Sizzlin' Summer Streaming 23' - Fear the Walking Dead - Season Eight/Series Finale

After eight long season, Fear the Walking Dead's final season has now come to a close.

Commencing mid-May this year, they dragged it out in two parts to conclude last night/yesterday on Binge.

The OG spin-off to The Walking Dead, FTWD first started all the way back in 2015. No breaks for COVID or the writers/actors strike. FTWD ran a long race. With hardly any OG characters making it to the finish line.

This (final) season takes place seven years after season six finale, having the (remaining) characters living on the island known as "PADRE".

So how does episode 12 of season eight go down? There is a great review plus hilarious online comments on TV Line's recap HERE.

Other SPOILERS INCOMING....  Now convinced that trying to help others only gets people killed, Madison attempts to set out with Tracy to find Alicia, putting Madison at odds with her friends. 

Russell reveals that Alicia might still be alive before launching an attack on PADRE with thousands of walkers in retaliation for Troy's death. Tracy shoots Madison and puts down and buries a zombified Troy before later being found by Strand. 

Strand reveals that although PADRE was destroyed, everyone escaped because Madison, having been protected from the bullet by Alicia's St. Christopher's medallion, had once again seemingly sacrificed herself to destroy the herd the way that she did at the stadium. 

Renaming the organization MADRE in honor of Madison's sacrifice, the group splits up to use MADRE's supplies to build new communities and honor Madison's ideals of trying to build something better. 

June decides to return to John Dorie's cabin with Odessa and to provide medical attention to those in need while Dwight and Sherry set out to find the still missing parents of PADRE's children, intending to rebuild the Sanctuary with them. 

Daniel and Strand finally make peace before parting ways and Daniel is reunited with his long-lost cat Skidmark.

Madison is rescued by Tracy and reunites with a still alive Alicia who reveals that she is not Tracy's mother. Madison and Alicia let Strand know that they survived, but choose to keep their survival a secret otherwise. Madison decides to return to Los Angeles with Alicia and Tracy to help rebuild their old home.

Oh well that was a waste of time. At least it's all over.. well until the next Walking Dead spin-off lands in late February 2024. Yes Rick Grimes is back!
