A sign reading “ROAD MAY FLOOD” kicks off the second half of “Fear The Walking Dead” tonight. It’s raining a lot, and surreal images quickly follow. So surreal you’ll believe they’re probably components of somebody’s dream. We learn by episode’s end the scene is not a dream.
Time has passed since the events of 4.8. The heroes have broken up into smaller groups. John and Morgan have healed up considerably.
Watch that clip above. At the end of it Morgan announces something that may or may not shape the direction of both “Walking Dead” series for years to come!
Morgan then approaches June (Jenna Elfman), who is busy with a fish. He’s got the same news for her and for John. “Virginia!” exclaims John (Garret Dillahunt). “That’s a long way from here!”
With Kim Dickins gone, Lennie James now gets top billing, followed by Alycia Debnam-Carey, Maggie Grace, Colman Domingo, Danay Garcia, Garret Dillahunt and Jenna Elfman, in that order. Guest star is Alexa Nisenson, who plays young Charlie on the show. Anna Fishko (“Colony,” “Tyrant”) scripts.
AMC says of 4.9:
Morgan tries to help Alicia and the fractured group of survivors as a storm brews.
There’s barely any Brock or Dean or Rusty in tonight’s second 2018 installment of “The Venture Bros.,” which rewinds the clock to focus on what the Monarchs and their 21st henchman were up to during last week’s PROBLEM episode. As much as I love this cartoon, I have to admit it kind of now lurks in the shadow of Dan Harmon’s animated sci-fi comedy “Rick and Morty.”
Spoilers for this week’s “Big Brother” lurk in the text invisible.
Hayleigh nominated Angela and Kaycee for eviction. Kaycee won the Hacker Competition and took herself off the block. Rockstar is now on the block next to Angela. Tyler won the Power of Veto.
Showtime says of 4.9:
The truth is finally revealed to Alison.
