Your delicate stomach is begging for more zombie filled action in this summer's most suspenseful television series.  Well... whatever that show is, that's for a different blog. In this week's blunt force trauma delivery of Fear the Walking Vague Plot Points, our heroes decide that lingering in the same, boring neighborhood for five episodes is too bogus.  The episode's title is "The Good Man."  This was widely debated in Kirman's inner circle of the soccer moms and Mexicans for Donald Trump, as the good man is supposed to be a wide metaphor relating to how radical a fun, Christian marriage in uptown LA can be.  I'm overwriting the majority vote, and renaming this episode as  "Dude, Where's my Crowbar."  This is, in fact, the season finale.  More like the season FINALLY ended...

 

This season, the action climaxed as someone's leftover Christmas lights confused the Salazar family into mass hysteria.  Moving on from that groundbreaking ground breaker, we pick up the pieces and move on.  What did our heroes accomplish?  What really happened that we needed to know after episode 1?  What happened to the scabby kid?  To save you some time, you can just skip past episodes 2-5 and not really miss any plot points at all.

 

Our heroes move on to save their families by letting a hoard of zombies mass murder an entire high-school filled with innocents and military "dudes."  Yes, our noble heroes have to hire zombies to do all of the work for them.  Travis and his trusty shotgun conquer every dangerous obstacle to save his balding son... well... he just hits stainless steel duragrade locks off of chain fences, and cafeteria doors with the butt of his shotgun... sure.  Somehow, this episode left us asking how action scenes could possibly slow a story down to a pattering halt.

 

So this season is over, and we get to go back to Rick complain about morality and dad stuff.  If Fear the Walking Dead's goal was to force the audience to get on their knees and beg for the broody, slow pace of The Walking Dead, then mission accomplished.  Come back into our lives, whinny child boy with silly hat.  Come back, old grandma lady who is about as intimidating as a glass of cream cheese.  Come back, expendable black people.  Come back, guy that looks disturbingly similar to Aragorn.  Come and let us appreciate how you're not these... other people.
