The spoilers through season 4 of "Fear The Walking Dead" follow.

Sunday night episode of Fear the undead solidifies my discontent with the show. I am pissed off deeply and deeply and I am not sure that there is a return at this point. I write a eulogy for Fear, a show that, from time to time, was pretty good.

But mistakes have been made. Serious errors. The first of them made Morgan the new "leader" and Lennie James replaced Kim Dickens. Madison was not my favorite character but at least she made sense in this series. I did not always like how it was written, and even in its best season, season 3, there was a little too much exposure "she is so hard" of all the other characters in the series.

Despite all this, Madison anchored Fear and gave him direction. It was a story about her and her children, Nick and Alicia, and now this is not the case. It's a bit like The dead who walk, a story ostensibly about Rick and his son, Carl. Now this is not the case, Carl canceled the series prematurely last season and Rick came out of season 9. The question is what are the stories that these shows are trying to tell.

Yes The dead who walk is about the Grimes family and this family is killed, why continue with The dead who walk? It's like trying to keep going breaking Bad without Walter or Jesse. The story is over, let her die.

Even with Fear, unless the showrunners have the courage to make Alicia's story. They do not, of course. Scott Gimple is responsible for both shows and his footprints are everywhere. Morgan is the first mistake in this equation. This is a good, secondary character, a good pacifist voice in Rick's ear TWD, and even interesting sometimes Fear especially early. But this is not a prominent man. Morgan is not that character and this season suffers a lot.

For example, Morgan takes center stage in episode 14, "MM 54". He is blamed for putting them in trouble with Martha, the wicked newcomer (whose story was lame and unconvincing). Morgan is blamed and then charged with finding a solution. His solution is to go to the hospital in what appears to be Austin, TX. The hospital unsurprisingly swarms with the undead. They find a safe zone but soon the zombies cross and they have to escape.

So, for some totally unexplainable reason, everyone turns to Morgan again. It's as if no one else in this group thought about anything. Nobody was able to solve problems or think before Morgan appeared. So, he needs to find the idea by himself. And he suggests getting on the roof to get there by rotating the generators and climbing the elevators. Because for some reason, the roof is the easiest place to escape.

But really, why continue to pin things on Morgan? It's so unnatural and forced. And the dialogue. What's going on with the dialogue? After the painfully obnoxious brewer, Jim, gets bitten (thank god, we do not need to hear him complaining anymore), June approaches Morgan and tries to comfort him, as if the Jim's bite was once again Morgan's fault. "He asked me to save him," Morgan said softly.

Oh good mourning, shut your mouth to Morgan. Whoever thinks that is how people act should be expelled from the room of the author. None of these people has a real connection between them. Nobody cares about Jim. The first time Morgan saved him, he complained that it was taking too much time. Nobody shed tears at this point. And it's not Morgan's fault if this guy is so incompetent. Morgan does not have to be a martyr / saint 24/7. Or maybe he should not be the central character in the first place!

In any case, they are stuck on the roof like a bad doppelganger of The walking Dead first season when Rick and his crew were stuck on a roof in Atlanta. Meanwhile, Charlie and Alicia have given up looking for their friends (knowledge?) Because, as Alicia points out, they could be anywhere where they could be dead and the research could just kill them. So she takes Charlie to the beach but instead they find a flooded area where, yes, of course, they find John and Strand. Of course that they do it. Why not them? After all, Texas is a tiny state and you have to meet friends once separated and … okay, I'm sorry, it's so bad.

It's so bad right now. Season 3 misses me.

Scattered thoughts

• As I mentioned earlier, Martha's story was terrible. So, she lost someone and went crazy alone for five years? Yes indeed. I'm sure she survived all that time alone without ever meeting anyone until the truckers passed. Never lost a pound all that time either.
• Plus, you might think that the super organized truckers that Polar Bear could have dropped, I thought, would find that someone was targeting them and trying to do something. May be. Just a thought.
• I am sick of these confrontations. Of course, Martha is a crazy new, but these endless conflicts with fools are ridiculous and annoying. At least Season 3 had a really complex pair of antagonists at Otto and Troy.
• Where is Daniel? Maybe Ruben Blades thinks twice before coming back. He was great when he arrived last season but it may be time to hang up the hat.
• The show has too many characters at this stage anyway. We must kill more than Jim. Both truckers / robbers have to leave. Luciana is still totally useless. Decrease the cast and evoke Alicia's trip.
• And for the love of God, stop constantly separating the actors for artificial reasons, so that any story can be about their return. It's just an amateur conspiracy.

What did you think? Am I too hard? Let me know Twitter or Facebook.
