Episode Title: Love and Basketball
Original Airdate: 11-3-15

Well, we’re back to OTT Liv after she ate the brains of a murdered night security guard, who also coached a junior basketball team. The investigation had a nice build to it, starting out with the abusive father of one of the team members, then focusing on an anonymous donor to the victim’s team, but fell apart toward the end. The reveal felt cobbled together at the last minute. It was random, and not the good kind of random that last week gave us, but random as in “This guy? Really? Couldn’t have thought of a better resolution than this?”

Episode Title: Here’s Not Here
Original Airdate: 11-1-15

Remember in Season 4 when a lot of bad things were happening at the Prison and they interrupted everything to spend two full episodes catching us up on what the Governor had been up to? It happened again. Not with the Governor, but Morgan and his stick. So forget the insanity of the herd, the Wolves and the Is-Glenn-dead-or-not mystery, because none of it was addressed last night.

The episode opens with Morgan talking to the Wolf that attacked him at the end of the season’s second episode. Morgan did not kill him like the ending implied, but just dragged him to the holding cell below the armory. Then Morgan tells the Wolf his story.

Episode Title: Even Cowgirls Get the Black and Blues
Original Airdate: 10-27-15

Got your glass of sweet tea ready? This week Liv and Clive investigate the strangulation of a sweet country girl in the big city. The only suspects are her ex-con ex-boyfriend with anger management issues and her I’ll-give-you-an-advance-if-you-give-me-one boss.

Episode Title: Thank You
Original Airdate: 10-25-15

I don’t want to talk about it…but I guess I have to.

This week we follow everyone leading the Walkers out of the pit and away from Alexandria. Daryl is still on his bike riding along side Sasha and Abraham. Daryl decides to break off and ride back to town to help out, despite warnings from the other two. Rick heads back to an RV that blocked a road during the corralling of the herd, hoping to get the ones headed to Alexandria back on track. He ends up hurting his hand rather badly while killing one Walker, then is attacked by straggling Wolves (the ones Morgan let go) once inside the RV, that won’t start, with the herd baring down on him.

Episode Title: Real Dead Housewife of Seattle
Original Airdate: 10-20-15

Liv and Clive investigate the murder of a materialistic socialite. Though she was able to take her killer over the balcony with her, he was just a hired hitman, and they want to find who paid his check. They shuffle through the pile of suspects including an angry husband, hateful besties, and the owner of Max Rager himself, Mr. Van du Clark, the victim’s lover.

Episode Title: JSS
Original Airdate: 10-18-15

Well, I guess they don’t have to pay those pesky Alexandria extras anymore…

The Wolves that were ominously introduced in the Season 5 finale descended upon the sleepy community of Alexandria with no warning. Seriously, Carol was making a casserole and looked out the window to see one of her neighbors cut down in her front yard by a wild man with a machete. From there, chaos reigned. Wolves tore through Alexandria, killing nearly everyone we’ve never met. Carol eventually disguised herself as one of them and started taking them out ninja style till none were left. The Walker-alerting horn from the end of last week’s episode was from a semi that crashed after the tower guard shot the driver. Morgan made it back to town before anyone else and helped, in his new-Morgan-zenlike way, allowing the Wolves to choose to leave and live, which several did. But in the end, he did have to put one down for good.

Episode Title: Zombie Bro
Original Airdate: 10-13-15

It’s time to dude bro it up as Liv takes on murdered frat boy brains. She chugs beer, pulls pranks, and again has no filter between her brain and her mouth. It seems this week’s vic had a load of potential haters he previously pranked that might have liked to get revenge, but in the end it was a simple case of mistaken identity that was his downfall.

Episode Title: First Time Again
Original Airdate: 10-11-15

Not exactly picking up right where we left off, Rick, part of his group and some Alexandria residents are planning to lead thousands of Walkers out of a rock quarry the next day. Suddenly, one of the 18-wheelers keeping the Walkers trapped topples into the quarry, and everyone is in action mode. Though they were just doing a “dress rehearsal,” they have to follow through with the plan immediately.

Fear the Walking Dead Season:01

Posted on October 12, 2015October 12, 2015 by mrsthuro

Well, it was a bit of an uneven maiden voyage for this spinoff series. I thought things started off well, with a great sense of world and character building as this very serious epidemic started, but too soon it all fell apart. And not only did the story go south halfway through the season, but there was little to glean from the characters as well, leaving one to wonder “Why am I still tuning in?”

Episode Title: Grumpy Old Liv
Original Airdate: 10/6/15

Liv Moore is back for more brain-snacking fun and I’ll be taking over the recaps this season, because apparently I can’t get enough of the undead. I really enjoyed the first season, though it was a bit rocky at first, at least from the case-of-the-week angle, but quickly found its stride all around and went out with a bang (literally) by the finale. So I’m very psyched to see what Mr. Thomas has in store for the show this season. Let’s begin…
