For this episode 67 of Fear the Walking Dead Talk Through, Mark, Kyle and I talk through End of the Line. Fear the Walking Dead Season 5 Episode 16 was written by the showrunners Ian Goldberg & Andrew Chambliss, and directed by Michael E. Satrazemis.

This episode began with feedback on S5E15 Channel 5 from Todd and Aaron. Discussion about the season finale, in particular, begins at 13 minutes 27 seconds into the podcast.

There were some good points to celebrate in this season finale. We finally have our power couple, John Dorie and June, tie the knot this episode, in a very bittersweet scene at Humbug's Gulch. Dwight was great this episode, and the walker roundup and ride down the rapids were pretty great to watch, but we had a lot of problems with this episode.

With an ending that was similar to the final scenes of Madison in the Season 4 mid-season finale, but with a much different story told on Talking Dead. That time, they were very clear on Talking Dead that Madison was dead. Since I watched it a couple of nights early because I have AMC Premiere, I had to wonder if he was going to be dead, but it turned out that they didn't say either way. Clearly, whether he makes it through Season 6 or not, there will be some to tell. Could the long thought dead Madison save him? Could it be that Dwight did not hallucinate Sherry, that she's really alive and tried to make contact, and that she's the one who will save him next season? Is there a dumpster for Morgan to crawl under? :-)

Virginia, the person not the state, has a thing with alliteration that I'm making fun of here and with my rating. That wasn't the only Ginny thing that bothered me; I really had a problem with Ginny's strategy of splitting apart the group, even as far as at the family level. If she's really an efficiency expert, you would think she would realize that the best way for our people to be productive members of her society is for them to be content. There's no way they will be content and productive if families have been split apart, whether they are families in the traditional sense, or in the chosen sense. She's mean enough to keep Skidmark and Daniel apart? What good would that do?
