46 thoughts I had watching the Fear The Walking Dead season 6 finale

Fear The Walking Dead season 6 closes out a truly epic run with this week’s season finale, “The Beginning”.  In last week’s episode, Morgan and the others failed to stop Teddy’s plan to deploy missiles from the beached sub in an effort to bring his vision of the rebirth of the world into reality. Only one missile was launched, but that missile was packed with ten warheads. Now the survivors must either try to survive or accept their fate.

The episode is a collection of vignettes showing how the scattered small groups are preparing for the end or trying to fight to survive. Some storylines are resolved, and others are just getting started. If season 7 has the same format and quality that this run of episodes has had it will be a fantastic season. Hopefully, the show has finally found solid footing and will continue to grow and push the boundaries of genre TV.

Fear The Walking Dead season 6 episode 16, “The Beginning,” airs on AMC+ on Thursday, June 10th, and on AMC on Sunday, June 13th. But there are spoilers everywhere so if you’re trying to avoid finding out anything before you watch, you should tread lightly on social media.

Fear The Walking Dead went bigger than ever this season and it paid off. The anthology format, upgraded writing, and the addition of amazing actors like John Glover helped create a new path forward for Fear. Season 7 is going to be a must-see season as the survivors try to figure out how to live through a second apocalypse.
