Blades’ Daniel Salazar ties up Hatosy’s well-meaning Corporal Adams, and tortures him to find out the Guard’s secret scheme. But Wiener and company ratchet up the tension this week, forcing confrontations. “Cobalt” is similar to the previous episode in that it establishes the current state of Los Angeles: cordoned off into safe zones, patrolled by soldiers who don’t really seem to care whether the civilians are doing okay.
And he’s apparently been cutting deals with the guards to keep only the most potentially helpful folks by his side - one of whom turns out to be Nick. Those who aren’t physically strong enough should surround themselves with people they can use. Her shape.”), he gets across his longstanding worldview: only the fit survive. As he asks about the attractiveness of a fellow prisoner’s missing wife like a David Mamet villain (“Did Maria… keep herself up? Her figure, Douglass. It starts with that Strand monologue, who’s being held in the facility where the National Guard has been keeping the sick and the troublemakers - the place where the junkie Nick Clark and the dying Griselda Salazar were taken at the end of last week’s episode, “Not Fade Away.” The newbie only gets three scenes, which isn’t enough to explain who he is, or why he’s being detained. There’s a wonderfully pungent flavor to Wiener’s dialogue in “Cobalt,” unlike anything this show has served up before. He gets his first FTWD “written by” this week, after serving as a co-executive producer on the first four episodes (and working on The Killing and Last Resort previously). That said, remember this name: David Wiener. Writing for television is such a collaborative process that it’s usually misguided to give credit for an especially strong script to any one person.

Because this is the spin-off series’ best episode yet - at times even “best TV of the year” good. While that created a stress of a different sort in grief and PTSD, it allowed them to be in the present of the apocalypse rather than the past of holding onto protecting what they had.That’s not a knock against Fear so much as it’s a big thumbs-up for Domingo. They were liberated from the worry of relationships and family. I think that in The Walking Dead something that help create the badass characters that we’ve grown to love and become used to as apocalypse standards is that they lost their pre-apocalypse families and ties and had to stand on their own and make new families. We won’t be seeing Daniel in the back half, but my hope is we will see the return of Daniel in season 3. From my perspective, in terms of the arc of the show, this is not the last we see of Daniel Salazar. That’s going to spin Ofelia specifically in a new direction for the back half. I think what’s important at the end of the midseason is that it’s the impact on Ofelia and the rest of the characters that Daniel’s gone. We don’t see Daniel burn, and that’s intentional. Dave Erickson seems to want to reassure us that Daniel will be back. Usually we have to wait and see if a character that is presumed dead or at least gone will ever return. He also revealed secrets about the fate of Daniel Salazar. So it’ll be interesting to see how that manifests and what Ofelia is able to do to reconcile the loss of her parents now that she’s orphaned. And now, at the moment where she should become whatever she wanted to become, she’s trapped in the apocalypse. She’s someone who gave up a great deal in order to take care of her parents, and what she’s come to realize now is they didn’t need that much taking care of. Ofelia is somebody who really was kind of trapped in her life. Related Story: Teaser video for midseason premiereĭave Erickson talked to Entertainment Weekly about the midseason finale and the back half of season 2: She is going to have to rely on her own judgment. Ofelia will have the chance now to survive and help others without always worrying about the approval of her father or taking care of her father in the second half of the season because he won’t be with her. Someone outside of their family had to take care of her. They couldn’t even bury her or say goodbye. They have to live with knowing she was alone and afraid at the end. Daniel never wanted to be indebted to anyone and didn’t trust that anyone would take care of his daughter the way family does. Ofelia always wanted to see how she could survive more on her own and branch out with people other than her family. They also sheltered her from the life they led in El Salvador.
Ofelia had always taken care of her parents and they protected her. Executive Producer Dave Erickson has some insight to give us before August.ĭaniel and Ofelia have had a tough time since they joined this group. The midseason finale left many questions about our characters in Fear the Walking Dead.
