Oh man, where do they find all of these tapes, and how many people are able to watch them, when the problem is the electricity generation. You go back to TWD's pilot episode and you count the number of times, you've seen electricity or functional places to videos, and they can be counted with maybe one hand fingers.
I get why Al is documenting her journey, because somebody has to in case humanity somehow survives. It's one thing from the old world she cannot give up, and why should she? To us, the documentaries are a perfect way of catching some of the moments, but they rarely convey true character feelings. The reason for it is simple, none of us drop the guard and allow free emotions to flow.
Rescuing Tom's sister was a rare occasion, because it shows true feeling, but when you interview people, you'll have to bear in my that they change their posterior and act up rather drop guard down. That's why we have reality tv shows, because often in them, the cameras are hidden and the object doesn't always realise that's the bit that ends in the small screen.
Also watching the actors through Al's documentary eyes, you get confirmation that those bank vault tapes held the names of the people. Sure, they weren't titled, to remind the viewers of who's speaking, but like us, Virginia surely would have learned enough of things through them.
Funny bit was that John brought up the fact, his "western towns" were build to operate without electricity. So, who is watching the videos and how?
If you're in the need, cooking saline isn't magic. You don't have to risk your life to go out to hunt for sterile bags and giving sets. All you need is the bag, bottle, tubing and a butterfly needle. After that you'll have to know that any puncture can give you or your patient septisimia and if that happens, you'll better put them out, because the next phase is organ failure, death and turning.
There is no way they could treat the blood poisoning in the convoy. Grace however is a puzzle. She acts as if she's in great deal of pain, as her skin looks clammy, but the colour of it is great. Nothing wrong it. No external bleeding. Not even on gums. No major hair loss.
Personally I would be in trouble, and I'd need doctors advice on how to treat her, if I'd were her carer. June, as a character has far more experience then I do, but honestly she looks as if she's panicking, when she found Grace unconscious, and unresponsive on floor. Frankly in her shoes I would have checked the pupils with a bright light, checked pulse, checked blood pressure to know if she's bleeding internally or if she's dehydrated, and then checked her responses against scratches and pokes, on both arms and at the bottom of the feet.
What makes Graces situation interesting is that we simply don't know what's wrong with her and why she's having trouble on retaining fluids?
Somebody needs glasses. An MRAP weight 14 tons, while a petrol truck can over 24 tons. Neither one of them had any business on going on the wooden bridge. One that nobody had been maintaining in the dead wasteland. It was just a foolish idea.
I was glad Strand did do the negotiation, except he should have had more of role rather than standing back and allowing Morgan to dictate the future. Although Virginia calling in a horde was same as declaring war, or committing a murder in the Kirkman's world. .
One thing though I really loved finarlly on having some action. For the series called Fear The Walking Dead, this is probably the only time in this season when I have felt my heart thumping.
Funny thing was that Al was doing the editing on her editing, and she was doing it until the batteries died and she was left without the means of doing a quick edit. I'm glad that in Tom's death, they showed the dangers of being a field investigator, as there are number of them that has passed in the recent years, because they were filming in the dangerous places.
Fifteen miles is nothing. Morgan and Dwight travelled on foot, without extra supplies hundreds of miles. In Morgan's case, thousands because he also tracked Rick. Sure there are the dead, but the closest horde is on the otherside of the broken bridge. In fact, there was no walkers, until they reached the ranch, and then it looked as if somebody had deliberately lead all of them in there.
This might be a speculation, but maybe that is the reason why there was no walkers. Then there was the disappointment, the actors were claiming that they barely made it, with all the guns and gear they were hauling. "There's nothing we can do," someone said.
Why do you hauls guns with attached optics if there is nothing you can do. Those dead, inside the ranch, they are not going be a threat if the fences can hold against "the buffalos." You line up on the ridge your best shooters, and then give them spotters, and you start doing your job. That is surviving. There is nothing more important and since you can see miles around empty fields, you can be sure that the muzzle report coming from the rifles isn't going to carry over the four thousand yards. Beyond that, the report is going to be too low and too distant for the dead to hear with their rotten ears.
Tell me why would you carry ammo if you cannot use it? Why would lug an empty gun with you?
"Virginia, we need your help..."
