Fear The Walking Dead: 10 Questions We’re Asking After 'So Close, Yet So Far'

Fear The Walking Dead is picking up some momentum, and after a drawn-out Pilot, the second episode impressed with a more condensed look at the swift fall of civilisation. So Close, Yet So Far felt a lot more natural with a regular run-time, and moved the story along considerably with Travis becoming separated from Maddie and the family on a mission to recover his own son. He's now trapped down in a local barber shop with a new family, as LA protests over police shootings descend into anarchy. Maddie ventured out to the school with the 'in the know' Tobias where they encountered a zombified Art, the school principal. Maddie opts for a fire extinguisher to save Tobias from a messy end, as the scope of the situation hits her. Meanwhile Nick is struggling to cope with a clean lifestyle, forcing Alicia to stay at home, potentially saving her life in the process. The pace is creeping up, and the threat is growing, but the best part about Fear The Walking Dead is that it is bold enough to take things slowly. A lot of the criticism aimed at the show has centred around it simply not containing enough blood, guts, and zombies. If that's what you're after, some old episodes of TWD will be available online for you to enjoy. Fear has set out to be different, and it's succeeding. The stages of disintegration in society are being played through, and each episode will seemingly delve deeper into the chaos. Here are 10 questions that have been raised by Fear The Walking Dead's solid second episode.
