Just knowing the name “Ophelia” (7×11)new episode Fear the walking dead (since 2015) our curiosity is awakened. Because it no doubt refers to a young woman associated with a very interesting character and not present enough of it lately. spin off from AMC, under the command of Andrew Chambliss and Ian Goldberg: Daniel Salazar, played by the versatile Reuben Blades.
It’s about his only daughter, played by Mercedes Mason from So Close But So Far (1×02) and who dies in El Matadero (3×14) thirty-four chapters later. And we remember her now, first of all actress Alicia Debnam-Carey behind the scenesfollowing in the footsteps of his colleagues Colman Domingo and Lenny James, who filmed three parts each in Fear the walking dead Until now.
If they take the place of Victor Strand and Morgan Jones, the rookie director will bring Alicia Clarke to life, and he has had no other major roles other than perhaps Lexa in the show’s seventeen episodes. 100 (2014-2020). And, in the opening sequence of his debut, she doesn’t look right with staging, rhythm or elaboration of dramatic content. For what the script of regulars Alex Delil and David Johnson doesn’t help much.
A plot that doesn’t hold up and goes from bad to worse
Just like Daniel Salazar’s cereals are written, devoid of crazy ingenuity and with incomprehensible arbitrariness that does not justify his recklessness, and therefore such a stupid compositionnot very believable, which puts a lot of pressure on this chapter Fear the walking dead. It would seem that even the actors do not believe in what they interpret. Neither Ruben Blades himself, nor Danay Garcia as Luciana Galvez, nor others.
But also unacceptable is the sudden clarity of his tricks, coming from those of his skills that we so lack. The plot itself leaves much to be desired., and in “Ophelia” there is, on the other hand, some deadly twist with the same lack of valid reasons as all the rest of Daniel Salazar’s behavior; and, if we thought the episode “Mourning Cloak” (7×10) was weak, then this one takes over.
In this situation, we do not care about the family hardships that Wes Colby Hallman endured. And not only this happens: at this moment we don’t even remember what caused them. But things can get worse: an example of absurd cruelty what happens next, and in addition, for the pleasure of blood lovers who are not lost Fear the walking deadmakes us even a bad body.
What the hell is going on with Fear the Walking Dead?
Equally regrettable is how this senseless decision is justified by the flimsy behavior of Daniel Salazar, played by Ruben Blades. And the subsequent allegedly emotional moment, the last straw; so it doesn’t move at all, but rather stays funny. Especially when the subsequent turn in the opposite direction narrative impudence which, in any case, lights a dangerous fuse for the future.
And maybe we could understand that this whole gigantic mix, the work of Alex Delil and David Johnson, with Alicia Debnam-Carey at the helm, is already enough for our tolerance as viewers. But there’s another nail in the coffin “Ophelia”, if you will allow the expression, is the last incoherent turn. This is the end of a long successful streak of four seasons in Fear the walking dead?
