Maybe it's more of a guy thing. Teams I've played on and teams of guys I've coached have had this sort of thing going on. Girls teams I've coached have hardly done it at all.Quote:

Completely agreed!Quote:

I wonder if they walked into a booby trap of some sort. As in someone knew they might go there and set a trap. It would be kind of more Ink's style; but not his technology level. Granted we don't really know Scratch's style as she was always doing Durai's errands; but she always seemed more chaotic than cunning.

Maybe, maybe not. That call is easy to make when it's someone else... when its you and survival instincts kick in, that's entirely different.Quote:

@Red- I could and can agree with everything you said. It really does make sense. I have friends, we pick on each other, and sometimes even dog ourselves to each other. XD
We need hour long episodes! lol, these 20minute cliffhangers are killing me!
I dont know what to think honestly...theories are running rampant right now and i'm just at a loss...I really hate that we lost the soldiers, i loved the banter back and forth...hope Puck makes it...he has grown into one of my favorite characters.
Did anyone else have the slightest hope that when that radio started ringing at the end that ol' Scarface was gonna be on the other end?
Anyway, on to that jumbled theories..
First thought was Ink attack. but If it had something to do with Ink, i think we would have know it in this episode...seems too obvious for them to go in search of Ink info, and get attacked bam dead. Plus the fact that he called for pick up leads me away from this...If it had been Ink, with everyone dead but Puck(wounded at that) he would have no reason to call off the minions, and seems like Puck thought he had a shot at being picked up. That suggest the attack is over..so thats why i pushed the Ink theory away..
Next thought was the Mallers. Would tie in nicely with the return of Burt and Riley. However, with the safe being mentioned by Burt i truly think that is more then just non-essential fodder to get them back in the picture. I think we have a ways to go before Scratch is brought back in, with alot more searching....but, it could still work. Mallers get the upper hand and take out the soldiers... would be a good way to bring her back and have everyone working to find her and not just Burt and Riley...
3rd thought...maybe it it is Ink....It could be the new "Arena" and Punk just managed to get out and make it to the safest point he could to stop and call for help.
4th thought....Randy's group. we know Randy wants Tanya for whatever reasons, and we know that he is getting more bold, maybe he left Puck wounded and backed off setting up a trap to get to her.
5th and waayyy out there thought...If they are all dead but Puck, and he is badly wounded, nothing Tonya could really do to help in the field that would be THAT much better then anything Michael and crew could. It would need to be back where all her equipment is. So to me it seems odd that he would request her out in the field with the danger of whatever killed everyone else........sooooooooo Randy infected Puck with a new type of infection similar to R2Datu but still incorporates the control part over the host that Ink and Randy seem to both have over the infected ones..
Either way it goes, one thing is for certain.....Puck is only alive right now because of King Datu's uber awesome gun!!! :D
alright now that im at a legit pc (with my first beer of the new year. what? ive been sick since December?!), lets cobble together some thoughts.
stupid pump,*kick*!
with the speculating about datus anger, I have to wonder if everyone forgot that the stupid pump is part of the reason datu is in the situation hes in. were that me, I WOULD have scrapped the whole stupid thing.
datu's mental stability
I have to agree with vic onthis one. the pipe inside a pipe (o) solution really should have been obvious to him sooner. I know, I know...weeks to live..blah blah blah. stress does do interesting things to ones ability to reason out problems quickly. this I can say from faaaar too much experience. multitasking is a joke, and stress affects the mental faculties probly more so than the effects of a bite on the neck. datu is cracking, they need to use him in a 'consultant' role more going forward. but, the likleyhood of that? 0.0
damn dirty hippies
good to hear burt and riley back, but I both agree and disagree with the recent comments. were Michael et al a lil harsh on them during the conference call? absolutely. but the way I see it, burt has been out there wasting time. when it became clear that the trail had went cold, likely after a month or so. they should have came in. thaats one thing burt has never seemed to grasp, regardless of IF he wants help...he needs it more often than not. hopefully he is holding on to a few nuggets of info, otherwise im kinda disappointed in the ol' fart.
what?
its been said already, but the bit with everyone talking at once was really awesome. ive noticed this season that the production levels have really stepped up. it seems like the last few chapters have had some type of really cool audio bit included. id be interested to test out red shirts spectrum analyser idea on this part especially.
'they're all dead'
I said this earlier today, but now ill clarify. ive been waiting for the ft. Irwin guys to get killed off for a while now. the thing is we NEED some type of loss's to start happening for the story to be believable.(in my opinion)...IF they really are dead(more on that in a sec) then we should thank our lucky stars that it was them and not someone like victor that went first. the 'kings of komedy' while loved, were perhaps the most expendable characters at this time. making them the first of our main people to go is the natural progression this story needs to take.
wha??
so what happened? many are now speculating that it was mallers, not biters that got em. not sure how I feel about that. while I agree we need closure to the maller storyline, I don't know that it should come now. perhaps directly after this, when our group out in the field is at a low point(morale wise). but to me plugging the mallers back into the story now feels...predictable.
what I would rather "see"...is that puck didn't actually "see" them killed, but taken. much the same way datu was taken, and Tanya was grabbed. robbins,carl, and Muldoon could have simply been grabbed in a big ole ambush dogpile. pucks natural reaction to this would be to call them "dead" as hes yet to experience that sort of thing firsthand. IF that's the case and they COULD still be alive. datu would be the one to send in there(wherever THERE is..) to get them. as he is currently "ignored" by the typical biter.
I have no clue what the hell gonna happen next, and im loving the hell out of that. good work Kc and crew!

Well, we kinda just had Glenn dead and Datu sentenced to death (and some redshirts killed as well), so I don't know if I agree on this one. It felt already pretty gloomy, at this point I'm feeling worse than during the end of last season.Quote:

I was thinking something like this too. I don't recall how long it took to hear Datu's side of the story, back at the Arena, but until we heard it we probably all assumed he was dead. *sigh* it was still in the blissful period when I didn't catch up yet and I had plenty to listen to, so I did not have to endure the wait. Those were the days! :)Quote:
