To be fair... He's Paul. He would have been stalking them for days, know who the leader is, and want them to be dead. If the other Zombies know to avoid bullets and he can speak English, We can assume that he has slightly more intelligence. So It's not too far to presume that Paul knows some kind of stategic planning. Atleast tactics.Quote:

Very good point! In my innocent and trusting way I'd assumed this chapter confirmed Kalani as the rat to our tower but all that has actually been confirmed is that he is the rat to the PP tower. I too had a weird feeling at the end of the final episode of this chapter and I think it was linked to that - I was making the assumption that Kalani's back story was complete but we'd hear a regurgitation of what we knew already (the time between the the arena and the destruction of our tower) at some point in the future. In retrospect that's a massive assumption.Quote:

A lot of comparison has been made recently to lost..im as guilty of that as anyone..but I think if you break the storytelling down to character development, a lot of comparison could be made to shows like breaking bad...or (in kalanis case) the shield..in the shield you had a character that right from the get go you were made to despise...and the rest of the series brought you around to sympathize and understand him..its a brilliant bit of writing..and one that quite fits here as well..
WND #31 is recorded. Thanks for your input! You can now use this thread to comment on the podcast when it gets released.
Be on the look out for a new manner in which to call the forum's most popular character named after a candy....
I still need to listen to 30....
When Brittany did the "RANDY!" I felt she was impersonating a certain Canadian...
Thanks for almost crediting me on the zombie stomping/clapping Nik :P
Hey, look on the bright side....I didn't just steal the credit! ;)Quote:

My buddy made it sound worse than it was. I agree that Tommy didn't show an ounce of hesitation in attacking the group and even displayed some idea of self preservation, but I still think we have yet to see an example in the story where a zombie with higher brain function might have a second thought about attacking a loved one. Tommy only had one blood relative there; his aunt, and even then she was pretty much a bitch with him. But yeah, I don't think we'll ever see this idea explored in the story and it's probably best to throw it either in the crack pot pile or consider it useless.
I recently saw League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, but I think as a movie it sucks and made a handful of my favorite literary characters two dimensional. In my mind the behemoths are represented by the image of Tanks and/or Chargers from Left-4-Dead 1 & 2.
I could have sworn I made a casual comment about the background applauding/stomping when the one with Markings was tearing up Samantha, but maybe I just thought on it and never actually posted. Oh well.
Good episode. This one seemed like it didn't have a whole lot of meat and girth but I attribute that to the episode you were covering; it kind of took a step back from revealing a whole shit load that we had been questioning and put the breaks on just a scoach.
