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. Little does Jake know what happened last night when Troy made a threat on Madison’s life! Continue reading “27. Red Dirt, Season Three, Episode Six. Original Air Date = July, 2, 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.

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”

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. Now that they’re that close to the ranch, Jake messages that they are commencing radio silence. Continue reading “23. The New Frontier, Season Three, Episode Two. 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.

Someone crashes into the room with Travis and the bros – it’s Hector. Travis is shell shocked. Elena and her group escort the dazed Travis out of the room. Madison doesn’t want them to take Travis, but she has to live by her own rules – any violence and you’re out. And Travis just beat two people to death, not to mention his beat down of Oscar. And for much the same reason as Ilene – both were crazy with grief.  Travis’ revenge on the bros was much more savage than Ilene’s attack on Strand, making him potentially more dangerous than Ilene.

Madison takes Alicia’s knife, walks into the café, and puts the knife into Derek’s head so that he doesn’t resurrect. Strand and Alicia observe Madison’s behavior. A severely beaten and broken Brandon resurrects, but before he can manage to get up, Madison puts a knife in his head too.

Opens up with Ofelia driving Strand’s truck down an unpaved road – and the radiator blows up.  She’s stuck. She opens the hood and it’s steaming hot in there. She can’t touch any of the engine parts. She takes off her t-shirt and uses it to protect her hand while she unscrews the cap. As she works, a walker comes up to her. She grapples with it and slams the car hood on its arm. It’s trapped under the hood – ha! Then a female walker comes up and she hammers her in the head. Then yet another walker comes and she hammers that guy too. Another old walker guy attacks and she fights that one, and wins. Good work, Ofelia! The bad news is that she’s stuck in the middle of nowhere and covered with blood. The one walker is still trapped in the hood of the car. She hammers that guy.

But now about 20 walkers shambling in her direction.  She sees them, calmly grabs her jug of water out of the truck bed, and walks off up the road, by a nearby fence.

A shot of a group of people from the legs down.  We’re supposed to think it’s a mass of walkers, but these people are cleaner – and they’re carrying belongings, which walkers don’t do. Sure enough, they’re all alive, and they want in to the resort. There’s a crush of them all pushing against the resort’s gate – will it hold? Madison and Elena apologize to them, but don’t let them in. The people scream that the inhabitants of the resort have power, and a castle, while those outside the gate have nothing. And let’s not forget it’s all Madison’s fault that they’re now being inundated by people who want to share the safety that the resort provides.  And then Madison sees Travis in the group.  He fights his way to the front of the gate. Chris is not with him.

Inside La Colonia – a man is sneaking around. He has a woman and child with him – wife and daughter? The guard at the guard post isn’t watching – he’s literally asleep at his post. The family get to a section of the corrugated steel wall that they can pull back and sneak through, and leave La Colonia. When they get beyond that wall, the little girl wants to stay. Her parents say it’s not safe anymore. La Colonia isn’t safe? Well, they’re not so wrong about that, I don’t think. Continue reading “18. Pillar of Salt, Season Two, Episode Twelve.
