Which is also the reason I think he got turned by a Little one. We know they were around at that time since Angel and Riley hear one at the arena while hiding in the pile of bodies. That'd probably explain why he's also still intelligent. It still doesn't explain how the Little ones came to be, though. :)Quote:

So, assuming we have some smarts in some of dem zombie heads, it isn't to far afield to think Randy set something up and was waiting for them to hit that area for cameras.Quote:

5 more hours. :yay:
How does Michael know to stop at that alley? Fifteen minutes is a hell of a head start in an urban maze. Michael seems to smell the funk a lot better than Puck. There does seem to be a difference between biters 1.0 and 2.0. Puck has had limited "exposure" to biters 1.0Quote:

I don't think the truck was attacked. It sounds like Randy appeared from the ally and the crew fired at him. Someone tells Micheal that 'he went that way' and he was moving really fast.Quote:

We assume they all had identical abilities (physical or mental) but we don't really know.Quote:

And the several characters that have seen him have used different descriptions of him with some common references.
We the listeners and theorizers have put them all into the same persona. But who knows.....
Well, even the characters themselves seem to think of him as one and the same, at least it sounds like that at the end of S3.Quote:

It's definitely a possibility that this is all one individual and that's Kc saying it. But it's still a vague area. I feel like the pinstriped suit guy that was in the Tower seemed different from the guy who attacked Dunbar and the guy in the Hospital. Almost like the Tower guy was an early attempt at "making" a special zombie that has mental capabilities beyond the other specials of the time (i.e., behemoths, runners, and jumpers).Quote:

that last bit "protecting it from others getting close" sounds like Randy was acting as an Alpha of a pack. The fact that he didn't turn her could be several-fold.
1.) she was already bitten
2.) the zombies don't always turn everyone they capture
3.) he was ''preserving" her for something else
but what we do know is that Randy was in charge of this "Massed togther" group, unlike anything the Tower members had ever seen before.
so my conclusion is that Randy is either a leader (General/Commander) for TOWTM or is in charge of his own faction. this occurance with Tanya solidifies that he is in charge of SOME zeds.
