It's a pet peeve of mine but I had to let it go for WA. That being said, I do hear people that know better still call mags clips from time to time....Quote:

There are so many situations he had to play dumb or pretend he was just being friendly when he was really fishing for info. And nobody seemed to notice anything, even us the listeners. I think his character was masterfully written.
Looking from that lens though and knowing how well KC can write, I wonder what other jaw dropping surprises we will get from our characters? I think once the season ends we will need to go back and re listen again and still be wondering 'Man! How did I miss that?'
Yeah I've listened front to back about 40 times in the past 2 years and I still catch something every once in a while that I missed before.Quote:

Mark my words... one day I'll go back and fix every last one... but it'll most likely be in the remastered version. Podcast episodes rarely get edited.Quote:

Going through a relisten I am surprised how many times people ask Michael if he read something and he hasn't. It's his idea to do the logs, but then after the first few days he doesn't seem interested in reading them anymore. He doesn't read Carl's report about what happened at the Chinook. He is supposed to be a MI Analyst but he doesn't ever seem to want to analyze the intel he has haha.
And I can't count how many times Tanya asks him if he has read the journals and he hasn't. The annoying part is they usually start to argue and so if feels like we never really get out of Tanya whatever discovery she has made. It seems like Tanya has made herself into a zombie expert, but that knowledge seems to stay mostly with her. If we do lose Tanya at some point that will be quite a loss.
Once Michael signs his new orders and gets filled in by Kimmet at Irwin we are told that Irwin has outposts 'all over the place' on various 'special missions'. We know about the team to Pantex to get the nukes (though that was when they first arrived) and we know about the team to Long Beach where Long gets hit. But what other teams? Where did they go? Were they taken out in the nuke blasts as well or was Kimmet embellishing a little on how many teams they had in how many places? Or will we run into another team at some point who was out when the blast happened and has been wandering looking for other survivors since?
In real life, Dick Cheney came in and put RR's Continuity of Goverment on steroids. I still think the damage to the country was so much that many sites went dark and off the air. I hope they begin to awaken at the one year mark. But, I think a lot more is known about the world than is written into the story, because it is about the characters and events surrounding Michael.
Sometimes it's just audio-drama mechanics coming out. They have to tell us things rather than read them, so sometimes it's better to do it this way. Michael hadn't read the report yet from Carl, and if he had they might have responded to Boulder sooner. Story-wise, it was better that he didn't, since it was intended for Boulder to fall.Quote:

I'll have to go back and listen again. That may have been to help develop the character's personalities but I am the overly curious type hahaQuote:

- Ch. 29 2/3 @ 3:12 "...and how many out in the field?" "By last count, I think 182." (The "in the field" count may not include outposts.)
Something worth mentioning in the second pass minutiae vein was something that happened later that relates to the content of the briefing. (I also mention it with the summary.)
During the siege and fall of Ft. Irwin at 11:43, Kimmet kicks Michael and Puck out of the C&C. Before Michael leaves he steals a sat phone and a directory. Later at 11:59, "What'd ya swipe?" "One of the sat phones and the directory. All the line numbers."
Continuity of Government, also known as Continuity of Operations, is a fascinating, yet eerily terrifying subject. Not just Regan era... the entirety of the Red Scare "Duck and Cover" Cold war era. Also included among them are the Civil Defense, CONELRAD, the NEAR Program, Autovon and the DSN, EBS & EAS... Primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary and so on layers of operational redundancy that are a rabbit hole of operational contingencies. It's no wonder that some of those programs and activities use names and phrases from Alice in Wonderland. Operation Looking Glass, Wonderland and so on.Quote:

Fantastic analysis, I've thought about NORAD before too and all the other bunkers scattered everywhere. They could survive years without having to crack the door open.Quote:

For all we know, it could be quite a zombie hive at this point.....Quote:

In ch39 Chemical Reactions, when Michael and team bring in the bitten trainee girl and the dead behemoth, Tanya is looking at the girl and she says her eyes haven't started to cloud over but that she has definitely already begun to turn. How does she know that the girl is turning already?
The girl is unconscious from chloroform and from what I remember the only ways we know that a person has begun to turn are the eyes, aggression, or they feel themselves turning... none of which we had in this scenario.
Eyes can still give signs even though they haven't clouded over. At that scene, they are close to starting to cloud.Quote:

Chapter 27-2 - they used the same audio clip when Kalani was going to the basement to mix cement as the audio clip in Chapter 4-1 when installing the security gate. Nothing important, but i just noticed...
Didn't realise that when Kalani said "Smile you son of a bitch!" to the downed Behemoth in 18-3, it was a reference to the death of the shark in Jaws......
yea it took me a long time to place that too. Why would he like it so much. I remember seeing it when it first came out, it gave nightmares for a week. (I was 12 at that time, wanted to be an oceanographer at that time. that movie change that right quick)Quote:

(Sorry for the random comment - I just missed talking to you guys....,)
yea I know I feel the same. its like a big part of my life was ripped away.Quote:

(spoilers because the show has now ended)
I listened to the whole thing on a four day binge, and I've now gone back to the start to re-listen to it
And the one things more than anything else that really gets to me was that THEY KNEW ABOUT INK IN LIKE THE THIRD EPISODE
Lizzy finds the TiVo and they literally watch a clip about Ink's trial and what he had done and about his tattoos and Micheal TELLS HER TO FAST FROWARD
THEY JUST FAST FORWARD THROUGH IT WHILE I WAS SCREAMING 'NOOOO STOP GO BACK'
After realising how important that information becomes in the fourth season it just bloody kills me to know it was RIGHT THERE at the very beginning :'(
KC plants information like that through the entire series. When you take the time to follow all the red strings it will blow your mind. Check out Apartment2c onYoutube at 7:30pm Tuesday nights for even more about the episodes and the actors that play the characters in the show.Quote:
