Had So Much Hope For This Season

The first few episodes, especially the Daniel one, looked like the series had finally made the turn from a dull show with dull characters doing stupid things but it now appears to be circling the toilet headed back to where it came from. Once again, the Clark family has brought death and destruction to yet another refuge of people trying to survive the apocalypse. They just show up and start inserting themselves in situations they have no business in and soon enough the place is in total chaos. When Jake was complaining about Madison and Walker going on a water run Alycia had the nerve to say "Nick backed it. And I back it.'. All I was thinking at that point was 'WELL WHO THE F#@% ARE YOU!?!? What is it about these people that the writers want us to see as leaders?

From this moment on I will watch in hopes of seeing the entire family picked off one-by-one or better yet all killed in one fell swoop. Even Stroud is less interesting. Daniel is the clear direction to take the series in.

The people on the ranch weren't going to last much longer anyway. The Clark family just hastened the inevitable.

There's a mid-season review from Forbes in the News, Rumors, and Gossip section of this forum titled "'Fear The Walking Dead' Season 3 Midseason Premiere Review: Madison Ruins Everything" that pretty much sums the series up.

Ya gotta love the final imagery of the ranch in flames and a pantry full of dead folks (most of them by the hand of Stabby McStabski Alicia Clark) while the Clarks ride off to find another 50 or so folks to waste. Kinda like another ranch the Clarks stayed at that wound up burning down. Man, these people are hell on a perfectly fine apocalypse. Can you imagine the abject frustration a zombie horde must feel when it took them weeks to amass and travel to a compound only to find out the Clarks have already destroyed it and killed all the poor schmucks that lived there? Tragic.

I think it's a well they probably go to far too often to the show's detriment. They're trying to show that no place is safe, but the Clark's do more damage than anyone else. This could be a compelling character arc if the Clark's slowly became morally dark survivalists, instead of being morally grey survivors. Probably more so with Madison and Nick rather than Alicia. I doubt they go that route. But it'll be a bold direction if they did.
