Alicia is the only reason i'm still watching this... none of the characters are interesting anymore. The writers should've kept nick & troy alive because killing them off is killing the show off.

S4.E12 - Well.. it's Decent [7.5/10]

Warning: Spoilers
(S4. E12) My Reaction / Review for Fear The Walking Dead Season 4 Episode 12 ''Weak'': Damn Al is sick. Who took Al's van? And they lost the van, perfect. Morgan is not giving up. June is going alone to get the van back? Sounds like a really bad idea. June can fight, well done. This guy she met was very hostile for no reason. June was right they could work together but he didn't want to. So June was able to take the van back but she cant find the medicine? So there is no medicine? Al lied, that sucks. She is sick and she needs medicine. That woman with the walker, what the hell, she is nuts. Overall a good episode, my rating is 7.5/10.
Through Morgan's journey, the episode explores themes of redemption, forgiveness, and the struggle to maintain one's humanity in a world overrun by death and destruction
fernandoschiavi20 April 2024
June and Al are stranded in the middle of a road as the SWAT truck has no gas. They locate a truck and find a box telling them to take what they need. Suddenly, the SWAT truck drives past Al and June. Al chases after it, dangerously speeding the truck, which maneuvers around a refrigerator and causes them to pop a tire and spin out. Al, who's getting sicker by the second, reveals to June that all her medicine is in the truck. June tracks the SWAT truck and the thief whom she threatens at gunpoint to leave. June radios Al to ask where the medicine is but learns there is no medicine and she just wanted her to get the van back. Al confesses the tapes in her van are all she has left of the people she used to know and love.
Morgan eventually reaches June on the walkie and her and Al meet him at a mile marker. June radios the thief, Quinn, to tell him that he can come with them, but he is killed by Martha's Walker who she lets go and replaces with the reanimated thief.
"Fear the Walking Dead," Season 4, Episode 12, "Weak," continues to explore the aftermath of the dam explosion and the group's efforts to survive in a harsh new world. The episode primarily focuses on Morgan Jones as he grapples with his past and tries to find his place among the group.
The episode opens with Morgan encountering a man named Jim, who is trapped in a pit surrounded by walkers. Despite Jim's pleas for help, Morgan initially hesitates, reflecting on his own past mistakes and the lives he has taken. This introspective moment sets the tone for the episode, highlighting Morgan's internal struggle with his violent tendencies and his desire to find redemption.
As the episode progresses, Morgan and Jim join forces with Alicia, Strand, and Luciana to find a way out of their current predicament. Along the way, they encounter a group of survivors who have taken refuge in a brewery. The brewery serves as a temporary sanctuary, but tensions soon arise as the survivors grapple with the scarcity of resources and the constant threat of the undead.
One of the standout scenes in "Weak" is when Morgan is forced to confront his inner demons as he faces off against a group of hostile survivors. In a powerful moment of character development, Morgan chooses to spare their lives, signaling a shift in his outlook on violence and conflict resolution.
Overall, "Weak" is a compelling episode that delves deep into the psyche of its main character. Through Morgan's journey, the episode explores themes of redemption, forgiveness, and the struggle to maintain one's humanity in a world overrun by death and destruction.

fake baddies with no back story or motive
Rob-O-Cop4 September 2018
With their inability to focus on a good thing (John Dorie, maybe Morgan) the writing team have conjured up a baddie out of thin air since we don't have enough of those with zombie hordes or ambivalent truckies and the core team fighting their own demons.
So lets introduce sadistic Whoppie Goldberg clone. is she mad, why is she insane?, what's her motivation and what is her end game? like all bad American cinema these things just are, don't question it, don't look for reason logic or motivation, accept it and look forward to their demise after squirming at a few episodes of them being illogically cruel. At least she's weaponising zombies again though.
This episode was so decidedly average and wheeled out so many tiresome well worn tropes (radio signal won't work, signpost changed, sickness, easy kill zombie left and becomes a threat when they least expected it but we oh so expected it, etc etc,... yawn). The jam is spread so thin on this series it's like eating a loaf of white bread.
I Fear TWD Soap Opera. Episode Title: Weak. Episode: Weak. How the Zombie World Turns.
