TV REVIEW: Fear the Walking Dead “Cobalt”

By Lewis Richards

Now we are really in thick of it.

Fear the Walking Dead's safe zone has become a prison and nobody is actually safe at all, as the survivors find out the details behind operation "Cobalt."

This week, we find the safe zone survivors still contemplating their options following the abduction of their respective family members. Madison and Travis debate on how they should approach the National Guard about the abductions, while Salazar decides to take the medieval route with torture. A lot of answers to a lot of questions now leaves us with a 'race against time' style rush to the finale.

Meanwhile, while the real world comes crashing down around the majority of the gang, off in an alternative reality, Alicia and Chris (*sigh*) the like minded juveniles that they are, find friendship (and maybe more?) in sulking and being edgy and moody. They dress up in strangers clothes from an abandoned house and then proceed to trash the place. Surely there is no hope for these guys?

Travis takes a fun filled ride along with the NG and eavesdrops on a dangerous mission to save their comrades from a hoard of Walkers. Despite the horrendous screams and gunfire heard through the radio, Travis manages to return home just in time to find Salazar mid-interrogation with his prisoner Private. Adams. Travis' conscience certainly takes a beating today after all he has witnessed.
