Wait, what? That’s it?!
Yep, that’s it. That was the end of season three of Fear the Walking Dead. Do not be alarmed: Your DVR did not cut out. The end was not just ambiguous, but a cliffhanger to end all cliffhangers. There’s a very good reason for it, too.
I suspect that many Fear the Walking Dead viewers, however, have been left stupefied, mouths agape. Scott Erickson delivered his last episode, and it was a doozy, leaving viewers scratching their heads, searching for answers. Did Nick somehow survive? Where’s Alicia? What about Strand? Is Daniel going to return next season with a gun-shot wound to his face?
The answer is: I don’t know. I have guesses, but I don’t know any more than anyone else. We can, however, at least provide some comfort in the form of tweets from other similarly flabbergasted Fear the Walking Dead fans who are ripping out their hair after that finale, dying to know the fate of so many of their favorite characters.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to “Sleigh Ride,” the third season finale to Fear the Walking Dead.
Jesus Christ! #FearTWD

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m more anxious and excited about the fourth season premiere of Fear the Walking Dead than I was the seventh season premiere of The Walking Dead after the fate of Negan’s victim was left in doubt for six months. The wait here may even be longer because it’s 9 more months until next June, the month that Fear kicked off this season.
