Chapter 40-1 Monsters

"Seven" pouncing on the regular zombie... First thought was "oh wow!"
Second thought was "no, the joke goes "six was afraid because seven 'ate' nine" not "Vic and Tanya were afraid because seven ate a poor ole regular zombie dude."
Third thought was about Monica from "Friends."

But seriously, great episode, KC!

Now something that caught my ear, and this doesn't help anyone's theories at all so it'll probably go unnoticed, but when everyone was arguing while Michael was radioing back... the whole conversation sounded similar to several arguments I've had around me in regard to how the Middle East and South Asia should be handled. I'm not tossing this out there to draw up political escalations, but if you change a word or two, it can be very topical for today, or even the last 12 years. This line of thinking got me comparing KC to Christopher Nolan with his Batman trilogy because CN did that with the themes of those movies.

Hopefully, KC isn't going to go all Inception on us with the information that we got to hear in this particular episode; that would be crazy.

That's a very mafioso/goodfellas/FAMILY way of conducting business.

Well, I don't know if you could say he was "doing time" there, but he did at least spend time at Eastern Bay. Where we know at least two of The Family were doing time.

Maybe a clue??

My guess is on Cohen as the spelling. It is Hebrew for "priest." Those tattoos are certainly ritualistic... but for what ritual(s)?
Clue? Dead lead at the moment... I just went through the Maller section of the Wiki to double check and didn't turn up anything new.

So, was the family marking Ink or did he do it to himself? It said inflicted, right. That would indicate he was not willing. Pretty hard to instigate a world wide pandemic from prison. But, saying there is a group of families are really an Apocalyptic cult trying to destroy the world could get you labeled as paranoid skitzo. Providing proof by showing the existence of corpse gas at Raydon Labs might get you a plea deal. The families might then have to up their time frame for z-day.

Remember, even in our current world there are people calling for the murder of 6 billion people to bring humanity back in balance with nature. Burt even comments on the roof of Lock and Loaded about how now there are so few of us things are going to chagnge. Isnt he talking about the stars? Michael talks about the pollution and being able to see that island

---

This is an interesting thought. Perhaps there is a connection between the families and Ink/Bill Roberts/TOWTM/whatever which would explain their supreme amount of luck when dealing with "them." But then why would Durai plan an assault on the arena? Hmmm....

I think Tanya is going to slap #7 so hard it'll force him to stand there with a quivering lip and take a good finger wagging scolding from her. Victor will saddle that sucker up and ride 'em like a "tauntaun" all the way home.

Well, at least one of them will survive to write it down... And since Victor is doing the VO I'd guess it's him... But has Tanya fulfilled her purpose yet?
Beside that, I've always been sure that Saul would be the Tink to die, not her... Or maybe 7 shouts out to them and invites them to Ink's one-year-as-a-zombie-party at the hospital.

LMAO, bro!!!!

I can see the show now, Victor and Tanya roaming the post apocalyptic LA scene dolling out their own brand of justice while dropping catch phrases (Tanya's should be "Bitch, please!").

Seriously though, is there anyone Victor can't have an awesome scene with? Between Kc's writing and Otto's acting, Victor is AWESOME and is now officially tied for "favorite character in WA"....

Couldn't agree more. Victor + (Insert W.A. character) = Awesome.

Maybe something with the approaching thunderstorm. Or, heaven forbid, Scratch show up and 'saves' their asses.
