Roll call! Stand up, be counted, and get straight fucked up by the Mallers!
I'll be listening to this one over and over while doing college work. Why I signed up to better my mind is something I should ponder more and more.
But anyway, yes, bring on the podcast!
*compulsive refresh on iTunes*
Off the wall prediciton.... Bricks goes to show Durai the video and in the process Durai starts pushing all the wrong buttons on Bricks to the point where Bricks snaps and kills Durai, then roll call to let everyone know that Scratch is now in-charge of the Mallers.
I predict that someone we love is going to die, and that the rest if the crew will hace to beat feet with the SatPhone as Scratch takes kver the colony. They can't /beat/ the Maulers right now, mainly because story wise, the Maulers have no where to go! And beyond that, I have to agree with Nikvoodoo from a recent WND. Riley must kill scratch. Perferably barehanded on top of a tank thats on fire.
Oh boy! Oh effing boy ... !
Really!?!? Another huge cliff hanger ending? ARGH!!!!
RIP Bricks... :(
Dude, its not even 9!
WOW.. Awsome cliff hanger. Got a bit worried for Saul there.
:(
Have to wait.......
Ahem.... *buffs fingernails on shirt*...Quote:

On the plus side maybe Bricks going down means there's more hope for Burt making it out. They have to go after him, right? I mean Lizzy at least knows he's at the Colony now so she can bring it up.
Also kudos to nik (as if his ego needs any more boosting :p ) on calling the importance of Scratch's back up knife.
Next episode in 2 weeks! No!!!!!!

That episode was high octane! And Lizzie never met Victor? Coulda sworn she had...
Great exciting episode! I still think the Mallers have to take over, for now at least. But given all that, we / have/ to going to Irwin in two weeks.
Victor showed up at the tower the day after Lizzy got kicked out (chapter 19/20) so they've never met before.Quote:

For not going according to plan... That went pretty damn well
Amazing show.
Bricks went down way too cheap ... Well, in the end he was just another grunt or puppet ... But he was a red shirt with a name at least.
The cliffhanger is pretty badass. Question would be: Will #33 deal with things at the colony, or will Kc and the Cast focus on the other "Tower-folks"?
The fall and rise of Scratch was like wooHOOO! Osiris's probably gonna get drunk being happy that Scratch did not bite the dust ... ;) I am kind of confused that Durai would do a public trial like this about family biz; but hell, actually we never got to know Durai, so any prediction was likely or valid, and in terms of the story told Kc chose the more dramatic demise of his ...
And now Scratch is in ... well, full control? The bloodbath and gunfight was actually quite a surprise to me. Ok, I guessed that the situation between the Mallers would be tense and that the death of Durai's would actually lead to some tense situation; but just as tense as the guys freaked out in the end?
Gatekeeper told Victor that the guns were under direct control of the Mallers; ergo the shooting mainly took place by the Mallers against each other; are they really as divided as the gunfight might implicitely tell the audience? The next question would be: How destabilized is the TNT box filled with Mallers and Colonists?
Now that Bricks is down I don't think that Burt's gonna make it. True: Lizzy and Victor are in the Colony; and Lizzy could or even will think about rescuing Burt. But Bricks told Lizzy that Burt's prison/ room is guarded. Maybe the gunfight will have led the guards away from the room. And yet I guess that Scratch will head for Burt as fast as possible as soon as the gunfight has ebbed down a bit; what would happen if either Lizzy reaches the prison before Scratch or vice versa? And since Burt is weak and emotionally destroyed by Scratch he should be easy game for Scratch. And if I am wrong about my worst case scenario for Burt, I am willing to predict that he will be the one to kill Scratch - for everything she did to him and The Tower-folk ...
Besides this Scratch is going to be heavily pissed that someone betrayed her. Maybe she will be happy to see Briggs being dead. But what will she do about Lizzy being gone or hidden somewhere or meeting her at Burt's? And would her opinion will have changed now that everything has changed? Lots of potential for awesome storytelling I guess ... :D
Soon we will learn more ...
All the best!

Great episode, wow!
Sad to see Durai gone. He was an interesting and mysterious character. Glad it was him over Scratch though. She has way more left to do.
Really thought Bricks would play a bigger role going forward. I'll miss the big lug. RIP Bricks.
We got more certainty that Hannah was the girl at the golf course. Poor girl.
Its kind of a question, actually. They said there were only 30 or so Mallers, right? Well, if they're gonna have a civil war, thats gonna kinda thin out their numbers, unless a lot of the Colonists have swapped sides.
Gatekeeper mentioned something along this line in #32-2: The resistance-Colonists seem to thin out, which is probably one of the reasons why CJ started to doubt a lot more about this whole operation ... Therefore the Colonists are not standing together like one man anymore, but it seems more likely that there are the ones having given up on themselves, some others probably sympathizing with The Mallers (we don't know anything like this for sure though), the few planning about getting out of this hell-hole, and the number of Resistance-dudes getting smaller and smaller ...Quote:

Wow, Durai went out like a Bond villain.
Durai: "Hey Scratch, I'm gonna kill you."
Scratch: "Can I say something?"
Durai: "Sure, I was just kidding about wanting to do this quickly. Besides I have all of your weapons. Just step within arms reach of me so you can hand me your ring."
Great episode! Even though there is a cliff hanger it seems like a mild one. They're inside (CJ, Saul and zombies) now. I kept expecting Zombie-Sean to make an apperance and throw off CJ's focus. Next episode sounds like there will be quite a bit of action. UNLESS the show picks up at fort Irwin. At this point, with their foot in the door (no pun intended) a major cusp has been reached. The story can return to another setting, i.e. Fort Irwin, the same way we left there after discovering Tanya's bite. I've been wrong, all along so far, but I'm prediticing that we'll see Fort Irwin in the next chapter.
It might happen something like this...
Flash back to Chapter 32-3.
Victor: "Check Check. I put the earpiece in. Can you hear me? "
Glenn: "We can hear you just fine. I was just about to tell you that the helicopter returned. A soldier named Rile..." Last two sentances are cut off by Saul cutting into the channel.
Saul: "Glenn, go silent alright? We don't need you clogging up the channel."
Glenn: Releases the talk button. "If you say so."
Riley: "Why didn't you tell them not to try anything until our squad arrive? "
Glenn: "I tried but... "
Riley: "Where is the Colony? Angel! Is he there too?"
Glenn: "Oh, about that. I wasn't going to say..."
Riley: "PETE!!! What is in this bottle? It tastes like water! I try to cook for you, Coq au vin, and you bring me water insted of wine!!!! The chicken is ruined.! Bring me another one!"
anybody else notice that CJ seemed to have quite the handcannon when she went to "buy them some time"? Shirley Mk.II perhaps?
Great episode!!
I was half expecting us to be left hanging on whether or not Saul survived breaching the colony.
Yes! Finaly some good action.. Durai is dead the idiot should have had her silenced and in chains before she could have blinked an eye.
No more Briggs to Hulk out on Saul. Free him up with Lizzy with no potintial competition.
I predict Burt will get to kill Scratch an avenge everyone else. There is still a major part of the story to be told with Ft. Irwin and Boulder.
We need to get back to that.
Without Bricks or Durai how will they find and/or rescue Burt?
1) Lizzy knows about Burt.
2) Scratch may use Burt as a bargaining chip.
3) Gate Keeper may know something of Burt. When Victor says, "they have one of us," Gate Keeper responds with,"So, that's what they've been hiding." BUT, he was probably not talking about Lizzy. Lizzy is out in the open, not hidden. Burt and Angel were hiden away.
4) It is reasonable to assume that others in The Colony know that something/someone is being hidden by the Mallers. Especially if others have been in the stockade, where I assume Burt is kept near.
Durai needed to man up!
He must have watched too many after school specials while locked away. Does a terrible job of standing his ground against Scratch. They argue like my wife and I.
1) I grow some balls and speak my mind.
