Alicia's Fever Fake-Out Is Worse Than Walking Dead's Glenn Controversy
The Walking Dead caused great controversy with its Glenn death fake-out, but Alicia's Fear The Walking Dead fever storyline might've just topped it. Character deaths and controversy are natural bedfellows, and The Walking Dead found itself in a spot of post-apocalyptic bother with season 6's «Thank You.» Steven Yeun's popular Glenn Rhee got caught in the middle of an undead herd, and as the zombies descended upon his prone body, death looked unavoidable. Four episodes later, we learn Glenn was protected by his companion's corpse and managed to slide safely under a dumpster. Reaction to the fake-out was broadly negative, and the scene has been cited as a contributing factor toward The Walking Dead's viewership decline.
