Him crossing over. Doesn't mean we need a time machine. He'll probably just wander down in that direction during the first few seasons of the main show when we didn't see him. Or, less likely, FtWD will have an extreme flash-forward and come across Morgan after he's left the group yet again for some reason. Really, story-wise, he doesn't need to leave the main show, that's more just to give him a break instead of two full schedules.
shareThat's a very "minor" crossover. When I heard of this "crossover" and "worlds collide" I assume it would be more characters involved, like the the whole show. But it seems it's FTWD meets Morgan...
shareOkay, there are multiple problems for dropping the reveal that Lennie James is involved, and picking him in general.
First, they show a picture of him with three of the four main cast members whose fates were left up in the air at the end of Season 3 of Fear. We were supposed to get the reveal of their fates by the premiere. So, the wait to see who will make it has been proven to be completely pointless, unless someone is really striving for Daniel to make it. (Seriously, though, like Daryl Dixon in Season 3, Daniel has nothing left for his character to do now, so if he dies, I'd be fine. If he doesn't, then they're really stretching his character out for no reason.)
Second, dropping the ball that Lennie would be in Fear before they conclude his character's arc on the main show takes away the eventual surprise when his character either dies or when he decides to go away and do his own thing. If he is going to die, there's no longer any suspense on whether or not if he will die or not. And if he does go away to do his own thing, then the time dedicated to him from Seasons 5 to now are pointless. So, he showed back up in Season 5 and 6, only to just cram "all life is precious" down people's throats, then give up on that shit in Season 7 and 8 to be all about killing the enemy, and then leave again.
Third, picking Morgan in general doesn't make any sense, story wise between Fear or TWD, and screws up the already screwed up timeline even more. If Morgan dies in TWD, and appears in Fear, then his character being in Season 4 serves no purpose other than to entice viewers to watch Fear. And there is no purpose if they go that route, because his character arc will have been completed already. The thing that made Fear somewhat bearable than TWD was the fact it wasn't bound by another source material to follow on, meaning any character can go or do whatever at any given moment. Now, we would know nothing bad is going to happen to Morgan because we know he dies later.
Any suspenseful moments they try to use with Morgan would just be pointless because he's literally wearing plot armor. Unless it turns out Fear does a time-jump to catch up to TWD timeline is currently now. But even then, that takes away the charm that Fear had, and by doing that, Fear will wind up being the origin story of either a new group of survivors or a new group of villains. A lot of people had been suspecting the Whisperers, and I'm going to have to agree on that.
shareYeah, it's been speculated that Madison will become "Alpha" of the Whisperers.
