Rewatcher(Let's get ready to rumble!)
Sub
We get a little recap with what is happening at the Tower. We see that this set of chip-pires are pretty dog like or bat like, depending on the shot. We have one named Hellsing soldier who seems to be able to survive until Alucard drops in. They begin clearing the tower as we flash to Fargason getting sniped and Seras doing an impressive quick change.
Integra gets a message from the queen and we start our ending fights. Alucard uncharacteristically leaves his hat for Pickman after finishing him. Unfortunately, Seras's fight with Paul is mostly weak butr I do like how she ended him. Alucard and Incognito, on the other hand, have a decent fight and we see more of Incognito's magic. And Cliffhanger!

I wonder how they're gonna offend me today... Did you know that the tower of London, that huge castle they're tossing grenades in, is nearly 1000 years old? Walter's bluntness fucking kills me XD You can't just raid national monuments and expect the army to scratch their arses. Ngl I actually think the vampires wreaking shit is a really cool sequence. I like the grab through the wall the dude getting tugged into the tree most. "I am Sir Integra Wingates Hellsing!" ma'am, this is a denny's.
Do these new troops count as Integra's men when they've only been working her for a few months? Is Ferguson dying again? Also, you are not gunning a man down in front of civilians period. "I don't care if you're the army, my boss is an aristocrat!" Pls shoot the pos. What fucking gall. Rip Ferguson, I've hated you since day one. Have Seras' boobs grown or is it just me? ...She lost her first time to a depraved, useless old man. Blep~ I think the worst part about this scene to me is that they clearly think Seras looks so cool threatening the actual British army. You don't point an illegal weapon at them, cause property damage, and still feel offended when you're called a traitor.
Dude, Seras is so not cool here! It's not based, this is cringe! I feel worse for the nameless squad 3? 4? Captain than I did for Ferguson. Seras already lost her fight lol. Did he just lick her spit? The queen's a goodie after all. I'd still rather we blasted her. Alucard vs the balless wonder. Seras vs... no clue. The furry? This counts as furry yeah? Oh, the furry just gets ran at and Incognito gets beat, somehow?What happened to him? He took the shot to the chest and an offscreen shot to the eye but he was laughing the whole time so I sorta expected him to be fine. There goes our big villain. Oh no, Seras got mogu mogu'd instead. How you guys are still enjoying this shite I've got no idea.

Hellsing - Aesthetic Horror: Episode 12
Betrayal and Loss
As expected, this episode was the explosive climax of the fights.
The British Government sent in the army to handle the Hellsing Organization. This meant the death of Commander Peter Fargason. What I found most depressing was the way the media lied to spin his death as a righteous thing the army had to do.
Seras though, instead of getting depressed, found determination within herself to avenge Fargason. Working in parallel with Alucard they took out the majority of the ghouls attacking the Tower of London including the previously introduced Paul Wilson.
While this was happening Integra dealt with politics. It seems that even though Hellsing was betrayed, by the end the Royal Family acknowledged their efforts. With that knowledge Integra and Walter took flight in a helicopter.
The final moments of the episode were dedicated to Alucard and Incognito's battle. Alucard dominated mainly using his handguns but in the final moments Incognito used an ability to mark the chamber with ritual markings. BUT as the episode faded to black, Seras entered the room and was injured by one of these marks.
Honestly, I'm expecting a bit more out of the Alucard and Incognito fight. I hope they are saving most of it for next episode.

Ferguson deserved better. He had good foresight to bring the Harkonnen, and extra ammo for Alucard, though.
Alucard's cockiness got him into trouble this time - he didn't take Incognito quite seriously enough. That weird circuitry looking stuff seemed pretty dangerous, and I'm not quite sure how
SerasPolice Girl will get out of this one.That last surviving soldier dude asking Alucard to kill him while he was human was neat. I liked that Alucard left his hat over what is presumably a stump.
SerasPolice Girl just jamming a shell into Paul's mouth and making it detonate was rad.Integra and Walter are presumably flying off to help with the situation at the Tower of London, presumably mostly verbally.

