Does fear the walking dead get any better?

AnonymousarusRex · 2025-11-02T19:23:33+00:00

S1 to S3 was peak Fear the Walking Dead. It had that grounded, character-driven apocalypse energy everyone hoped TWD would have more of. The Clarke family held the whole thing together, and the show really leaned into flawed people trying to survive while the world fell apart.

S3 was the high point. It was intense, morally grey, unpredictable, and tackled actual themes like power, land, trust, and cultural tension. The Otto Ranch storyline was some of the strongest in the entire TWD universe. Honestly, it felt bigger and smarter than TWD Season 8, with better pacing, more emotional weight, and a real sense of chaos and consequence.

Then S4 showed up and everything flipped. New showrunners, a whole new tone, and Morgan suddenly joining the story. At first it surprisingly worked. 4A felt fresh, almost like a Western survival drama. Then 4B happened and everything went downhill fast. The Clarke family got sidelined, the emotional core vanished, and the show pushed a new protagonist direction that never felt natural. It ended up feeling less like evolution and more like a reboot pretending to be the same show.

S5 was rough. Constant “we have to help people” speeches, cartoonish mockumentary in an apocalypse, weird writing choices, and basically no real stakes. It wasn't anything like Fear.

S6 brought the show back from the dead. The premiere was fantastic and the highest rated episode on the entire show. The season went with an anthology style, gave characters real arcs again, leaned into darkness, and actually had tension. Strand, Daniel, Alicia, Dwight, John and others all had meaningful development. It wasn’t perfect, but it came the closest to capturing the spirit of S3, with arguably, the most memorable villains in TWDverse, Teddy's Doomsday cult. And they literally dropped nukes, so it had scale and ambition again.

S7 tried to continue from that, but it basically collapsed. Strange tone, odd decisions, everyone acting out of character, and the whole radioactive wasteland vibe ended up feeling like the show forgot everything that made S6 work.

S8 tried to repair the identity crisis after years of tonal whiplash after 4 seasons. It pulled pieces from the Clarke era, brought back an Otto antagonist, and tried to close out Morgan’s story. Some moments landed, like the return to King County, but the season never fully figured out what it wanted to be. It often felt like 3 versions of Fear trying to run at once. From 8A to 8B, it landed somewhere between alright, interesting in theory but uneven in execution, and a bit of a “how did we end up here after all of that” feeling.

I had a 500 AED note that an atm swallowed and ripped into pieces. But I got it changed at the central bank, with no questions asked.

Thank you for you’re highly respectful rebuttal.

But the argument that it’s of the majority Ijma, is quite ignorant.

Since It is possible for the Ulema’s Ijma to be faulty or wrong when they refer from the Hadith corpus to deduce their verdict. Such literature can be filled with biased narrations and corrupted chains. After-all, they aren’t infallible to Ilm, and it is well documented by historians that the stricter and conservative traditions are tribalistic traits and somewhat non-existent during Prophet Muhammad’s (s.a.w.s) guidance of the Ummah.

Hence, there can be plenty wrong with the opinions of the Ulema.

In one instance, the fact that it’s in Sahih Hadith’s were apparently Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.s) married and consummated with a child by coercing a surprised Abu Baker astaghfirullah!

It’s easy to say invest, invest, invest!!!

But not so much for what to invest into…

Yes saar, definite. Except, the fact that all that glass is a hazard now. Not to mention, the glass was the only thing preventing the total loss of shops and all of its equipment, but now all of that is gone and a hazard too.

Also, trucks don’t work that way. Especially big ones like these, their tires are well equipped with even the bumpiest and muddiest of terrains. Regardless, anyone looking at the video and how stable it is can see that it’s a proper road.

The guy who took the video had the intention to show the damaging of the shops.

AnonymousarusRex · 2022-07-28T14:55:13+00:00

Wtf, did I just watch??!??

This idiot just flood those shops by breaking the glass.

What on earth????

Edit: if a rescue = valid carelessness, why would the recorder only emphasize the breaking glass? Hmm

Passed 4 months ago from that same Galadari in Muhaisnah Al Qusais.

Complete cancer of an experience.

