#FEAR THE WALKING DEAD SEASON TWO EPISODE FOUR SERIES#

That blinking look of still-feeling pain, after two blows to the head, is an overwhelmingly disturbing image. He does so, but it’s a viciously dark mercy killing. Teenage misery guts Chris (who has taken to wearing his hair in a little ponytail – all he needs now is an Ed Vardy t-shirt to reach pinnacle douchebaggery) decides to go for wander by himself, because what’s the worst that could happen? Exploring the fuselage of a crashed plane like the first guy to die in a horror movie, Chris’s early bravado at dispatching a couple of zombies quickly dissipates when he realises one survivor is still alive, begging him to be put out of his misery.

Fortunately, Daniel puts a stop to all this jollity by informing Nick that “you should not be joking about this”, and returns the series to its signature humourlessness. On the beach, Nick and Alicia (Alycia Debnam-Carey) lark about with some old uniforms, and briefly remind us what smiling looks like, in a show that seems determined to forget. Maddie frets about it, but Daniel (Rubén Blades), a cross between Nicky Clarke and Che Guevera, offers to supervise. They have their eye on the supplies from the wreckage – clothes, blankets, medicine, liquids under 100ml, presumably – and decide to take a speedboat to shore while Travis fixes the filter. “It’s a yard sale,” as Nick (Frank Dillane) puts it. The wreckage of the aforementioned plane has washed up on a nearby beach, and it’s caught the attention of the survivors on the boat. After bickering, Strand reluctantly assures Travis that he is a valued member of the team, before imploring: 'pretty please, fix the goddamned boat”, in a rather loud echo of Harvey Keitel’s famous line from Pulp Fiction. The surprising resourcefulness of Travis is not met with much gratitude from Strand (Colman Domingo), still making mysterious phone calls to an unknown other person (could it be the yet-to-be-introduced character played by Dougray Scott?), still delivering dialogue in a comically suave manner, still being generally a bit tetchy. (This is California, after all – perhaps boating and scuba diving is taught in Golden State schools as part of the curriculum, between surfing class and hacky sack 101.) Travis – who, let’s not forget, is an English teacher – appears to be intimately acquainted with both boat filtration systems and complex scuba diving equipment. Post-titles, Travis (Cliff Curtis) and Maddie (Kim Dickens) find their lovemaking interrupted, as lovemaking inevitably tends to be during the apocalypse, when Abigail’s engines overheat and fail. All this happens very rapidly, almost too rapidly to comprehend, and those unfamiliar with the webisodes might be slightly perturbed at the newbies. Later, a different passenger earns a knife in the chest when attempting to dispatch Jake.

Another passenger makes it out of the water, but is promptly chucked back in when a zombie bite is spotted. It’s an eventful couple of minutes: Jake (Brendan Meyer), badly burned but alive, is pulled into a liferaft. With a zombie aboard, and total power failures on the ground, the plane eventually crash lands, and this episode opens on the remaining survivors – including Alex (Michelle Ang), who we can expect to see a lot more of this season. There are 16 episodes of around a minute each, available to watch on AMC’s website, but in a nutshell, Flight 462 told the story of a commercial airliner flying to Phoenix just as the apocalypse is cresting. Of course, for dedicated Fear fans, many of these aren’t new characters at all: they made their debut on the web series Flight 462, which premiered online at the end of last year. The pre-titles sequence introduces a gaggle of new faces, adrift at sea.
