Season 8 Episode 7 Walking Dead Review Ign
Fear the Walking Dead Season 7 Episode 7, "Portrait," felt similar information technology was a better episode overall. Just was that only because information technology waslessbad than some of the previous episodes? I'k not sure. It certainly doesn't agree up to the quality of the Madison-and-Nick days of the serial. But there were quite a few interesting moments this week, and Colman Domingo is definitely killing it in his part equally "crazy Victor." However, a few character inconsistencies left me really struggling with whether I could say it was a "good" episode or not.
This article is a Fear the Walking Expressionless Season 7 Episode 7 review of "The Portrait," based on watching the episode equally it aired on AMC+. There will be MAJOR episode spoilers.
This episode was definitely an improvement over most of the other episodes this season. I yet have quite a scrap of things that I accept issues with, which I'll mention. Just overall, I enjoyed the pace of this episode and I enjoyed how Domingo is really getting into his crazed Victor Strand persona.
As I've said in previous reviews, I don't like how they turned Victor into a caricature of his previous self. During this episode, I managed to brand a bit of peace with the whole matter by simply bold that Victor has lost his listen and is now crazy. That's the only way I can reconcile information technology all in my caput, so that's at present my personal catechism.
The gas masks and how they handle radiations is also driving me crazy. I am merely going to assume that the radiation isn't as bad as we were led to believe, and that's why they're non all dying from radiation poisoning based on how oftentimes they accept off their masks. Yes, yes, I know they've explained it. Merely does the wind actually magically blow in the right direction every time Morgan is on the screen? 👀
Morgan & Victor Are Dandy on Screen Together
What I did savor nearly this episode was seeing Morgan and Victor share the screen together once again. When they're non being comically forced to try to impale each other for no skillful reason (I'm looking at yous Submarine Scenes from Final Season), the two really have great chemistry. Lennie James and Colman Domingo are not bad together. It's not their fault the plot goes a bit off the runway at times.
This week's episode starts with Victor commissioning a painting that looks exactly similar him. But he is furious nearly how it turns out, for some unknown reason, and ends up throwing the painting off the ledge. (Merely not before we become a really amusing scene where he turns down every single person who requests admission to his community. He played that scene great.) The opening is basically showing the states that Victor is unhinged. I hateful, the show already forced united states of america into the storyline where Victor is evil and will kill people for no skillful reason. But at present he's crazy too. And shortly after the episode begins, he realizes he needs to be around someone who knew the real Victor. And since Alicia'south not hither, Morgan will have to practice.
Later turning down Morgan'south request to get medical help for his babe, Victor has him tracked downwardly and brought back. He lets June treat the baby for a double ear infection, while keeping shut tabs on Morgan the whole time. Merely in the eye of Morgan's visit, a group called "The Stalkers" shows up. They're mad that Victor wouldn't allow them into the community, so now they're going scorched earth. "If we can't live here, no one can," is what they basically say.
They put together a trebuchet to hurl zombies into the windows of the belfry, threatening its stability. And so on top of that, they reveal that some of their zombies were planted with pieces of muddied bombs.
Morgan begs Victor to let him radio his people, who are on the outskirts nearby, and get them to help. Victor says no at get-go, but eventually relents later on he realizes he's poisoned. There's a mole in his group — someone tried to kill him. Then at this indicate, he merely trusts himself and "kind of" Morgan to get go the radio, which is on a footing level somewhere. For some reason, Morgan takes his baby with him. This ultimately ends with a poisoned Victor holding the baby while Morgan finds the radio.
At some point in the center of all of this, everything is resolved. It'south weird how it happens in a "blink and you'll miss it" kind of way. Victor passes out and everything is resolved off screen. Grace and company somehow manage to scare off the Stalkers off screen. And when Victor wakes support, he notices that Morgan's thumb is bluish… Considering the poison was also blue, Victor realizes that MORGAN POISONED HIM.
Pacifist Morgan Poisoning Victor Is Really Out of Character
So this is where I had a really tough fourth dimension. Tin nosotros all just stop and consider how out of character information technology is for Morgan to toxicant Victor? Morgan is a pacifist to the extreme now, having only recently managed to make himself OK with killing zombies. (Remember his last season on The Walking Dead?) He has spent every season since he joined Fear adamant to salve every single villain. Remember "Filthy Adult female"? Call up how he betrayed his OWN PEOPLE to try to requite Virginia a 2nd chance? Poisoning Victor after all of that makes Nix sense. And yet here we are.
Victor threatens to kill Morgan as retribution, but Grace agrees to join his community if he'll spare Morgan'due south life. And then Grace and the baby are now Tower People, and Victor is determined to be the baby's new dad. It's weird, and that poisoning plotline now feels a bit like a plot device simply to get Grace and the baby stuck at the Tower.
Alicia'southward Back!
For many fans, the best part of the episode was finally getting Alicia back on screen. Merely after seeing Alycia Debnam-Carey every bit Lexa on "The 100," I was disappointed to come across that they are however holding dorsum on her character here. At the end of concluding season, she was put in accuse of a group of people in a bunker and then she helped them survive in a radiated world subsequently. She is a badass survivor who should have appeared strong AF when Morgan saw her. Don't get me incorrect – I loved that she still gave him a big hug and was glad to encounter him. Just she shouldn't have needed his help. She should have but invited him along to assistance her now that they ran into each other again.
When she talks with Morgan in that cursory scene, it's obvious that she knew Morgan and Victor were both around, but had decided not to deal with either of them until now. (To exist honest, I think avoiding both of them was a smart motion on her part.) I'k just disappointed that the scene was painted with a "Morgan I tin't do this on my own; I need your help" castor. Alicia should be more capable of standing on her ain at this point.
The episode ended with zombies showing up at Alicia's camp with dirty bombs inside them. They detonated, sending a moving ridge of radiation in their direction. Alicia'due south nether attack at present, and things are getting really serious.
And so all in all, this episode had skillful parts and bad parts. At that place were plotholes and moments of graphic symbol discontinuity that didn't make sense to me. But Victor and Morgan together on screen was a lot of fun to watch, and it was neat to encounter Alicia return. So I retrieve I nevertheless enjoyed more nigh this episode than I disliked, overall.
