![]() It was all being told to us by Brandon and Derek, but given how fearful they were for their lives, why admit that they murdered Chris? It has to be real. More season finale shocks included Stand staying behind at the hotel, Nick inadvertently leading the entire Tijuana community into the arms of crazed gun-toting mercenaries, and the reveal that Chris was, in fact, dead. So the moment still played pretty big, especially given how much of a disconnect there's been in the past between her and Travis. I never really cared about any of the hotel people as characters, but we at least got a few scenes here and there showing us how Alicia was befriending a few of them. Travis taking out his rage and killing those two guys was huge, as was Alicia then killing Andrés in order to defend Travis. I was genuinely surprised a couple of times over these two episodes, and not in bad ways. ![]() More often than not, this show zigs when it should zag, to put it plainly, and a lot of the choices the main characters make either don't make sense from a motivation standpoint or they feel too naive given the dire state of the world. Which then made his brutal killing of those two awful zompocalypse dudebros, which stemmed directly from his guilt over leaving Chris with them, even more shocking. ![]() Through this prism of Chris and the douchebags he wanted to ride with we got to see how right Travis was in his attempt to be a "good man" in a terrible world. Yes, Travis began the show as a severely frustrating character, but his storyline with Chris this year - starting with his decision in the midseason finale to stay with his demented son in order to try and reach out to him - did wonders for him. I just didn't realize that Travis would be the perpetrator - and that he would go so damn far, even accidentally killing Oscar in his fit of murderous rage against Derek and Brandon. I mentioned, in a review from a few chapters back, that Madison's "no violence" decree would most likely come back to haunt her.
