Episode Synopsis

Host Dave is going solo, #Live, taking your questions, comments, reactions on Fear The Walking Dead's 4th Season (Finale)!
Update: After an abysmal #livestream, attempting to #stream to #Periscope, #Instagram, #YouTube, and #Facebook (simultaneously), the feed finally cut out at 36 mins! Luckily, we had a backup recording we could use to create the edited videos and podcast with. #YouTubeLive #FacebookLive #InstragramLive
* Pimping out the audience to help co-host #FearTWDseason5
* #MorganJones & #Althea: keep an eye out for these two outsiders
* Martha's perspective on Althea: The tapes vs IRL. Explaining crazy
* Understanding Martha's coming to being (mad) and what the writers could've done to suspend disbelief
* The seed Martha plants in Althea's mind about her outsiderness
* Poetry of the same police cruiser being used as a vehicle (help) by all the outsiders (Althea, Martha, and Morgan)
* #JohnDorie shows the clear difference between the way he respects Morgan vs TWD characters
* ...John telling Morgan he'll come after him if he doesn't make it to the truck stop is so important
* while the rest of the gang is getting R&R at the truck stop, Althea is apart from them
* ...OG FTWD crew (re)confirming that, even before the hurricane, there's nothing out here
* "Doesn't take a whole day to recognize sunshine" and the importance of June knowing herself
* Goodbye #walker #JimBrauer and explaining Martha's weird behavior at Hank's shallow grave
* #VictorStrand telling Althea to help load the boxes is another indicator that she's an outsider
* Crashing the cruiser: Martha refusing help when she hears how sick the crew are solidifies her stuckness
* The writing on the wall: the typeface on Morgan's forehead tells us he won't die, but will end up being strong, no matter what
* ...the stakes are personified by the background sound-effect used when Martha originally went mad
* Morgan doubles down on the good when faced with obstacles/opposition
* Martha's mistake: another example of affirming a worldview using surface impressions - Morgan's tape vs IRL growth
* When Morgan's walkie dies, he FINALLY embraces the idea of wanting to look for someone he loves, dead or alive, rather than run away (like he did with Henry)
* ...Confronting Martha unsticks Morgan in ways she did not intend #strong
* Rather than converse with the group, Althea turns to her tapes #ForeverAlone
* Jim posthumously saves the day: a better send-off for him. Strand doesn't need to drink alone. Charlie has parents in John & June
* Martha's savage commitment to remaining stuck: Morgan will never lose himself, again
* ...furthermore, Morgan resolves to make sure nobody in the area gets to the point that Martha had reached
* Comparing #MadisonClark's Stadium to Clayton/Polar Bear's Denim Factory
* #LucianaGalvez protects what's hers: manipulating Wendell & Sarah to stay
* #AliciaClark affirms that they must take people in
* Althea finally includes herself in the group by using her interview subjects as candidates for help
* Morgan's #ATeam speech
* #ColemanDomingo, behind the scenes, mentions his favorite episode was his last with all The Clarks: #FrankDillane #AliciaDebnamCarey #KimDickens
* Someone leaked TWD's new #TWDseason9 #TitleSequence and Dave is pissed
* This season was built around Morgan, in order to break him out of his cycle, and that's not a bad thing
* ...now he doesn't kill on principle, for his reasons, not because #TheArtofPeace told him not to #NickClark
* Season 4 is not a reboot, it's just a redirection ...and Minor criticisms, but largely successful
