The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 2 Episode 5 Preview: Release Date, Time & Where To Watch
The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 2 Episode 5
The Walking Dead favourites, Maggie and Negan are finally back with a second season just revolving around them! Yep, years after their exit from the iconic zombie series, our complicated duo have returned with their hit spin-off show The Walking Dead: Dead City.
Season 2 looks into what Negan and Maggie have been up to following their split in Season 1. New Babylon plans to invade Manhattan and make it its new base. This has poor Perlie drafting soldiers to join an exploratory mission. And as expected, once they reach the Bricks, they face their biggest opposition yet from Maggie.
This puts her right in the warring path of the Burazis who are getting ready to take down New Babylon. Negan plays the twisted leader, promoting the ideals of the Dama and the Croat but it seems that not all is hunky dory. While he struggles to unite the different factions of Manhattan against New Babylon, it seems that the Dama has something on Negan.

A Family Matter by Claire Lynch review – powerful debut about lesbian mothers in the 80s
For a writer, the 1980s bear rich, dark fruit. The social and political turbulence of the decade provides the perfect landscape for Claire Lynch's dual-timeline debut novel A Family Matter, which alternates between 1982 and the present day. On the surface, it is the story of a father-daughter relationship. Heron – an elderly man deeply fond of rules and routine – has recently received a terminal cancer diagnosis, but rather than share it with his grownup daughter, Maggie, who now has a family of her own, he chooses to bear the burden alone. As we learn that Heron raised Maggie by himself, it's clear this urge to shield his only child from harm is a continuous theme. There is no mention of another parent, just that Heron was divorced many decades ago; it's only when Lynch takes us back to 1982 that we discover the true story. When Maggie was a toddler, her 23-year-old mother, Dawn, met another woman at a jumble sale. It was a chance encounter, and they clicked. Hazel, a newly qualified primary school teacher, had recently moved to the town, and Dawn was flustered by Hazel's obvious life experience, feeling that 'her mouth was full of all the things she would say if she wasn't too embarrassed to put herself into words'. Hazel is equally smitten, and as the intensity between the two women grows, it isn't long before their friendship develops into a romance. A secret romance to begin with, not just because Dawn is married to Heron and her life is dedicated to their beloved Maggie, but because 1980s provincial Britain was far more attached to the idea of a nuclear family than it was to the concept of true love. 'You wanted to collect the set, the wedding, the house, the baby?' Hazel asks. 'I didn't know you were allowed not to,' Dawn replies. Provincial secrets, however, have a habit of escaping, and inevitably Dawn must explain herself to Heron, because her sexuality was 'something she had always known, as deep and bright as bone'. A product of his environment, Heron's reaction is predictable. Tempers flare. Locks are changed. Solicitors are consulted. Both Dawn and Heron are swept along by a system clinging to the archaic belief that a child exposed to same-sex relationships will become damaged. In the custody court, Heron puts his trust in 'the men wearing cufflinks', while Dawn wonders 'what combination of arms and eyes and mouth will keep her from looking ashamed'. Present-day Maggie, now with her own (often less than perfect) nuclear family, has no knowledge of her parents' ancient battle. She just knows that Dawn left, and Heron stayed. However, when terminally ill Heron's attempts at Swedish death cleaning unearth long-forgotten court documents, Maggie must reframe being abandoned by her mother in the face of this newly found truth. From Zadie Smith's White Teeth to Douglas Stuart's Shuggie Bain, literature is peppered with compelling tales of homophobia and prejudice in the 1980s. It is a decade slowly edging closer to being classed as historical fiction, a soothing balm perhaps. However, in this small and powerful story, Lynch forces us to stare bigotry in the eye. She does this not only with smart and often heartbreaking observations of human behaviour, but also by weaving in difficult truths. Her author's note reveals that the brutal and savage words spoken during Maggie's custody hearing are taken from real-life court transcripts. At the time, almost all lesbian mothers involved in divorce cases like Dawn's lost legal custody of their children. One of the most important roles of a writer is to give a platform to those less often noticed. Not only does Lynch's novel lend a voice to the many thousands of people who were forced to remain silent, bound by the prejudice of 'different times', it shouts that injustice from its pages.

