I'm still pretty stunned and most likely will be for awhile. But...well, wow. It's sad to see Lizzy and Datu go, but their send off was amazingly well done. It's nice to see a writer actually put some emotional investment into character deaths (I'm still bitter about the HIMYM ending). Datu's end was particularly fitting, going out in the same place Samantha died. And he got to have his moment of peace before he went. As for Lizzy, once again, way to rip our hearts out Kc!
And thanks to Jay and Blair for their performances. Not only in this episode but in the series as a whole. One of the things that makes us love this show is the investment in the characters. Both how their written and the performances that bring them to life. And that combination really does make it feel like these people are real and makes us all care about their stories.
Damn, I think this is the first time I've ever been glad for a chapter break. I'm gonna need that extra week to recover.
...I don't even want to imagine how these first 30 minutes of the baby's life has damaged it... Loud gunshots, screams, lot of movement, blood, action........Can't be good for such a Little guy...Or anyone, now we're at it...
The Winter isn't coming... We're already in the middle of a blizzard... (Yes, I just started reading A Song Of Ice & Fire)
Heartbreaking.
ok ... what do we have?
- Nicholas - a powerful name according to wikipedia. The name for the "Victory of the People" ... Interesting choice, Kc, er, Saul ...
- R2Da2 resigned; and Lizzy made the Leia - at least half way through. Both deaths strike me as expected to a certain degree, maybe too early for my taste. But the signs were all up for many episodes already, so, yeah, maybe I just wanted to realize it.
- The chopper still has the mini-gun.
- Them zombos went to Cain Hospital - agail. Why? Did they have some'thing' as a scout or lookout checking for any activity?
- Considering the trouble Lizzy, Kelly, Tanya, Saul, and Nicholas were in, they were pretty quick getting up all the stairs with a horde of zombs on their tails. I wonder what made the zombs move so slowly. We know them performing much better in hunting prey.
- In contrary to some serious expectations Ink was not able to get hold of Nicholas. Not yet? Or won't he anyway? Just 4 more chapters to go. I don't see anything like it happening currently.
- Michael and Victor are down there. And Victor mentioned something that made me shiver ... Something like this: "It's only two ways out. If they ..."
And this combines well with CJ's word: "He is out of range." And with Datu's "too many" regarding the number zeehs I am not certain, if Michael and/ or Victor will make it.
And yet I see it coming that both of them will me Ink in person, and something similar to what happened between Riley, Burt, and Ink might happen again ... I hope this sentence makes some sense ...
- The chopper is damaged! And no R2Da2 available to fix it ... Luckily it keeps flying - for now.
- CJ is a lucky bitch. Now Ms Captain Ahab has a new chance to get Saul (back) ...
- With the chopper flying back to the Colony Pegs and Scratch will have their Mortal Combat ReLoaded ...
Best wishes!

P.S. I sad now.
Babies are resiliant little things. There are some definite beneifts in not being able to comprehend what is going on around you.Quote:

I had a sickening feeling it would end like that.. I knew Datu would die this episode. But I did not really think Lizzy would die.
Will Drink a Beer to those 2 tonight.. RIP DATU and Lizzy.. Man this just sucks.. I am all depressed now. Productivity for this afternoon will be negative.
Gonna go shed a tear now..

Ok now I had a moment to clear my vision..
3 Important things I picked up.
1. Muscle Relaxer will stop a Behemoth. Maybe find some tranquilizer guns and keep them handy with the powerful stuff.
2. Michael Still narrated.. So he at least makes it out of the Arena alive.. Still holding out hope for Victor.
3. The array for the radios was down. It was not the rain causing interference. Was it the storm, Ink or Scratch that took it out..
They could only escape from the roof.Quote:

i can see the "it takes a village" theme play out, with Kelly, Pegs, Tanya, etc taking turns watching Nicholas, but as far as companionship goes for Saul, i can see them (CJ) eventually getting together. i can almost guarantee NOT in the actual storytelling but leaving it open for the possibility and a mutual attraction.
Man. This was a really really rough one. KC and co did such a good job. Even the way it was paced out. To have Datu and Lizzy go right at the same time (from our view at least) was really powerful. The also both went out in a very symbolic way in multiple areas. Datu dieing where his heart died so long ago (Death), and Lizzy dieing bringing a child into the world (Life). Just symbols after symbols. Damn it was good.
Really glad they addressed the Little Ones again. I just got a buddy into the show about a month back that is a Nurse and a Science dude. He pitched me the idea of the rapid aging. Like Progeria. Just controlled. Progeria may not be exact, but you get the idea. Makes sense to me.
Not as much info besides the Characters expressing what a lot of our thoughts are. Sometimes you need stuff like this though. Just good storytelling all around. KC said to just hang in there and it will pay off. So far I am on board. Can't wait until we hear from Ink. My guess is that there will be a meeting in the Arena between Ink and Michael to set up the final event.
Before the end credits rolled, I thought to myself: What an astounding performance by Nikvoodoo as little Nicolas.
Everything else can be summed up as ... uffff.
Quick question, how do you feed a baby if the mother isn't there?Quote:

Baby Formula or Powder Milk. Maybe some Goats milk if there are any..Quote:

So all of that stuff just happened......... very sad times indeed.
I think there are a lot of underlying things in this episode that have not yet been fully realized due to the 2 major things that happened.......
I think there was definately something to the fact that the baby was given to CJ, We know that CJ cares about Saul, and I can see those 2 forming a bond and becoming a family....
I think KC did justice to Datu by allowing him to have his final moments and leave us in the presence of Samantha!!!
We found out that by injecting the mothers Ink kept the little ones from developing the tumors..... We also learned that the little ones possibly have an elevated growth rate.....
The zombies headed back to Cain..... Why?? Does Ink know that a child was being born? Why does he care??? Is it possible that Saul's immunity will transfer to Nicholas??
You can actually induce lactation without ever being pregnant. Maybe someone volunteers as wet nurse?Quote:

Pegs should be constantly flying the chopper.shes kinda awesome then.
hats off to Nate.
this face> :( =two weeks
Maybe the reason the infected were moving so slow is because Ink wants the child for his new series of experiments. Treehemoth was trying to stop them from leaving, but if he had wanted to he should have been able to tear the chopper apart.
I forgot about Dog.. Could be why they have a Goat.. KC is setting it up.. But I do not recall if they said if it was female or male.Quote:

Tanya again?
I really want to listen to the episode again but then I think that's morbid because I know what's going to happen and why would I do that to myself???
Thanks everybody for pulling this off and making a fan out of me.
