Fear the Walking Dead 2x05. "Captive"
Podcast episode 11.  "Captive"

     It's just Bruce and Stephen this week discussing the new episode of Fear the Walking Dead, "Captive." Our crew has retaken the yacht, but can the get back the missing members of their group?

     Stephen notes that this episode balances action with character development, in contrast to other episodes that tend to have one or the other. We both like the steak cooking scene and our introduction to Connor. He seems to have taken over rather quickly in the first few days of the apocalypse, having been the cook before. Probably as time goes by in the series, we'll see more capable leaders develop. It seems with the death of modern civilization, people revert quickly to tribalism, humanity's first social structure.  It may be that tribalism proves to be the most durable way of organizing society.
