In fact, longtime Dead fans might’ve had more beef with “Last Day on Earth,” if only because of how awkwardly it lurched ahead from the show’s most recent chapters. It’s as though Negan’s letting them know: They can take a sip of poison, or they take a gulp … but damnit, they’re not going thirsty. They drive down one road, and run into half-dozen Saviors. Rick, Abe, Sasha, Eugene, Carl, and Aaron pile into the RV to get a fevered, cramping Maggie up to the Hilltop before she loses her baby.
#Walking dead finale series
In the Season Six finale - ominously titled “Last Day on Earth” - our heroes get to ask themselves that question repeatedly, but they find it harder and harder to answer, thanks to a series of escalating standoffs. So why should they roll over for anybody? But Rick’s gang has guns too - lots of them - and they aren’t skittish about killing. Every other little enclave of humanity in Zombieworld has been letting Negan‘s bunch push them around, because The Saviors are brutish, fearless, and well-armed. In addition to the inflammatory headline, the subheading reads, "Milton's adult son used innocents in deathly money grab." It's unclear whether or not Pamela knows that Max is involved with the article, but now, the ball is rolling, and she's helpless to stop it.Sometimes it’s been hard to make sense of Rick Grimes‘ survival strategy, but when it comes to dealing with the greedy bullies known as “The Saviors,” his plan’s been pretty plain. "Acts of God" ends with Pamela storming into her office and slamming a newspaper onto Max's desk. Magna (Nadia Hilker), Ezekiel (Khary Payton), and a network of others are eager to help spread the truth to the blissfully oblivious people of the Commonwealth. The glimmers of resistance within the seemingly impenetrable social system also come forward as people quietly rally behind their cause. Kelly points out that this alone will convince people to begin "(questioning) everything about this place" and cast doubt on Pamela's leadership. However, they have more than enough to publish a story about Sebastian's antics. She insists that it's too soon to run with the story about Tyler, April (Wynn Everett), and countless others disappearing. However, Kang said that they wanted to include an "atmospheric element" to distort their perceptions of the future. It's unlikely that Part 3 of Season 11 will continue down this path, à la water turning to blood and characters breaking out with boils.

Their presence references the biblical tale of the 10 Plagues of Egypt, in which God inflicts various disasters on Egypt to free the enslaved Israelites. Father Gabriel (Seth Gilliam) is curiously the only religious character to not comment on the ominous appearance of the locusts. Later, former Reaper-slash-religious fanatic Leah Shaw (Lynn Collins) chuckles in disbelief as she looks up at the locusts.

Negan Smith (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), now a member of the religious Riverbend community, calls the buzzing bugs a "sign from the Man upstairs."


As everyone struggles to figure out what's next, a slowly growing swarm of locusts descends around them. The biblical theme of the episode further plays into Season 11 Part 2's overarching themes of luck and fate.