Bababooe3 September 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Last week's Morg and new crew Jimbo, Trucker Chick, and Wheelchair Guy, hook up with June and Althea (Al). How exciting! Now we need to find Cowboy John, Vic the Drunk, Turntable Luc, No Kill Alyc & Backstab Char, and all head to TWD before the writers' strike out of decency.
This Weak episode opens with June and Al with the Swat Van, apparently ran out of gas. How dumb is that? Amateur hour at the zombie apocalypse. These two women made it this far and now they run out of gas. June's watching old home movies of John when he was a baby and destroying the batteries for their walkie talky. These batteries are apparently non rechargeable!?! Al casually tells June about the non-chargeable batteries. Me think maybe these 2 survivors would know better than to destroy their telecommunications. They hear some distorted voices on the walkie and head out walking, even though Al is sick. They are the new dynamic dummies (Thelma and Louise). They find a car and end up on a high speed chase after Al's stolen SWAT van and blow a tire. Al is very sick and needs medicine, and now she tells June that there is medicine in the SWAT van and pleads with June to go get her van. Now, anyone with average intelligence would ask "why didn't you take the medicine before we left the van?" That does not happen. June finds the van and a bus on its side. Random Fool pulls a gun on June. Now, June says to Fool, I've done what you're doing and you don't have to kill. This is where our "WRITERS" give us clues into June's background. Maybe she's the real leader of the Vultures. But now she's found love (John), and good people. June then overpowers Fool, and tells him to get lost. She looks through the van for the medicine, and finally Alt tells her on the walkie that there is no medicine, she just wanted her van back, with the video tapes. Those tapes are all she has left. There seems to be a running theme here. Remember our friend, the junk Queen Jade (TWD) getting all emotional when Neeg threatened to burn pictures of her friends? Unbelievable!
While June was having her Fool and Van moment, Al tried to fix the tire, with prominent shots of the car jack and a walker approaching. You can't spell this out any clearer. The jack kicked over and the walker is pancake. This was the same thing Morg and Alcy pulled in the lumber yard. A dozen walkers and a convenient crane with lumber, push a button, no more walkers. Lazy writing, zero tension. Zombies are just props. Not very important to the show.
Ok, June is back to the car with Al, and she brought medicine found on the bus. How convenient! Al looked like death. Now, she's all good. Hair is fashionable again. Tire is fixed. They hear Morg on the walkie, and he's only 50 miles away. June wants to go now. Al say she's going to her van. Then psyche out, Al goes with June.
While all this is happening Morg and New Buddies are searching for the Z-Team. Morg bumps into New Wacko, real casual garbage talk. Morg "Well, I'll be moving on now". Yeah, OK! Where is the tension. Anybody remember there's a bunch of dead people looking to eat you. Well, June and Al hook up with our new Trucker Team, and Morg/No Kill, peace loving monk, says they leave care packages. Love! They stole the truck from the care package leaver, and now they're looking to return the truck, and leave packages. Morg found the calling of his life. He's like Moses (or Morges) passing out love and happiness through a dead world. Convoluted Contrived Nonsense. You can't make this stuff up, unless you're a writer for Fear TWD Soap Opera.
June now feels bad that she let Fool go. Fool pulled a gun on her, and was probably going to kill her. June told Fool, hey, I was like you once. What, a thief? A killer? Who knows. And that Fool didn't need to be like that and that he could join June and Al. After June got the gun she told Fool to get lost. Now June feels bad, uses more walkie batteries to contact Fool and tells him to head to I27. Fool, now found more diesel, and is driving Al's van to I27. Fool gets to I27 radios in but no Trucker Team. He walks over to the sign, and sees it's been tampered with. I21 changed to I27. Now, our Wacko comes out and kills Fool with her pet walker. Best part of this Weak episode. 1 extra star.
Wacko uses walkers to kill. Fool didn't notice that I27 followed I20. Now he's Wacko's new pet walker.
Man, everybody praises Lennie James's acting. Well, he gets a good paycheck and keeps a straight face. Maybe he is great for having to deal with a dreaded convoluted script and plot. He just walks through this, phoning it in. So casual. All the characters are unbelievable. Wheelchair guy, how does he get in and out of the truck? Trucker Chick, so cool. Jimbo "I make beer". That's for the audience. The characters shouldn't be wasted when fighting zombies. Al, videographer, nice hair, swat van, but wait there's a crack of some personality there. June? Who the hell knows. Just make some stuff up. Fool, we hardly new him. There's a scene in the Good the Bad and the Ugly where some idiot has the guns on Ugly, but rather than shooting Ugly they talk. Well, Ugly ends up killing the idiot, and says "If you're going to shoot, shoot, don't talk". Fool, what a name.