Durai says he pissed over the killing Angel and the doctor, failure at the arena, murder of a teenaged girl and attacking the tower again.
2) Wife brings up all of my failed plans while conveniently skipping her monkey wrench activities.
Scratch bring up the first tower attack but skips the sabotaged negotiations and pipe bombs. The poorly defended mall but skips sabotaging the effort to get a safer place. The failure at the arena but skips the part about not having enough tankers.
3) I turn out to be the Gilligan of the relationship.
Scratch claims that everthings she does is involves cleaning Durai's mistakes. Some Mallers begin to believe her.
4) She brings up one, 1, ONE thing she did right. WIN!!!
Scratch, "I discovered the Colony like the Columbus discovered America, Bitch!"
5) Yes dear, I'll make YOU a sandwhich.
Durai, "I got us out of prison."
Scratch, "Uh, excuse me. Oh no you ditn't!"
Mallers, "Ramble, ramble, ramble", "Dey turk ur jobs!", All together now... "Jey jerk er Jerbs!"
Victor turns into Kyle Reese trying to save John Conners mom. "Follow me if you want to live!" But, Lizzy is harder to rescue than a wounded animal.
Victor: "I'm Victor I'm here to rescue you."
Lizzy: "Leave me alone."
Victor: "I'm here with Saul and your R2 unit."
Lizzy: "I don't believe you."
Victor: "Saul Phineas Wendle Tink. Mom's name is Tanya, was locked up in jail for shoplifting, favorite color is Duke Blue, scared of cirus clowns since he was five, has a birthmark on his wiener shaped like Mickey Mouse, has a dog named Lady, can't hold his liquor, has a house at 123 Crip Walk Lane in Inglewood, gave you a packet of flower seeds, fixed your lucky bookbag with zip ties, Social Security number ###-##-####, and he sounds like Q-Tip from 'A Tribe Called Quest.'
Lizzy: "You're lying, someone could have told you all of that. Where is his long form Birth Certificate?"
Odds and Ends
1) The Mallony's weapons are locked away somewhere.
2) Durai was close to Angel's father. (Yet he didn't seem to recognize him during the first attack on the tower.)
3) Zombies entered the colony through the 'airlock'... inner gate.
4) Who's shooting at whom? How are the Mallers telling each other apart? Victor says that the ones in the guardians' positions were shooting at the one's on the ground. Were the ones in the guard tower too far away to have heard the conversation between Durai and Scratch? Durai mentions these Mallers as being 'cell mates more loyal than' Scratch. Were these particular Mallers more loyal or was Durai talking about them all in general before they hearing Scratch?
My thoughts on todays episode:
Attachment 2120
Meh, not my favorite episode, sorry to say. Love the series, but Kc dropped the ball a bit on this one, character-wise:
- Knew it was about Scratch as soon as she started her "Yeah! Everybody shut up and listen!" routine. Sorry, man, it just came off as shtick to me
- Durai has got to be one the stupidest kingpins of all time. Who stages an execution, then lets the accused give a long monologue before the axe falls?
- Definition of a Redshirt: a character for whom piano music does NOT play when they snuff it.
He should have paid attention to Tuco from The Good, The Bad & The Ugly. If you're going to shoot, shoot; don't talk.Quote:
That was mistake number one for Durai. Mistake number two was trying to hold a public execution. I thought his character was more intelligent then that...Once the Don makes the decision to kill a family member, there's no more time for talking...you just slit her throat and dump the body. Amateur.
Giant plot hole here. The more important fact is Angel knew the Mallers and didn't tell anyone.Quote:
This should teach durai: Listen to WND because I told you exactly how you were going to die weeks ago. *sigh*
Beware a scratch on the loose with loyal followers and no one standing in her way anymore. Burt......you're in a shit load of trouble. You haven't narrated a piece of story in a long while and Bricks told lizzy the last part. I don't think you've got much left except unite some lovers and die in the process
That will be Burts end. He will sacrifice himself to save Lizzy since he believes it's his fault she's in the mess in the first place. He won't take out Scratch though. I still say she's get's fed to "The Tattooed One."Quote:
