The only upside to this is that his necrotic flesh allows him to blend in among the dead, as Nick often did when camouflaged in walker blood.Įven in the best of times, removing the bullet would be risky. He’s got one foot in the grave, thanks to gangrene and a bullet fragment lodged near his pulmonary artery. In that time, he’s become the walking dead himself in more than just the metaphorical sense. So it makes sense that Morgan is so resistant to making new friends in this episode-even if they’re just as hell-bent on aiding strangers as he once was.Īs we soon find out, the last several weeks have been difficult for Morgan. This had dire consequences, of course, leading not only to Virginia’s attempted murder of Morgan but also the group being split up and sent to different settlements. Last season’s theme was one of altruism-led by Morgan, who was determined to help people whether they wanted aid or not. He’s struggling with a crisis of faith as well, though mostly in himself. Again, a lot of this falls on James, whose strong performance immediately invested me in Morgan’s physical and existential battles. In the meantime, if we go along with the conceit that Morgan has spent the last five or six weeks convalescing in a tricked-out water tower, the rest of the episode works. Does this constitute a magical dumpster moment, akin to what rescued a Glenn in TWD’s sixth season? You can read my expanded thoughts on Morgan’s mulligan here. Which brings us to the elephant in the room-namely that James’s Morgan Jones survived the tragic upheaval of last season’s finale, “End of the Line.” How did Morgan survive being shot by Virginia (Colby Minifie) and being left for dead as walkers slowly closed in? We learn that he survived thanks to the largesse of a mysterious stranger who heard what would have been his last words over the radio, exhorting his compatriots to live.

Lennie James was a strong addition to the series back in season 4, crossing over as he did from TWD to join Fear’s motley crew. A lot of that rests on the shoulders of its strong ensemble cast. While they haven’t enjoyed a sterling track record, when Fear works, it really works.
But here we are, courtesy of Andrew Chambliss and Ian Goldberg, who return for their third season as showrunners. And that’s certainly something I don’t think a lot of us expected-that a spin-off prequel to The Walking Dead would have legs.
With that being said, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked the way “The End is the Beginning” kicked things off for Fear the Walking Dead‘s sixth season. If anything, we’re lucky we have anything new to watch at all, especially with some series being outright canceled because they’re too difficult to produce in the age of Covid-19. I’m even willing to give John Dorie’s San Antonio Split a pass at this point. Fear the Walking Dead Season 6 Episode 1Īfter everything the world has endured these last several months, it just doesn’t seem productive to harp on what did or didn’t work about last season. This Fear the Walking Dead review contains spoilers.
