They manage to locate Mickey on their own and decide to work together to find her husband.īut things go sideways at this point. But they quickly deduce that Strand is a little too Negan-like when this paradise world he’s created, and they opt out of his invitation. He wants them to help him find Mickey and bring her back. I’m betting that “Padre” is one of the islands in that vicinity, one of several military bases in that region, or perhaps even the aircraft carrier that’s perma-docked at Corpus Christi’s bayfront.)īut moving on… Fear the Walking Dead Season 7 Episode 5 (AMC)ĭwight and Sherry end up being kidnapped by Strand’s people. It’s north of South Padre and right around the Corpus Christi region. (Having grown up in that part of Texas myself, I’m kind of surprised no one has brought up the oh-so-obvious Padre Island that’s nearby. They’re also still living with that family that took them in, finding food for them, and together they’re all trying to find Padre. In a sense, they’re in a constant state of trying to make up for ever working with Negan, even if they had to do so against their will. They’re on a mission to right wrongs and help the underdogs when they’re being taken advantage of. The episode starts out by revealing that Dwight and Sherry are the “dark horses” we’ve been hearing about.

But now they’ve basically turned him into this cartoon-evil character (although Colman Domingo himself does a great job of selling that character with immense bravado and flourish.) He was the type who put himself first and sometimes made some pretty major blunders in the process. As I’ve said in some of my previous reviews, they’ve really changed his character this season into a caricature of what it was before. Another thing that bothers me is Strand’s overall storyline. It constantly bothers me how cavalier they are with fallout. How the show handles radiation fallout in the most unrealistic way possible is one of them. Of course, there are still certain elements of the show that will continually bother me. The actors were really in sync and you could tell they cared about the roles they played. Their dialogue, back-and-forth dynamic, and the way the two characters truly seem to care about each other.

In fact, Dwight and Sherry overall really shined in this episode.

They had a compelling plot this time around that really tugged on my emotions, and I couldn’t help but find myself feeling invested in how things were going to turn out. I went into it thinking I wasn’t going to enjoy the episode very much because last season, I just didn’t love how Dwight and Sherry’s storylines were handled. This was a Dwight-and-Sherry focused episode. I’m Still Bothered By How Radiation Is Handled, But the Storyline This Week Was Great Fear the Walking Dead Season 7 Episode 5 (AMC) This article is a Fear the Walking Dead Season 7 Episode 5 review of “Till Death,” based on watching the episode as it aired on AMC+. When the episode concluded, I was left feeling like I had enjoyed far more about it than I had disliked, despite the plotholes. While some things still really bothered me (like how they handle radiation fallout), there were a lot of things to like about this week’s episode. Fear the Walking Dead Season 7 Episode 5, “Till Death,” was an improvement over the last few episodes.
