Featured review
The episode masterfully combines elements of suspense and horror, raising questions about what it means to be human in the face of unimaginable horror
In the Salazar's barber shop, Travis, Liza and Chris are waiting for the riot outside to disperse; yet are forced to leave when a fire break outs. Both families make their way through the streets but Griselda's leg is heavily injured in the process. Unable to go to the hospital, they head back to Madison's house where they discover an infected neighbor named Peter whom is killed by Daniel.
Still in shock over what happened last night, Travis and Madison bury Peter's body while the Salazar's attempt to find their own route to escape despite Griselda's injury. Daniel sees Travis and Madison as good people, yet believes they are always the first to die. Later, the National Guard arrives in the suburb and they begin sweeping the houses for infected and kill them on site. Travis believes things will now get better while Daniel shares an opposite opinion.
In the third episode of "Fear the Walking Dead," titled "The Dog," the escalation of the outbreak and its consequent chaos take a more personal turn for the Clark and Manawa families, further deepening the exploration of survival and humanity. As society's veneer begins to crack, the families find themselves facing not just the external threat of the infected but the internal challenge of holding onto their moral compass.
The episode masterfully combines elements of suspense and horror, particularly highlighted during the tense scene where Travis, Madison, and their children are forced to deal with their neighbor turned zombie. This confrontation is not just a physical struggle but a psychological one, marking a significant moment where the characters have to confront the new reality. The use of the family dog, tragically drawn to danger, serves as a poignant metaphor for the characters' own unwitting attraction to the chaos that will ultimately consume them.
"The Dog" also excels in showcasing the breakdown of societal structures through its detailed depiction of Los Angeles in disarray. The power outage serves as a literal and metaphorical darkness descending upon the city, underscoring the fragility of civilization. This episode raises critical questions about what it means to be human in the face of unimaginable horror, and whether retaining one's humanity is a strength or a vulnerability. The characters' varied reactions to the crisis offer a rich tapestry of human emotion and survival instincts, setting the stage for the moral dilemmas to come.
