Will be waiting on pins and needles for season 4!!!! At least I have The Hobbit to start obsessing over this month. Great Job, and thank you again for such a great story!!!

I only want to add one thing after listening for the 5th time: the music was so awesome, truly epic and wonderful.

I think Arrowhead deserves props for his/her performance. There was an interesting contrast between rooting for the hero and feeling a bit sorry for the monster.
Hey, wasn't Grendel's arm torn off before he died too?

Yea, those were great sound effects. But was eerie that his creator just stood by and watched this happen. As if he was just taking notes.

I'm sure CJ has a ton more weapons stashed as well, so they'll be good on that front. No idea where they could park the helicopters to keep them safe though. Maybe just a random nowhere location. They'll need to secure fuel for the helicopters as well.

My guess would be that they'll stay at the Colony. Remember it's not just the main characters there. There's also a few dozen colonists too. Plus all the equipment, supplies, and vehicles at the Colony not to mention at least one helicopter, maybe two if the Blackhawk from Irwin makes it there intact. I know Dunbar's a pretty big place, and CJ apparently had at least 31 people living there before, but the Colony has more room to serve as a base for whatever offensive Michael's planning. The only downside is that it's pretty far from downtown L.A. but that might work in their favor if they can keep the zeds busy fighting in L.A. and keep the Colony as a safe base of operations.

Makes a lot of sense.
CJ's Tower would be a good place, though, for a small reconnaissance-team or something, wouldn't it? And even if not - if The Colony remains the place to survive in, then one of the first things to do would be to collect all the important stuff from her place.
Something in the back of my heads asks for this: Scratch and Mad-Maxian-Mallers might have set up camp in CJ'S Tower ... Wouldn't this be nice?
(Am just toying around with ideas ... At the moment I don't feel like predicting things.)

All the best!

First things first. The walls and gates of the colony have to be mended and reinforced in the first place. The water truck supply runs need to be resumed as well. However, I am really looking forward to a information roundup of all the things that have happened from the end of season 2 onwards.

Besides, it would be pretty coincidental if Scratch and Tardust set up camp at Dunbar. I fear the worst for Tardust. Scratch constantly needed someone in the past to - uuhhhmmm - reduce her feelings of aggression. So there might be a lot of bruises for Tardust on this cruise...

Grendel did indeed have his arm ripped off in a wrestling match with Beowulf. This resulted in his death as well.

Interesting thing about Grendel, he and his mother are described in the poem "Beowulf" as being descendants of Cain from the Bible. And we have Cain Hospital being a place that somebody seems to be using as a place to make/evolve new creatures like Arrowhead.

Hmmmm......

Even if they don't end up relocating to Dunbar, I imagine that they could make real good use of CJ's safe houses. She seemed to have a bunch of those around LA. Would come in pretty handy for guerilla warfare against the Zeds.

So will her secure police radio network. It's almost as if CJ was planning for the coming battle against Pinstripes.

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that she was. At least before Dunbar fell.
Now I just wonder how well CJs going to deal with working with Michael. You just know there's going to be some butting heads there. Might get pretty interesting.
