She’s also at war with the remaining guests, who want her punished for what she did at the wedding, even though it seems like Elena is punishing herself plenty. With her cousin Hector, Elena is trying to maintain some semblance of order and is failing miserably. Elena is clinging to an old role, the person in charge of the hotel, when she needs to abandon that and find what she has to do now that one’s profession and loyalty to an employer has been rendered obsolete. Her justification was that she needed to contain the situation. ![]() At the top of the show we learn that, when a zombie shows up at the wedding being held in the hotel when the plague hit, she locked all the guests in the room with it. God, Chris is the absolute worst.Įlena, the insane hotel event planner, might also be the worst. They might be having some sway over him, but there is something that is broken inside of Chris, something that came loose after the death of his mother, that Travis not only hates but also can’t seem to fix. Regardless of the negative influence of the bros, it is Chris who kills the farmer when he tries to kick them out of the barn. Chris is right, that the two of them need a group to stay alive, but Travis is also right that attaching themselves to the junior varsity wrestling team probably isn’t a smart idea. Isn’t this what every teenager goes through when he has to pull away from his parents? The difference here is that the world has ended. When they find a farm that seems like a good place for Travis and Chris to settle down, Chris would rather chase chickens in the barn with his new friends. Chris, desperate for the validation of men and dying to hang out with some people his own age, falls right into their clique. Something about their eagerness to take on these two strangers seemed false to me, like there was some kind of game they were playing. ![]() Well, that didn’t happen, but it seemed like it could.īrandon, Derrick and Baby James were awful from the minute they rolled up to Travis and Chris at the campsite and, even though they seemed up to no good, Chris definitely wanted to trust them. Then they talked about how much they love rape culture and wish that they could still log on to a men’s rights forum on Reddit. Then one of them explained that they call the zombies the “wasted” because they look drunk, like it’s an eternal spring break. ![]() One of them even delivered the above quote when they were traveling in the pickup truck, which is entirely awful. We don’t know for a fact that they are frat boys, but these are the most bro-y bros to ever play lacrosse. The problem, of course, is the Sigma Alpha Epsilon brothers they meet on the road. Chris, however, seemed to not want any part of that even from the outset. When they were having their little father-son campfire chat, Travis wanted to find a house where the two of them could settle down and start a life together, just the two of them. They had a nice moment where he taught him to drive on the empty highway and Chris even avoided gunning it and running over the sole walker ambling down the shoulder, which would have been the immature thing to do. For a while, Travis thought he could get through to Chris after the traumatic death of his mother in the season one finale.