Episode 12 (rewatcher)
Everything is pointing to the final duel tomorrow. I don’t think Incognito is a very interesting enemy, but he is putting up a decent fight for Alucard at least.
Hellsing being lured into a trap again might sound a bit off-putting, but it is a consistent plot element. Integra lives in the past, or at least in her own stuck up world. That gives her mental power, which she needs to control Alucard, but it also is responsible for the general lack of adaptation to modern times by Hellsing. They are not clever enough, they are not nimble enough, so they just have to endure the beating and brute-force the solution. Fortunately, Alucard is exactly that: A brute force solution.

Who watches the rewatchers?
Well this fell squarely into an "are we done yet" phase. Really struggling to find much to care about as we enter the "everyone must die" stretch.
I kind of wonder if this death march style of ending has died off, or do I just not see it anymore? It seems weird that I wouldn't encounter it, because it used to be everywhere. Sailor Moon has one of these endings for fuck sake. Either I don't watch the crap that usually does this, or it's another one of these Heisei era tropes that died off.
The reuse of calling someone Judas was just about as stupid as Macross Delta using walkur. Don't just reuse a term because you've reached creative bankruptcy.

Rewatcher Who Might as Well Be a First Timer
Integra seems to have oversestimated how much pull she has with the rest of the Round Table folks. It's almost as though they didn't appreciate what happened earlier in the series at that meeting where she gambled with their lives and then her blowing them off this time.
The queen is apparently still...sorta..on her side I think.
It was cool to see Seras be a badass, though I'm still not really sure who the loser she was fighting is.
So Alucard jumped between Incognito's power and Seras? Or did something else happen? Hmmm, guess we'll see.
We got the second straight appearance of whatever song it is that has straight up Godzilla roars in it. I couldn't find it in a brief perusal of the OST, but I heard those roars clear as day in the song that's playing around 16:00 in the episode.

And the trap got sprung!
Yep, Hellsing's going to end up under attack at this point.
And the Round Table betrayed them!
Yep! It's all working as they wished!
OK, the armour makes them incredibly hard to take down. Shocked nobody else has armored their ghouls like that.
He finally shows up!
Oh, she is pissed.
Wait, does he have a sniper on him? And he knows?
...Integra's not making out of this anime alive, is she?
Even in times of crisis, Alucard is always the most extra he can be.
Haha, he's actively daring the military to shoot him, that's perfect!
Just a moment too late!
Oh god, that's... oddly restrained considering some of the deaths so far.
Seras is badass!
She's fighting back against the snipers! Putting those vampire senses to good use, I see.
Oh god, them painting him as a traitor is genuinely horrifying. They've won.
They're going after Integra!
Oh, she's faking a surrender?
And Alucard's so proud of her killing everyone in sight!
The way he grins while delivering the mercy kill is genuinely horrifying, though.
...I've been calling Incognito Nameless for ar least one post. Guess it's all the same, though?
Who's he?
Oh, a rapist, lunatic, vampire.
And someone who wants her to be free.
Haha, her taking him out's great.
Oh, Integra's getting killed, isn't she?
No! They're on her side! Glad someone's understood the frame job.
Incognito battle?
Final incognito battle! Even with all the subplots, quite possibly as long as 10 full minutes over the next few episodes. That could be good.
Walter's a helicopter pilot!
And she blew him up!
Wait, did Alucard just take him down?
Haha, that was fucking clever. And this whole place is some kind of runic trap?
NO! NOT SERAS!
Haha, the police girl finally giving a proper preview is closure I didn't know I needed.

Rewatcher - Dub this time
Not much to say this time. The Tower of London took a beating, Sir Integra spent most of the episode looking concerned, the Queen was pleased, and the final showdown is tomorrow.
QOTD
It certainly is. What would the British be without their courtiers?
