Oh and Pete and Max become Randy lunch as the little ones take out the water tower. (New ZED gets trapped under the rubble)
Added point of interest, Why would so many of the Zombies go to Cain General when Burt, Angel, Riley, and Kalani showed up? My guess is that another enterance (maybe the first one) is there.
sorry if there is any spoilers here.
a friend of mine at work were talking about the ending and here is what we came up with.
there is 2 possible endings that one would depend on the other.
first one. Burt and Riley survive the finial ending where about 90% of the characters die. They then head out to find scratch which start KC new series. where there will be cameo rolls from the 10% that lived. and Riley tells Burt that Angel knew that She was a lesbian. ( at the 4th of July party, where angel was going to hit upon Riley and when she told him, that is why he was drinking so much and throw up in the bathroom and on himself.) thus a cameo from Shane Salk.
the second one is a little more strange than that.
remember at the beginning when Micheal said he never feared death until he realized what was on the other side. what is really happening is that Micheal is dieing in a hospital bed after being exposed to some gas in Iraq, and all this that has been happening was his hallucinations from the gas. all the people that are in the pages are people he meet in his life time, ( Pegs= high school or college sweetheart that ended badly. Victor = a fellow soldier that was also exposed. Tanya= medical doctor in the hospital where he is being treated, Kalani = the medivac chopper pilot.etc.....) in other almost another LOST.
if you think about it. there was some references made to that series.
Michael hallucinating from poison gas is way too much like "Jacobs Ladder" I don't think KC is a fan of dream sequences either, they are too much of a cop out. KC also loves to rage about "Lost" screwing up the ending.
Now almost everyone dying is a very strong possibility
I wont go super heavy into the LOST debate. We've beat that horse enough.
its fully possible to have a "lost-esque" ending to this story, and do it the right way. I'll remind all of you that a small part of what sparked KC to do this project was how the creators butchered the last season, and how he thought he could do that type of story better (hopefully I'm not putting words in your mouth, boss :nik: )
Michael Survives.. It will be at the point where Michael started narrating in the first Chapter then it will end.
this is the "lost-esque" ending I like. Michael is the only survivor, and he's covered himself in symbols. Really bring the "I never feared..." line full circle.Quote:

I just had another awful thought about the ending..
The story is a Novel. We are hearing it play out as the author writes the book.
At the end. We hear a type writer or keyboard taps as Michael's narrative fades out, an in KC's voice, as he types, He says "The End."
And as Kc finishes printing the script, he see's the glow of fire from the giant mob carrying pitchforks and torches....Quote:

This can be countered in several ways.
Armor
Further increase the armor to defeat the bullets. We got a glimps of this with the treeomuth. This mechanism can protect, but lacks offensive measures against the chopper. Trying to get close enough to hold on is more a lottery ticket than a viable stratagem.
Stealth / cover / concealment
Stay hidden. Our heroes have pretty much only shown direct fire weapons. It is much harder to hit what cannot be seen. They have not used anything like mortars. Artillery or carpet bombing. Many of us have speculated that there has been several times where the little ones were "nearby" watching when they were much smaller. Working below ground also exploits this. The Germans of World War 2 called this Rattenkreig when they encountered it at Stalingard. The Russians would use the Sewars and tunnels to suddenly appear and ambush. We have also encountered this several times. However, once the attack is initiated, they still have to deal with ranged weapons. It sure would be nice if Ink had something that could attack while not presenting a part of the body that can result in a lethal wound. Long tentacles like Saul's squid could do this. If a limb is damaged the unit may become combat ineffective, but still able to retreat.
Greater mobility.
Underground, increased burrowing speed. To not just use the existing tunnels, but make new ones. On the surface, think super Jumpers. Jump from building to building like the hulk in the Avengers. Might be able to get to the chopper when it is off the ground. Even better, a flyer. Jumping has the disability that it is not very easy to change direction once initiated. Flying is something that goes deep into the human psyche. A very desirable superpower in humans and evolution. Clams, starfish, crabs, sea cucumbers are stuck on hard surfaces. Fish learned to swim and open up true three dimensional movement. This is so advantageous that it has naturally evolved independently in diverse lineage of animals. Insects, birds, mammals each did it independently.
Increased range
Thrown weapons. A frog's tongue. It allows attacking from cover and surprise. Hell, even throwing a normal biter.
Redundant command / sensory organs
Going all the way back to Chapter one.
Saul: "They are not going down"
Michael: "Aim for the head"
Multiple heads counter this
Later, in season one, Riley gets a bullseye, literally. By Season two, they start trying to cover their eyes while attacking. Increased survivability, but decreased efficiency. Multiple heads is probably a bridge too far, but multiple eyes is doable.
Last, many have noticed similarity to the Bible. One of the beasts has several heads and the body of a lion. The Devil comes in the shape of a dragon and is slain by Michael with a sword.
Michael? Check!
Sword? Check!
Dragon? Stay tuned...

