God damnit. She's finally back. And within sight of the colony....
SCRATCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D
I'm giddy as a school girl now....Bring on next monday!!!
Damn, can't wait till next episode. It is definitely going to be an intense chapter
Already anticipating the sob-fest that's going to be Datu's final goodbye.
That'd be the first time then... Other than the conversations between Scratch and Latch back in S1... Unless Saul had really awesome listening skills, which I think people have already talked about elsewhere....
This time there's no Bricks to tell Lizzy about what's happened... So either Scratch does it, which I doubt, or Tardust will do it, which I still kinda doubt, but find more likely...
I guess we'll have to wait and see...
I just... just ... had... oh... my...

Scratch is back, oh yeah, baby!
I was thinking the exact same thing. Saul starts making plans "just in case" and seals his fate.
It's happened once before, with the soldiers that got attacked before pick up: the same ones that brought the little ones to Boulder. None of them were righting a journal for the survivors, but it was allowed anyway...
Edit: And then Kc just saying it will somehow be explained.....hm...
That event is narrated by Michael and gives the caveat that this is reconstructed to be his best guess representation of what happened
I believe Scratch has a radio that she may had pick-up on the way out. She has no idea about the soldiers or the prison from the way she said it's not the soldiers as if she still think they are alive. The battery are almost drain and she is try to to find the freq kinda of fuel that idea. If that was the prison one they would have know about the prison incident and have heard some of the conversation til CJ switch it.
I've always thought that the "Who's Reading the Journals?" question to be an poorly warranted assumption. Sure, the story is TOLD via journals and via people connected to journal writers, but it's a big jump to say that the story is revealed through someone READING the journals.
EDIT: I understand your question now. Good point! Please don't be an alliance!!! (Witch Doctor Flips Table :mad:)
You guys are reading too much into the narration. So what, I should think that Scratch is gonna eventually join the group because none of our heroes witnessed her scene with Tar?
The narration is just an invisible floating camera that shows us the story. Trying to interpret things based on this 'camera' is just all tin hat stuff..
There was, CJ and Micheal made up and even got an invite to Dunbar.
You are right that she may have heard something, then the signal was lost and she says she knows they are talking...
Now, if I was Burt, I would not have allowed the radio to change until after I gave the address of the tanker and set a trap for Scratch for when she came to set up her own...
Just a spin on the Midway / AF real life event. Or, less like, if we go by the book hours would seem like days from wrath of Khan
We already know who is reading the journals anyways so I don't even know why this is an issue..... Skittles collects all the journals after everyone is dead and goes back to his new house puts on his smoking jacket and makes a Mimosa and reads the journals to us! Case Closed! :nik:
I think that Datu maybe the one to take out Scratch. He lead her away to a church and be his last act.
This rule continues to be broken every episode that CJ remains alive..... but it wasn't specifically broken in THIS episode...... it is a continuation of a previous break. O_o
Please Please Scratch...... Finish the Job!!!!
Now that Scratch is back, where is Osiris?

Alright, so here's my thoughts on the episode:
The whole conversation about the behemoths in the jail basically fell in line with what I was thinking. They were the initial test subjects before Ink moved on to the more successful little ones. I'm not sure if leaving those things locked up is the best course of action. I've got a feeling that those things are gonna end up breaking out and wreaking some havoc before all is said and done.
Splitting the party:
Usually a bad plan. Especially since now we know that Scratch has been staking out the Colony since the Mallers fled and is waiting for an opportunity. Once the numbers advantage is gone, she's got her opening. But CJ's got a point. Without the resources to sustain a large group, they're better off splitting off into more manageable groups. Plus from a story standpoint it makes sense. It's time to focus in on the main cast for the final stretch and sending off all the extra people is a good way to get our core group all together and on the same page.
Scratch's return:
How long had ol' Scarface been there staking out the Colony? Was she there the whole time Burt and Riley were out chasing after her? Good way to show the "needle in a haystack" futility of Burt and Riley's hunt. Go off scouring L.A. for Scratch only for her to be hunkered down right where they started looking.
The other question is: what is she planning? I find it hard to imagine that she has another ace up her sleeve like the RPG, but I wouldn't put it past her. Even with most of the colonists scattering, it still leaves her and Tardust alone against the main cast at Dunbar. It's gonna be hard to take them on without something to give her an edge.
This episode is FULL of ominous hints (Read as :tinfoil:)
Ominous 'hints' in this episode:
-Saul asks Victor to take care of his family if something happens to him. (His luck about to run out?)
-The group begins to break apart. The core group to stay at Dunbar.
-C.J. orders that he encryption keys for the radios be changed. Tardust mentions needing a code to eavesdrop on their radio transmissions.
-Yeah, the return of Tardust and Scratch. Uber ominous.
-The first batch to leave the Colony is taking a lot of medical supplies. Therefore, Tanya requests that OB-GYN medical supplies be found. (Why is this ominous? Whenever they search for something, the poop hits the fan. Also, more important. Tanya states early in this episode that she doesn't know where Ink makes the LITTLE ONES. Yep, they start out small! One of those pediatric medical places is going to be Ink's INKLING FACTORY!)
Hey, what about the other titles on the poll? They're here, No Way out and Land of the Blind? Sounds like ominous hint of things to come.
"Michael, I respect you enough to include you in this conversation."
WTF?
Randy the rogue? If Ink was abandoning the Behemoth project then why was Randy fetching roid-rage juice?
Possible reasons could be that he was getting them for the BIGGER, STRONGER, MORE ABSORBENT Inklings.
Or
He was making his own behemoths to counter Ink. (I'm not a fan of this line of thought because Tanya hints that the problem with the Behemoths could be behavioral. They were the baddest of the bunch in jail.)
The big ironic footnote of this episode might be that Burt will not be anything but close to Scratch in part 2 and 3.
And the big question occurs, why should we listen to episode 44 and onwards after Scratch has finished shaving her legs, puts some new clothes on and kills everyone at the colony?
Favorite quote from this episode: "There comes a time when thing fall apart. I want to control where the pieces land." - C.J. I've got to use this.
