Featured review
"Blue Jay" offers what the premiere lacked, finally some emotional depth and great performances, it's looking bright for Fear
Heather Cappiello directed this episode of the final season of Fear TWD, her direction and visual storytelling was great. The cinematography and editing were too quite great, with some nice transitions. The episode looks great, nothing wrong there, with some great shots and camera angles. The sound editing and musical score is fantastic. I can only praise Heather's direction in this episode, she directed the actors and made the dialogue sound natural, as natural as it can get with the showrunners dialogue. I'm quite sure she's the reason why this episode worked so well, it was actually good.

"Blue Jay" is the second episode of the eighth and final season, what the premiere didn't have, this episode has. Episode two was such an improvement from the previous episode in every area, from writing to direction to acting. It contains three main characters who were absent in the premiere, those are; Jenna Elfman as June Dorie "Blue Jay", Austin Amelio as Dwight "Red Kite and Christine Evangelista as Sherry "Starling". Through the seven year time jump, we lost a lot of character development, June has changed but quite bad ass, with Jenna Elfman bringing a kind of Sarah Connor vibe to the character but overall bringing a great performance to the episode. Austin Amelio and Christine Evangelista were too quite great! Most of the dialogue was actually quite good, only some wooden and stiff dialogue. I'm getting hope again, something I had lost during the previous season and the last episode. Guest star Jonathan Medina was great as Adrian. His character played nicely with June's arc in this episode, two great performances. This episode had emotional depth, something that have been missing in this show since season 6. I have always liked June so I'm glad she's getting some good writing for a change, great actually. What's interesting is how Fear the Walking Dead haven't had any real tension or you having fear of someone dying or really getting hurt, physically or mentally, this episode contains all that along with suspension. I enjoyed this episode more than I expected I would, it had quite a few of memorable scenes. Though I liked the ending, it just didn't sit right with what we have been told about PADRE. I don't like this group by the way, they're cartoonish, especially their clothing. Also, they are as smart as stormtroopers.
