I'm mixed. I'll probably still be obligated to look at this since it's part of the WD universe, but damn does it feel like a chore to watch at times. The 2nd season was still a lot better though, and S3 might be worth it if we get more killer Travis or something.
I thought the experimentation part was a little reminiscent of Season 1 of the parent show. But it quickly deviated into the familiar "Join a group/adapt to it and watch it implode" arc that plagues some of the latter seasons of TWD. A lot of the characters that are interesting are split up, and a ton of their decisions are really stupid.

Daniel's episode was cool and probably one of the better character-centric episodes I've seen for a while now. The whole arc with the daughter is uninteresting, Strand just seems to be useless for the moment (Though I love his character), and the Native American thing just seems so out far out. Its definitely a cool thing to see and something the main show would never do, but it just seems really far-fetched. The show really is off on a good start though

Unless I missed something that makes him a monster, from his perspective his family traded for the land fair and square. Defending it doesn't make him the bad guy.
But lets turn a naunced story of two warring factions into "Kill the white racist."

You're very slow, so unsurprisingly some things seem to have gone over your head little man. Maybe when she left Ofelia to die because she was brown? Or when he killed the indian's father because he came looking to know what happened to his brother? Maybe how he abused his wife and children because he was too much of a weaksauce to put down the cup?
And after all those shitty things he commited, Jere didn't get killed because of that. He got killed because it was the only way it could be peace with the other group, but was too much of a coward to do it himself and preffered to see everyone else die with him.

Guess I'll chalk that up to karma, after blowing up in a comic book thread one time, but jesus.

The only thing you brought up that says he deserved what happened is "the indian's" (How very regressive of you, calling him an indian) father. One could argue self defense against a trespasser, but it sounds like he outright murdered the man...
Everything else just marks him as a shitty person, which doesn't mean he didn't have a right to his property, or wasn't justified in defending what's his. Even if it cost everyone else their lives (They could just leave, after all. He owes them nothing.)

Also like how turned out the vengeful Native American wasn't really the bad guy like he came off as in his first appearance.
