Rabbits are tasty, as long as that is not ALL you eat. You can actually starve yourself to death just eating rabbit. It is also called Protein poisoning. Good thing they have chickens! :)Quote:

And, it can be useful. If it is a doe it will provide goat's milk, and it will keep any grass trimmed down.
My brother had several goats before, and has said the best dog he ever had was a goat...But his was not named "Dog."
That said in defense of Burt, the thought of him playing with a goat had me Rolling and laughing. I had to pause the show.
That needs to be the next Photo shoot. :nik:
Hmmm, another new looking Behemoth, thats also covered in Tattoo's......wonder what it could be.... If it looked like it was covered in tree bark, it probably was keratin overgrowth, like Tanya said.
i'm all over that concept!Quote:

So how long before we see/hear Burt's Twisted metal truck?
Wait... if the shopping list that Randy dropped was really a coded address, does that mean Randy was trying to HELP our heroes find Ink?!
Oh god, Datu can understand the zombie glyphs.....But what was that pain he experienced? His brain changing to understand the glyphs?
God damn, what an amazing GLYPH hanger...... get it? ba dum dum tssssh
Maybe he just accidently left it behind: the list was there before they arrived at Raydon, after Randy was there, and after they found the chemicals from RandyQuote:

We have speculated that the line from Chapter 1, now that Riley has warned them in their own language, they probably understood that crap was prophetic/foreshadowing.
Kimment says the only way to detect the infection is by autopsy. We have speculated that, this must be a change in the brain morphology. If there was a change in another organ, we can cut someone open and check with some surgery. But, brain surgery is still in its infancy and people do not fare well when we start cutting there.
Did the little ones ever really say something? If we have some people infected and some not nfection, they might hear it differently. So, just like us, was that a ghostbusters EVP or just wishfull thinking.
We get to Datu, what he writes down after the first attack and when he tells the story to Michael, Randy's (?) speech changes in the different chapters. Seems like as Datu had more time to think about it and gets a better understanding out of it as the "infection" progresses.
Even the statement of Tanya to Saul, you cannot turn a frog back into a tadpol. Maybe she saw the beginnings of these changes in Wendy's brain morphology.
WE really did not see anything at the Raydon Labs location that would warrant a level three ID. We have speculated that there is a second facility somewhere that held the big bad stuff. Remember, Michael said the first ones he saw were bruised and scared. That does not describe the general populace. Led some of us to speculate they were escapees from somewhere.
so im honestly not awake enough to really start digging into the whole episode, but...
holy crap am I feeling vindicated for my crackpot ideas right about now..
I told ya, but nobody wanted to listen...
Yes, anyone remember this poor man?Quote:

He eventually had treatment to remove most, if not all of it.
Also, Tanya mentions the condition she's seen in rabbits (It's called Shope Papilloma virus)
Attachment 3073 Which is the basis for the Jackalope legend.
Forgot to mention..
Saul had a Voice over. So does that mean anything about his survival? Its been awhile since we heard one from him.. It throws out my theory if he dies.
Since I still think the people still doing active voice overs survive this..
No one besides Viktor knows Tanya and Saul might be infected.Quote:

Commenting before reading all the pages of commentary, noob mistake number one, but hey guys, I haven't been on in months. And I have a meeting to go to, and I'm the scribe for the meeting minutes so I can't even fake it and read through all of these, so the first page will have to do for now, sorry if I re-iterate someones comments already madeQuote:

Now the symbols on Ink that Datu can read? I think Kc has grounded us in some sort of reality, so a 'turned only' language is far fetched. The symbols are biblical, I'm talkin old-world/old-testament shit: ARAMAIC. Datu didnt just take night classes for some plumbing repair...he's a linguistics master and a devout catholic.....Or, you know, his native land had some aborginal tribes using similar symbols that he learned a bit about in some history classes growing up, so he recognizes them. This doesnt guarantee Datu's survival, in fact I think he's going to die immdiately. This will leave us to all "guess" the language and spend a few days scavenging libraries in the phillipines history sections.
I stand by some earlier claims I made long long ago. Ink learned of some pre-historic shit, perhaps spoken about in phillipine history. He knew there was this world-wide quake/rupture of haze coming up at some point, and had become obsessed with preserving the human race (or something) through it and tried to modify US to survive it, rather than fight it. So we cope and prevail...but throw in some insanity, obsession, and getting affected by the haze himself, and you've got a recipe for some messed up shit.
I mean, Kalani even said "the ones on the island were even meaner"...we still never address that, and only say these 'special' ones are in LA. So, perhaps there's some aboriginal inks out there as well with not as much chemsitry knowledge running their own personal armies to a similar degree to be noted as 'meaner'.
That's all I got, time for a meeting. Missed all you guys, wish I had the time to read chapters of discussion and catch up, but this will have to do.
Major cliffhanger or what?!
I'm gonna have a read through everyone's theories, then pop back with my own two cents :tinfoil:
Tony, we are going need a card for "Dog" :)Quote:

Therefor I have to say that I find it highly unlikely that Datu is suddenly able to comprehend the language while the others do not even find at least some patterns within the symbol pattern.
But on the other side, maybe Ink uses just a sophisticated QR Code.

Absolutely! We can add him to the animal collection along with Lady, Mr Whiskers, Mr Moo-urn's calf and Saul's chicken. :nik:Quote:

This plot is somewhat resembling another book I read that has to do with monsters, painted symbols, and a man covered head to toe in tattoos...
It is an ancient language. We hashed that out with the symbols before. Some are ancient Egypt to some feel are angelic. Maybe some of it is primitive before a real spoken language. could be why they moan and groan and scream..LOL... Who knows what is going on in KC's mind.. I was being funny about ancient aliens but I still think its something archaic. Something he some how knew about, was coming. From old books, tablets, scrolls, etc.. This is what is awesome about this podcast.. When you think you may have it figured out. KC throws us for a loop.
I wondering if there were a way to cover the tattoo would the zombie attack Ink? Maybe a can of paint Home Alone style?
My guess on the new behemoth.... Tat'd up as he is phase 2. My guess is that Ink worked on ppl outside the jail that was not as freaking nuts/anti-social. This was on of them. Ink couldn't tattoo the ones in the jail up because they were mean as crap. These are more docile and easier to study.
I will say this. If the Zeds have some kinda language that they learn when they are turned (Not taught. I would be ok with that, but just bite and learn) I will be pissed. Not upset. Not disliking. Pissed. Mainly because it goes against the tone that has been set from day one. The Zeds are biological in nature. They make sense within the world and are plausable. Thus why we don't have flying Zeds and multiheaded hydras and what ever else. No mind powers or Matrix stuff. Just biologocal and focused. Thicker bones, pumping more blood via changed heart, ect. To have a change that makes you have a language just appear in your head to read goes to the Supernatural. I am ok with the Occult symbols on Ink b/c it is just symbols. Religious stuff. He has never called down the rain and fire from the sky. No different than ppl tattooing crosses and such to themselves. If now we introduce a Magic element to this thing in the last half of the last season.. I will go WTF. At this time I will give KC my trust. Nothing has happened so far that I have not been ok with. Even finding out Bill Roberts and Ink are the same when I thought it was crap (I had to use a new keypad at work and took like 5 trys to get it right... so I gave KC a pass on Ink having an issue when I thought it was stuid at the time) I was ok with in time. So.. I will be patient.
That being said.....
Datu is the only person in the whole show that has been shown to be religious. He lead the prayers when the tower was falling, burying Glenn, ect. Only other time I can think of is Angel made a one off comment about "Its been a long time since Catholic School". Thats it. No one else. Always Datu.
My guess is that Datu knows the church. That it is in his native tongue or from his background.
That's an interesting question, especially given that we don't know of any other zeds that have glyph tattoos other than Ink and Randy. Even the Little Ones only had the numbers, which cannot mean much of anything other than numeration, so why the big guy with tats? What could the tats mean??Quote:

I like the idea of a turned-only language, even if it is far fetched. I'm super into linguistics, so Datu's being able to read this stuff intrigues the hell out of me, and I can't wait to find out the reason. At first I thought that the address was just in Latin, and Datu could of course read it because, being a practicing Catholic, he knows at least a bit of Latin. However, I missed that the address was in symbols and not in the Latin alphabet.Quote:

I haven't really been keeping up with the forum lately, so I don't know if someone has already posted something like this. If they did, apologies. If not, take a look.

As far as I know, we don't have solid evidence that the glyphs act as magical wards that COMMAND Zeds to do this or that. Sure, Ink has all the tats, but to assume that he has done that to control the other Zeds might be a leap in logic...
