Im a big Burt and Angel fan they cant kill them. They're such a powerful force in We're Alive

They're in a tough spot. And its a sign of good storytelling that I honestly can't predict whats going to happen. All the possibilities seem likely (They both die, the both get out, one dies and the other gets out, etc...)
But really, I think Burt has an expiration date. He has all the makings of a heroic sacrifice: He older than everyone else, he's badass enough to make his exit epic, he's physically breaking down, and he has things to atone for. I don't know if this is going to be his exit or not. His narration opening the chapter makes his survival more likely, unless he's writing it while preparing to die, but I do think he's going out before the story is all said and done.
I know! They spoke in such a "this is the end" way, I'm freaking out. If they die, they better go out in one hell of a way. I swear, if Burt dies without tearing a hole in the matter of the space with Shirley and sucking all zombies into it, I'm gonna scream. Ok, maybe not something that extreme, but you know...
They need an old man who else could replace him. This is kinda weird I just ask shane not to kill burt on facebook
I told Kc that he was evil. I'm pretty sure he lol'd and then set fire to a kitten before saying 'I'm just telling a story'.
I hope they both die. I like both the characters but I just dont see how they can get out of this.
Prediction: they will both survive this and then the moment they feel safe (and we do along with them) one of them is going to get bitten and/or die!
So, im glad that this thread is here and hasnt been merged, I just got to listen, *i know, lets all yell at the admin who didnt listen to the new episode on release day.* And i am not sure what to think of all this. I know riley is my favorite character and if she really "needs" angel like she said she did then this is really gunna make her get hammered every day. That makes me sad. on the other hand I cant see a way out for burt and angel. Im thinking maybe, just maybe, they will use the helicopter to distract the zombies enough for them to get away and then meet up later but im not sure if that would work. they could also try to distract some with burts explosives cuz that worked before but I would think that the zombies are to preoccupied with trying to kill angel and burt to care about that petty noise.
All i know is that if angel dies, Ra1th will have a hard time keeping up his comebacks in the "will angel ever take control of the tower" thread. and that, if nothing else would make his death sit a bit better with me.
Zombie army. Order amongst them. Following orders. Taking live prisoners. The zombies arent just gonna chow down on Burt and Angel, we need to see what the zombies are doing at the hospital. Burts telling the story now, so I reckon he will be telling the story of what is happening to them as the zombies do unspeakable things to Angel.
Great episode! They have 2 sheets left i believe.
They wanted to get to the roof several stories below, but since they don't have enough, how about just going one level down?
Angel lowers bert out window using both sheets, angel kicks in window and enters floor below. Bert could then either add more sheets/material if available, or secure his end in the room, hold on and let angel swing on down into the room!
Granted its dangerous, but hell its freeeakkkking zombies out there man!
Either that or bert mentioned the sheet tore because it was rubbing on the ledge. Wonder would the ledge allow them to go to adjoining rooms?
Am i wrong or did I hear that they are holding the door handle since it is not locked so one of them has to hold the door making it almost impossible for both to escape?
if angel dies Ra1th would kidnap kc (after kc had a car wreck in the snow) and hold him hostage until he wrote a new story where Angel came back to life and finally took over the tower. Kc make sure you double up on your security and don't drive in the snow!!!
i have an idea? what if Riley is the rat and in order to save Burt and Angel she has to call the mallers for help and everyone finds out that she is the rat!! that would be pretty sweet!!
Me likey!
This is an amazing and key moment in the story. Bets on kc going back to the tower in the next part and not telling us what happens next with Burt & Angel?
Quick question on the specs of the chopper they are about to nab, is it small enough to get close enough to the hospital for Burt & Angel to jump in but still big enough to suit their needs? OR is it just big enough that it is just not plausible? Because this might drastically change what i think will happen to them.. i like the guy that thinks that Kc is going to use Angle & Burt as a vehicle for more info on what the frack the "zombies" are DOING.... it would make sense... and maybe we will get told who frigin Randy is! (Randy... Randi? hmmm)
I doubt any helicopter would be able to hover close enough to the window for them to jump in. They're pretty much in the middle of the building (or at least they've got two floors above them) meaning there's a wall above and below the window. The blades would prevent the chopper from getting close enough. Kalani and Riley would have to hover above the building and hang a rope ladder or the rest of their bedsheet "rope" and have Angel and Burt climb up.
Alrighty just wanted to clear that up, and it dosnt seem like they grabbed that long rope because i think Kc would have made note of the fact that they took it if they did correct? Also i dont think a medical chopper would have a rope ladder but they would have a rescue basket right? just a thought
I have one thing to say...