The Walking Dead: Dead City – Season 2 Episode 5 'The Bird Always Knows' Recap & Review
Episode 5 Episode 5 of The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 2 begins with the Croat trying on a fancy suit when some men cut the lights in one of the avenues. Perlie, Maggie and Hershel are making their way back to the park and worry about how to steal the methane supply with their dwindling numbers. Maggie recognises the Dama from Hershel's drawing and asks him. He deflects by asking about her conversation with Negan. Well, Negan is busy watching Dama fawn over her pet rat. She lashes out at Croat for the blackout and takes him out of the Christos meeting. She even mocks his new outfit and he sulks. Back in the park, Lucia has arrested the forager leader, Roksana, for not supporting their cause. She has Ginny oversee Perlie and Maggie's arrest for lying about Negan. Ginny complies as she is upset that Maggie didn't tell her about Negan. Lucia holds Hershel hostage as she has a job for Maggie. Maggie is to lead Negan and Croat into an ambush of the park walkers while the New Babylonians steal the methane. Perlie is locked up with Roksana and he begs her to join Lucia. He points out that she is replaceable but Roksana stands strong in her defiance. Meanwhile, Negan brings methane canisters as gifts for Christos who vehemently refuses to join the alliance. Negans spots several kids and finds common ground in what it is like to have one's family in danger. Christos is surprised but agrees to hear him out. Unfortunately, Croat barges in, having found Christos' knife near the cut wires. Christos tries to defend himself but he passes out. Turns out the methane canisters were open. The Burazi kill all the men in Christos' gang. Croat points out that he has left the women and children alive but Negan is upset. Next, Maggie sneaks back into the park and tries to rescue Perlie and Roksana. When he disapproves of her strategy of going against Lucia, she locks him back in. She finds Lucia sitting with Hershel. The officer wonders if Negan and Maggie are exes since they are so obsessed with each other. Hershel is disturbed but spots Maggie and plays along. Maggie one-ups Lucia but Ginny pops up and points a gun at Hershel. Maggie is forced to back down and Lucia arrests her. Perlie is upset and wishes he had stopped Maggie. Roksana tells him about the Road Not Taken story and adds a twist, that it's okay to have some help when venturing onto a new path. At the theatre, Negan sows discord by pointing out to the Croat that the Dama treats her rat better than him. Negan even covers for him but the Dama still blames the Croat for losing Christos' gang. He rambles his defence but Dama simply considers it a kid's tantrum. Negan looks smug. That night, the public executions of Roksana, Maggie and Perlie begin. Lucia is cruel as she hangs Roksana mid-speech. The foragers' cry attracts the park walkers. They let themselves be taken and Lucia starts killing them to shut them up. Ginny is bothered and helps Perlie escape. Maggie almost hangs but she escapes and goes after Lucia who has Hershel. But Walker Roksana kills Lucia. Maggie and Hershel make it back in and regroup with Ginny and Perlie. Ginny had been impaled by a branch but she keeps her wound hidden. Maggie asks Hershel about the Dama again and he reveals that she understood him. But he never wanted to hurt anyone and regrets the ferry deaths. They are interrupted by Bruegel and his men. It cuts to the rat being crushed to death. The Dama suspects the Croat and lashes out at him, she claims he is nothing without her. He has had enough and points out that the methane is all him. She is a queen with no real power. She bites him and in the scuffle, the chandelier falls on her. He tries to help but stops himself and runs off as she burns. At the end of The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 2 Episode 5, we see that it is Negan who killed the rat. The Episode Review The one flaw with The Walking Dead spin-offs starring the original cast is that they don't invest in ensembles. Not like the parent show or Fear The Walking Dead. It is very clear that the main leads are the original characters like Daryl and Carol, Rick and Michonne, Maggie and Negan. This means there is no actual danger to them, heavy plot armour and expected plot twists that will save our heroes right on time. Three of the supposed bad guys in Dead City Season 2 are killed before they can do any real damage. Governor Byrd doesn't even get her own death scene. And sure, we are not watching these spin-offs for the danger and excitement TWD used to provide, killing off main characters right in the middle of the season. Remember T-Dog? Yeah, good times. These spin-offs are mostly fan service and a quick cash grab. So, give us the fan service and drama. The TWD writers have three strengths that make their scripts stand out – community politics, creative walker action and character dynamics. Instead of putting Maggie constantly on the verge of death, this chapter literally hangs her for a second but we know she is in no danger, give us some more complex Maggie and Negan interactions. Elaborate on Hershel and Dama's weird relationship. Expand the New Babylon threat to Manhattan. TWDverse has a successful formula and the writers should rely on it. Like they say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Previous Episode Next Episode Expect A Full Season Write-Up When This Season Concludes!