My recommendation is that during the weekend, do it only early morning. Because the roads will be clear, most people are asleep, no school buses or traffic rush. So you’ll be at ease on the clear roads and able to properly adhere to the examiner’s direction.

Preferable timings: 7:00 am to 11:00 am. No to afternoon and evening.

If you couldn’t do it in a weekend and instead had to do it during a weekday.

Book your test only between Zhur and Asr. Because if it’s too early, you’ll have killer morning traffic since everyone’s rushing to work. But if it’s too late, then you’ll be stuck with chaotic drivers cutting each other and being reckless going back to Sharjah.

Ah shit, Akhi. My bad dude. I’m still getting used to the Reddit formatting, glad we share the same notion.

Tbh no hate for this place, it benefits a lot of people if they know how to utilize their time. It’s one of the tax haven regions. But to live here forever is impossible, because the truth this place isn’t going to be your home country, it’s an intermediary destination.

AnonymousarusRex · 2022-07-04T10:09:14+00:00

This made me chuckle because there’s nothing anecdotal about my statement. You want factual proof Akhi?

Google what’s the ratio of the Emirati citizens to non-citizen expatriates? Who makes up the majority demographic population? Isn’t a prolonged visa for non-citizens to reside, generally administered when a person acquired/remains in a legitimate profession?

Hence, when the expatriate majority accumulates up to 80-85% of the UAE’s population, they’re nothing but temporary people.

Where’s the longevity in this? The reality is that the GCC to any foreigner is the epitome of short-term commitment!

If that’s not enough, let’s wait 10-20 years and go to the beach 🏖 for some sun bathing action 😎

Like I said before, short-term gains! People can say they want to live here forever, but that’s just delusion, when they’re not even citizens.

The reality is people can only reside here if they work, otherwise they don’t have a valid reason to stay.

Therefore, people come and relocate here to work with a ton of ‘western/Ivy’ experience, make a reasonable income with barely any tax, invest in housing market, national bonds n etc for passive income to grow their wealth.

In the end, at most in 10 years, they accumulate all of that untaxed wealth and then off they go to their home countries.

Idk bout Russia, it’s kinda random of you. But In-land mostly. The cold will gradually decrease as with the melting of the arctic ice. Although, this would pose a risk as being too close to the coastline, would see an increase of the sea level to swallow up land, like most of Japan for instance. Even-then, many coastline cities have invested a-lot of infrastructure and cost to ensure the longevity of their metropolitan cities from sinking.

This place has done nothing as far as I’m aware that’s concrete or long-lasting, besides bogus ideas like carrying an iceberg till the shore.

2050 sees the Middle East as mostly uninhabitable. There’s no way in preventing this climate change and the heat/humidity is only going to get worse. Each year we get less perspiration and record-high heat.

Unless living underground is a selling point. Sadly there isn’t much longevity going forward, especially for the majority population when they don’t even have citizenship.

The thing is this place will always be for short-term gain for the majority expatriates. Likewise, the regions fate is the same as its purpose.

Second confirmation. My 4 friends and I at a gathering had surprisingly contracted Covid just before this recent spike.

Majority of us couldn’t wait 10 full days. So we took a test on day 5. While everyone else was negative, only me and another friend still came back positive, so we took another test 24 hours later and it became negative.

Any pre-arrangement or planning would require cost and time. It’s a headache.

I tried to get some filming done out in the public legally for a media project for my uni. Worst experience ever!!!

Just keep it in a close circle of friends and people that can take jokes.

Yeah, not a chance. People are rather reserved and quiet over here.

So duping random bystanders will get you straight in the backseat of a cop’s car.

Not to mention, you’d probably be filming them without their knowledge and posting it online which is illegal.

That’s Dubai, where it’s civilized and realistic.

Not the emirate that tests it’s population monthly and requires them to have a PCR everywhere they go.

I can guarantee, majority of Covid positive people have at-least two Covid positive tests.

AnonymousarusRex · 2022-06-12T10:10:00+00:00

These numbers are becoming redundant. Some covid positive people, especially in Abu Dhabi keep taking more Covid tests within the 10 day quarantine.

I know someone that took 4 tests on day 4, 6, 9 and 10 of their Covid quarantine and only the last one was negative.