My friends, we are presented with some serious convoluted nonsense. The only entertainment left is in tearing this thing apart and laughing at it.
The zombies are a backdrop. The name of the show FTWD. The Dead pose no threat anymore. People just wander down the street without FEAR. Jump out of truck with unlimited supplies of food and water for strangers. Within the story of a zombie apocalypse we are presented with characters acting like cartoon characters.

Storyline: June watches John's story on Althea's tapes and radios him to thank him for the kind words he said on the tape. Althea returns and tells her to conserve the battery on the radio. Without gas, they're forced to hang out by the truck for a day.
The next morning, they hear someone on the walkie. June asks if it's John but is met with silence. Althea starts feeling ill so June convinces her to come with her to track down the person on the radio.
Meanwhile, Morgan makes Sarah and Wendell stop the truck so he can radio his friends.
Elsewhere, June and Al locate a truck with a walker in the backseat. They drive the truck back and June apologizes for using all the battery in her camera. Al forgives her and tells her that she never really had anyone before the apocalypse because of her strenuous work life. They try the walkie again and unknown to them, they are overheard by the woman that Morgan communicated with before. Morgan barely hears June on his walkie and walks off to finds a better signal.
Suddenly, the SWAT truck drives past Al and June. Al chases after it, dangerously speeding the truck, which maneuvers around a refrigerator and causes them to pop a tire and spin out. Al, who's getting sicker by the second, reveals to June that all her medicine is in the truck.
Morgan unknowingly stumbles upon Martha, the woman that radioed him back in Mississippi, and tells her she can take what she needs from his box. She ominously warns Morgan to "be careful." He leaves as she dumps out water from a clean bottle and replaces it with dirty water. She then puts a lighter to the top and places it back in the box.
June struggles to replace their truck tire while Al's condition continues to worsen. They hear the SWAT truck guns down the road and Al begs June to run over to it, which she reluctantly agrees to. She quickly locates it but is held at gunpoint by a man, who asks where her friend is. Turns out he overheard them on the radio.
June pleads that she just wants the medicine, but he won't budge. She grabs his arm and they wrestle for the gun until June wins. She runs over to the truck to discover it's out of gas again. Inside, June can't find the medicine and demands the man to tell her where it is, but he pleads ignorance, so she lets him go.
June radios Al to ask where the medicine is but she doesn't respond because she's busy fighting off a swamp walker while trying to stay awake. Al finally kills it by crushing it with the truck and radios June to tell her there is no medicine and she just wanted her to get the van back.
June returns with medicine she found on the bus, which instantly helps Al recover. June chastises her for almost getting both of them killed but Al brushes it off. June's still upset, and demands to know why the truck matters to her so much. Al confesses the tapes in her van are all she has left of the people she used to know and love.
Morgan climbs a water tower to communicate his location with a stronger signal, and Al and June miraculously hear him. Their walkie dies but June says they have the gas to make it to his location. Unable to abandon the SWAT truck, Al tells June to go without her. June pleads for her to stay but Al leaves anyway. As June drives off, Al fires her gun and then decides to come along after all.
At night, Morgan, Wendell, Sarah and Jim prepare to drive off until June and Al drive up behind them. They finally reunite and Morgan tells June he still hasn't found the others. Morgan offers them water from the "take what you need" box while June takes Morgan's walkie to radio the man from before.
She tells him to come with them and he introduces himself as Quinn. He eventually shows up at the agreed upon mile marker and asks where she is, and to their confusion, they're both "at" Mile Marker 27. Quinn discovers a "7" was stuck on to the sign and he's really at Mile Marker 21 when suddenly he's attacked by a walker controlled by Martha.
The walker bites out his neck as Martha turns off the radio. Martha lets go of her previous walker, Purvis, and attends to Quinn, who's nearly turned and tied up in the back of the SWAT truck. She writes "People You Know" on his face and tells him he won't be weak anymore. Quinn reanimates as Martha evily smiles down at her new pet.
