Fear the Walking Dead - Season 5 Episode 08: Is Anybody Out There?
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.
All of that build up and no drama. These eight episodes could have been covered in four episodes, plus Althea's. The show is avoiding the questions we really want to know.
["Is Anybody Out There] was a real diamond in the rough. It proved there was still life yet in this spinoff, and part of the success of the installment was that our heroes finally escaped that horrible location.
The inane plot contrivances were stacked on top of each other, and the lapses in logic were plentiful. And yet, the episode still mostly worked, thanks to the happy ending the characters receive.
Will Fear have danger and deaths and shocking surprises going forward? For sure. But hopefully they hold on to this feeling, this kindness. Because having a sweet, caring zombie show is... Nice.
An intense mid-season finale. The ending was a bit anti-climactic. Felt like there was going to be something bigger. All the same, Father Gore would prefer the huge stuff be left for the actual season finale.
I can't say this unlikely alliance left me on the edge of my seat. But I'll borrow a page from this season's playbook by being optimistic regarding what the future holds for Fear.
It's hard to say why sometimes that Fear the Walking Dead is such a satisfying and exciting show, but "Is Anybody Out There?" showcases that element really well.
When Strand and Al were desperately trying to land the plane... it was a cheer-worthy moment. It was the reunions and other moments that really made the episode special, though.
