Recovered from that episode yet?

Fear the Walking Dead continued its fine season with 'This Land Is Your Land', a breathtaking and action-packed episode which picked up where last week left off – with a zombie horde descending on the ranch.

AMC

Fans were quick to praise the character of Alicia Clark (Alycia Debnam-Carey), who truly excelled in the episode.

Alicia – along with a group of other survivors – had barricaded themselves in the underground pantry, but the situation turned grim when they realised that they were all running out of oxygen, as there was a blockage in the vent.

While Ofelia (Mercedes Mason) set off to clear the vent, Alicia stepped up and made a huge call. She asked everyone who had been bitten to step forward and volunteer to be killed, to buy everybody else more time.

She was the one who put them all down, which she took extremely hard – and it was almost all for naught as pretty much everybody else died (including new friend Christine), either by suffocation or infection.

The ranch too was destroyed, as an explosion from Madison (Kim Dickens) blowing up the place's fuel reserve obliterated most of the remaining walkers.

The intensity and the character-driven moments of the episode were appreciated by viewers, with some calling 'This Land Is Your Land' among the best episode of the series.

Not only that, but given the perceived decline in quality of the original Walking Dead during its divisive seventh season, many fans reckon that Fear the Walking Dead is now the superior show.

It can't just be me who thinks #FearTWD is far more compelling than #TWD ? Only season 3 but loaded with action rather than drama!! — Em (@Emcraftment) October 2, 2017

Why?

What next?

With the ranch gone, the surviving characters have split in two – Madison leading some to the dam, where Daniel is at, while Alicia decides to head to a cabin the late Jake told her about.

Troy also (somehow) gets off the hook after his part in driving the horde to the ranch, with Nick lying for him. There will surely be repercussions from that dubious call as the third season nears its end...

Fear the Walking Dead airs Sundays on AMC in the US, and Mondays on AMC on BT TV in the UK.
