The Corner Penthouse

Lionsgate recently released the Fear The Walking Dead: The Complete Sixth Season Blu-ray (aka Season 6). Read on to find out more about it...

[ SYNOPSIS ]

After being torn apart by the Pioneers, Morgan's (Lennie James) group is now dispersed across their far-reaching settlements, with life behind the Pioneers' walls testing each of the group's members in different ways - and forcing them to define who they really are in this new world. As Morgan's bid to free the remaining members of the group grows bolder, Virginia's (Colby Minifie) desperation to find her sister accelerates, as does her need to protect the settlements from the enemy forces outside...and within. With new alliances forming, relationships dissolving, loyalties switching, and everyone forced to take sides, "The End Is the Beginning" reveals its deepest meaning.

[ QUICK THOUGHTS ]

After a weak fifth season, Fear The Walking Dead returns to form with the much stronger sixth season. The first half of the season wraps up the Viriginia storyline, though it's dragged out a little bit. Case in point: June (Jenna Elfman) had a chance to kill Virginia while they were both trapped at an oil field, but because June is one of our "goodie goodie" heroes, she saved her instead. As a result, more people died and more bad stuff happened. The second half of the season introduces a new bad guy in the form of the deranged Teddy Maddox, played with glee by John Glover. Yeah, Daniel Clamp from Gremlins 2. The Teddy storyline is what all of that "The End Is the Beginning" graffiti was about. Anyway, this season features two of the series best episodes: "In Dreams" and "J.D.". Although the season ends on a bit of absurdity, it does leave me wanting to see Season 7.

[ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ]

A Digital Copy code voucher is also included in the standard four-disc blue Blu-ray case. The first print run includes a slipsleeve.

I have to point out that the Blu-ray menus are horrible. The text is extremely small, so it can't be easily read from far away. Compounding the problem is that the highlighter is red, and the background image is nearly all red. If it doesn't look too bad in the images below, try looking it it from 10-feet away.
