Uncharted Territory
ninjaboyballer8 July 2019
Warning: Spoilers
"The Little Prince" is once again a solid episode of Fear the Walking Dead Season 5. Annie gets her chance to shine and while I still think she's a bit annoying, her and her groups backstory gave me more remorse for her character and the rest of her friends. The Dwight and John scenes were also really great and didn't really feel like filler, especially John reading Sherry's final letter and not telling Dwight about it. Man, I feel so bad for Dwight. Right when he started getting his hopes up. The scenes with Grace were also really interesting, and part of the reason for that is providing a ticking time bomb for our characters to get out of the place they are staying at. Although in this episode I feel like the scenes with Strand, Sarah, and Charlie all felt like filler at least until the very end.

Overall this is another solid episode with good character moments and sets up a new threat for the remaining 2 episodes of the 1st half of Season 5

Final rating: 7.5/10

A slow burn entertaining season.
cruise019 July 2019
Fear the Walking Dead

Episode 5.06 (3 out of 5 stars).

While Morgan and his group are tasked at fixing a plane to escape a contaminated area. John and Dwight are on a search for Sherry.

The episode is a bit of a slow burn. A plot that is little interesting with a group being stuck from a power plant that is beginning another meltdown and the zombies are contaminated with radiation. The kids are stubborn on leaving the hostile location. The episode has been nothing but a repetition with a weak story and slow moving pace. A group of surviving scientists exterminating the radioactive zombies. And a mysterious military group that is coming and going. The season needs to pick up.

Story moves on really well with some great acting and writing, a great episode
Holt3448 July 2019
This is how The Walking Dead works the best, the group back together and working together. This was a needed episode as it moved the episode along nicely whilst nailing the character moments as it brought everyone a time to shine. Character moments like Morgan's and the heart to heart conversation with John and Dwight is two of many great moments of the episode that doesn't spoil anything. The pacing was actually really good as there were three plot points, it turned out nicely. How everything played out was a joy to watch, great television. Branching out from the The Walking Dead formula and succeeds. This is how I wanted the 4th season to be, no villain, just the environment as the villain and they succeeded!

The only bad thing about this episode was how they shot some scenes in the dark, made it really hard to see the faces at times, other than that I couldn't see any negative parts of this except for one other thing that's a spoiler. It was a great episode that focused on moving the story along with great moments and acting that makes this one of the stronger episodes of the season. The writing was a big part of the episode except for one thing that I found plot holish, the dialogue were some of the strongest yet of the season.

Enjoyable episode, still sloppy writing
nomis947 July 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Yet again I'm enjoying myself watching this season so far. There are some issues with the writing though. The whole thing with the balloon is cool and all - but it's something "Z Nation" would deliver to the viewers, not the TWD franchise. Scott M. Gimple is a bit of a child, I guess. Hopefully he takes the criticism seriously and delivers good Rick-Grimes-movies.

Even the A-Team couldn't put a plane back together
dixieuk-0729431 August 2020
Warning: Spoilers
I know it's real. I know it's a TV program but come on now! You just can't put a plane back together with tape and welding. I've worked in the aviation sector for 28 years. Maybe there was a metal fabrication shop in that truck stop I didn't see. Planes are held together with nuts n bolts and thousands of rivets. Plus how much fuel do they have? I suppose Diesel would work. The only cockpit gauges that aren't important are navigation if their only flying low in daylight. That all said I still enjoy watching the show.

In this episode, the sense of urgency is palpable, and each character's contribution to the mission adds layers to their individual arcs as well as to the dynamic of the group
fernandoschiavi22 April 2024
Morgan's group brings the plane wreckage to the truck stop and set to work repairing it with the help of the Annie's group. However, the plane's propellers break in an attempt to start it up, leaving them scrambling to find a solution. Annie decides to take the other children and leave and explains the events surrounding the loss of their parents at the camp the group found. Alicia decides to search for them despite understanding their mentality. Strand and Charlie arrive to help with new propellers using Jim Brauer's old hot air balloon. However, the balloon crashes in a field in the radioactive zone.

