They’ve been on different paths for some time now. The idea of abandonment factors heavily into Dwight and Sherry’s storyline, too. In retrospect, it’s easier to understand that so much of the younger John’s life was shaped by abandonment. That Morgan would give voice to such bitter disappointment is more than a tacit acknowledgement that this narrative choice fell quite flat at the time. Honestly, I’m glad Fear has finally addressed June’s choice to stay at Lawton. To his mind, had she been at his settlement instead of Lawton, Grace’s baby might have survived. So, yes, Morgan (Lennie James) has more than a few reasons for being upset with June.
Already tortured by his own mistakes, John must grapple with this new heartbreak as he departs alone for his cabin.
The biggest what if is the one that most of us have probably been asking ourselves since “Bury Her Next to Jasper’s Leg.” If you’ll recall, this is the episode in which June decides to work at Lawton’s new hospital rather than leave with John as she originally promised. isn’t the only one with something to prove in “J.D.” Indeed, we quickly learn that June (Jenna Elfman) has been punishing herself with a series of what ifs that can never bring her husband back from the grave. And if that means introducing his old curmudgeon of a father, so be it.īut John Dorie, Sr. But viewed through the lens of a character that has hovered over so much of this season like a specter, the show itself has the chance to redeem itself for killing John to advance the plot. This is not new ground for the show, of course. It’s also a perfect opportunity for Fear to examine the theme of redemption. Just as John Glover seemed born to play doomsday cult leader Teddy Maddox, Carradine is likewise an ingenious casting choice for breathing life into the elder John Dorie. I’m talking of course about Keith Carradine, who this week steps into the role of a person who’s loomed large, not only in John’s life, but in Fear’s sixth season, too. And while no one can ably fill the Garret Dillahunt-shaped void left by John’s passing, “J.D.” steps up in a big way to make amends for our loss. Not only did John’s life positively impact his friends, his death has also made a profound impact on those he’s left behind. We know just the opposite to be true, of course. Like when Fear killed off John Dorie earlier this season in the “The Door.” This heartbreaking episode was all the more tragic because John died feeling like he didn’t make enough of a difference.
This allows more room for genuine, unfiltered reactions to plot twists and character deaths. I don’t know about any of you, but I avoid all spoilers so I can go into every episode of Fear the Walking Dead (or any show, for that matter) with a fresh and open mind.
