That episode was a freaking mess...

I'm very surprised my interest in Fear the Walking Dead is going up while my interest in the main Walking Dead show is plummeting fast.

On one hand, maybe it's expected, as TWD is on its eight season and is getting long in the tooth. But still, many things I'm starting to dislike about the show doesn't even have to do with the length of the series. It's just down to characters doing things that don't make much sense (like Jesus collecting those Saviors as prisoners), and very unsatisfying resolutions to conflicts that have been built up over time (Negan in plain view, with 50 of Rick's group having assault rifles....and they ALL miss. Can't even hit the other 4 people standing next to him. Not even graze them. They ran to safety, faster than the bullets!).

If TWD keeps pulling stuff like that, I'm just going to watch FTWD and catch the main show on Netflix some rainy day. It's getting aggravating and boring to watch Negan with his obvious comic book plot armor. There's no tension, which means there's no drama.

I agree. It's first episode shows what is happening in the future, the second one flashes back to the past. I do not like it.

The compound fight confused the hell out of me, we see 5 guys falling back that shot down Morgan and the two friendlies, than we see Morgan killing about 8/9 guys, and than a group of like 20 comes out the back again? Where did these guys suddenly came from? And it was stupid of them to not kill them, as soon as Neegan got the upper hand again they will kill again.

Yeah. This episode was a total mess. Serious new low for TWD. Just WTF? Did they get a 5 year old to write and cut it? Total shambles. Someone should be fired for this.

I thought it was just me. Very confusing. Worst, I don't care to figure out what happened because it was boring.

Not only was the action muddled, so was the moral message that they are trying to bring up. War is bad. Not when you're fighting for your freedom and life. After all, how many people were killed by Negan?

They are killing Negan, in bite size chunks.

Ironic that there's a TON of action in these last two episodes, and yet, the series took the biggest ratings drop in 5 years. It shows that having shootouts and loud noise doesn't make something automatically great.

I think the audiences want to move on from Negan too. I don't really care how he is in the comics - I think he's overrated and tiresome to watch on TV. Too comical, always leaning back with every other word...then throws out a penis, shit and sex joke for some 14 year old out there to giggle at. I don't think there's any depth, and we learn nothing from his history despite him being onscreen so much. Negan is Negan every week, and I think audiences want to move on.

They couldn't even make him injured from that last episode. The show is too beholden to the comics and his plot armor is too obvious.

Agreed
The Negan war is thrilling enough in the comics...no need to fuss about with it... Still, im hooked
Ill keep watching:/
