Week: Trust. Who can you trust in a zombie apocalypse? With so many people driven to desperate or selfish things in the apocalypse and others simply seeing it as an opportunity to do whatever they want, the question isn’t an easy one to answer. What I hope to do is find the answer to that question and remind you of just how important having trust (Including in yourself) can be in a zombie apocalypse.