Dwight and John continue the search for Sherry. John finds a note from Sherry asking for Dwight to give up the search, but lies to him about it.

Grace contacts Morgan to reveal that the power plant's second reactor is going to soon meltdown. They come up with a plan to use the truck stop's generator to delay the meltdown, but Grace does not believe it can be stopped completely. Rather than risk Morgan's life, Grace heads off on her own to try to buy them time.

"The Little Prince," the sixth episode of "Fear the Walking Dead" Season 5, skillfully blends themes of hope, redemption, and collective effort, presenting a narrative rich in emotional depth and character development. In this episode, the group strives to repair an airplane as a means to escape the area contaminated by radiation, illustrating a literal and metaphorical journey towards salvation.

The episode is set against the backdrop of impending doom, with the characters racing against time to fix the plane before the surrounding dangers overwhelm them. The central plot focuses on the group's efforts to come together to overcome technical and emotional hurdles. The sense of urgency is palpable, and each character's contribution to the mission adds layers to their individual arcs as well as to the dynamics within the group. Notable is the growth of characters like Luciana, who finds a new sense of purpose and leadership during these trying times.

One of the most touching moments is the episode's homage to Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's "The Little Prince," from which the episode takes its title. This is reflected in the storyline involving Charlie and the attempts to bring back the childlike wonder and hope lost in the apocalyptic world. The references to the story are woven through the dialogues and the characters' reflections on their situations, enriching the narrative with themes of innocence and nostalgia for a simpler time.

However, "The Little Prince" also deals with the harsh realities of survival, as the group faces numerous setbacks, including mechanical failures and the threat from walkers. The tension culminates in a daring rescue operation that highlights the series' ability to deliver intense action sequences alongside its deeper emotional and thematic explorations.

The episode serves as a strong midpoint for the season, effectively advancing the main storyline while deepening character relationships and individual arcs. "The Little Prince" not only provides an emotionally charged storyline but also reaffirms the series' commitment to exploring complex themes such as hope and redemption against a backdrop of despair. Its blend of action, character development, and philosophical undertones makes it a compelling addition to the season.

I love it when the band is together
joszac7 July 2019
Such a cool episode with everyone being together, kinda. Al is now one of my favorite characters for sure. Sarah is chill. Charlie is actually useful, same as Victor. June is amazing. John - no words needed (he is everything the show needs). Morgan is such a good person and loyal friend. Wendell is chill as well. Dwight is tragic but cool. Alicia - badass as ever. Luciana, the love of my life. Grace is a promising newbie, hopefully she sticks around, I really like Karen David as an actress. Oh well, and the kids. Not so sure about them.

The storyline is just idiotic
kingforaday-214-4381029 January 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Why they just dont walk away? It's not an island... Morgan walked to Texas from Alexandria. They can fix a plane..and now even without electricity... Serously? You cannot kill radioactive Zombie but you can stand just next to Morgan in a protective suit killing it ..and its absolutely fine.

S5. E6 - Dumb Writing But Entertaining [7.6/10]
panagiotis19934 October 2023
Warning: Spoilers
(S5. E6) My Reaction / Review for Fear The Walking Dead Season 5 Episode 6 ''The Little Prince'': Episode 5 was mediocre and I gave it a rating of 6/10. Let's see if this one is better or worse. The episode starts with a very cringe monologue by Morgan. So now all these kids are added to the group? That's such a bad idea, its not like they have enough supplies for everyone. They are still searching for Dwight's wife, I hope they will find her. I wish this Grace character was not part of the show, same goes for the kids. The kids are leaving? Yes, yes please. So John did find a letter from Dwight's wife but he lies to Dwight about it? That sucks. Victor uses an air baloon to fly, that's funny. Overall certain things are dumb but it's an entertaining episode, my rating is 7.6/10.

They will build a space shuttle soon
mihmichael7 October 2021
Warning: Spoilers
So, a bunch of guys without any knowledge about airplanes manage to fly (and crash one) and now, with some help from kids, they are trying to "fix an airplane"? Propeller breaks off but no harm done, although there were abou 20 people around standing and watching this. Ok. So, what to do next? Let's find a balloon and fly! And yeah, radiation is critical, let's take a generator from a gas station, that should fix the nuclear ppwer plant! Dear Lord, are these episodes writen by kids? Or worse? Now I'm watching this show just to laugh and see how low they are willing to go, just for a few more money checks!

Boring, stupid, and atrocious
moviefan10178 July 2019
Warning: Spoilers
I'm honestly baffled by those who actually liked this episode (and this season for that matter). Everyone is entitled to their opinon, but I think I'm watching a different show. This episode was horrible. They're going to fix a plane?? Seriously?? Just like that??? Does anyone there actually know how to fix a plane??? Of course not!! Why in the hell does Alicia keep insisting on helping those kids when the've made it very clear they don't want help? That whole premise is just dumb and boring; they going out and actively seeking people who want help, even though most don't even want their help. They keep saying how the're stranded, but... how?? Is not like they're in an island. Why don't they just walk away in the opposite direction of the nuclear plant? They've also completely ruined Morgan. He now gives speeches in every damn episode about "who they are", how "it's supposed to be hard" and blah blah blah. It's painfully boring. And of course, just when the episode and the season could not get any worse, they fly a beer-shaped hot air ballon... I've no word. This is supposed to be a serious, horror drama, but apparently it's not. Still can't believe this is the same show that delivered a fantastic third season.

Not Dead but Lifeless Nonetheless
adam-leemartin10 July 2019
At one point in time, this show was pretty cutting edge and had a slightly different feel (out of necessity) to The Walking Dead, it's predecessor and sister show. For approximately four seasons, there were interesting story lines, characters and conflicts. Moreover, the show appeared to have a reason for being, an underlying logic the justified the series existence in a world where a regularly-aired post-apocalyptic zombie series was already in an advanced stage of development in the minds of the audience that was most likely to watch a similar incarnation of the original series.

However, since the near-simultaneous stripping of the two lead characters from the show entirely not so long ago (maybe because they were too white and hetero for the modern film industry to bear... who knows?; the show was initially built around the relationship between a hardened career mother and her mentally checked out, drug-addicted son, both of whom had the ability to carry the show as co-leads and, in the case of the actress who played the mother, as the sole antagonist in this post-apocalyptic drama), the show has been in a precipitous decline and now merely drifts aimlessly from one uninteresting event to the other... however, it does so minus the interesting characters and conflicts that previously occupied the series.

In place of the dynamic mother/son lead duo, the series has pushed Alicia, who up until recently was a relatively peripheral figure, despite being the daughter of the one-time female protagonist, into the lead role and, unfortunately, the character doesn't have the personality to pull it off.

Alicia is largely a blank slate and a dull one at that. She has very little to offer beyond her character's overly-emphasized, one-dimensional angst. To make matters worse, her co-male lead (a cast-off from the original series) is just as one-dimensional, morally-prudish and angst-ridden as is his co-star... and in an anarchic environment which you would not think would be all that hospitable to the extended practice of moral philosophising and, moreover, as the world around them burns.

Adding to the list of brooding and uninteresting characters that have robbed this show of the excitement and interest it used to possess are John, June and Althea, who each give the viewer no reason to care about them whatsoever.

The show's only interesting characters since the departure of the mom and son duo have been Victor (whose character originally possessed the backstory, charisma and personality to carry the show but whom now, since having been domesticated, more closely resembles a carbon copy of the dependably-dull Morgan) and the almost-completely sidelined Luciana (who possesses an understated charm and sense of vulnerability that ensures that the viewer actually cares about the fate of the character).

All in all, the killing off of Madison and Nick was a huge mistake. As was the senseless termination of Troy, who was an extremely interesting and engaging character who met his demise at the hands of Madison when she and her crew lost control of the dam. Additional mistakes includes the recruitment of uninteresting and lifeless background characters from the original series to fill prominent roles in the show going forward, the elevation Alicia (who possesses both the looks and lifeless persona of a standard beauty-pageant participant) to prominence is also the consequence of a huge error of judgement.

The addition of an extraordinarily uninteresting and obviously lesbian character (which helps fuel suspicion that political correctness has motivated the removal and introduction of a number of cast members that has so harmed the show as of late... the irony being that of the most interesting and engaging current characters in the show, one is a gay/black man and the other is a Latin female) is completely unnecessary. While even the most gruesome death possibly imagined for the likes of John and June is highly unlikely to elicit much concern from the viewers.

Of all of the new characters introduced to the show, only Charlie is intriguing enough to, along with Strand and Luciana, fill the shoes of the departed.

I have not even gotten into the completely confused path that more or less the entire crew has decided to willingly embark on, which seems to involve very little in the way of planning, logic, foresight and an awful lot of senselessly flying (sometimes literally) by the seat of their pants, leading to one artificially-contrived tangle after another.

In summation, nothing can now be done about the departure of previously engaging characters. However, the most interesting characters (Victor and Luciana... joined by Charlie) in the show need to become the focal point of the series and quickly. While the group itself needs to set upon a logical/feasible objective to provide some semblance of realism and structure to what is a surreal environment but at the same time a pretty directionless and confused show... for the time being, at least.

Many happy mamas and papas
eugeniocll9 July 2019
The main focus of the episode is the relationship between the female characters and the siblings, especially Annie and Dylan. And it is disappointing. Symphaty and sweet moments is all you get until the very end of the episode when we got a true adventorous moment. That's what made FTWD cool!

Alcoholics wrote this
topgun-2970913 October 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Next scene:

Watching Fear the Walking Dead and I'm still seriously thinking an alcoholic with a resentment wrote season 5 to make beer or beer-related props and plot lines the heroic twist or final ingredient to save the day.

I'm watching season 5 episode 6 and the big reveal at the end is that they found a hot air balloon in the shape of a giant beer bottle to transport safely the supplies needed to escape their current predicament.

Beer Balloon.
jellymcalpha10 July 2019
What is this show anymore? It used to be smart, it used to be self-aware. Season 4 and onwards has been pandering, moral-speech-throat-shoving garbage. The writing has dipped from one of the best shows on air during Season 1 through 3 to one of the top 10 worst, I'm talking worse than The 100. This episode felt like an episode of a show on Disney Channel with a sepia filter. There were 10 (yes, I counted) "moral" speeches given in this episode alone. 10! Also, beer balloon. I don't even need to explain why that's the stupidest thing I've ever seen from FTWD. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

Fear The Walking Soap Opera! Morges and his Team of Here to Helpers. Wait, What? Outrageously Insulting the Audience!
Bababooe8 July 2019
Warning: Spoilers
This thing is so impractical, contrived, and convoluted that at this point I'm waiting for Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock to beam down from the Enterprise and phaser everyone to kingdom come. The first few minutes of this week's episode gave me the best laugh in a week. Thank you for that.

Get this: Morges (aka The New Moses) gives a speech in front of The Helper Team (including newcomer Dwight the X-Savior), camera at low angle for dramatic effect, to the Children of the Radiation, about being here to help. Let's all take this in. They crash land an airplane that nobody knew how to fly into a radiated are with radiated zombies, wild children, a radiation chick, bump into Dwight, and the Three Ring Circle Helicopter Chick who has the hots for Al. Conveniently they're in an enclosed area with food, water, electricity, cars, trucks, and yes the broken plane that they don't know how to fix, but no worries, they will fix it. How? Willpower. Because the younger radiation child is reading a kids book and now they all have the confidence to perform miracles. I know I can, said the little train engine as it tried to make it up the mountain. This show is now completely in fantasy land. A land of absolute nonsense.

The contrivance continues. Somehow they know the roads are blocked, flooded, and filled with radiation, so they can't drive out. They fix the plane, Al starts the propellers and one of them fails and flies off not killing anything, no humans, no dogs, not even an innocent unsuspecting pigeon. That may have provided some comedy or horror. Anything, please. Al's working on the plane, June shows up, notices Al is melancholy, about the improbable nonsense we witnessed last week, and offers to listen in confidence, because once Al listened to June of her own melancholy. Soap. Big Sister Radiation Children Leader tells Alyc that they've had enough with The Helper Team nonsense and are taking off. We then hear a sob story about how her parents got radiated. Soap. Alyc offers her keys to one of the cars.

Meanwhile at the batcave, Cowboy John and Dwight are looking for clues to where D's wife may be. It's so convenient that not only is Dwig here, but his X-Wife was here and may still be. Cowboy has nothing better to do but to help. He is after all part of The Helper Team. We get some real soap here ladies and gentleman. Cowboy showing his sentimental side by telling Dwig about looking for June, and how June spelled out her love for him on blocks. Oh, I'm sorry, I thought this was supposed to be about zombies. That's what the show is called right? Anyway, Dwig spills his guts to Cowboy about his wife and Savior Neeg, then they find clues left by his wife, by way of Cowboy penciling a note that his wife left on a diner order form. This stuff is so dumb, I just can't continue. So dumb. And Improbable. Are they trying to build up D's wife into some vagabond mystery character? She leaves all these notes like an Easter Egg Hunt. It's just ridiculous.

Cowboy finds and reads a letter from D's wife to D, telling him this is her last letter, like it's the post office, and to stop looking. I don't know about you, but just for basic decency, you do not read someone else's letters. Soap, Disgrace and Downfall of Cowboy John. Then, D comes out of a house with supplies and all happy. He's found encouragement from his new buddy Cowboy that maybe he can find his wife. Cowboy lies and says he didn't find any clues. More Soap and Even More Disgrace of Cowboy John. Freaking 2 grown men acting like dumb, dumber, and sentimental fools. Meanwhile, I thought there was this little thing going wrong in the world like, Dead People Walking and Looking To Kill You!

Meanwhile at camp Vic, Backstab Charlie, Truckes, and Wheelchair. Although Wheelchair only made a walky appearance. Beer Jimbo makes a magazine cover appearance, with an ad for his brewery and his beer balloon. Oh, Yeah!

Grace the Radiation lady asks Morgy for the rest area's generator and help in moving some blocked cars. Apparently, the power plant will have another meltdown. But she may be able to stall it. While Morgy is having a romantic moment with his radiated lightsaber Grace takes off. This is so touching of Morgy. He speaks of his love of this stick in a most eerie and perverse way. Morgy starts his walk back to camp. Just a dumb scene.

Vic and Backstab are now seen in Jimbo's Beer Balloon, with airplane propellers attached to the side. This is the most ridiculous sight ever displayed in the history of Television. It's shocking how the writers actually sold this dumb idea to the producers. I require all the writer's notes, and all the correspondences with all involved in bringing this ridiculous nonsense to publication. It is so outrageous. If all involved in this production are not embarrassed, you have lost all connection to reality and humanity. Can you really believe that what you are showing could ever happen in any universe? Not only do Vic and Backstab find Jimbos' balloon, it's ready to take off, it has fuel, they know how to fly it, and they navigate and locate Morgy's Helper Team. Yeah, I don't think so. Just give it up.

So, let's get this straight. The entire area may have another nuclear meltdown. Vic and Back crash land the balloon in a field of radiated zombies. Alyc wants all the kids to see the balloon like a circus act, notices that they're gone, she gave them car keys, and now she's out looking for them. Morgy is hightailing it to help Vic and Back. What a convoluted bunch of improbable nonsense. They say it can only happen in the movies. And it does here. What's next? The Starship Enterprise? Darth Vader? Maybe Spider-Man. Who the hell knows?!?

Here's some advice to the writers. If the story is so ridiculous that only a brain dead zombie would buy it, you need to stop, and start over. I get it. This is the zombie apocalypse. Dead people, Survivors, Interpersonal Conflict, Villains, Situations, etc. However, once you go into improbable, Man, That's out of line. You contrived this that and the other thing. You have convoluted situations, mysteries that will tie in later and such. But improbable. Now you're in fantasyland. If you're goal is to be so outrageous by pushing the story to fantasyland to see what the audience will accept, then you are insulting the audience. And, just stop with the phony 10 star reviews and ratings. Please find your integrity and produce quality television.

WTF Happened????
bowedeclan22 November 2019
This show has completely lost its way, not since season 3 which was excellent and great story with the bikers, plus a cliffhanger ending, but what happened after it went on a different path entirely, in season 3 they had found perfect vilian to continue on, but no writers decision on a different storyline dat a 2 year old could write, its finished this show for me anyway, I did not watch all season 4 and expected it to pick up on 5 but worse its getting....

Possibly the weakest episode of either show
ramair3508 July 2019
I am a mega fan of both Walking Dead shows, and while they both have ups and downs, one strength overall has been that the actions of the characters typically feel genuine.

However, this episode set a new low bar in that the major sequences that occurred were simply not believable, nor were they decisions that rational people would make in those situations. It is painfully obvious that a theme was chosen for this season, and by god the writers MUST write a story that fits neatly with the theme. But at the expense of having anything that remotely resembles a believable story.

Sure, anyone watching the show is willing to entertain what happens in an unreal world, but when common sense no longer applies, enjoyment of watching the show no longer applies. I will still give it a 4 stars because there are still technical aspects to the filming that are well done, and the actors are doing an admirable job to deliver bad material.

Please AMC - we need new showrunner(s) immediately.

Painful
ghcheese8 July 2019
Let's all stand around and give speeches. Than let's cry on each others shoulder. This season sucks. I don't know if they got new writers or what the deal is. It started last season. And it's gotten worse. I feel like I'm watching the A Team. Making stuff out of nothing for a fight. They could have drove out of there in the time they looked for airplane parts. Last season while people suffered and almost died Morgan walked how far to save them? Really. They should have been dead.

Please, just kill me now
jon-181715 July 2019
Just when you thought this show has hit rock bottom (like in season 2) it just keeps getting worse. Now we have the goonies in the zombie apocalypse, alongside flight of the Phoenix. I mean seriously, does anyone actually read the scrips before they shoot? Or do they just sit around drinking champagne and cashing their checks while some intern figures out what gross new way to kill a crappy looking zombie?

nuclear zombies, beer balloons and Dorie's luck
Rob-O-Cop8 July 2019
Can't say I'm really feeling this nuclear meltdown zombie contamination thing. I appreciate them trying to take it up a notch with the zombie threat but they haven't really sold this thing. Nice to see the power plant in the distance from the Beer balloon though....... I hated the balloon but I still enjoyed it, maybe that's what this series needs, some good self depreciating weirdness, So one woman works alone to contain a nuke meltdown in a world where that's probably not the biggest thing to worry about. They spent so little time selling the threat though. Thought the scene with Morgan and his old stick would yield some bigger insight and laughs, it was ok. The best bits again were John Dorie's. I like the luck angle, things just fall into place for the guy, surprising even him. Would have preferred he didn't break his honesty code to perpetuate Dwight's story though. It makes a change to see good in the modern tv world instead of wall to wall grimness and dark choices. Don't feel the need to turn Dorie dark, he's fine just as he is. Looks like the paid 10/10 reviewers are still in a job after all. You know we can see what other programs you've reviewed. Having only written 3 Walking dead reviews is a Walking Dead giveaway. At least whack down some rubbish for a couple of other shows for your employers just to make it look like you're at least trying to cover your tracks.

Ha! Now Al is a welder and airplane mechanic!!!
cynth_marple16 September 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Wow - now the wooden, one dimensional Al is a welder & airplane mechanic!!! This show is funnier than most comedies out there. I keep watching for the ridiculous situations. Can't find water but full welding gear just pops up when needed. Don't get me started on the useless Luciano. And Morgan's repetitive, dull lectures are snooze worthy. Oh yeah, and the lone nuclear scientist is back!!!! Only Morgan's generator can save them!!!!! I've done some things. I've been where you are. I need to make up for those things. Help you, help me, help the world See? I can write this show!!! Still needs the belly laughs so I guess I'll keep watching these laughable scenarios & sudden experts.
