Michelle returned in the episode " Captive".įlight 462 was on its way to Phoenix from LAX ( Los Angelos International Airport), but due to power failures at Phoenix it gets diverted. Brenden Meyer AND Michelle Ang, who play Jake Powell and Charlie on Flight 462, joined the cast in episode 3 of Season 2 over on IMDB. We've known for a while that a character from Flight 462 will be joining the cast of Fear for Season 2.
In the first episode Strand initially talks about sailing to San Diego but is actually heading for the family estate of his partner, in Baja California. At the start of the Season, she is anchored just offshore somewhere near Long Beach (given that Strand's home is near the outlet of the LA River). The Abigail's the first movable location in The Walking Dead universe. In the same way that the main location for Season 1 was the El Sereno district of Los Angeles, the main location for Season 2a is the Abigail.
The second season was shot in Mexico, at Baja Studios, which is the home of the "World's Largest Stages and Filming Tanks", and it's where they shot Titanic, just so you know. These are split between Season 2a and Season 2b with seven episodes in 2a followed by eight episodes in 2b. There will be 15 episodes in the second season which started filming in December 2015. You can stream Tales of the Walking Dead season 1, episode 2, “Blair/Gina”, exclusively on AMC and AMC+.The first half of Season 2 of Fear the Walking Dead premieres on April 10, 2016. But we’ve seen a lot of stuff in that universe – perhaps something a bit new isn’t altogether a bad thing? It’s an interesting angle to take, and it’ll be especially intriguing to see how it manifests in next week’s outing, which is about Alpha.Īnyway, it’ll still split the fanbase, and I’d be lying if I said the tone and gimmick really allowed this episode to feel like part of the established Walking Dead universe. “Evie/Joe” was about both characters equally and the development of their relationship the same is true of “Blair/Gina”. And the titling structure of this anthology is beginning to make more sense now. Usually, time loop stories are about some kind of moral awakening, so I was pleased to see this one working on the terms of its central relationship. At one point, Gina suggests outright that Blair might have a personality disorder that she has somehow inherited the idea that both are crazy isn’t compelling, but I suppose it’s a useful excuse for the gimmick being impossible to justify otherwise. You can even feel some nervousness in how this is addressed in dialogue. It’s fun to watch them interact for the duration of the episode, even if the whole thing raises more questions than it answers, plot-wise.įor instance, is this canon? There was no indication in the first episode that it couldn’t have taken place within the established universe, but this one raises the possibility of a magical component that has never been addressed elsewhere. It’s predictable in the sense of them both learning to understand and sort of like one another, but Posey and Bell have great chemistry, and their dialogue crackles. But they evolve beyond that, and their relationship goes to some interesting places. It quickly becomes apparent that they’re both experiencing the same thing over and over, so working out their differences – Blair is bossy and self-absorbed, while Gina is insular and doesn’t say how she feels – becomes crucial in figuring out a way for both to make it past what quickly emerges as a 5 pm deadline.īlair and Gina both begin as broad archetypes – the horrible boss and the overworked employee. Set at the very beginning of the outbreak and mired in the uncertainty of a mysterious plague that is supposedly sending people hungrily berserk, both Blair and Gina die during a gas station standoff and wake up in the office once again. Parker Posey and Jillian Bell play the title characters, an insurance boss and her put-upon secretary, and they’re both so good here that you can forgive a lot of missteps elsewhere.Īnd it helps that the relationship between these two is really at the center of the drama. But, also like the first episode, the secret weapon is character. The odds aren’t exactly in favor of this episode, then, and I must admit I found the gimmick fairly tedious.
