2. Some promising side plots are developing.

I like the way this show is able to work with large populations of semi-normal people who still believe they can survive the apocalypse as a large community. Compare that with WD where the groups that our regulars encountered were either small, or already established with rules that were hostile to outsiders. (Except for Alexandria that was still living in Never Never Land because of the quarry.) I know the timeline where the two shows begin with has a lot to do with that.

The side plots that may prove fruitful in the future include: Ofelia Salazar's walkabout in the desert and the possibility that she might encounter people who are away from the urban madness, enough to hold on to their humanity. I think they are building her up as well as Alicia to be tough female survivors.

Madison and Victor - I absolutely love the way they deconstructed Travis's character. From a father who was trying to set the best example to his son, to an avenging father that broke Madison's rules and got them booted out of the safest place that they have seen.

There is a happy medium somewhere, or is there in the post apocalypse?
