Fear The Walking Dead: S2 E12

Season 2 / Episode 12 / Pilar Of Salt: This episode was incredibly weak. Granted, it had a few powerful moments, but they were quick to fade away into boring side stories and overly dramatic scenes about nothing. The rogue family that has run off from Nick’s colony sparks a …

Fear The Walking Dead: s2e11
