Fear the Walking Dead season one, episode four: Not Fade Away

The way the possibility of a distress signal is totally shrugged off by the Man in Charge reflects his dismissive attitude toward the enveloping paranoia that is being felt by the denizens of his safe-zone, where Madison and Travis are attempting to get their feet on the ground once again.

A few hints that the creators have dropped along with the behavior on the series so far has led us to believe that “Fear the Walking Dead” may if effect be doing their version of “The Walking Dead” creator’s story “The Rise of The Governor”. The one from last week’s episode. But Madison has her own problems, mainly discovering Nick is still doping and beating the crap out of him for it. Did you watch the last episode?

Tell us, HollywoodLifers – Do you think the army can be trusted? What will be interesting in episode five is how they go about trying to retrieve Griselda, Liza and Nick.

“It’s safe inside the fence”, Chris tells us. So these final two episodes have a lot to prove. Cue the beginning of Travis’s disillusionment. Soldiers are required to perform mandatory health screenings on everyone within the fenced-in areas. Was this foreshadowing something worse, or are we just seeing the contrast between how Travis feels about everything going on as opposed to the rest of the world? Yet, while the military men insist that the threat is being contained, and that they have a realistic shot at regaining the city, their actions don’t really bear that out. Who’s right? Or are they both right in pushing each other to pay more attention to the other aspect? When the neighbor asks if his family will know he’s lying, Travis ignores the question. How Madison hasn’t figured out that her son is definitely high on something other than the painkillers she was giving him is beyond me. Will Madison forgive Travis for bringing his ex into her home now that Liza has ratted out Nick? [And] she stumbles upon a massacre, and what we come to realize is there have been certain neighborhoods where families didn’t want to leave. His line about Travis – that Travis would throw those dudes a parade if they let him – is one of my favorites of the series so far. Chris films the neighborhood from the roof. As she hides from mini-tanks, in streets littered with head-shot corpses, the episode builds some actual tension, capturing the horror in the surrounding hills. Today’s episode is titled Not Fade Away.

She shouts at him, “You have no idea!” She leaves it for him and says don’t be a hero. She asked, “Nick what happened to your face?” “Nick!” She was not successful in getting him back.

The Commanding Officer of “this detachment” announces that the people inside the fence are infection free. He reads that the Hazmat teams are disposing of hazardous materials. He walks away and she threatens to get mom which forces him to concede. When you are dealing with the populous with the way this is going down, the soldiers think the military knows more than our family does.

Moyers recruits Travis to talk to a freaked-out neighbor, Doug.

Daniel then makes Madison promise she’ll take care of Ofelia if anything happens to him. The rumor is that they’re headed east. “Who knows what it is, but I’m not going to bother the soldiers who are trying desperately to protect us and win this war on the undead”.

The military informs Travis, who has become the community’s mayor (Is that an official title?), they already found Doug and he’s “getting the help he needs” (whatever that means). But for him, I’d say his video camera is how he copes and how he feels important in this situation. She saw the glint, the light on the video that Chris took, and she believes that Chris might be right. Doug says the kids keep asking if everything will be okay and he doesn’t have any answers for them. There is still no helpful news coverage about what is really going on, and the characters do not know the full extent of the danger that they are facing. She also makes sure to get a nasty slip in there about his ex-wife, Eliza, disappearing every day instead of helping around the house. She sees the empty pill bottle and coffee cup on the table before entering the bedroom and analyzing a drawing on the wall. Upon investigating Susan’s apartment, she finds a note and realizes Susan killed herself. The doctor acknowledges her good work, however, and even encourages her to continue pretending, recognizing that Liza more easily won over confidence from these people by saying she was a nurse.

He said, “It’s been nine days since the lights went out”. He goes to peek and then sees the woman leave the house to check her garden.

The majority of readers think poor Griselda will not get the medical help she needs and will not survive. Like, at all. She lied so that Hector’s wife would trust her and she could keep her husband alive. “The point is to wean yourself off slowly, so it won’t happen again”, she told him. But whining about an ICU in her daughter’s bedroom after Daniel saved Travis’s life, then whining about having to cook and clean because Travis isn’t around enough… Travis tries to help her but Alicia claims to have it under control.

He’s also feeling a degree of responsibility, because he went to Moyers in that golf scene and mentioned the fact that his son had seen a light… but when he sees the muzzle flashes later on, his assumption is Moyers took what he told him and that’s the result. Moyers and the soldiers promise that it’s on the way. Doug was brought to a military facility for help. Madison tells Travis that she’s upset about there not being any news from anywhere, that she heard about quarantine camps somewhere, but Travis doesn’t care about any of that. Travis curses. Someone signals back. He trusts that the government has his family’s best interest at heart, at least for the moment.

“They can’t, or they won’t”, Chris told her.

Lt. Moyers’ (Jamie McShane) group, they’re the National Guard.
