Also as a side-note:
Many of us enjoyed Kc's writing and storytelling which connects elements from the past, making each one a blast from the past. And this happened so many times, especially in the last parts of #48 ...
Mr Whiskers, "out-fucking-standing", the evolution of the Mata-Gun are the ones that made me grin from ear to ear.
And all in all I really enjoyed the (for me) totally unexpected evolution and revolution of the stories being told ...
Best wishes!
Liam
Spoiler:
If I heard correct, the college teacher, from episode 1, survived it all! Wonder where he hid?
I don't have a ton of analysis at the moment, just wanted to say that I'm really glad I was able to get to the finale Saturday. It was great to meet some of the cast and forum posters, and the finale episode itself was incredibly satisfying. Nothing too cute, no weird departures from what made this series great, it was just a terrific send-off to this whole experience. Congratulations to KC and the cast and crew for pulling all of this off, and the incredible growth in interest and downloads you've seen along the way. Your openness and participation in the whole scene here has really helped the momentum I think. I can't wait to support Tales from We're Alive and whatever else you come up with.
My only issue with the whole finale is the New Little One. There was a lot of build up for that. Starting from before the Soldiers even died. Tanya going "He is starting over", to Saul saying he heard it. It was a big build up. Then to not even have a clue. Granted, if Ink started right after the first batch the new one would be really small, but we got nothing. If it was a "I think I heard something new" and Tanya go "Makes sense. He keeps trying to make them better" then they go down there.. ok.. cool. This was a plot hook that started pretty early and touched on a few times. Figured we would get something.
I loved the audible murmur of excitement in the audience Saturday just when the title was read. I'm glad they it a secret until then (or maybe I just didn't hear about if it was announced).Quote:

The kitchen guy screwed up Reily's last name. And when those 2 chareters spawn a baby, they make the teacher at the end who still screws up Reily's last name!Quote:

Hmmm. Saul going solo to reconnect the wires? Sounds like suicide. Think it'll be a showdown between him and Ink.....
Ooh, they're going to talk to Pegs? That's fancy.... I don't want her to die...... Oh fuck sake, she's going to pussy out at this stage.....
Oh what the fuck, she wanted the baby? Man she is bat shit crazy......
Heh, gas that fucking crazy bitch. Wish Riley and Burt would hurry.....
Not sure if i should be doing this, would people complain....?
Hmmm..... a living little ones mother......?
Man, Saul can move with that katana. Go Saul!! Now just don't die.
No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no......

Don't wanna listen anymore. But i do. *floods of tears come*
Oh no. Not fucking Randy. Don't kill Michael too.
OH VICTOR/OTTO YOU LUSCIOUS BEAUTY, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When the time jump happened, I laughed and thought of How I Met Your Mother.
Great Finale. Loved everything. Great job KC.
Final note for now:
"We're Alive" is not "A Story of Survival".
"We're Alive" is "A Story of Hope".
Good night.
YES, GET GASSED YOU FUCKING BITCH.
Oh shit, Pegs got hit. And she's gassed. Lol........
Nooooo....... Run Pegs. RUN.
Oh come on, of course the ladder has to be stuck. And she runs out of Ammo. Good thing Hope has the spare gun...... Is she going to......?
Oh. Oh? Oh?????? YES SHE GOT HIT. GOOD RIDDANCE SCRATCH!!!!!
Well, my theory is out the window.
Hahahahaha, i'm going to enjoy this scene. Oh wow, Scratch is playing with her. She's so sick...... Oh wow, Burt knocked her out ahahahahhaaaa. What happens next?
Hmmm, peaceful music. This is definitely going to turn bad......
Oh no, Michael has to break the news...... ugh my tears, can't hold them back.....

Perfect ending. It had everything i wanted. Enough was in it to have closure yet left just enough open to continue the story. Brilliant. Can't wait to see what comes next.
Love it ...Quote:

Oh look, its Mr Whiskers. And he got skinny.......? Last time he was fat. Where did all the mice and rats go?
Skittles ate them ... All of them ...Quote:

14 YEARS? HOLY FUCKING SHIT. Well the theory of telling Nick about who his parents were was correct. Who thought of it......? I wanna say Grog did.....
Wait, two of you? Who's the 2nd.... WHAT? NO! TANYAS DEAD TOO? GIVE ME A BREAK KC!!!!!!
Schoolbooks?
Poor Tanya...... Feel sorry for the pain she faced.
Nooooo, Pegs cant have children? That's not fair. Oh look, Mr Whiskers again. And the way Nick said it was a reference to Pegs.....
Wait, the teacher from chapter 1 survived? Lol
Haha, Pete has a PA for his store.......
Wish Victor was MY uncle.....
Yaay Hope is a doctor. Haha, Puck is hilarious with his tough love.
WAIT, ROBBINS HAD A KID? NO FUCKING WAY.
Burt and his movies, a undying tradition......
WHAT THE, WHO IS EVERYONE HAVING CHILDREN WITH??!?!?!?!?!! THERE'S SO MANY!!!!!!
10,000 people, with several mini colonies? Fuck, where did they all come from?
Wow, what an ending.
That was amazing. Seriously, Kc, you've done such an amazing job. I don't really know what to say........
I'm actually crying a little.
Well, i cannot speak for all you people, but I, for one, am VERY pleased with how it ended.
It sucks Saul had to do what he did, but if not for that sacrifice, none of them could live as they did. And the way that the guys dealt with Scratch, was probably a new one of my favourite parts of We're Alive. Burt gets his much needed revenge and Scratch gets payment for all the bad shit she caused to our group.
And then the "14 years later"? I never saw that coming, and i'm glad we get to see how their lives have turned out.
Once again, Kc, you have done an amazing job. You (and the guys behind creating the series) deserve so much recognition for what you've made, and i hope you get it. Seeing this as a tv series would be fantastic.
Ok, my spam has ended.
what a great way to conclude a series!...the pressing ends are taken care of, well, one's in a box under concrete but we get the jist...and we are left with some afterthoughts to feast on like: the origin of the gas, are there other survivors/colonies, and what would the world look like years after pretty much surviving the outbreak and rebuilding society.
could we get some sort of hi-res image of the new flag? in an avatar and/or desktop/mobile wallpaper format? that'd be sweet!
That's a very good point, and also very intentional... that's all I can say.Quote:

KC you sir deserve every bit of praise you can get!!..
I absolutely loved the time warp and how that all played out.. The Next Series should be We're Alive:The Adventures of Nick Tink!! Maybe by then it will be a Movie or TV Series..
I was hating that this was coming to an end, but man I sure loved it, the ride to it, and all the back and forth here in these forums.. I look forward to future work..
...forgot to add that I'm pretty upset that Mr. Whiskers got a cameo but Dog gets left out?! what is this post-apocalyptic world coming to??? :D :kitty
Sadly, I was waiting to answer this during the Q & A next week, (WHICH BTW, I'll answer your lingering questions then), but Lady was already about 5 or 6 when the story took place. So... yeah... That would be 20 years... you can see where I'm going.Quote:
