I'd guess we don't know which zombies are smart and which ones aren't (of the normals) when all we here about them is them being gunned down in the first minute of the episode.Quote:

The body laying down is disturbing. I would expect the military guy to all be dressed in desert ACUs but what about the pilots? Could that be Muldoon?
Great, I'm all worked up for next Monday. :tinfoil:
Hm, I wonder if the "If you can't run, you're done" rule will apply to CJ. If Scratch will be able to sneak into the colony, there might be a chance for a rather nasty déjà-vu at the hospital. :-S Well, it seems that Scratch finally succeeded in halving CJ's biological footprint.
We have seen one, the General at the outpost. he just got run-over by the hummer in the first season. And we only heard to stay away from Doctor areas.Quote:

I agree we all knew CJ was going to lose her leg. I mean when you think about plot lines, this episode puts us right in line with what we needed to know: We are attacking the little ones, Michael is still not liked at the Colony despite just saving them, CJ loses her leg (very soon), not a lot of supplies, and Amy got what she deserved.....
And I do agree with Tanya's choice. Amy was bad people, but so was Gatekeeper and Shovel-Face and they redeemed prior to the battle. I like the humane treatment of Amy allowing her to slip away vs. a bullet.
Food for thought: How horrible would it be to be writhing in pain on a hospital bed and hear someone say "They're turning!" I don't know which I'd want more: Kill me, or react slow enough to give me a chance in my second incarnation.

Had to turn my speakers on my laptop up to hear #1 but I did hear the word alive come from him (not sure on we're) followed by die 2nd that prompted the "you first" comment from Michael. I can't wait to see how this talking revelation plays into the later episodes as to future clues about the zeds and Ink's numbered guard.
All I can guess is things will get bloody (if not already for some individuals) next week. Just don't lose your leg in anticipation.
Yep, you're right. Too busy pooping my pants.Quote:

Come on, if Datu can take on a zombie, Witch_Doctor should be able to handle a ADLO with a saw-off in one hand and a bucket of Hot Buffalo wings in the other.Quote:

Victor: "... what if..."
Michael: "DATU! FIX! <Pressing F3>"
Datu: "Oookay, Michael"
Michael: "See? Done, relax."
What is this? Command & Conquer 3?
Note that it's pointing to Liberty park too, so isn't that "well within" the colony walls that someone is apparently gunned down? Just interesting to think about.Quote:

And the one that got on the roof of Locked'n'Loaded when burt made his first badass appearance. The tags from some lab or another....I too wonder about fleshing out this 'smart' ones thing. Although the smart ones still appear to be of the 'normal' class, just smarter....thats just my 2 cents thoQuote:

I thought too, but the smoke could be fromthe incendiary they used and remember that the mallers and colonies were having a shoot too. But still.....Quote:

Maybe Little One #1's "die, die" weren't a threat against them, but rather a plea for the soldiers to kill it.
Hope still doesn't know if her operation succeeded! Hopefully they'll let her take her bandages off in time for the finale.
"Datu, fix!" So concise, so powerful. If only Michael could learn to convey information as effectively. He did a horrible job of alerting Tanya when he saw that Amy was in the process of turning.
People who mess with Pegs don't fare well. Amy is dead, it looks like Bixby is dead too. That just leaves Scratch.
Chloroform call-back! Micheal is going to make some for CJ, kind of making up for forgetting to do so for Saul.
More deep sleep after close contact with zombies...this time Michael and Burt. Of course they're exhausted, so it could be a coincidence.
King Datu the Resourceful finds your lack of faith disturbing.Quote:

Yea, I just assume after the 'civil war' (if you will), there would've already been at least SOME body pick-up, and we wouldn't have the dead lining the streets, if nothing else, just to make sure none of them are dead from Zeds, and could possibly turn.....This could be circumvented by some quick headshots (with a knife to save ammo), to make sure they aren't turners, but I think the pick would be quite a bit more gruesome if that were the case. I find it highly unlikely to leave bodies strewn about, even in the panic, un-checked.Quote:

Hey, laugh if you want but it sure as sh** is hard to balance on one leg. Add crutches and we get a triangle and you balance your power!Quote:

Also a nice plot point I haven't seen here yet, we mention Dunbar to Michael finally. I think in an effort to keep 'small numbers' we're going to split up a bit once CJ comes too (her idea after michael gives her the intel). Send some people to Dunbar for supplies/guns, maybe a few to a safe house...etc. This is where the mallers come in, there has been mention of them knowing where Dunbar is on their way to the colony, so Scratch and a few are held up there, and as a small team of Pegs, Riley, Burt, and...I'll go with Puck (Michael's watchful eye over pegs) go to Dunbar, they have a run-in with Scratch.
Welcome to the club buddy....Waiting sucks, but it makes the 15-20 minutes so much more savoryQuote:

It seems to me that she might end up becoming the "mission control." It makes me think of what Michael said about Angel way back in chapter 2 or 3 (can't remember exactly). He said Angel was in charge of the overall mission while Michael was in charge of the execution. Sounds a hell of a lot like what we've all been saying about CJ: She can plan but fails in the execution. She seems perfectly suited to play the role of coordinating everyone from the Colony. Look at what she did during chapter 36 when she was coordinating everyone over the radio. Now that she's been hobbled permanently I think she's going to take on that role full time. I can just see it: CJ coordinates everyone over the radio and then goes off to swap missing appendage stories with Burt over a bottle of Jack and they talk about how much they want to kill Scratch.
Also we know that the colonists have bad blood for Michael, but they sure as hell fell into line when CJ started barking orders at them. I wonder if they might not be more inclinded to follow her instead of Michael. And does she end up trying to play peacemaker? Or will she try to assert that she's in charge? Lot's of possibilities. I don't think her role in the story is over just yet.
CBP, you always have insight.Quote:

Or that she'll be left alone to coordinate via radio and gets messed up where she can't defend herself.

I think CJ will orchestrate the division of people to keep numbers low and under Inks 6th sense radar leading to what I stated aboveQuote:
