I'm still not sold on this show. I mean, I love zombies, so I'm going to keep watching, but this is like a poorly made copy of the original.
I'm surprised they went with the "let's keep zombies on the farm" bit in S2, just like Hershel's Farm.
And what in all the holy fucks happened to Daniel? Did he stop taking his sane pills? His descent into madness came (at least for me) completely out of the blue.
Nick is ok. Little weird how he keeps finding fresh corpses to lather himself up with but hey, there should be plenty wandering around I guess. He does appear to latch onto some of the strangest people for inspiration. First Strand, then nut-job Celia.
I can see where Chris is lashing out. His mother was shot in the head by his father. He's a teen, doesn't quite get what the fuck is happening to his world, doesn't really like his father's new family, and there's a world full of zombies that need the stabby-stabby. And when the zombies aren't around, well there's the father's new family, in the way again. He's bent, yes, and I actually don't like him as a character, but I can understand the sullen anger driving him.
Travis just appears completely clueless on what to do all the time. He's never in charge of his own life or his own actions. He either follows Madison or chases after his broken son. I feel for him but damn he comes across as weak.
And that's really the problem with this show. They all feel weak as fuck. Strand and Daniel appear to be (or at least to have been, before they got to the farm) the only two equipped with the strength to handle what's going on. Nick has jumped aboard, but if everyone else was bitten on the next episode I'd be fine with that. They've hinted several times that Madison has a violent background and maybe she's gonna wreck some shit, but so far she's incredibly annoying.
And poor Lexa (I don't remember her name on this show). I really wish she'd stayed on The 100 and they'd figured out a way to keep her there. Her Commander character was amazing. She's so underused here it's pathetic.
