You are right, where is Witch Doctor? He was talking about sneak onto the show and jump on Gun truck the next time it when out,.... ohh nooo!

Well. That happened.
not gonna lie, when last chapter we heard of the soldiers going out without Michael my first thought was "great, they're all gonna die now" and then they went...and came back. I thought cool, hes not killing em off. Then they mentioned the jail, and FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU.
THAT explains my feelings pretty well I think. Setup episode is a setup. Someone call admiral ackbar.
If this whole thing really IS a trap, and Puck was saying all that stuff under duress, with Scratch pointing a gun at his head, then it is going to make for some really interesting listening. Also, would give Burt & Riley a reason to come back into the fold.
Puck said "bring the Doc", but that would be stupid. So they're gonna lose chief mechanic, pilot AND only doctor all in two days? Better call Saul instead!
Nope, this look like a job for Vic and Datu !
Uh-oh, are you feeling ok 7id? You look a little ill... I fear for your 1500 post...
The closer one gets to the enemy, the less effective the technology edge. The proximity warning of close quarters combat did set me on edge. I see improvements in Ink's ambushes that could lead to this. I am sure Scratch could plan it, but seems a little coincidental and forced for this to occur the same time Burt comes back and Victor admits to wanting to get rid of them...
Shit! Sorry, Grog... I meant to thumbs UP your post, but all my thumbs up buttons have disappeared! WTF?!
No worries, I have fat-fingered a few peeps. I think it is harder on your feelings than mine.
I also don't liked the limiter to the like button.
Damn, that was... Quite a blow. I knew something was going to happen when they went to check out the prison. It just felt right in terms of story rhythm (they've checked out all these other places and nothing, so in terms of story there has to be something this time), but I thought it was going to be something good, like some sort of lead on Ink (or Scratch's partially-devoured corpse, heheh). Definitely not expecting what actually happened.
On another note: it's fantastic to hear Burt and Riley's voices again. I missed them like crazy these past episodes, and honestly I think they're being treated a bit unfairly by the rest of the group. I agree with them that Scratch is still out there biding her time, rather than fleeing. The rest of the group may have been hurt by their departure without saying anything, but I find it annoying that they can't look past their feelings and see that this is something that needed to be done, and see that they would not have let Burt and Riley go after Scratch, if they had voiced their plan. Leaving without saying anything was really the only way to go about it. So, yeah, get off their case, you bunch 'a goats (in imitation of Burt's voice).
Well, if the ambush that killed off most of the Irwin soldiers was engineered by scratch, I might have to call bullshit on the storytelling aspect. It just seems a little too convenient that all of this would happen coinciding with Burt and Riley's return to the fold after their four-month hiatus. I don't think KC would be that obvious, so therefore I think it was probably zombies that attacked Puck & company.
Agree. To go a little further, I speculate that this killing of the soldiers is another Randy-hitting-Michael-where-it-hurts thing, rather than Ink, who seems to have bigger plans and is more concerned with the overall extinction of humans rather than focusing on one person. Perhaps he got Puck like he got Datu and is leaving him there to be another slow-turner friend for Michael to deal with.
Also, is it me, or is the Mata-Gun cursed? It seems like anyone who's brought it along to use against the biters has either been killed or bitten.
I have a question for anyone. Kelly said Burt wanted to talk to CJ because she had info on the mallers and the safe. What safe is she referring to? Burt's gun safe?
Do you guys think Puck killed them all, maybe he is protecting ink, its his cousin!
CJ's book safe. She keeps her more valuable books stored within at Dunbar
I think they were talking about CJ's safe at Dunbar, where she kept all her notes on the Mallerss.
You know.... I was going to come on here and say "that goodbye grom the soldiers sounded an awful lot like a final goodbye" and it was going to be awesome when it was true next week. Sadly Kc trumped me andade it this week.
Damn you Kc.
I loved the safe house fight. It was genuine, it sounded natural and had a very organic swell right when puck called. If it's true the soldiers are dead I'm going to be sad we don't get Muldoon and Robbins bickering and Carl's awkward laughing about it. But with them gone, this story is going to get serious and fast.
Just have to wait and see what happens....
I am also going to miss the grunt banter. I want to say that they got into a fight and someone used the matagun, but being as it's shackled together with parts Datu could find and it's High Pressure Air, a seal broken and turned into either a projectile or bomb. I hope this isn't true because then Datu would be mega ultra super depressed on top of everything, I just don't figure Datu would find enough reliable seals and piping for the kind of pressures the Mata Gun would need to do the damage it's described as doing.
It's been fired enough times that if there was a danger of it exploding, it would have already happened. Datu can fix a military helicopter, I think he's reliable enough to make a pressure gun that doesn't blow up, lol. Also, I'm pretty sure Datu is already mega ultra super depressed, on account of being bitten and dying slowly.
