Jeremiah Otto is out at the target range practicing shooting. Nick is with him, also practicing. They’re waiting for Madison and Troy’s group to return, and Nick states that they should be back already. Nick takes aim and shoots.

Jake and Alicia are in bed, and Alicia says that Madison should be back. Jake says they will be. Jake says Troy promised to keep Madison safe.

26. Burning in Water, Drowning in Flame, Season Three, Episode Five. Original Air Date = June, 25, 2017

We hear a disturbance at the old couple’s house in the Broke Jaw compound. Russell rises from his bed, lights a lantern, and sees his wife standing at the window. He asks Martha if she’s alright. She’s far from alright – she’s a walker. She growls at him. He says her name in a sad voice. He opens his arms to her, and she comes to him and goes for his neck – but to no avail. Her dentures are in a glass by the side of the bed. Side question – if she had been able to bite him with her dentures, would that have caused him to turn? Continue reading “26.

25. 100, Season Three, Episode Four. Original Air Date = June, 19, 2017

We see a pretty sunrise over the hills, and hear happy Mexican music in the background.  We see a long deserted highway, and it’s got to be the one that Nick hiked along near the end of last season, only this time we see Daniel limping along the road.  Once he’s off the main road, he ends up in an area that looks like the outskirts of La Colonia in Tijuana where Nick met Luciana.

Daniel is looking for water as he limps through the deserted town. He’s very weak. Subtitles tell us that the song in the background has the lyrics “she had to lose sometime”. Continue reading “25. 100, Season Three, Episode Four. Original Air Date = June, 19, 2017”

24. TEOTWAWKI, Season Three, Episode Three. Original Air Date = June, 11, 2017

Preppers – We’re watching a video of the bombing in Oklahoma, we see Timothy McVeigh, lots of snippets of right wing propaganda films, Bill Clinton, and it all ends with the world exploding. Then we see Jeremiah Otto on his ranch back in the day, being prepared. He tells his audience that he’s got a four part series on VHS about how to survive the world when everything goes to hell in a hand basket. We see a montage of how to live on your land, and survive the end of the world as we know it (TEOTWAWKI). We see Jeremiah and his family standing together, building their better future. Great music too. It’s exactly the kind of music you’d hear for this kind of video package.

It’s now night time, and the helicopter is flying toward its destination. Travis asks how much longer, and Jake says they’re about 20 min out.

22. Eye of the Beholder, Season Three, Episode One. Original Air Date = June, 4, 2017

It opens with a fork in a dirt road, and then we see Alicia, Madison, and Travis being led through a field of dead people. It’s not immediately clear who they are – it could be the group from La Colonia, who were led by Nick and Luciana. Alicia, Madison, and Travis are being taken to to a military base, where they are separated. There are a lot of military vehicles and soldiers milling around. The base is fairly large and seems protected. Travis is taken to a lock-up area. We can hear someone being beaten – and maybe killed. A number is written on the guy’s forehead. Travis is weighed and his height noted (6’2″, 190 lbs). An older guy is taken away. Travis is left with the other prisoners. Travis looks around and spots Nick and Luciana also in the holding area – making it much more likely that the group of dead people at the beginning is the remnants of La Colonia. Nick is staring off into space and his gaze falls onto Travis.

99. The First Day of The Rest of Your Life, Season Seven, Episode Sixteen. Original Air Date = April 2, 2017

It opens with a tight close up of Sasha’s face in the dark. She is listening to music through head phones – Donny Hathaway “Someday We’ll All Be Free”. Very appropriate for Sasha at this moment. There is sweat on her brow, and then she closes her eyes. The music continues to play.

98. Something They Need, Season Seven, Episode Fifteen. Original Air Date = March 26, 2017

A walker’s face comes into focus for us and the scene shifts abruptly to a shot of the RV, Daryl on his motorcycle, and Aaron driving a van behind Daryl. The next shot is of the group crossing the lake in a boat on their way to Oceanside. Then Tara, Carl and Enid are on the shore discussing how many people they’ve killed. While all of this happens, Tara tells Rick in voice over about Oceanside.

The walker we saw at the beginning seems to be part of a shipwreck because we see a large ship half sunk just off the beach. It looks like the same beach where Tara washed up, so Oceanside can’t be that far away. Many of the walkers are waterlogged and falling apart and they’re meandering forward into view!  Nice.

Meanwhile Maggie has a good ultrasound.  Next we see Maggie preparing a list, while Enid brings her a plate of food. Continue reading “97. The Other Side, Season Seven, Episode Fourteen.

Diane, Jerry, King Ezekiel, and a couple of other Kingdom members who are responsible for the tribute runs, load a single cantaloupe onto a truck bed and then close the truck bed door on it.  They are quite solemn as they do this, and no one speaks.