Go Pegs!!
There is only an hour and a half or so left in the series. I think we all know that KODI is not going to humdedum down the tunnel ank Kaboom Ink et.al. Is there an enough time to do justice to the death of Ink, Randy, the new thing, number 3 and 7 (?) and Scratch in addition to whatever casualties befall the remaining characters?
If there is one thing I have learned about storycraft is that it is hard to come up with good villains. We're Alive may be a complete 4 season story, but the intellectual property is fertile enough to generate additional stories. Therefore, I hope KC does not kill off all the villains.
Scratch is an omnipresent threat with the best planning, executing, and adaptive skills in the story. I would feel very comfortable with the ending of the Scratch Arc with the death of Tardust. It fits her very well. That threat is still out there. Kill Scratch and piss a whole bunch of fans. Let her engage in combat and then escape would piss off even more.
I would leave the enigma alone. Scratch is still out there. Waiting...
I'm stupid and i don't have a clue how Kc will wrap this amazing series off. However, i'm going to reiterate my theory i've had the whole season:
Scratch mortally wounds Pegs, and dies in Michael's arms. Then either Michael or Burt confronts Scratch, and engage in fistycuffs until Scratch is ended.
Also feel like Riley will get a chance to kill Scratch, but will chicken out of it....
Uhm....I predict Pegs, however which way they end up there, that she has the gun to Scratches head. In this moment we hear how/why she does not like guns, regardless of her skill in using them, and does/or does not blow Scratch away....Then comes in Burt to skull-fuk that bitch!!!
( I said about 3 years ago that in her past she killed someone by accident with a gun, hence her apprehension....I'd love to see this answered)
ok last episode I had a theory on how the last one is going to be. I revised my theory just a bit. its not going to end like Lost. as I hear that KC didnt how lost ended. its going to end like the Sopranos. KC will leave all of us wondering who died and who survived. (if anybody) however, I feel that Burt and Riley are going to. they will be too late getting back and they will only see Scratch leaving the scene of the crime. That's is where KC's new story begins.
however, if Riley doesn't make it. I think Angel will come to her, in her last moments; right before Burt puts a bullet in Scratches head.
Post your predictions here. I'll post the discussion thread a few days before the live event.
I only briefly looked and I looked in the wrong place. I've moved your thread here now.Quote:

They really are. I don't think the series will end with some sort of big blow-up that kills a bunch of zombies. But we all know that at this point, Scratch is probably more dangerous than they are.
Mr Whiskers's gonna show up as Catzilla. It'll infect Lady making her mutate into Lassylla. And then both will eat the zombs, stampede the human remains and rule over what is left of the world. Too bad that the zombie-agent's mutate in a way that it'll affect Catzilla and Lassylla hardly fathomable. Then Cthulhu will awake, will eat them both, and will unleash total mayhem on Earth's face. And because Azathoth does not like what Cthulhu does, he will implode the universe and the existence itself. And out of the blue pops Chuck Norris roundhouse-kicking Azathoth in his arse and re-awakening Earth and human civilization with a sole drop of his sweat.
And since Chuck Norris is so awesome, Scratch will return with a sawed off version of a minigun directly pointed at Care-Pegs' face; and when she happens to pull the trigger, Burt will be right in the place and make true what he said on the roof of the Cain Hospital: he has another purpose to fulfill; so he saves Pegs' sorry bottom, gets killed, and Riley will avenge Lizzy and Angel by arrowing Scratch to death with a head-shot so awesome that it dwarfs anything seen in any computer-game so far. In the meantime the trio with six fists, aka Michael, Saul, Victor (in the order of the alphabet), go all tag-team WWF-style against Ink, chewing bubblegum and singing Mexican folk-songs; and since they enjoy it so much, they will give Ink a tripple Lambada with Victor being so ultra-coooool that Ink starves from frostbrand in an instant ... Too bad this won't work against the new bread of Little Ones stampeding the Trio to death. And Michael, lucky bastard, will survive this onslaught with only his other arm broken and neither knowing nor caring how he got out of this hell-hole alive - again ...
Afterwards the rest of them will survive happily ever after and not knowing what to do anymore, 'cause Kc has shut down the studio way too early ...
That's what I predict.
Ok my obsessing over the nature of evil in black and whites has finally paid off allowing me to decode the ending!
You see, Scratch is going to be revealed to working for the true villain of the series. The one who has been giving orders to Roberts this entire time. The most vicious, bloodthirsty and powerful being in the We're Alive universe. Hiding in the shadows, but we fans know who is really pulling the strings. Mr Whiskers, the fearsome feline!
Or Mr Whiskers has been manipulating Scratch as well as the main cast. Clearly this cat has it in for Pegs, trying to get her killed in her first appearance and luring her into an explosion during the War. Plus I have my suspicions of what Mr Whiskers was planning while in the guard room with Pegs. Plus, right after the explosion that Mr Whiskers lured Pegs to, she shoots Latch (John), which sets Scratch up to kill Pegs. What if Mr Whiskers purposely arranged this? Plus, as Saul observed how fat Mr Whiskers has gotten, he has been doing just fine out in the city, despite flesh-eaters all around. Perhaps his dual-coloured fur just happens to have a shape resembling a rainbow with three lines?
So after Scratch successfully kills Pegs and the rest, Mr Whiskers reveals himself, guns down all of the survivors, including Scratch (cats can use guns!!!) and then proceeds to smother baby Nicholas. After Roberts is killed in a vicious battle where Michael and the rest have to sacrifice themselves in order to stop him, Mr Whiskers is left in command of the zombie hordes. Then we shall have Michael Swann give the last great reveal of the series! Mr Whiskers first name!
I have decoded everything!
Priceless
.....Is it weird I kind of want this to happen? Even if it was a fan-fic......Quote:

my predication is as follows...
Scratch finds Nicholas and holds him for a FINAL confrontation with Pegs... with a 20% probability of running away with Nicholas and raising him to hate his father...
Michael sacrifices himself and kills the underground lair of Ink and his newest creations.
Victor and Saul lip back to a destroyed Dunbar to find most of the supplies burned and the base unsafe. Collect who and what they can and become nomads/scavengers.

i'm thinking:
michael survives, he's the opening of the story.
kelly survives (she is the official transcriber he mentions in one of the eps)
pegs: goner
saul: survives
tanya: survives (i dunno if saul can take another loss)
burt: sacrifices himself (probably for riley)
riley: she seems to be nihilism mode right now, off the deep end. possibly a goner, but her arc will probably lead her to
redemption... she is definitely facing off with scratch.
scratch: goner. she's been set up to be taken out, and we only got a glimpse of her past, and
we didn't get her history with angel, and i dunno if that will ever be revealed in just an hour of audio.
victor: one of my faves, but i think goner.
hope: survive
ink: he will be a goner, he's basically the master vampire.
skittles: like a roach!
