Fear the Walking Dead - Season 5 Episode 04: Skidmark
Season 5 begins with a series of new tasks as the group faces unexpected risks in a short period of time. When the group lands in an unknown area in search, you will face more real risks in search of survivors. Morgan and Alicia are trying to meet on a mission with a new survivor as the group struggles to achieve its high goal during that period.
As soon as you saw the airplane propellers, you knew what was coming. But that doesn't ruin the sheer delight that comes from watching dozens of zombies walk directly into a spinning propeller.
"Skidmark" doggedly keeps the show focused on this plane while forcing some questionable subplots and interactions with characters they should have avoided.
What works best in "Skidmark" isn't the way Strand uses a two-engine plane's propellers to puree a few dozen walkers. No, the episode's high point is much simpler, and quieter, than all of that.
This season is moving really slow. The most compelling part has been Daniel's story. I hope we get an episode that shows us what he did to survive the dam explosion and get to the warehouse.
Lost is the grittiness and tension of the original show. In its place, rosy optimism abounds. Season 5's saccharine storytellings undermines the entire reason we watch zombie shows.
The storyline actually doesn't make that much sense. We still don't really understand why Daniel is in Texas, how he survived the events of the season three finale, or why he's holding down the fort at the warehouse.
If not for their all-star cat, tonight's episode "Skidmark" would be another average subplot. With Skidmark, Daniel's tabby cat companion, a feline star is born.
Another solid episode for Season Five. It's going to be fun to see what's next for Al, too. We haven't seen her in a little while, so it'll be good to catch up.
