Fear The Walking Dead: Fans React To The Midseason Finale
On Sunday night, Fear the Walking Dead aired the seventh and eighth episodes of the show's third [...]
Hello Walker
To start the episode, Jake Otto defiantly trotted out to Walker's camp at the Black Hat Motel. Alicia Clark went along for the dangerous ride. Upon arrival, they were greeted by a creepily hostile Walker who claimed they were "200 years too late" for peace.

Some fans who have previously watched The Walking Dead aren't scared of a machete without a red handle, referencing Gareth's at Terminus in the show's fifth season.
Oh YEAH?! Well YOUR machete doesn't even have a red handle. So there. #feartwd #fearthewalkingdead pic.twitter.com/eIZ4ywRbLR

Either way, no one wants to eat the pig.

Ofelia's Return
Ofelia's return to Fear the Walking Dead after being absent for all of Season 3 to date came subtly when she served Alicia, Walker, and Jake at the Black Hat Motel. It introduces an interesting new dynamic as the Clark's have clearly aligned themselves with her enemy.
YO I TOLD YOU OFELIA WAS PROBABLY WITH WALKER#FearTWD
— Brittany (@Brittany3245) July 10, 2017
THERE SHE IS #FearTWD
— Paul Gaston (@ThePaul25) July 10, 2017
It was certainly an unexpected place for Ofelia's return, even if fans did suspect her of being a part of Walker's group.

Nick's Haircut
Good news and bad news...
Good news: Nick finally cut his hair! Bad news: He did it himself and it might not actually be an improvement.
Wow, Nick looks good! But, I am going to miss the "bad hair" LOL #FearTWD pic.twitter.com/isHZXn3rr7

Madison is Pissed!
When Jake returned to Broke Jaw Ranch, having left Alicia at the Black Hat Motel with Walker, Madison Clark went "mama bear" mode when she wanted to have her daughter home immediately.
Mama Bear Madison is one of the best things about this show! #FearTWD pic.twitter.com/PWu9ZE5lul

Sometimes Madison could be annoying but I LOVE her mother instincts to protect ? #FearTWD https://t.co/dvCLQd1DsB

Welp, between Alycia and Madison, I guess Walker's camp is gonna burn. #FearTheWalkingDead #FearTWD
— PATCHY (@PatchyBites) July 10, 2017
At least Madison should be proud of her daughter, as the fans certainly are.

The Skull
In lecturing Alicia, Walker (or Qualetaqua) revealed the skull of his family member which he had to dig up in order to protect it from the Otto family and their disrespecting of Native American land. Alicia had a bit of an unexpected response, revealing her newly developed perspective of death.

Some fans are beginning to side with Walker, it appears.

The Invasion
Madison and Troy decided it would be a good idea to invade the Black Hat Motel and the camp surrounding it. Turns out, this was not a good idea. Walker's community is heavily armed and outnumbers Broke Jaw Ranch, so a firefight ensued.
Oh man... This was a TERRIBLE IDEA! #FearTWD pic.twitter.com/3gMahfibzU

One fan compared Nick's Batman-style attack on one of their enemies to Shiva's heroics in The Walking Dead's Season 7 finale.

The Scalping
Jake insisted on speaking with Walker, even after Madison and Troy completely launched a war. Walker was ready to scalp the young Otto boy until Ofelia called him off.
Yep, suicide mission! #FearTWD

Many fans thought Jake had reached the end of his road.
Dang. Going to get nasty. Bye Jake. #FearTWD

The apocalypse is no place for the moral compass type characters.
Jake is not ready for the apocalypse world he still believes that he can reason with people #FearTWD

Clearly, Ofelia can pull some strings at the Black Hat Motel.

Poison!
Ofelia's true colors were finally shown when the soldiers in Broke Jaw's militia came down with a sudden illness and she fled, having poisoned them.

Jake -- You Mad?
Madison is always just trying to help at Broke Jaw Ranch, sometimes a little aggressively, and it's starting to get to Jake Otto as he tries to tend to the anthrax attack's survivors.
It got so heated that Jake yelled at Madison, telling her she is not in charge.
"Always the life of the party, Mom." - Nick #FearTheWalkingDead #FearTWD

Some fans were actually siding with Jake Otto.
Yeah Madison YOU DONT LEAD THE RANCH! #FearTWD

But not everyone...!
Now big fan of Madison.....always forcing her will on folks #FearTWD

Digging Up The Past
Nick took a shovel to the floor of his room and literally dug up the past. He discovered a skull with a bullet hole which Jeremiah revealed to belong to Walker's father. The information revealed an interesting new perspective of the feud.
And most fans want Jeremiah dead as a result.
Yes Qaletqa better kill Jeremiah. #FearTWD
— Valar Morghulis (@yanezgold) July 10, 2017
Jeremiah is a slimy, shady bastard! Just sayin' #FearTWD

Some really want to see the Clark family get themselves out of the middle of this fight.

The Astronaut
When Victor Strand found the Abigail yacht, he also found a radio which would receive a signal from outer space. A Russian cosmonaut by the name of Vaschenko had a quick conversation with the Earth-bound survivor.
It was a touching moment for many.
Wow. @colmandomingo talking to a Cosmonaut. Didn't think #FearTWD could make me tear up, but damn, he is amazing. @AMCTalkingDead

Madison's Dark Past
Madison finally revealed her dark past to the kids before going to have a final conversation with Jeremiah regarding the feud with Walker. They were shocked to learn that she had killed her own father to protect her mother.