GET TO THE CHOPPAH
My prediction is angel escapes down to the 6th floor and burt dies protecting angel, maybe.....they both are captured and they discover somthing new??? how they escape??? not from riley and kalani i think they will take the helicopter back to the tower and demand for a rescue operation and there will be consverse but they proceed with the rescue mission saving both angel and burt??? KC if u steal this idea ill go insane! (i bet KC reads our predictions and makes the next episode just like that or he completely avoids the prediction in spite of us lol) anyway whatever happens if riley and angel dont get steamy in the helicopter im burning somthing alive and putting it KC's backyard and calling animal abuse.........''Due to un forseen events the podcast ''We're alive a story of survival'' has been banned from the intenant and all employes have been convicted of first degree kitty murder! and arsen! too much? lol
yeah i thought that to about the basket. My grandmother was once air lifted to a hospital (due to a small heart attack) the hospital chopper had a steel cable on the side and had a basket inside to connect to. so if Riley and Kalani can get to the helicopter they might have a chance. BUT!!! one big fact that everyone seems to keep forgetting is that the room's door won't lock so even if the helicopter is able to get to them SOMEONE MUST HOLD THE DOOR. or else its all over. muhaha. . . . . yeah that's all i got!! thanks.
Everyone forgetting the classics? Explosions, jamming things into doors, fateful last second leaps to the chopper? I am very curious to hear what happens, but there really are a lot of factors.
I would definitely go with a rescue attempt. I don't think they'll depend on the chopper as its an unknown. I see a confrontation in the hospital and perhaps even a parley with the man in the suit. Maybe its because of the chapter art, but I just don't see the chopper being an immediate move in this situation. I like that we don't know whether Angel or Burt will survive. The tension is delicious. However, Kalani and Riley aren't exactly safe, they're 6 floors below, have to make it to another wing, and have to get by whatever other zombies might be there.
I really hope that circumstances unfold that a more dynamic chain of events occurs than a simple rescue with the chopper. While it would be interesting, I think its a tad too easy and pedestrian for how the scene has played thus far. Some sort of craziness should lead to a running escape that plays into Burt using the C4 to slow or stop zombie egress into the main tower for awhile, giving Kalani time to get the chopper actually running after finding the keys. The approach of differing zombies should give it some tension as they bypass the limiting situation and give tension to their actually leaving. Whether someone eats it or sacrifices themselves in the process would be up in the air.
Just some speculative possibilities, mind, but just to point out there are a lot of things that could happen here.
True gun, obviously pin stripes has an encounter with Riley (he is holding an arrow after all) so there will atleast get shot at by her, totally forgot about that :)
Well of course neither of them HAVE to die, we are just saying that IF someone dies its most likely going to be Burt as we kinda know all we need to about him (or so we think)
I have a really bad feeling Saul or Liz are going to go. You know, to make it the most heartwrenching season finale ever. Hopefully I'm not in public when the shoe drops. I almost lost my s%it during the funeral at a supermarket. And Blondie is obviously pregnant, right?
the line ripped, i dont know if that would have worked
Well, the 2 sheets left aren't by accident. They'll be used somehow. Maybe set a fire in front of the door, zombies no likey fire?, then jump to the rescue basket. Or hell, if they're big sheets why not parachute down? Wouldn't need to be too crazy to slow their fall enough to survive through it, they aren't jumping from 20k ft or anything.
All said and done I don't theink either are dying here.
I will say this - "GET TO DA CHOPPA!" went through my head 1000 times while listening to this piece of the episode.
As I mentioned in the theory section I think that we may lose at least one character. If the two have a great fight with the zombies and manage to repel them one may get scratched. A scratch or a bite to one of the characters could cause one final teary goodbye between burt and angel before one shoots the other in the head and goes to catch up with the Riley. Any way this happens i'm worried that we may lose a great main character.
GET TO DA CHOPPA!
Angel, Kalani, and Riley have become to chummy lately to split up just yet.
I think the sheets have purpose!
#1. Wet 1 sheet and wrap around the door handles to hold it temporarily.
#2. Rappel down to one floor (finding more sheets!)
or (unlikely)
#1. Riley uses her bow but she will be hard pressed to find a string light enough to use as a leader for our hero's to pull a rope up to them.
or (Likely)
#1. Hover over roof and lower the winch! All rescue Helicopters have WINCHES.
Regarding Burt, Angel, or Riley's Death:
While were in a good spot in the story to loose a main character like Burt, it wouldn't be heart felt enough in this situation. When Datu met Hope for the 1st time, I dont know about you guys but I kinda teared up! (in a muy macho way!:). Riley and Angel have some relationship crap that still needs to be fleshed out so there safe. Burt's death to save the team doesn't have enough people involved for it to be a really heart wrenching loss here! I would be very disappointing to see him go in such an anti climatic way (only 3 witnesses).
If we're going to lose a character here it'll be from the Riley Kilani end, just to mess with us. We're all expecting something drastic to happen to Burt or Angel because of the build up, so my money is on the others getting into hot water, again just to mess with us.
