Somewhere to avoid
Good episode. We finally got a feel for Ground Zero, which I've been waiting for.
aaarg so short... but so good!
I was starting to think she's preggers
WHICH is not a bad guess, it probably made her more sensitive to the "air" near Ground Zero
So now the any vomit like symptoms mean preggers? :DQuote:

Good episode, definitely a set up for the next chapter.
man.....good episode....I see KC working as a zombie-Beethoven building up to a grande crescendo.........going to the hospital should be an interesting set of episodes
Good episode. Definitely setting us up for a huge finale!
There's so many different events happening. I just can't wait to find out! I think this chopper is definitely going to be used. It's getting fixed up, and Pegs elaborately described the interior layout for our minds.
THEORIES
* My belief is that ultimately, both of the choppers mentioned in this episode will be used (One team lead by Michael & One by Angel). However, one will crash, leaving the fate of that team unknown!
* Ground zero is harboring something BIG & BAD! Bad enough to sicken people who go near it! It may be chemicals in the air from a detonated bio-weapon making them sick...
OR pheromones emitted from a master, or "queen" zombie. Guess only time will tell!
I love this Idea rockdaddy......but lets think....isnt Englewood a crappy place? I'm from England/East Coast USA so maybe not as bad as rappers make it seem...I am guessing there was a secret research lab maybe amongst the crap?Quote:

Sounds like the tower is going to get into a battle with the Mallers. Saul and Lizzy trying to get to each other but getting bogged down by Mallers and zombies. Then the tower comes in with the chopper, and airlifts them and the hummer out (the type of helio they're using can do that).
I like this idea too. It kind of goes in line with what was mentioned on WND 17; you can have Kalani's chopper loaded up with all these nameless characters and then it crashes and everyone on it is dead. While Peggs chopper has Michael, Angel, Datu, Saul, Lizzie, etc.Quote:

I'm excited to see what this excursion to the Hospital will be like. The Hospital was always my favorite level in Left-4-Dead. Awesomeness.
They said it didn't have to do with the air at ground zero.
Would severe radiation make it hard to breath like that? Or, possibly a severe magnetic field?
Something interesting: Females are more sensitive to the Ground Zero....uh....issue. Pegs felt it first, Victor only felt it well after she felt sick. If you want to believe Lizzy suffered the same issue (and isn't preggers) note that Bricks and Tardust didn't get the same reaction. But then again Scratch didn't feel sick either so....
Great episode!
It didn't answer any of the questions we've been focusing on, but that's just makes for the wonderful frustration any great show builds. Always leave us wanting more right?
I like that we're getting back to the questions about the zombies. First Tanya was talking about running more experiments and now we ground zero coming back into focus.
I seriously think the season finale is going to involve a mad dash to Fort Irwin and then end with the discovery that someone, most likely someone with knowledge of what caused the outbreak, is already there.
arrghh! supershort episode!
but i found this piccy for the chopper fans! :D

I have to say that I was thinking that she was preggers too... which made me think back to KC's comment about how he might have plans for a spin off wich then got me thinking about a "Children of The Tower" kind of series... but alas it was just ground zero (or maybe Victor is really Victoria and she's preggers too!! <cue suspensful music. LOL)Quote:

P.S. Hospitals are creepy, SO glad they're going there!
I agree on both points. Saul has been my favorite character throughout the entire story. He has a good morale compass, a good sense of humor, and is very loyal. I am glad he's finally riding off in search of Lizzie. I do fear that he may make the mistake of instantly killing any Mallers he sees around Lizzy. Tardust may end up a victim.Quote:

As long as Bricks hangs around for a while I will be happy
I'm gonna troll you saul fans and have some fun. Saul is so dumb. Oh you're gonna go get in your car and run off and find lizzie? good luck, LA is one of the biggest cities in the world. You just got up and running after being bed ridden and half dead for the last month and now you're heavily medicated and running around abandoned LA trying to find one person oh and dont forget ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE you're stupid saul. oh and dumb.
don't go trolling if you can't handle people saying Angel is an idiot....you're inviting disaster upon yourself.Quote:

Oh my brain hurts. So much going on in this episode. It was great. I had a feeling micheal was going to send Victor with Pegs. And for a second there I too thought she was preggers but prob not. I feel like victor likes pegs since he asked her about micheal but then again I may have just been small talk. Ground Zero....oh I can't wait to find out whats there. They said it was where it seemed to have started (right?) so if it was then what's up with the mystery chocking?? I think It may be a sort of zombie nest where they all go and maybe (like others have said) there is a queen zombie and harsh fumes and chemicals may be floating around. Maybe that's what is turning them but maybe not because that would mean that if pegs and victor inhaled the fumes of it (if it even is that since they said it didnt seem to be the air but if it wasn't
then what??) they would be turning into zombies too. Either way I'm looking forward to the finale. And on Saul...THANK YOU!!! I was waiting for something like this to happen. I sorta hoped he would do something like that especially after his comment about micheal wanting them to go after pegs but not Lizzie. I'm so excited and I don't think I can wait TWO WEEKS for another episode let alone idk how many more for the finale.
Didn't we say that Saul + Lizzy = both of them making horrible decisions for the sake of each other?Quote:

I don't know if he's in love with Lizzie, but with the world the way it is and considering the situations they have been through together, I'd say thier bond is strong. Love can make folks to stupid shit. Besides, I've already considered Saul to be a bit of a dork. He's not the brightest in the bunch, but looking back, he has had some good ideas that have helped the team immensely.
Unfortunately, I think this could also be the start of The Demise of Burt. He's probably going to give chase, find folks in trouble, and sacrifice himself, a final redeeming act.
I am pleased to hear about the amount of flying experience that Pegs has had, 80 hours. At least should put to rest some of the doubts about her suitability for being the second pilot. I know that 80 hours in a plane with your Dad, is different to flying a chopper, but it is a good start and a lot of the technical terms and stuff will not be too new to her.
I love, love, love that we have finally had someone go near ground zero, that seems like some crazy stuff!
yeah that happens no matter what i do so screw it, besides I don't even argue for angel all that much anymoreQuote:

Ok, I am going to update the silencer thread to include Saul. If he has gone off the rails to the point actually abandoning friends not just talking about it, he may have taken the silenced pistol himself. I will also flesh out the silenced MP5. There will be really mixed emotions when I show that Pegs was the last known person to have that MP5
I have to do a little work first. I want to read up on subsonic weapons. I know there used to be research on sub sonic waves as an area denial less than lethal weapons. Kinda like feeling the bass drum of a parade in your chest. At even lower frequencies it may even be subliminal.
I am wondering if the hospital is near ground zero. These red shirts may not have heard of the physiological effects of ground zero. We know that Ground Zero is BAD. More freaky zombies (Kalani) and makes people sick (Kalani and now personal experience). I will add to this that Skittles says Hospitals and bookstores are bad. More smart ones.
How many large hospitals are there in LA? It must be big enough to accept life-lift. It could also be a fictional place. I can see it now Kc and friends are multimillionaires and the lawyers come calling. How dare you? We ain't got no stinking zombies
"Return in red" on a grand scale? That would be nuts
Short but good episode. On the other hand, 5-3 was 10 minutes long. So when Pegs first was beginning to cough and almost puke, I thought she was pregnant. I believe Victor was thinking the same thing. I still think that Pegs is pregnant however and exposure to this "hot zone" will make her have a three armed zombie baby. Also, I think an idiot ball was dropped somewhere allowing Saul to go off on his own, we all knew he was a loose cannon. As soon as Burt started wondering where he was, I was like, "Great, Saul's run off to find Lizzie"
Personally if I were Saul, I would wait for the chopper, but obviously I'm not him. And clearly Michael trusts that Victor isn't the shooter to the extent that he has Victor drive Pegs to the airport. If Michael believed that Victor was the shooter or the shooter would continue shooting Tower folk, then there is no way Pegs would be riding with him. Plus, if Victor was the shooter, this would be a good opportunity to escape.
For the record, I do not believe Victor was the shooter. I don't think he had enough motive and I think Hope would have mentioned his strong scent. It also seemed to be well, if quickly, planned, so I think Riley was too drunk. Can't be Lewis, no drama there. Leaving Kelly...but there are holes in that theory too. ARGH! He must have been shot by a ghost!
Pikepaw, Kelley came from the colony with Pegs and Victor. Pegs was the last known person with the silenced MP5. It is possible Kelley held it in the car as she drove and Pegs slept.
this episode was really meh we are not going to hear a lot of ground zero for a while. The next thing will be Lizzy since we havent heard from her in a whole chapter and I also think that they will be going to get that other chopper in chapter 23
No my problem with Kelly as the shooter is Pippin's last words of, "it's you" spoken in surprise. If the shooter is also the rat, and the rat killed Pippin to keep themselves hidden, then it couldn't be Kelly. Kelly was at the interrogation and was watching Pippin for six hours. That is lot's of time to reveal, "Oh by the way good chaps, I totally saw Kelly at the Maller camp a while back."Quote:

For some reason the description of ground zero is making me think of the Cowboy Bebop movie. Nanobots anyone? Lol.
I hope not, but if Pegs and Victor start seeing glowing butterflies...:p
