Watch the DAVE REACTS to Fear The Walking Dad's Midseason Finale, The Walking Dead: World Beyond's Series Finale, and Talking Dead announcing Madison Clark's return:
Taking some time to process these last few episodes.
Backtracking on the story, thus far, to place certain events in the timeline.
So Arno is stripping the dead so Alicia Clark can’t find Walker Senator Elias Vazquez? When did he splinter off and why? Is Arno too pretty to die?
June Dorie and John Dorie, Sr were residing in Strand's Tower well after Will's yeeting.
To understand Alicia's behavior, Dave compares it to a D.N.R. (Do Not Resuscitate). Sherrandy points out how little she's slept.
It's not just the possibility that walkers might contain echoes of who they once were that reminds Alicia of what the world once was.
Morgan Jones's remorse over seeing Alicia’s arm.
Is Alicia's story, this episode, resemble Morgan Jones' story? Alicia needs the Senator Walker to mean something
Why Victor Strand isn't that bad and, in some ways, Morgan is to blame for what's happened.
But why is Alicia so mad at Strand? Oh yeah, remembering everything he's done in all seasons, but specifically Season 6.
Walker Will's back looking like an accordion: but does he remember Alicia?
"We’re going to War!"
Regardless of what it it actually was, Strand yeeted what might've been between Will and Alicia.
Gus Halper (who plays Will) personally attacks Sherrandy when he says Padre Island would've been "too obvious" a location for P.A.D.R.E.

Screen-grabbing as Alicia thumbs through the PADRE docs, dates/events described and surrounding The Munich Massacre emerge: September 14, 1972.
On the subject of dates: TWD World Beyond's post-credits scene and the early 2000s dates on Project Votus documents; Why are they watching Jenner? Is the Munich Massacre mention relevant?
What purpose does Arno's naked walkers (in lettered pens, spreading them out across the landscape) serve?
We might be crazy, but it seems like there's a lot of evidence that either Strand or Arno sent Dirty Bomb Walkers after Morgan.
Strand's comically clear shot of Morgan: how did he miss?!
Look ahead teaser into the rest of Season 7: Rabbi Jacob Kessner looking like one of the Knights Who Say Ni (Monty Python and the Holy Grail) in a screengrab.

Mickey (Aisha Tyler's character) is not feeling Alicia's methods of finding PADRE (to put it mildly).
Concern over Alicia’s mental state, but also concerned about the future of her character.
Apropos signage plastered all over the bunker.
Alicia’s 28 people vs. Strand’s 200+; What winning might look like for Alicia; How Strand convinces his particular variety of people to fight for him.
Lines are being drawn between all our beloved characters due to Alicia's & Strand's personal beef.
Alicia's current state reminds us of all the idiots that wish for Clear Morgan's return.
Deconstructing the state of FearTWD's storytelling, thus far, and why it must change.
Will represents us and how we would truly be afraid of going "up there"; "Weak" people not only remind us of our humanity, but are a necessary element in telling The Walking Dead Universe's story, moving forward.
