Chris's death was the greatest moment in the show so far - Fear the Walking Dead (2015) Discussion

It s like the writers just said, "We all hate this character right? Let's just give him a boring death." And all the viewers rejoiced

It wasn't that boring, he got a compound fracture and then a bullet to the forehead. I guess it was a little too quick but oh well.

Accurate. I was worried he might not actually be dead, a la Glenn, considering his death was not shown in real time. I thought it might be Travis imagining what happened, not what actually happened--but Talking Dead made it pretty clear. So glad that character is gone.

Yeah any doubts they confirmed it on Talking Dead making it official, official. Actor already moved on. Chris is done and the show is SO much better for it.

But...the rest of the episode confirmed what actually happened. Madison heard the two boys talking about Chris dying, then was conflicted and had that conversation with Victor who told her not to tell Travis. That's why they were making the two boys leave the hotel, because they knew if Travis found out Chris was dead he would kill them (this part was made abundantly clear, honestly). Then Travis caught them in a lie and figured out they killed Chris, then they admitted to killing Chris. Then Travis killed them in revenge for killing Chris. Considering all of this, I don't see how you thought Chris could still be alive and Travis was just imagining it. You really didn't need Talking Dead to confirm anything. Chris's death was central to most of the episode because it was the catalyst for everything that happened at the hotel.

Nothing you have to say is anywhere near as useful or important as you think it is.

It's Chris... he didn't deserve an honorable death. The guy killed people, and he attacked his own father. Who does that? There is despicable and then there's Chris. So he falls asleep at the wheel and drives into a derelict vehicle. Dead.

That was definitely very pleasant to see Chris being killed. He was a menace to Madison and Alicia, and who knows who else, this way he won't harm anyone else.

Even if he was a psycho killer, he was just a kid,....did not deserve to end up like that, being put down like an animal, trying to escape with an wound like that....it was brutal

You honestly think they should be given a free pass because they're kids?

Oh, yeah, totally. Kids are totally harmless and not to be feared @ https://www.rt.com/news/356636-death-toll-wedding-attack/

Granted, most normal kids are harmless little human beings but people like Chris (a fictional character) and the kid that killed 51 people are a threat.

Calm down, I've never said they were harmless, I've just said he was a kid who was already struggling to find a place, before the apocalypse, and when he wrongly felt belonging to a group, the reality came quite brutally. That's all. At least the two others met their fate brutally too.

Now you're just totally contradicting yourself within the same post. If you're emphasizing that "at least the two others met their fate brutally too", implying that they deserved it, how did Chris not deserve it? He stalked Madison and Alicia in their sleep whilst holding a knife, stood by watching while Madison was getting attacked by a walker, and more importantly, has murdered several people. Chris was not a good person, certainly no better than the two boys he abandoned his dad to go with. You're applying different standards by saying Chris is "just a kid" but the other two kids "at least" met their fate brutally too.

You keep misunterpreting my words."Deserving it" is a bit absolute, but yeah they had that coming. Of course, Chris became a killer, and that was wrong but I was more conflicted with THE WAY he died. The poor kid had no family, he lost his mother in a hard way, and he was pretty much ditched by everyone, and he died far away from anyone who has ever cared about him....put down like an animal on the road.....
So the story pretty much had him learned in the worst possible way that he was wrong to follow these douchbags and embracing their philosophy. That was a realistic and brutal death, brought up through a nice flashback, good writing acutally.

He threw his lot in with those boys. He knew what they were about and actively participated in killing another boy for the same reasons. Karma is a *beep*.

It's too cerebral! We're trying to make a movie here, not a film!

I’d of preferred it if it was told in real time, the flashback felt a bit anti climatic to me. It would of been better if an episode ended with Chris's death, the next episode they turn up at the hotel and try to keep going with their fake story for an episode or two, until Travis snaps and goes Rambo on em.

Good riddance to Chris! I was delirious with joy that he was killed off.
