They're afraid of her thanks to the truck, but she offers to trade them a case of noodle cups and a case of Pall Mall cigarettes for Morgan and John. She was nearby when she heard the gunshot and, since apparently she knows this crew and their thieving ways, decided to come check it out. Althea arrives driving her massive SWAT truck, fully equipped with two machine guns that she can control with a lever above the driving wheel. That's when a second new character shows up. Now both John and Morgan are disarmed and held at gunpoint and things aren't looking too bright. Well these highwaymen aren't as stupid as they look, and no sooner does John show up to the rescue then several more armed men walk out from hiding spots nearby. This is the second example of what a good shot John is, which is a welcome change from The Walking Dead and that show's inability to make gunfights interesting. This is when John shows up, shooting the lead bandit's gun right out of his hand. They've set up a tent as a trap for wanderers and hold him at gunpoint. Unfortunately he's ambushed by bandits not long after. When he can't, he leaves without a farewell, back on his own just the way he likes it. Morgan is suspicious, wary of John's generosity, but he eventually relents and tries to sleep in the back of the truck. So John invites him over for some food, a warm fire, a place to sleep in the back of his truck. He whips out his pistol and shoots it and we see Morgan had just run up behind the zombie to kill it with his stick. So all the while John is talking it turns out it was just a walker approaching his campfire. Laura is her name and she has a gun identical to his. At one point he was with a woman but somehow they split up and now he's looking for her. He's been on his own for a long time, he tells the darkness. I'm so used to seeing him as a bad guy in shows like Justified and Deadwood that it's really refreshing and great to see him play this sweet cowboy instead. It's not so different from some of the quirkier characters on The Walking Dead, but it's not so over the top and Dillahunt is brilliant in the role. First off, that he's really quirky and has an odd way of talking. He stands up and speaks into the night, revealing little details about himself. John looks like a gunslinger, dressed all in black with a six-shooter on his hip and a cowboy hat.
Fear the walking dead season two episode four full#
His full name is John Dorie (like the fish, he tells Morgan, but with an 'ie' insteady of a 'y.') John is by himself reading a book by his fire when he hears someone or some thing approaching from the woods. The episode opens to a man named John played by Garret Dillahunt. The character interactions feel more natural. The cinematography and lighting are better. The rest of the episode is much, much better than this cross-over section. "Far, far away from The Walking Dead and its crappy writing."Īnd so he does, and thank goodness. In any case, Morgan seems to be thinking along the same lines. Nobody needed to stick around for this whole war with Negan. Why can't he run? Honestly, any one of them could have run at any point. "You can hide but you can't run," Rick says, for some reason, even though that really doesn't make any sense. The last visitor is Rick who, because this is The Walking Dead, tells Morgan that he can hide but he can't run. In fact, if Carol had been the only visitor (or if she'd come with visitor #3) this whole segment would have been less painful. Carol is the second visitor, which makes more sense.

I'm not aware of Jesus and Morgan having much of a relationship beyond that and the episode where they beat each other up, but I guess Jesus felt the need to come tell Morgan to come home. The first visitor is Jesus, I guess because he had a moment with Morgan in the season finale of The Walking Dead.
