Glad to hear Burt's voice.. He sounded down to me.
Datu will be around a couple more weeks.. Bet the next Chapter is Burt's story..

Puck get's to take command!
that was the highlight for me.
1.) We have a 'respite' for Michael-Victor-Datu as others visit
2.) Puck and the boys will be checkin' out Ink's pad
3.) Saul-Tanya-Burt have words (hopefully good vibes all around)
4.) Lizzy... the bun's about to be taken out of the oven
#3 is the 'hot bed' topic so we can learn about Burt-Riley thread, but believe it or not, i wanna follow Puck and the boys and write a cheesy 80's TV ballad for them.
Puck and the boys
goin' hunt'n, just shootin' for joys
grown men, not playin' with toys
Puck and the boys
KC you are officially forgiven from my previous anger, though I know you understand.
So Michael believes because he let Randy turn that the zombie is out to make his life miserable. Very human, though I wonder if Zom-Randy has that high on his list of motivations. I am glad we still have Datu for a little while, but still sad.
Also I am glad that Tanya is keeping an open mind rather than assuming immunity. She doesn't assume her and Saul are changing, but that remains a possibility and requires caution. Better Tanya take precautions against and be proved immune, rather than assume immunity and wake up a biter one night. Of course now I have the silly image of then chaining themselves in at night. Lizzie groans she is too tired with the baby for Saul's kinkiness as he tries to shush her to sleep...
Also...BURT IS BACK!!! I missed you! Can I have a hug? Or a punch? A one liner?
Also Puck is just as bad as me. I get the slightest illusion of power, it goes straight to my head.
I don't think Scratch having Riley captive is out of the realm of possibility, but if she is captured I doubt Burt would cooperate. He's too damn stubborn, and after months of having him captive, Scratch would know that. But I'm also thinking the whole "The Mallers have a captive" thing has been done 3 times now (Hannah, Lizzy, Burt and if you wanna count Angel too that makes four) so that idea might be played out. There's still a chance that Riley is there and just didn't speak in the scene (maybe she was parking the car). But yeah, it's definitely concerning.Quote:

Datu is gonna die. He has to. He WAS the weakest character, the most vulnerable and now he's completely flipped conquering most of his fears. I see him going out as a choice and a future self sacrifice in a big way. It will be an emotional affair.
I don't know if the Randy story ends with just him subconsciously resenting Michael in zombie mode. I still don't understand why he was holding the protein juice.
I still think the shopping list is some kind of alchemy symbols. That the whole gas from ground zero is some archaic science project/borderline Egyptian witchcraft.
I also think Victor will get the chance to redeem himself with Michael.
Burt will have some sort of insight on their current events and help direct Tanya with her research. He must of ran into something important enough to inform them.
And man, I am hoping that Vic is better at handling a .50 cal than at dancing.

Re: Datu, Tanya & Saul
I have this horrible image stuck in my head. A friend told me about a Russian Cosmonaut, who knowing he wasn't going to survive reentry read his instrument readings all the way down as long as he could (bravery). Granted that was (might be) real and this is fiction, but da@*it! I want the calvary! A post infection vaccination! Fairies! Something!
What, if quite the opposite takes place. There would be a certain irony in it, if this happens:Quote:

The door opens, and Scratch enters, all cool and shit.
Burt: We decided, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. A truce, if you must...
Scratch: Yeah, let's fuck 'zombies together. I have the important information, you have the guns and men. Together we can end this shit. That's the the deal.
...
Or something more elaborate with the similar result ...
This just sounds... wrong. Never ever.Quote:

Before that and after his rescue he always was mentally stronger than most others, because he not only tried to survive like anyone else, but he also had hope for a better future ...Quote:

Burt introduced the enemy-enemy-friend phrase; and this topic was not part of this show yet, or was it? So I wouldn't exclude this as an option, how unlikely it may seem even to me...Quote:

Nice episode. The Michael - Datu conversation/promise was good. I especially like Datu's "I've always done for other people" speech. Although, I'll admit that the more agitated Datu sounded the more I though "This is it, he's about to go zombo and Michael's gonna shoot him!"
I've got a bad feeling about splitting the forces here. Puck and the other soldiers headed out without Michael has me wondering if we won't see a single soldier return and, right before he turns/dies, we get a story of how they got ambushed and whacked. Maybe by Mr Ink himself..... As much as I love Puck and Robbins, I think one of them ain't gonna make it. And since Robbins seems to be the better journaling dude, there's a good chance it could be Puck.
The scene with Saul and Tanya had me all tensed up. I realized that the music in the background throughout most of their interchange was what was doing it! Damn fine sound design and choices.... That subtle effect mixed with their discussion had me waiting for something to just go "Boo!". Very nice touch!
Burt! Good to hear that voice again, for sure. And where is Riley? Not sure. Part of me says that Riley is outside on watch while Burt reconed the place. Now that they now it is "Safe", Burt will call Riley in. There is another part of me, and it's the bigger part right now (that sounds bad), that is saying we are about to get a Burt flashback telling of the hunt for, and ultimate encounter with, Scratch. This will end with Riley and Scratch both being dead. It will be an epic tale.
Still wondering about Randy's real role. Michael flat out stating that he thinks Randy is just trying to make his life miserable is an interesting statement. Could be Kc putting a flag in the ground and telling us, indirectly, about Randy's role. Or it could be Kc throwing the red herring into the forest to draw the dogs off the trail.... Hmmmm.....
More thoughts when I get a chance for another listen.
I'm glad someone caught that. There's still something that most people have missed in the last two chapters. Oh well...Quote:

does it seem to anyone else that datus accent seems to be going away? That's the one thing that has really jumped out at me lately. I know jay has altered it slightly as the storylines progressed, but this somber datu has little to no accent.
Woop, 5 points to me! Now i must listen to the last episodes and find the hidden reference...Quote:

Yeah, but I always thought it was due to Jay Olegario's improvement with English. I could have sworn that I read that English wasn't his first language and that he was still learning it when his roll started. Now I see that he was born in NJ and raised in California.Quote:

Saul was BEGGING to help. He has come through in the past, when others doubted that he could help. Case, in point, his idea to tag the zombies with trackers when Micheal and Angel were trying to figure out how to find where the zombies were taking their dead. I thought he was going to recognize something important in the symbols on the 'shopping list.' It is interesting that the symbols were brought back up.
In fact, Tanya laid out a list of 'What we know so far' : Gas from Ground Zero, Some people turn slow, K-18 seems to be measure. Follistatin seems important for some reason.
But with each of these, there is a "But what about?" exception: How can she test the gas? Are Saul & Tanya turning or resistant or immune? Why does their K-18 level fluctuate? Datu says he feels he's changing but Saul & Tanya can't say the same. WTF is Follistatin? Looks like we're gonna have to wait for more clues.
Well, I tried to help Datu with the pump and that did not go so well. But, Tanya might want to test for phosphate. Fungi, virus and Bacteria will have it. She might not be able to get them to grow, but if she does not find Phosphate, then she does not have a life form. It could still be a prion, or a chemical, but without phosphate, it is not life as we know it, but that just begs the question was it spewing fungus or virus or flying squid at some other time...
End of a chapter listening to all three time!
