Addendum to that question is why was an English "tourist" part of such a prominent story arch?? I don't believe in Coy'ekidinks!

ALL TOGETHER NOW...
<austrian accent mode on> get to da choppa! http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2_Pna9eA6C...g/s1600/he.jpg
piccy is of a white bell medical helicopter with a solid blue tail with a red strip down the middle ;)
This is what I dug up yesterday (see post 130 on this thread) and decided against posting (whilst there are clear links to this episode it kind of didnt feel relevant).
For those who havent followed the various links the hospital became a haven for urban explorers after it closed and one of the highlights was an iconic watertower.
On a separate note. Saul claimed to be at Eastern Bay when he contacted the tower, what was he planning on doing if the Mallers had been their? If he wanted to offer the trade in person rather than over the radio does it lend extra credibility to the idea that he would go through with it (or at least with the bluff)?
serious thoughts now...
1. why did Riley aim for the heart and not the head?
2. chapter 2 part 3 mentions Bill Roberts aka 'Ink' being transfered to a mental health facility on the Tivo recording = Caine Mental Hospital
3. the pointed silver pen with motor and needle, sounds like a tattoo gun to me - i.e. to mark the number five on the little ones
4. which movie did Burt reference for the C4 device? was it a zombie movie?
5. Riley was very pleased to see angel okay <i'm just sooo glad you are safe> mmmm... is Riley bi?
6. Burt joking about the helicopter not being on the helipad - seems to me he is on a constant downer and always expecting the worst, accepting death for a third time - at the hospital, two at Locked n Loaded, but what was the third?
7. Saul's plan of action will either be a) go back to the tower and openly plan with Michael about using Pegs as bait to get Lizzy back (i think Pegs would be up for it); or b) go get Pegs at LAX
1. Easier target. The zombies don't need a headshot to kill. Aiming for the center mass is easier.
2. My thoughts exactly
3. ditto
4. I Dunno. Any ideas anyone?
5. Or she might just see him as a close friend. Being glad he's not dead doesn't necessarily mean romantic interest.
6. He seemed sort of jovial when he cracked that joke, a bit of gallows humor after escaping a close call. As for the third time he was prepared for death: I thought maybe during the War, he was talking about running off alone, but he also seemed like he might be preparing to go out in a blaze of glory.
7. I'm thinking (b) he was careful to make sure the Tower wasn't listening before he contacted Scratch. So I think Michael's gonna be out of the loop on whatever it is Saul's planning.
Maybe i'm confusing/combining the two but didn't Angel say in 1-1 that they creatures on the freeway could have come from the mental institution. He added it was only 10 or so miles away? (pulling from recent memory) That was at the army base, was he referring to the same hospital or a different special mental hospital? Does the Tivo say "Caine" when it refers to the Mental institution?
As for who saul is going to offer up for trade. I think it might be pippin, Yes i know he is dead at this point but the bigger question is. Does saul know that?
