'Fear the Walking Dead' continues to prove it's not 'The Walking Dead'

MASHABLE
Well, that happened.
One week after introducing Connor — a sort of big bad of the high seas — Fear the Walking Dead offed the SOB in Sunday's new episode.
The beauty of this surprising — but not in any way disappointing —
death was that it gave the show an opportunity to further set itself
apart from its big brother, The Walking Dead.
This show made clear with this episode that it's more concerned with
the bottom line — in this case, the characters on the boat and their
mission to get to Baja — rather than using several episodes to fall into
a meet a foe/prepare to fight a foe/fight the foe
cycle. I had fully expected the gang to waste a whole episode on recon
and get to know the residents of the Connor-led community a little bit.
I've never been happier to be wrong. That's not to say we've seen the
last of this group — but I was pleased with the speedy rescue.
