'Fear The Walking Dead' Season 6 Episode 7: Strand 'flip-flops' again, fans say he has a stupid plan that will backfire

'Strand is on Strand's side.....maybe. Who knows, it's hard to tell since the show flip flops on characters personality and motivations all the time,' said a fan

Strand (Colman Domingo) has been swinging from side to side for the past few episodes. In the second episode of the sixth season, he proved that he was all about survival, and even sacrificed an innocent man to a Walker. He has been currying favor with Virginia for a long time now and had even turned on his own friend John. Fans aren't entirely pleased with his new color of cowardice in the latest episode, or what really seems like cowardice. He pledges allegiance to Virginia, who has got a very pregnant Grace (Karen David) in her custody. She plans to use Grace as bait for Morgan, and demands Strand to 'get all of them'. 

So, is Strand has really switched sides for good? "I really hope Strand is lying. I’m starting to lose faith in him @colmandomingo #FearTWD," a fan tweeted. "Strand is on Strand's side.....maybe. Who knows, it's hard to tell since the show flip flops on characters personality and motivations all the time. #FearTWD," a fan wrote. "I'm so damn frustrated with fuckin Strand swinging side to side I HATE STRAND MORE THAN NEVER AND I HATE IT HERE  #FearTWD #TheWalkingDead@FearTWD @TheWalkingDead," a fan tweeted. "Strand stupid plan which no one knows about will,backfire and get ppl killed #FearTWD," another wrote. 

In an interview to Insider, Ian Goldberg explained Strand's intentions. "Strand has been talking about doing damage from the inside since at the end of season five. That's what the title of this episode is all about. It's why he separated himself from Alicia at the end of Season 6 Episode 2. It's ultimately also why he killed Sanjay in that episode because he needed to curry favor with Virginia.I think the constant tightrope that Strand is walking is while he's doing this damage from the inside, is he destroying his relationships with the people he cares about the most and is he going down a path he can't walk back from? So that's the really fascinating thing about Strand this season."

'Fear The Walking Dead' airs Sundays at 9 pm AMC and will return in 2021.
