Essentially greedy hipsters with no clue as to how to run a siege who ultimately decided that the best way to defeat their enemies was to unleash hundreds of zombies on them, making it impossible to take the stuff they were so determined to take in the first place.
Saviors-Lite did little to inspire fear, hatred or any other emotion in views. But plenty of eye-rolling. The villain during the second half of Season 4 was Martha, aka the Filthy Woman. The less we say about her the better.
Her backstory boils down to her watching her husband die on the side of the road and people drove by and didn't stop to help them. Then she somehow lived all alone for the next few years, surviving in the wild in total isolation, before she snapped and started killing really stupid and apparently deaf truckers because they were trying to help people. What inane, pointless, feeble villains compared to the interesting, complicated Otto family.
What a shame we didn't get more of Proctor John from Season 3, who was just shaping up to be an interesting bad guy before he was While I still think the cinematography was mostly very good in Season 4, the special effects often left much to be desired.
Zombie makeup was, of course, excellent. As I've said in the past , if these shows just held the acting and writing to the same standards as the zombie makeup we'd have award-winning television on our hands. But in Fear's fourth season the special effects left something to be desired. Namely, there were scenes during the hurricane where zombies were flying around like they were made out of paper.
Nothing else was blowing around in the wind. No cats or dogs, no boxes, no debris. Just zombies. It looked fake. It was laughably unrealistic. The only good thing about the flying zombiesthe only possible silver liningwas how hilarious watching them get tossed about by the "wind" was.
Can we please get some color back in this show? I understand wanting to differentiate timelines using two different camera filters The Walking Dead did this one episode with black and white vs color when Rick came up with one of his most idiotic plans but I was hoping they'd go back to full color by the time the second half of the season started. It's not that I'm against camera filters.
Maybe Fear should look a little grainier or a little less saturated. Honestly, the show has always had better cinematography than The Walking Dead, and it's often utilized some subtle filters to give it a darker tone.
But they've gone completely overboard in Season 4. It's not quite black and white and lacks the stark contrast black and white can bring to a scene. It's just a muted grey now that feels lifeless and, well, pointless. Season 4 would have been at the very least more visually appealing with a more saturated color scheme. Look, I like Morgan. I've always liked Morgan. He's been in some of the best moments in the entirety of The Walking Dead.
On that show, when Rick and his crew were itching to go murder Saviors in the middle of the night despite having no knowledge of their organization and no personal reason to carry out such a despicable act, Morgan was the lone voice of reason. Later, both Carl and Jesus seemed to adopt his live-and-let-live attitude because apparently the writers aren't able to carry out logical character development and just have Morgan continue to be that character, but I digress.
I like Morgan. I just think he's been given short shrift by the writers and showrunners. Half the things he said and did made no sense. After a fantastic bottle episode explaining how he went from crazy killer to peaceful monk, The Walking Dead pretty much tossed his character into a blender of bad writing and stupid decisions. I was really hopeful all that would change in Fear, and for a few episodes it seemed we were back on track.
Morgan's line "I lose people and then I lose myself" was really great, and some of his moments with Al and John Dorie and even, briefly, Nick, were fantastic.
It didn't last. But Morgan just isn't a leading man. He's a great secondary character. He's a great foil for more violent leads like Rick and Carol, and I honestly think he could have been very interesting across from Nick and Madison. But in the second half of the season he was positioned as the lead and that basically entailed him wandering back and forth across long distances, either leaving or looking for his new friends.
For reasons nobody explains, he was regularly placed in a leadership role despite never really wanting it. It never made any sense from a story or character standpoint. But here we are with Morgan, rather than Madison or Alicia, as the new top guy in the show. Not only did we take a female-driven show and give it to a male lead for no reason, we gave it to a male lead who makes more sense in a support role. Who could really shine in a support role on Fear, actually, but who just doesn't cut it in any way as the primary hero.
Zach is killed by Walkers while helping to free him. Meanwhile, Rick is checking the traps when he encounters Clara.
She asks if he is with a group, and begs him to take in her and her husband. Rick tells her that if they answer three questions to his satisfaction, he will.

Rick tries to calm him down, but it erupts into a brawl. Rick brutally beats Tyreese's face, and Daryl pulls him off the man before things get any worse. Despite Karen and David's deaths, the flu still manages to infect more people, such as Sasha and Glenn. Hershel volunteers to be in the quarantined section of the prison, where he tends to the sick despite his daughter's objections. Daryl, Michonne and Bob go on a supply run for medicine.
They convince Tyreese to go along, to get his mind off the events of the morning. As they travel they hear a voice on the radio and can't quite make it out, which leads to them crashing.
