Fear The Walking Dead S2E12 - "Pillar of Salt" Review

As "Fear The Walking Dead" hits the midway point of season 2B, things that were once broken seem to be finding their way back together. For the first time since the show began, we saw the core group of characters split apart. Madison's single-minded focus on potentially getting Nick back has done some serious damage to her relationship with Alicia and both actresses executed potent emotionality in the argument. The blossoming relationship between Nick and Luciana has us weary, as we are highly suspicious that the writers will kill her off to fuel his greasy-haired middle-class-angst, a tired old trope we're tired of seeing. But we'll refrain from kicking off fully until such offensive material comes to fruition. More than anything, the writers need to delve deeper into the material for Cliff Curtis, as they've only barely scratched the surface of his struggles trying to maintain a handle on the instability of his son's behaviour.

Fear The Walking Dead airs on Sundays on AMC at 9PM.
