TWD: Dead City Goes On a Bloody Killing Spree Halfway Through Season 2
The Walking Dead: Dead City is going to have to hang a 'Help Wanted' sign ahead of Season 3. Halfway through Season 2, the AMC drama killed off not one or two but three characters and forewarned us that a fourth wouldn't be around for much longer. Who went down for the count? First up was Animal Kingdom vet Jake Weary's Christos. Negan was thisclose to recruiting him and his gang to fight with the Burazi against the New Babylon Federation's would-be methane thieves when The Croat came in and mucked everything up. Blaming Christos for a substation outage, The Dama's lackey gassed the lot of 'em and bashed in their heads. More from TVLine MobLand Finale Recap: The Harrigan Rat, Revealed!

Your Friends & Neighbors Finale Reveals Who Killed Paul - Will You Come Back for Season 2? Not much of a guest arc for Weary, then, eh? Next in line, a power-mad Narvaez seized control of the Foragers' hideout and hanged Roksana when she refused to ally her people with the New Babylon Federation. Maggie was supposed to follow her into the noose, but she was saved at the last minute by Ginny, who felt bad about blabbing that Perlie hadn't killed Negan the way legend had it that he had. Or, for that matter at all. But wait, there was more. As walkers swarmed the real-life game of hangman, a reanimated Roksana feasted on Narvaez. And after all that, Maggie, Perlie & Co. found themselves at Bruegel's mercy. (Having seen how he treated Tony the Bodyguard, I think we can all agree that that is the last place anyone would ever want to be!) Now then, back to the killing. Egged on by Negan, The Croat confronted The Dama about her shoddy treatment of him. Later, all Negan had to do was squash The Dama's precious pet rat and let her think that The Croat had done it. Once again, the two of them argued, this time about which of them was nothing without the other. When all was said and done, a fire had broken out and The Croat had let The Dama burn. Finally, we saw that Ginny had been bitten while saving Maggie. In other words, the girl's days were numbered. So what do you think? Will she even try to kill Negan the next time she sees him? Will he reveal to her why he killed her father? And who will be left alive by the end of the season? Every Walking Dead Series, Ranked View List Hit the comments with your best guesses.

Was Destination X Too Confusing to Follow? Grade the NBC Competition Hosted by Jeffrey Dean Morgan
Though he's fought off zombies for years, Jeffrey Dean Morgan is now facing something even more frightening: a group of globe-trotting reality-TV contestants on NBC's Destination X. But did the series miss the mark? Let's recap. Tuesday's premiere takes us on a winding journey as the Walking Dead vet turns Europe into a real-life game board. Here's how it works: Each week, players will traverse the continent in a blacked-out bus with the goal of figuring out where they are. After competing in challenges at unique tourist attractions, contestants will head to the Map Room where they must guess their exact current location. The player with the guess farthest away from the bus' actual destination has to leave the game, and loses the chance to win $250,000. More from TVLine TWD: Dead City's Jeffrey Dean Morgan Does His Damnedest to Plug a Massive Plot Hole TWD: Dead City Stars Tease Season 2's Higher Stakes, Surprising Moral and… What?!? 'I Won't Be in Season 3' The Handmaid's Tale Brings Back [Spoiler] in Powerful Series Finale - How Did June's Story End? But for a casual viewer, the game can be confusing. To start, you'll see contestants donning high-tech goggles from time to time, but they aren't virtual reality headsets. The eyewear functions only as a fancy blindfold — there is no VR component in this game. Next, hints are not necessarily directly tied to the destination. For example, Episode 1 grants two contestants an exclusive clue: access to an outdoor theater. The players stand in front of the ruins, which viewers learn are the ruins of Volterra in Italy. But this place is not Destination X. We're told it sits 200 miles away from the actual location — which remains unknown to viewers. The only hint the clue offers is it looks Italian, but that offers no help in deducing the city — especially since the ruins aren't even located in Destination X anyway. The bus continues on a journey to its official location, stopping for a team challenge, where players solve riddles to collect hidden coins offering secret clues. Morgan says the challenge takes place in Orvieto and features nods to the city's cathedral, rich olive oil and St. Patrick's well — all of which are meant to serve as additional clues for Destination X. The group didn't pick up on the hints, but even if they had, how does identifying Orvieto help anyone deduce where the final location will be? Viewers are told Orvieto is still 90 miles away from Destination X. In the end, the team that loses the challenge must enter the Map Room, risking elimination. After all the guesses are in, it's Big Brother vet Josh Martinez who places his guess farthest from the location, placing his 'X' on Milan. On his way out, we finally learn this week's official Destination X: Rome. (Though the group had spent no actual time there.) Apparently, the prior challenge's coins had featured clues hinting at the city's gladiators and the Vatican's Swiss Guard. What did you think of s debut? Will you stay along for the ride, or are you ending your trip early? Vote in the polls below and hit the comments with your thoughts!

