Given the Clark matriarch’s declaration at the beginning of this season, it seems a battle for ultimate control over the ranch is coming. As for Troy? Despite Nick’s effort to ingratiate himself with the more violent of the Otto boys, Troy seems most likely to be the one who eventually retaliates for Jeremiah’s death. Alicia has recognized that Jake, the nice Otto brother, could be won over to their side-especially after she slept with him, and he gave her a book of poetry. Their party line will be that Jeremiah committed suicide, but in the Walking Dead universe, lies like these tend to stay hidden for only so long-and Jeremiah’s two living sons, Jake and Troy, are likely to find out how their father really died.Ĭurrently, Madison is positioned to seize control of the ranch, now that its founders are gone and its militia is weak. The Clarks are in a strange position moving forward. It’ll lead to a new definition in his relationship with Madison.” It’s going to get challenging for him, dealing with the murder. Nick is not someone who can say, ‘I put down an evil man for the greater good.’ He feels things far more deeply than that. “What does for us is it redefines Nick and scrambles his psyche. “There was always a plan for Jeremiah to go away,” Erickson told T.H.R. And as Erickson told The Hollywood Reporter, it’s also characteristic for Nick to side with those Jeremiah has killed, rather than Jeremiah himself. So Nick’s decision to kill Jeremiah himself came, at least in part, from his desire to protect his mother from getting more blood on her hands. He and Alicia, along with Fear’s viewers, just learned their mother’s backstory: Madison killed her own abusive father. Nick’s decision to kill Jeremiah certainly didn’t come out of the blue. The usually gentle Clark kid is going to pay for this decision, promises showrunner Dave Erickson-and yes, as the violent season premiere indicated, this year will be a bloody one. But his killer may have come as a surprise: although Madison Clark intended to kill the patriarch of Broke Jaw Ranch, it was Nick who pulled the trigger in a surprise twist-using the very same gun Jeremiah had just gifted him. Jeremiah Otto, who had slowly revealed himself to be utterly villainous, is now dead. “These violent delights have violent ends.” That Shakespeare quote may have been appropriated most recently by a certain HBO drama-but on Sunday, Fear the Walking Dead made a case for violent delights of its own. So prepare yourself for a potentially very different Fear The Walking Dead season four, one that may feature fewer familiar faces, unless you count the potential arrival of a character or two from The Walking Dead.This post contains spoilers for Fear the Walking Dead’s Season 3 midseason finale, “The Unveiling”/”Children of Wrath.” I’m sure the guys will … Strictly in terms of plot, and who survives and doesn’t survive? It was designed in a way to leave the door open so the new guys can do what they want to do.” “I would want to keep that core Clark family going for a while long. “There was definitely more story I had for Nick and Madison and Alicia,” he said. It also allowed the new showrunners complete freedom moving forward, even if that means killing all the Clarks. Erickson admitted the decision to *spoilers here* blow up the Gonzalez Dam and leave many of the main characters in a Schrödinger’s cat state wasn’t just to create an exciting cliffhanger. For me, there’s a lot left for Madison specifically.” In terms of the final conflict within the family, it would have been key. “Of our group, who could become a Negan? That’s interesting to me, to watch an evolution of a character and start with them as a hero, and bleed that into antihero, and bleed that into full-on villain.
“The thing that’s interesting to me, and one of the questions I asked myself and asked Robert Kirkman very on was of the people in our group, who do you see becoming the Governor?” Erickson said. One of those would have involved Madison continuing her violent slide until she “became a Negan.” He’s on to new projects, and will leave a pretty clean slate for Once Upon A Time producers Andrew Chambliss and Ian Goldberg to work on.Įrickson spoke with The Hollywood Reporter about moving on, and what Fear The Walking Dead stories he was leaving untold. The season finale also happens to be showrunner Dave Erickson’s last episode at the helm. But those that stuck through some uneven points in the first two season were rewarded with a pretty satisfying season three that just ended with a literal bang. Fear The Walking Dead has always operated under the massive shadow of its spin-off parent The Walking Dead, leading to some pretty insane expectations from fans and AMC executives alike.
