This is just so bad. I'm still trying to figure out who died (LOL?) and left Madison as queen of the ZA. Play a few little games of freecell and I am hopelessly lost. Seems to happen every episode.

Why do  subject myself to this?

Yeah, and WTF is up with that?

Very creepy.

[raven]

So Troy didn't get exiled?

NM Nick is hallucinating.

Hot box looks very hot.

[nodorothyparker]

Nice how this ranch in the middle of nowhere has a convenient hotbox for Nick to hallucinate Troy in.  I guess? that's what's happening?

OK Troy gets 1 point for fake zombie joke.

And apparently the point goes to Nick for hallucinating the fake zombie joke.

[raven]

We're imposing rationing but, as your leaders, going away to let you handle it.  Good luck!!!

I can't believe she didn't kill him. 

She should have. So therefore, she didn't!

Nick is in a hot box, hallucinating.

Ooooh, I wasn't paying attention and assumed it was an outhouse.

[minamurray78]

So, is Madison cool with her son being dessicated in a tin can?

[Glaze Crazy]

Well, heck, who needs to watch this show that closely. They just slapped me up side the head with a water balloon. The season is headed to a big showdown at the dam over water.

[raven]

If I were Nick, I'd be all "Do I LOOK okay, Mom"  I mean, WTF, it's all about "I need to know your OK, have fun in the hot box, kthnxbye"

[mightysparrow]

Did I miss the part where Nick got put in the hotbox?  And why?

[minamurray78]

Maybe Maddie should have splashed some water on Nick's face first? I don't know that he can pick the water up.

[nodorothyparker]

So we're supposed to believe Madison is going to leave for a "trade mission" while her most favorite child is locked up?  Even Alicia seems to be having trouble buying all this.  But hey, she's "the strong one."

And yes, I realize this is all to get her to the dam to meet up with Daniel or run back into Strand along the way.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Am I the only one, who hoped Nick had died and turned?

 

When BLANDison stuck her hand in the hot box.

[nodorothyparker]

Oh hell, I just remembered we have another whole hour of this to go.

 Punishment for siding with Troy, during the shootout.

[candall]

Madison:  "I'm not going until I know you're okay, Nick."  [sticks arm in and struggles to reach comatose son's hair]

[minamurray78]

What is Ofelia upset about? I forgot.

Oh, okay.  If they really want to punish him, they should make him watch this show.

Lack of screen time.

[SoSueMe]

Hey, I have a T shirt just like that :)

[Glaze Crazy]

I was thinking this show had turned into a bad teen horror flick. Then realized that Alycia Debnam-Carey got herself into a movie in her spare time. LOL.

[laschifosavita]

I'd be so done if I had to take orders from teenagers just because they are main characters.

[raven]

Er, thanks Jake for not saying anything?  I guess?

Plus it looks like BLANDison is about to take her man.

[raven]

Oooh, Taqa giving a dog analogy. 

Shut up, Madison.  I don't think you get mother of the year.

[nodorothyparker]

If the history of this franchise is anything to go by, leaving the teenagers in charge means they'll have burned down the entire ranch long before the water mission ever makes it back

[minamurray78]

If only Madison's kids were as obedient as dogs...

Oh god, the rebel squad starts gathering.

These guys look up to NICK?? oh god.

[raven]

Why did they want to put Nick in charge?  He doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

[mightysparrow]

I can't believe these militia morons have adopted NICK as their new fearless leader!  NICK!!!

[nodorothyparker]

These guys woke Nick up to proclaim him their super sekrit leader?  I'm starting to understand how the Clarks so easily rolled over the ranch population 5 minutes after they got there.

[Glaze Crazy]

All these idiots are ready to follow Nick, now apparently the very reluctant leader of an uprising he didn't initiate and has no desire to be a part of in the first place.

Well, he did say the magic words, 'must have guns'.

[Glaze Crazy]

I think it was an attempt to get out of it since all the guns are supposed to be locked up. Except for all the ones they hid in the hay bales or something, apparently. Oops.

[raven]

OK, that little kid smacking the water out of Ofelia's hand was kind of funny.  Now be thirsty kid!!

[candall]

This is small and mean of me, but: 

Nick finally has a decent haircut--and now his hairline is receding.

[mightysparrow]

That little child of the corn is hardcore.  Maybe she should lead the militia.

[raven]

What good will one radio do?  Does that woman want to talk to Alicia too?

[laschifosavita]

Are we supposed to think that Nick accidentally became the leader of a rebellion of racists?  I don't understand what the show is doing with the whole racist thing.

[raven]

Hey look some dumbass traded a life sustaining commodity for a....tattoo. 

[Glaze Crazy]

Really? They left a water truck in a parking lot where a bunch of desperate people are collecting for survival stuff?

[raven]

I rather enjoy pissed off Ofelia better than the original model. 

[minamurray78]

Ofelia's attitude is grating me. Madison and husband took her and her parents into their house, etc. I don't know where this chip on her shoulder is coming from, but she can stuff it.

[calliope1975]

Madison could have told Alicia she wouldn't have the radio anymore before giving it up. Fail.

She found them siding with the people who abandoned her in the desert, then attacking the people who saved her. 

Plus, everyone's pissed off, LOL. 

[chick binewski]

OK so I just power-watched all 3 1/2 seasons of Halt and Catch Fire and I have questions: Why are they making Bos suck this season? Is Joe totally cheating on Cam with the Gold's Gym guy? And am I alone in wishing Donna do a FTWD crossover/time travel and get eaten by zombies?

Madison did try to contact her before giving up the radio, but Alicia did not answer. 

[Glaze Crazy]

I find Nick and Alicia more interesting due to the fact that they just move ahead and try to do some semblance of the right thing for the group(s) they're in. Despite their bat-shit mother, who is all over the place in her machinations and alliances. I think they are very aware of her failings after all their lives together before the ZA.

Sorry, cant't help you. The title of H&CF turned me off from the get-go, never had any desire to watch it. lol
