One thing for clarity sake. Eastern Bay like any other prison isn't Cohab. Besides, Angel is the only one people keep trying to figure out how they know him.

One thing for clarity sake. Eastern Bay like any other prison isn't Cohab. Besides, Angel is the only one people keep trying to figure out how they know him.
Here is one crazy theory that could be extremely far off or maybe not it all depends on if they are going to make another season or not.
Theory: If season 2 is the last season, with angel and burt in that tough spot. Burt and angel might actually survive the battle but one of them might get bitten or scratched resulting in a teary goodbye too a very popular character.
Theory 2: Pegs is the shooter and did not only have grave intentions for pippin when she killed him but what if near the end of the story pegs turns on micheal and kills him. This could ba series finale type deal but micheal could awaken to find it all a dream or he was in a coma as said by 7oddisdead.
Theory 3: This is my final theory and i haven't seen anyone post this. What if Lizzie joined the mallers, feeling abondoned by the tower and helped fight in a final battle AGAINST the tower. Even bigger a twist during that battle she shoots saul, micheal, pegs or riley.
The production is planned for four seasons right now :)
working nights can create some interesting sleep patterns. and with strange sleep patterns come very "random" ideas, "where the hell did that come from?"...i find myself waking to saying that more and more lately.
todays input from the randomizer is; they say right before you die, your life flashes before your eyes. well, what if your brain gets stuck in that moment? by this i mean ok youve been biten, whatever it is be it neurotoxin or whatever that "kills" you, begins to function..in the moment before death, your life beins flashing before your eyes. but that moment never ends. your conscious/rational mind continues to live on within that moment as your body reverts to the most base, instictual level it can. lower level brain fuction...the natural "will to live" as it were, is the only thing keeping the mind,...and body, functioning..
now this certainly wouldnt explain the desire to eat flesh. but truthfully, in that moment as the brain, body, and mind function on a seemingly "autopilot" type of behaviour...could you still be considered a human at all? once your body and "soul" had made the conversion to the "undead"..is eating human flesh truly cannibalism? or simply the equivelent of a human eating, say ...a monkey?
well for what could be the final time here at least......todd out
So do you mean that you think that this "zombification" may not actually be the living dead but actually some kind of neurological state? That this state may be your deepest most sinister thoughts come to life while you yourself are trapped inside of your own subconcious?
surely that would also include the act of mating, which we have seen naught of from the zombies... yet. and the need for self preservation is buried pretty deep in our minds. not something to give away too eagerly in the search for food and violence.Quote:

Hey dudes
I'll address that last post sometime in the future...for now I like the way you two are thinking;)
Oh thank you. I'm glad it will be addressed, I would love to see other peoples thoughts.
Ah yes i'm back and this time with a brand new theory.
Skittles what do we know about him? NOTHING all we know is he has been studying the zombies but for what survival or for maybe another reason? This brings me to my theory...
Skittles is one of the main reasons for the zombie outbreak. I know not much has come out regarding how the outbreak began but i believe that Skittles could have been working on a certain project. Who knows what they intended endless life? immunity to disease? Well maybe something went wrong in a lab when they tested a subject. They injected him with some serum and it appeared the man had been killed atleast for a few minutes that is. There is no telling what the first zombie really was but he could have broken out of the lab killing/ creating other zombies on his way out and then that could be all it took. Humanity looking for a way to end great suffering around the world but in the end caused the end of the world....
Well thats just one man's theory please elaborate on this....
That thought crossed my mind when she was taken. I just can't see them performing a human sacrifice. Then again, who knows what the Zeds believe. Perhaps they have a deity that they worship... disconcerting to say the least.Quote:

He caught it out of the air...by this I'm referring to "ink" catching the arrow of the air when riley shot it at him...think of the pressure the hand would have to place on the arrow to take it from moving at around 3-350 ft. Per second to nothing...now tell me these "zombies" are experiencing any type of muscle loss or decay..."were alive"? well, were certainly not dead....
Are we positive that was Ink? That's under the assumption that Ink and Capt. Pinstripe Suit are the same cat and if they are... I would wager that he's dead. After all, Burt tapped him twice in the chest in an earlier episode. Unless of course, that sneaky fuck is wearing a bullet proof vest. Take two center mast, then jump out a window and fuck off down the road just as quick as you like. Post the results.Quote:

And the point I'm trying to make is...if the guy that caught the arrow is dead, then how does his body have the manual dexterity to stop an arrow shot directly at him...let alone snatch it out of mid-air...
But I do understand what your saying...i just try to throw logic in the river when it comes to this thread
I'm not even sure how crackpot this is, but I don't find anywhere else this theory sits.
So we all remember the ambush in chapter 21, where the Mallers had to leave four tankers behind in the park. For all we know, those tankers, rigged to explode, are still sitting there. I doubt any signal that Tardust would have used to trigger the other tankers would have reached over that distance to set them off. So either Godkingzombie pimp has control of them and will make some smart zombies drive them off. At the right moment he could try to crash the tankers into the tower.
On the other hand, the Tower has a helicopter now, they can scout and maybe they see these tankers. So possibly in the Maller/tower war, they use their own tankers against them.
Basically I'm trying to think of different things that can be done with these giant bombs lying around. Of course, they also just sit there to rust like all of that dud WWII ordance
/\ That's awesome dude...im sure most of us have forgotten about those...nice!:)
This theory was discover yestorday when I was talking with a friend about the show, and regarding Angel character growth through the chapters. In which my friend told me believes Angel developed a man crush on Micheal? 0.o
I've just developed a man crush on your friend. -.-Quote:

Hell, I dunno...but its something
Interesting. Are you thinking that whatever she found is rat related? Of course just about every main Tower resident was out of the building at that time except Michael and Tanya.Quote:

The line we're talking about is taken out of context from the rest of her thought. The line is about Lewis, and she also implies she would wait behind for Saul from her line previous these lines: "If everyone goes. Someone might want to stay behind."Quote:
"Not everyone will be going, right? What are you going to do with that suspect killer you got locked up?" (Emphasis interpreted from performance).
Do you really think she'd pull a diva move out of her hat if she discovered something about the rat? The Rat just murdered someone who might be able to ID them. If Tanya has the discovered the identity of the rat from the journals, I don't think she'd walk away from Michael. She would tell him even if he popped an attitude with her. Her life could depend on it. Her discovery, though most likely very significant in terms of the story, is probably mundane in comparison to the Rat's identity.
Perhaps....im getting bored...its quite easy to take things out of context, when your trying to find clues anywhere you can. Truth be told, i had that thought and within 3 minutes had it posted.. So no...not one of my more "planned out" ideas..;)
Hmmm, I wondered why that never happened. I bet there are lookouts now because of the makeshift helo pad on the next roof.
Pippin was shot about 24 hours after Tanya arrives. I am not sure how much journal updating there would be. Remember since they fled the colony, it is probably late afternoon the next day.
so the finale is now behind us...and what did we learn? a surprisingly large amount of information..i think for most it has taken some time to process. but here we go with a few things i COULD see happening in the furure:ie....season three
michael and the crew
as of this time, we assume michael is flying them out to ft. irwin. pretty safe assumption,correct? well..the scenario i can envision, they do make their way out to ft. irwin and are "held captive" by the military personel there. they are put through a situation similar to what happened at the colony...but instead of escape, michael find himself taking the gatekeeper type role and overthrows the ones in charge, we see a different side to michael...a return to the cold-hearted dickhead michael we began the story with....hopefully he emerges from this by the end of the season...but this creates a michael even more "broken" than he was before...he begins to believe that perhaps humanity truly deserves all that its getting right now(alright, im projecting my own feelings now),..moving on
saul/victor
this little pairing is truly very exiting...think about it. you have a broken-hearted loose cannon, and a shit-talking badass with awesome street smarts..what more could you ask for?not only will we have have the adventures of these two looking for the mallers/lizzie..but also all the subplot of them not knowing exactly what happened to the rest of their friends, and how their going to find a way out of LA..(after all, they know where the plan to go was)...we got a small taste of their interaction at LAX...should be quite...interesting
mallers
scratch and co. have now finished her little side project, the next logical step for them(with the info we have right now) is to head to the ....colony. thats where durai is..thats where the new "home" is..the wild card to this situation is we know durai went down south to handle that business..what we dont know...is how that business went..im thinking things between durai and gatekeeper has/will get interesting
burt/angel
YES...im one of those who refuse to let these two die...my biggest reason for this is the epilogue of the finale...convince me that the epilogue served any purpose other than to make us question if those two were, in fact dead or not...i see abusive recovery in their future
and that just scratches the surface...ill probly keep dropping more plotline thoughts in here as the hiatus continues..in the meantime, dont look back!...
7odd out....
so...
based on the crazy thoughts that have been thrown around a bit here lately...
lets just propose this crazy thought. many of us are relistening to the series during the hiatus. i say, listen with a certain mindset...a certain angle that the show could be trying to take..a fine example would be listen to the series with the mindset of everyone who narrates a section is dead..the scenes they are describing have some type of importance to them and to the closure of their characters life. a bizzarre form of retribution, release from the mistakes of the life they once had....puts a totally new spin on some scenes...happy hiatus! :)
On with teh crack pop theories im telling you Mr Whiskers is the Rat ALSO he was the first zombie now I dont have any proof other than I like Mr Whiskers,. and felt a need to post.
ok, i have brooding over something over my head now for the past week or so now. Everyone thinks the rat is either one person or another, but no one has yet to ask the question "what if there is more than one rat?" i think Riley could be the rat and Angle, Kalani and Hope are in on it too.
I believe Riley is the main traitor and Angle (because he is so in love) helps her without thinking about it. Kalani as we know was being blackmailed by the Mallers because they had his "Hanna". and last Hope, i think she is in on it because she remembers kalani and hanna from the other tower, also her mom and kalani were both from the other tower when they were takin to the Arena(so she feels like she has to help him) and also because she didn't want kalani to lose Hanna (i bet its his daughter) like Hope lost her mom in all this. i also bet Kalani, Burt, and Angle are still alive. well these are my thoughts, let me know what everone thinks. THX!!
Someone made a similar connection with Samantha and Hannah both having red hair that they were the 2 of the 3 that made it off the tarmac at LAX but then there is hope bringing it up to four survivors so I don't think that is gonna work but there also wasnt much Hope/Kalani interaction if they did know each other even in passing. Skittles also recognized Kalani so I still say he was a rat. I really still think Kelly over REiley as the other rat because even with the post Tommy she had a bit too sudden of a turn around to get in good with the mains...
Didn't really know where to put this since we really don't have a thread for "dumb questions" hahah.
Anyway, This is for the Army/Marine Tank guys:
IF, you stuck a bag of nails up the barrel of the tank and followed that up with a blank/training shell, would the nails project at force??
There really aren't "blank" training shells for tanks anymore. Training tank rounds that are used on ranges are actual cannon rounds, but they have reduced explosive charges and less destructive warheads (no explosives, etc.). Training rounds can still do an enormous amount of damage and can destroy anything short of another tank. Tanks use small explosive devices called "Hoffman Charges" to simulate cannon fire during combat training. These are the equivalent of quarter-stick charges of dynamite and sit in a special rack above the barrel.Quote:

When you fired the gun the grease was blasted down the barrel. With one of those rounds you probably could have stuffed nails in front of the shell and used it to blast them downrange like a big shotgun. But it wouldn't have been very accurate and it wouldn't have had very good range.
Without the blank rounds a tank cannon is going to be like a giant blunderbus. Fill the breech with explosives, put in a good gas plug and pack in shrapnel and you can should be able to fire it effectively. Once. Your guess is as good as mine as to whether you can take a second shot.
Well..i know the question was about a tank...but this could be possible in a more semi-real world scenario...two words
Pumpkin cannon
(sorry,just couldn't resist the idea...)
This was inspired after seeing the Cover Art for Episode 26.
Mr. Whiskers was Scratch's cat! Scratch was living at the apartment complex before it all happened.
That's why Angel was familiar to her. She saw him when he visited his girlfriend Cindy.
And the real reason why she has it in for Pegs: She took her cat!
And that special thing she was looking for after the Tower collapses: Mr. Whiskers.
It would also explain where Scratch got her trademark looks. Mr. Whiskers is as feisty as his original owner.

I can see Scratch only caring about 2 things in life.. her brother and her cat.
The only thing that is completely implausible about this scenario is Scratch found Mr. Whiskers since we know the Mallers have already come and gone.....
.....that and I think we got the original name of the owner when we discovered Mr. Whiskers....you'd figure Datu would know already that Scratch had a big scar on her face and might have made the connection....After all....he is very resourceful.
If only I had come up with this theory one week earlier.
