    Have to say after watching 401 of Fear I havn't felt this way about the Walking Dead tv universe for about three seasons now. I honestly think I havn't seen a TWD episode that good since about season 6.

    And at the end of the episode when we saw Alicia, Nick, and Strand again it made me realize that I am now completely more attached to Fear's characters than I am TWD's.

    I honestly think TWD season 8 finale should have been the series finale for the show. I know that isn't going to happen because there is no way AMC is going to end one of their Walking Dead shows when they have nothing that can replace it in terms of ratings (though Fear doesn't get the ratings of TWD it is still easily the networks second highest rated show) but from a storytelling perspective this would have been the perfect point to end the show. They tried to tease a Maggie and Rick feud in the future but I seriously have my doubts much is going to come of that.

    I am really excited for the future of Fear on the other hand. THese new showrunners really seem like they have a good grasp on this franchise.

    I thought they had something going with Season 3 but really? I do not like the gang in Season 4 at all. They all seem to be spoiled bratz or assholes in brewing. No one is trustwhorty and Daniel Salazar was right to be hostile towards them.

    I rather prefer watching a Morgan spin off with him, the Cowboy and the journalist.

    i thought this episode was really fun to watch. i kind of liked seeing Morgan venturing out on his own and the new characters that were introduced. this definitely was a breath of fresh air for both shows. IMO they need to blend the two shows together some more.

    I love the new Fear and every new character we've seen, but that is just one episode of love.

    I'm so glad there is a new location. Living in a desert, forever anxious about water, when you have the whole world to try out, made no sense at all to me.

    I don't think I could ever love Fear more than TWD, no matter how good Fear becomes, because I have years of being invested in TWD characters. It will be great though, if Fear catches up.

    I've been enjoying fear more than the walking dead since 2nd half of season 2, and so far, season 4 is off to a great start.

    so far they have a really promising season 4 going on. this is probably better than any recent TWD storylines IMO. The saviors arc just lasted way too long and had little to no unpredictability.

    I guess I'm just having a hard time connecting to any of these characters. The most interesting one, to me, was Nick. And well.....yea.

    This has been true since the beginning of season 3. Fear's just better overall.

    It is much better. I never would have thought I'd give up on TWD and would only be watching Fear.

    Thus far season 4 of Fear is not the critical darling it is being hyped as. I much preferred season 3 of Fear

    And I also prefer TWD

    I understand.....I really am not as "invested" with these characters as I am the characters for TWD. By season 1 episode 1 I KNEW that Rick was going to forever and always be my numero uno. I have not yet had that connection with a character in Fear. And with each season of TWD I have connected to at least one new character while maintaining my attachment to others.

    With Fear I really liked Ofelia (dead) Nick (dead) Troy (dead) and Walker (MIA)

    Ok the above made me laugh out loud at work. Firstly, because you saying "connected" seems so blase and normal. Yet, your "connection" to Tom Payne, the magnificent, hunky, gorgeous, sexy, twinkle eyed hunk of man flesh is more that that. I even hesitate to use the word obsession since i share and understand it.

    If ever a viewer "connected" to a character then my vote for top award goes to you g/f. LOL

    I'm not as invested in the Fear characters as I was with the TWD characters during it's early seasons. However almost everything about TWD has just been terrible for the last two seasons. The TWD characters through about season 5 still hold a special place in my heart. However now I just think it is time for the show to end and at this point any further development we get for the TWD characters just hurts them.

    So you'd like them to end the show because, in your opinion, it's no longer good. Despite the other millions who still watch it?
