Chapter 21 - "Mark of the Beast" - Part 2

Loved this episode, I am not on the other hand eager to see whatever cliffhanger that KC has in store after next weekes episode.

I'm firmly in the camp that says the inmates were being tested on and the outbreak is probably what happened after one of the test subjects, Ink maybe, got free. The possible ID tattoo might be a give away and the fact that the Mallers high-tailed it out of what's probably the safest location in LA to hole up in a strip mall.

I can't be the only one who thinks of the Big Bad Voodoo Daddy song Mr. Pinstripe Suit when ever Not Paul is mentioned am I? Here's a link to the video if that helps

Man, if the trend continues, this could be my most listened to episode. Anywho, I had a thought (rare occasion):

-What if we are right about Bricks and he ends up protecting Lizzy from Tardust, killilng that would-be-rapist and seeing that Lizzy is escorted back to the safety of the tower. Suppose that Saul happens upon them first and just flips out, killing Bricks before the guy has a chance to explain he is helping her. Wouldn't that suck? SAUL KILLS BRICKS! emo

-Also the weapon that Latch stole from the safe, that's Burts shiny pistol mentioned from the scene on the freeway when we first met Latch and Scratch, right? I'm assuming that if it is, then the only reason Scratch would want to save it is so that she can use it to kill Burt. Otherwise it could be a different weapon all together; some C-4, a hand grenade, who knows?

The shiny pistol is referring to Shirely, Burt's desert eagle, which never leaves his side. I'm thinking it is something quite powerful, like explosives, or a heavy machine gun. Maybe a high powered rifle. Could just be crazy and guess a rocket launcher. For some reason, when I hear the episode my mind thinks of anti-tank guns

Lol what if Burt just straight up had a predator drone hahaha that would hilarious

I meant in 6-1 when Burt threatens them with Shirley, Scratch draws a similar weapon and says, "Who's to say I don't have the same?" and she even hints that she jacked the weapon from Locked and Loaded, Burts store. I'm assuming this piece that she has is one Latch stole from the safe and gave to his baby sister. Later in 21-2, I believe this is the same weapon the other Maller mentions. A pistol like that may have power but isn't much special against a horde. I think she wants to save it for the sentimental value it will carry when she hopes to blast Burt to hell with it.

Ok Listened again and time for Crack-Pot Theory Time; What if "The Weapon" isn't something that is really a conventional weapon, like a gun or bomb? If the theory that the zombies were part of an experiment holds true, this could be a weapon that stuns or repels the Zombies. If the Zombies were in a Lab you'd really only have one or two of these "weapons" and you'd want something to stun or disoreint the Zombies (it'd be in bad form to kill your "research). If Durai and Latch have these "weapons" that could explain why they think an attack on the Arena is doable.

Just a thought.

Awesome. That would basically be game over for Mallers/Colony/Zombies unless they have some AA

Oh yes, Saul identified them as carrying 9mm pistols, and later when he was following them, Latch said they didn't have any ammo at that time. Of course, I'm sure they got more ammo once they returned to camp. I think the sentimental theory is valid, seeing as Latch got it. Not only Burt, but she definitely wants to put a lot of holes in Pegs.

I also like Robert's theory too, that it could be zombie repellent or something. You'd want to keep that for the worst possible scenario, when it could save your lie. Of course, a remote for a predator drone or anything that goes BANG BANG BOOM is my #1 theory because I like power

You're mixing Saul's and Burt's histories. Yes, Saul spent time in jail and later joined the army. No, the judge did not force him to. The judge wanted to make an example of Saul with his punishment. When Saul was sharing his prison story, Burt interrupted to say that back in his (Burt's) day, the judge would issue sentences where the convicted had the choice between jail and the army.

Nik, hope you don't mind I jumped on this one haha.

If you listen back to the third episode of " The Remains Of Eastern Bay " then you will see there is a huge hole in the story from where Saul gets spotted by the mallers and then ends up back at the tower, just as big as how Michael broke his arm imo. He loses radio contact then we hear nothing of how he got away. Also, Angel sounds really surprised at Saul when he says he is going to leave his scooter outside. Saul is the rat :p
