Hallucinating is such a common and generic theme in the Walking Dead franchise now that it's gotten over blown.

Instead of spending an entire episode with a man hallucinating, you could've spent more time allowing him & Jenna Elfman's character to finally decide to get out of their base and explore/see the world as well as have some good common dialogue, but no! Instead, it was more or less mostly hallucinating.

Who's writing these mind numbingly dull scripts? Who's idea was it to have a miniature nuclear holocaust and then learn nothing about fallout and the dangers of radiation? Are we really supposed to care about a forty year old murder after that idiot Teddy launched nuclear missiles? Time for John to get killed off since he's a boring character who should have died instead of his son. To go back to the nuclear missiles-how did they realign them to fire off over America? And how come, since nuclear blasts are seen miles and miles away, no one in any of the other shows - especially the extremely badly done World Beyond, has any memory of these blasts? This show has gone from up and down to just down. This entire nuclear launch bit was really stupid.

I dont like how showrunners and writters are turning this wonderful series into an anthology. In Dave Ericson's times this used to be like a long movie split into episodes.

Sadly, this is the best episode of the season so far. It's time for Morgan and grace to go. They are both annoying and stupid. Victor has remembered that he wants to be king of the world so any episodes centric to him will be just as bad. I didn't particularly like this episode. It's just better than the first two. This really needs to be the last season.

Over the course of several months, John Sr. And June establish a routine while waiting out the year that June has determined is the time that they must wait before it is safe to go outside. However, the bunker becomes increasingly unstable over time with a wall collapse smashing their supply of liquor and revealing a secret room where Teddy had killed and embalmed his victims in the 1970s. John goes into alcoholic withdrawal and experiences hallucinations as a result of Teddy's last victim, Cindy Hawkins, whose body John had never been able to find. John's hallucinations and guilt cause him to search for clues to the location of her body with disregard to anything else.

He emerges from the bunker due to Cindy calling to him and, after putting down a reanimated Dakota, finds the Stalkers watching him. The Stalkers demand that John and June surrender, while John realizes June has been lying the whole time about how long they must wait, afraid of facing the outside world without her husband. Briefly abandoning June to search for Cindy's body, John snaps out of it in time to kill the Stalkers and save June. The two subsequently discover Cindy's body in the bunker by accident, bringing John peace. The bunker collapses, but the two are rescued by Strand's Rangers and taken to the Tower. When Morgan arrives at the bunker, Strand contacts him on a radio. Morgan threatens to kill his former friend if Strand hurts anyone he cares about, but Strand is unmoved by his threats.

Season 7, Episode 3 of "Fear the Walking Dead," titled "Cindy Hawkins," dives deep into the backstory of June and John Dorie Sr. As they find refuge in an old, abandoned bunker that once belonged to serial killer Teddy. This episode adeptly intertwines the current apocalyptic struggles with the psychological ghosts of the past, setting a chilling tone from the outset.

The central plot revolves around June and John Dorie Sr. As they sift through the remnants of Teddy's bunker, uncovering artifacts that reveal more about Teddy's gruesome past, and importantly, the mysterious Cindy Hawkins. The bunker serves as a claustrophobic backdrop, enhancing the episode's tense and eerie atmosphere. As they delve deeper, they encounter physical and emotional traps left behind, which Teddy had set for his victims, metaphorically trapping June and John as well.

A particularly striking scene involves the discovery of Cindy Hawkins' belongings, leading to a cathartic moment for John Dorie Sr., who had been haunted by his failure to capture Teddy sooner in his career. This moment is both a narrative and emotional climax of the episode, as it confronts the theme of unresolved past trauma and the search for redemption. The episode does a commendable job portraying how past and present horrors can intertwine, mirroring the outside world's chaos within the confines of the bunker.

Cindy Hawkins" stands out in its season for its psychological depth and character development, particularly for John Dorie Sr., who emerges as a more fleshed-out character grappling with guilt and seeking closure. The cinematography and tight scripting keep viewers engaged, while the episode's pace maintains suspense and dread effectively. Overall, this episode is a strong entry in the series, offering a mix of psychological horror with poignant drama, and emphasizes that sometimes the ghosts of the past are as terrifying as the zombies outside.

Nuclear radiation, zombies and intense boredom. Not a combination that's easy to put together. They're using it to not only kill off the Walking Dead franchise but the whole genre. Dedicated to watching to the last episodes but dreading the experience. Like a zombie, the franchise is dead but still walking.

Nothing much to say just waiting for something to change. Maybe it's time to finally give the crap up What the hell is this show now... it used to be so epic.

It starts of brilliant, and Ends Brilliant! I seriously can not wait for the next episode. I will admit, the fist 2 episodes were meh, but still good! Defo an improvement from previous seasons, im glad FTWD is finding its feet!

He's a great actor I get that you want to write and give the episode for him. But in lines of FTWD storyline, I don't care about his story. This should've been webisode at best. Can you plz focus on main characters again? Really missing s1-3 style where we follow Clark family and the others around. Sorry Clark members wanted to exit the show. Is this why you don't want to focus on mains anymore? Or is it because you can only afford two good actors per episode ?????? Sorry for rude review. But really Not enjoying these sub character based episodes. And you even made June sub sub. Really ?

Well I see by the past 2 episodes, the show is back to focusing on only a couple of characters. I figure they're on a tight budget with less people watching every season, but boring episodes will not revitalize the show.

I mean John and June in a small underground bunker, last week Morgan and Grace. Who Cares? What is the overall plot, storyline, and where is this show heading? You can't keep using Covid as an excuse year after year for these cheap "2 character" shows. There is a brand new show that recently began airing called "Ghosts" and it has like 8 major characters each week. You really can move a plotline with a lot of characters and except for 2 of them, the rest of their characters are dead also. The TWD universe is spread over 3 different shows and they all seem to be going nowhere.

The length of the review has to have a certain minimum, and so does the essence of an episode before viewer is forced to change a channel. Enough to sit for the duration of the show, not enough to enjoy it.

The first few minutes, the repetition of the daily routine was interesting, everything else but the last few minutes was rubbish.

It is even difficult to give a "spoiler", because the whole episode is rotten.

Fear the walking dead season 6 was pretty good compared to season 4&5 but now when it comes to season 7 it became worse than before how pathetic writing and screenplay it dissapoints a TWD verse fan who waits every week for one episode and get one with a worse. So I have decided to watch it continue when the whole season is streamed so that I don't have to wait for some weekly sleeping pill.

SNOOZEFEST... I'm officially done with this show. Horrible episodes back to back that don't push the show on... I'm outta here.

Nobody cares about these character based episodes that do not carry on the point of the show.

Yep, well, that was an episode of ftwd,... The pluses, set design, camera, lights, vibe.

The minuses - Everything else. Just doesn't go anywhere. Why shoe horn a dry horrors aging detective story into this world. Is that really the most interesting idea they could come up with in a zombie world post nuclear devastation?

And the actors delivered as best they could on this silliness, but,.....I mean, come on, it's Keith Carradine, who obviously needs a payday in trying times too, but this production should be ashamed of placing this infront of him.
