The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season Finale preview: Non-spoiler thoughts for “Coming Home”
By Shay McBryde
How have we already gotten to the season 1 finale of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon? Time really does fly when you are having fun, but we made it.
Hold onto your hats because there is much more story to be told before the curtain closes. In my opinion, episode 5 was stellar but episode 6 hit all the high notes for me.
And how it ends is what sets it apart from the previous episode. You will see the riveting action scenes and the Daryl we know and love.
Just when you think all the odds are stacked against him, he shines in a way that makes even French strangers cheer him on. The finale starts out with an obscure scene that the audience will comprehend in the closing minutes of the show.
We see a side of Daryl Dixon’s history we’ve never seen before. It’s both a revelation for the hero and also heartbreaking to watch Daryl deal with a past he tried to bury a long time ago.
This episode really symbolizes the sins of a father and Daryl goes through many obstacles to not become the man he was always expected to be.
How will Daryl Dixon get out of yet another hostage situation?
If there is one thing you can count on from this finale, it’s the intensely awe-inspiring action that will have you on the edge of your seats. For a moment you will become scared for Daryl’s fate, along with Isabelle and Laurent (of course if we didn’t already know there would be a season 2), and the care they have for him really shines through in these diligent scenes.
The Cause has no leeway when it comes Daryl and Laurent. Protecting either seems to be a death wish in France.
It is your typical David and Goliath plot line and the cage battle that Daryl finds himself in is one of the most entertaining scenes I’ve seen come out of The Walking Dead franchise. “Coming Home” has just about everything you’d want in a finale that will keep you from being discontent.
Superior action, miraculous acting, heightened emotions to heartbreaking ventures. Dangerous endeavors, emotions of guilt and moments of tranquility after chaos to kept promises.
Season 1 episode 6 will have you wanting more and praying that season 2 comes quickly! The final minutes of the finale will shake the fandom to its core in a fantastically astounding way.
Buckle up because The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon is going surprise you in an unimaginable way and make you look forward to the future that the fans deserve! To get you pumped up for the season 1 finale of TWD: Daryl Dixon, here is a masterclass of cinematography to look forward to:
Season 1 episode 6 of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon: “Coming Home” premieres this Sunday, October 15 on AMC and AMC Plus. It is written by Laura Snow and Jason Richman and directed by the great Daniel Percival.