The Walking Dead: Dead City – Season 2 Episode 3 'Why Did the Mainlanders Cross the River?' Recap & Review
Episode 3 Episode 3 of The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 2 begins with a flashback to when Hershel is a captive. The Dama apologises to him for the torture. She gives him food, her own coat and even paper to draw on. At present, the New Babylon survivors enter no man's land aka Central Park. Hershel is surprised as he notices a walker with no heart. A stranger watches him from afar. Maggie wants to regroup and go back to the mainland but Lucia refuses. She plans to kill some of the Burazis, make some alliances and get the methane. They start crossing Central Park which has turned into a reedy field, full of walkers. Maggie panics as Hershel goes missing. He is surrounded by walkers but the stranger, a girl, saves him. The Burazis spot them and set up a perimeter around Central Park. While they wait outside, the Croat offers Negan an olive branch. He knows Negan draws the line at hurting kids. So, instead of Negan, he will kill the kid from the boat… As for Negan, he tries to sow discord between Croat and Dama. The Croat accepts that the Dama is cruel but claims she does it to bring out their potential. She also happened to be the one to save him. He claims he is doing the same thing to bring back the old Negan. Not getting anywhere, Negan offers to hunt down the survivors in the park. The Croat agrees but sends a Burazi, Waylen, with him. Inside, the survivors, minus Hershel, regroup at Cafe Lake which has its own survivors, a tribe of foragers. The leader doesn't like the racket they are making but allows them to stay till they can escape. She even sends her people to look for Hershel. Perlie tries to strike an alliance but she refuses. Maggie tells Perlie to back off and points out that New Babylon doesn't benefit anyone except New Babylon. Meanwhile, Hershel draws a map to figure out his location. The paper he uses has a drawing of a futuristic Manhattan. A flashback shows him drawing a dilapidated New York City and the Dama asks how he feels about it. He doesn't care about the old look and likes the way the city looks at present. Dama can relate. She brings up Negan but Hershel doesn't care. He is tired of his mom's obsession with Negan. This, too, the Dama sympathises with. She claims that Maggie isn't there for him, but she is. When she leaves, she doesn't lock the door. At present, Waylen doesn't trust Negan and calls him a mainlander. Bad move as a bunch of walkers attack. Negan lets them bite Waylen who calls him a traitor. Back in the cafe, Lucia tells Perlie that Maggie only cares about her family. They have to think about everyone. She insists that they have to convince the Foragers to join New Babylon for their sake. Meanwhile, the strange girl, who is a forager, approaches Hershel. She is fascinated by his drawing and he befriends her. However, a heavily injured Waylen shows up and stabs the girl. Negan saves the kids by killing Waylen. Confused, Hershel tries to shoot him but Negan runs off. Maggie hears the gunshot while looking for Hershel. She also sees a walker with no heart. Fortunately, the gunshot allows her and the foragers to find Hershel and the girl. As they arrive at the cafe, he notices blood splatter on the drawing. Another flashback shows him trying to escape. A bunch of walkers attack and the Dama saves him. She takes him to an elevator room full of dark and gory art. She claims the room is for him and takes the lift to the top floor. She points to the view and explains that the island is an empty canvas. She can give him the power and he can remake it however he wants. He starts making his drawing of a futuristic Manhattan which is inspired by the view. At present, Perlie offers medicines for the injured girl but the foragers refuse, opting for natural healing. The leader explains that they will continue the way they have, like nature intended. Lucia tries to take over since they are distracted but Perlie stops her. Hershel and Maggie fight as she bombards him with questions about Negan. He lashes out when she is surprised by his apathy. He reasons that he doesn't care about Negan because she cares too much. Instead, he focuses on the injured girl and gives her the drawing as comfort. The foragers loudly grieve as the leader kills her to put her out of her misery. Perlie and Maggie are emotional seeing how the foragers mourn the girl. They take out her heart and give it to the walkers, suggesting a symbiotic relationship where they feed the walkers, who leave them alone and provide security from the Burazis. The dead girl turns into a walker and joins the park horde. Meanwhile, Negan tells the Croat that there are no survivors. Waylen's death was an accident and the park is a death trap. Croat lets it go and calls off the search. At the end of The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 2 Episode 3, Maggie sits with Hershel. She wants to understand his connection to Manhattan and he explains how it is broken and ignored. But since the dilapidation is over, it can reinvent itself. He likes the idea since he is constantly reminded of the past. He cannot get it back, so he simply wants to move on and reinvent himself. In a flashback, Dama shares that to remake the city, they have to make sacrifices. She gives Hershel a new pencil for his drawing and they smile. The Episode Review The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 2 Episode 3 is a bit of a mixed bag. The stakes don't feel high for the moment. Especially with the way the survivors easily escape the Park Walkers. The main protagonists also have way too much plot armour for there to be any real stakes. And because of that, the show needs to take another route where, instead of putting them in mortal danger, they focus on emotional drama. And that's where this episode shines, the human affairs. Hershel's existential crisis is finally revealed and so is his connection with Dama, why he is enraptured by her. As a teenage boy with an absent mother, he gets the next best thing with a motherly figure promising him power. Then there is Negan's characterization which is very likely the biggest conflict as the writers need to resolve it to give him a justified closure. In this chapter, Croat talks about bringing back the old Negan. With Waylen, it shows that there are no two Negans. While this spin-off may have shown how Negan's cruelty is performative, some of it is also just him. He is cruel because he is selfish; he lets one person die so he can save another. He also does it because Waylen is a threat to him. Sounds just like the many members of Rick's group. Previous Episode Next Episode Expect A Full Season Write-Up When This Season Concludes!