They have to fight off Walkers to escape. As Rick searches for the murderer, he saves Carol from Walkers while she is fixing the water hose. As she walks away, Rick tells Carol that he's noticed how far she'd go to protect the group of survivors. He then asks her if she killed Karen and David. After a moment, she responds to him: "Yes. Rick and Carol go on a run, as they continue to discuss her actions at the prison. They then encounter two survivors named Sam and Ana.
After being asked Rick's standard questions, the young couple offer their services to find food. After searching the neighborhood for supplies, Carol and Rick find the body of Ana. Sam is nowhere in sight. As they prepare to leave town, Rick exiles Carol from the prison. He feels that he can't trust her, but also wants to protect her from the eventual wrath of Tyreese.
Daryl and his group search for medicine to help with the sickness at the prison. They find a veterinary college, where there are a good store of medications. While there, they discover that Bob has a liquor bottle. Bob nearly threatens to shoot Daryl for taking it, until Tyreese breaks it up.
Daryl tells him not to take a sip until they get back to the prison. Inside A Block, things begin to worsen. Hershel's assistant succumbs to the flu, and other people continue to get sick. Sasha and Glenn fight for their lives, as Hershel tries to maintain a positive outlook. Chaos ensues when a gunshot goes off, signaling that some more dead sick people have reanimated into Walkers.

Hershel helps administer the drugs to the infected. In a flashback, The Governor flees after his massacre of the Woodbury Army, alongside his two remaining henchmen: Martinez and Shumpert.
The two men have lost confidence in him, though, and abandon Philip during the night. He responds by burning down Woodbury, after which he wanders off into the woods.
After several months of surviving the elements, he encounters the Chambler family, which consists of Lily, her daughter Meghan, sister Tara, and grandfather David. They listen to his fabricated story and accept it. He continues to gain their trust by clearing Walkers from the apartment building they are hold up in, as well as getting oxygen tanks for the ailing David.
As time passes, Philip, going by the name Brian Heirot, gets to know Meghan and form a bond with her. This is briefly halted when he is forced to brutally kill a zombified David in front of her. He decides to leave, Lily wants to go with him, as he knows how to survive. The group travel the road using a recreational vehicle, until it breaks down.
They are chased by Walkers and separated. Philip and Meghan fall into a dugout pit, and find several Walkers inside. Meghan cowers in a corner of the pit, as Philip kills the Walkers.
Philip hugs Meghan, and swears on his life that he will keep her safe and never harm her. He then looks up and sees a bewildered Martinez standing above him. Philip's group arrives to a new camp with Martinez's group.
As time passes, Philip begins to notice how unorganized the group is. Martinez shares his feelings of doubt as a leader, and offers to let Philip co-lead. Philip responds by killing him and dragging his corpse to a walker pit. As he does so, he muttering about how he doesn't want to lead anymore.
Pete Dolgen becomes the new leader, but his decisions are criticized by his brother Mitch, who believes they have to steal from other groups in order to live. Deep down, Philip believes that too, but he wants to leave with his new family to escape the mistakes of his past. Unfortunately, his R. Left with no choice, Philip reverts to his old self. He kills Pete, entices Mitch to join him, and convinces the people that they need a more secure location in which to live.
His point is well proved when he saves Meghan from a Walker that has entered the camp. He takes a truck and travels to the prison. He looks in with envy as he sees the lives Rick's friends enjoy. He aims a gun at Herschel and Michonne, briefly considering attacking them then and there. Philip rallies whatever forces he can from his new group, motivating them to follow him to the prison. The people are led to believe that the Survivors is evil and must be stopped.
Having kidnapped Hershel and Michonne as bargaining chips, Philip intends to force Rick out without killing anyone. He ignores the suggestion that both groups could live together at the prison. Arriving at the prison, Philip begins a standoff. Despite negotiations from the respective groups, Philip loses his patience and instigates a battle by killing Hershel. He has revealed his true colors to his group, many of whom are shocked by his actions. Lily then arrives with the corpse of her daughter Meghan, who was bitten after being left unguarded while Philip took most of the populace to battle.
Philip shoots the girl in the head, before moving toward the prison. The battle rages on, with the fences falling before a tank that Philip got when he joined the new group.
Many guard towers and prison walls are destroyed, as the Survivors fights back as best they can. Many survivors who are too young or weak to fight, including a recuperating Glenn, are rushed onto a bus in order to escape. Others get separated, and have to try to fight past an overflow of Walkers. Rick and Philip get into a brutal hand-to-hand battle. Philip gets the upper hand, but before he can finish Rick he is stabbed by Michonne.
