The first episode of the ending of Fear the Walking Dead brought a nice smile to my face, one I haven't experienced since Season 6. Now although the writers (Andrew Chambliss and Ian Goldberg) are two of the most god-awful television writers to ever exist, this episode quite impressed me, especially after the monstrosity that was Season 7 and Season 8A. Now yes, some of the dialogue itself isn't the greatest, the performances by Kim Dickens and Colman Domingo, are quite good, I would go as far as calling them good, just not quite great. Plus along with writing, it feels were clean compared to the first half of the season, this actually seems to be building somewhere rather than pushing too many stories into one arc and ending it in 6 episodes
Now another thing that stood out to me and still bothers me is the reuse of a scene from Season 6, now hardcore Walking Dead fans will only have noticed this but a scene from FTWD: 611 "The Holding" was reused for just a few seconds, and as much as people say, it's only a small iffy moment don't worry about it, it just goes to show the sloppiness of the shows creators.