TWD: Dead City Makes Its First Painful Kill Two Episodes Into Season 2
Much of the action in Sunday's episode of The Walking Dead: Dead City concerned Governor Byrd, Perlie and even Hershel's refusal to listen to sensible Maggie. Hence, the ferry that the New Babylon Federation took into NYC was sunk with methane-filled walkers for cannonballs, and Hershel followed his mom and Ginny straight into harm's way. But the real heart of 'Another S—ty Lesson' lay with Victor, the violinist who had become Negan's confidant over the last year. As the Saviors' former leader was ordering walkerballs shot at the ferry, The Croat noticed him pause. We knew that this was because Negan had spotted Hershel getting into a life raft; the reformed baddie had wanted to give Glenn's son a chance to escape. Unfortunately, The Croat, being a complete and total tattletale, blabbed to The Dama that Negan had hesitated. To loosen his lips and ascertain why, she had Victor brought in and let him play some Bach before brutally slitting his throat.

Series Boss Says 'There's Much More to That Story to Unpack' as He Lays Out Season 3 Plans Negan was aghast: his only friend, dead. Even The Croat seemed kinda sad. Negan insisted to The Dama that he'd only seen a kid, a random kid, that was why he'd paused. But she was as unlikely to believe that as Ginny was not to do something stupid with the gun that we glimpsed in her possession in the last moments of the hour. Sometimes you don't even need to be wearing your glasses to see it coming a mile away. Me, I liked Victor. He seemed soulful and sweet, and brought out a different side in Negan, so I was sorry to see him dispatched so quickly. (Hell, I only just learned his name in this episode!) What about you?
