Season two of The Walking Dead: Dead Metropolis has lastly come to an finish. With some new faces, greater stakes, and a few wild walker kills, this season has been a memorable addition to the universe of The Walking Dead. Let’s speak about what occurred on this surprisingly jam-packed season finale and what it means for the story going ahead.

The episode begins with a fast verify in on three characters in three very totally different conditions. Maggie awakens and realizes she was knocked out and tied up by the (very a lot alive) Dama whereas speaking to Hershel. Negan is on the church watching over a nonetheless unconscious Ginny and getting ready to not present mercy to Bruegel and his males. Armstrong is with Bruegel who’s getting ready to depart to fulfill with Negan and hopefully make a deal for the methane, solely Armstrong doesn’t belief him one bit.

We then get into the primary a part of the season finale, which follows two simultaneous tales that collide in a brutal trend. Negan and his males have a desk with a feast ready as Bruegel, Armstrong and his males arrive on the church. After they trade pretend pleasantries and Armstrong realizes that Negan is as much as one thing, the room is flooded with walkers and set on hearth to encompass Bruegel and his males. Negan watches on because the weaponless males try to fail to tackle the walkers, however solely till Armstrong ranges the enjoying discipline and will get their weapons. After a chase via the church, all of Bruegel’s males are killed and it comes down to only him and Armstrong. Cornered within the basement, we see the Negan that followers of the unique sequence know all too effectively.

Wielding Lucielle, the leather-based jacket sporting Negan walks slowly down the hallway and instructs Armstrong and Bruegel to get on their knees the place he begins his basic(ly traumatizing) sport of “Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Mo”. Close by, a horrified Maggie watches on as she relives her recollections of the evening the place Negan did this to her and her associates. Earlier within the episode, the Dama and Maggie lastly meet and speak about Negan. The Dama explains that if Maggie goes proper now and kills Negan, Hershel will come again to her, they usually can lastly be freed from Negan. After Hershel is available in and reiterates what the Dama mentioned, Maggie units off to the church.

Again to current time, Maggie watches on in horror as Negan kills Bruegel in a brutally violent means. Armstrong runs off in horror and Negan and his males comply with him. Proper as Negan is about to kill Armstrong, Maggie sneaks up on Negan and stabs him within the again. As Negan crawls in direction of the basement, Maggie picks up Lucielle and she or he and Armstrong slowly comply with Negan. Simply because it looks as if Maggie is about to take her revenge on Negan in the identical means that Negan killed Glenn and Abraham, all three of them come to the identical heartbreaking conclusion: Ginny died from her wounds and was now a walker in the identical cell that Negan left her earlier. This makes all three of them hand over their battle and a sobbing Negan places down Ginny. After Maggie goes and tells Hershel that she didn’t kill Negan, he and the Dama depart and the episode ends with Maggie, Negan and Armstrong watching the New Babylon forces march into the town as they resolve what comes subsequent.

We have now each a season finale and the season as a complete to debate, so let’s begin with the episode. General, I believed this was a terrific episode and it was one among my favorites of the sequence. The performances from the forged on this episode had been all highly effective and actually stood out from the remainder of the season. Jeffrey Dean Morgan went again to his roots with this episode and introduced again his full menacing efficiency that each delighted and horrified followers around the globe. However, this time he did so with an underlying sense of each reluctance and obligation to be the person he as soon as was. Kim Coates introduced his signature uncomfortable weirdness to this season and his loss of life was as fittingly bizarre and memorable as his character was.

So far as the season goes, I used to be pleasantly shocked with how a lot I loved it. Being one of many few followers of the prolonged The Walking Dead universe left, even I scratched my head a bit when all these spinoff exhibits had been introduced after the primary present ended. The primary season genuinely impressed me with its originality and refreshingly totally different look. This season, though there have been some low factors all through, continued to impress me and develop the world simply sufficient to make room for the battle of the season. I personally wasn’t an enormous fan of the villains, though the Croat ultimately grew on me by the point he was now not a villain. The supporting forged of character round Maggie and Negan had been all distinctive and had some depth to them. General, I might name this season a hit and from how they left it within the last moments of the season finale, we’re going to see a a lot totally different relationship between Maggie and Negan subsequent season.
