Oh. Good thinking. Maybe we see them again as hairy Behemoths, or just normal behemoths, or Inklings. Maybe it ISNT the end of Robbins? (still holds hope for Carl, Robbins and Muldoon living)Quote:

Again, I feel this is another episode that can't be talked about much, we were given some answers to some questions, given some more questions, but not enough evidence so we can talk about it for a week...
Oh yes, what could possibly go wrong? Hmmm....Quote:

I believe I mentioned Austin McKibben in the 42-1 thread, but I never suspected he would have been one of the behemoths.
Though I guess if they're getting hairy, they'll be known as Sasquatch now...

"Veggies" sounds like a good collective noun for their offspring :DQuote:

Hello,
A few hours after release 10 pages of awesome and madness ...
a couple of things from me:
1.The story was told from Tanya's perspective - the first time?
2. Puck survived.
3. Forget the Hospital, and the arena, but look at the jail and the mad genious of Ink ... Certainly a totally new level of badassitude and evil ...
4. Behemoths are engineered/ mutated from human beings; I remember theories asking if Behemoth were humans once or something else ... Now we have the clarification.
5. Austin aka Arrowhead ... Funny, both names start with an "A". That was probably the biggest blast in this episode (for me at least).
I don't think CJ is half as desperate as you need to be to "fall in love" with Michael ...Quote:

------------------
As for Pegs:
The more people don't like her, the more I do it, because I appreciate her efforts for the sake of survival as well as keeping some "human warmth" which seems to be lost by many other survivors (no reason to blame anyone thought) ...
Best wishes!
Liam
Victopegs! Sounds like a really bad Pokemon!
Burt sure is "Mr-tie-up-the-loose-ends" this episode. He reminded Saul of the "smart one" from Raydon Labs, and he recognized Austin McKibben. I hope he sticks around for a while, at this rate he could clear up a lot of unanswered questions!
Or an even worse Decepticon...Quote:

He should award the Purple Heart to Puck, to Carl and Robbins and Muldoon, as well as to Saul, and to himself. I would also give one to Burt. and consider doing so for Riley (remember that she became a soldier at Fort Irwin, though I don't know if she's been wounded since then).

A duct-tape arrow laid on a floor with dripping blood? Hmmmm.....
Timestamp: 8:19 p.m., EST on Thursday evening, 1/23/14
Ok, I am for sure CALLING this one ahead of time and want to make sure I can do a big, fat, I TOLD YA SO next week when we discover this is exactly what will transpire:
Michael's rescue team will come tearing up to the jail looking for Puck, but won't see him anywhere. Upon further investigation, they will see spent shells on the ground, and drops of blood leading into the jail. Upon careful entry, they will find everything eerily quiet, and then soon will discover a line of duct tape arrows on the floor, leading deeper into the prison, like a demented Hansel and Gretel plot from hell, which they will have to follow. At the end of the duct-crumb trail they will discover that Puck had been abducted / killed by Randy and other zombies, where a fight will break out and 1 more characters will die (prob Max), and another injury to a main character. This is DEFINITELY going to happen or I eat crow pie. Mark it down.
Litmadamus
Okay, I'm not breaking out the knife and fork just yet: sure, I was wrong on the Puck/internal/abduction theme, but the main aspect of this prediction hinged on the duct tape bread crumb trail, WHICH COULD STILL COME TO PASS the next episode when we get the badass flashback from Puck detailing the soldier's arrival to the prison, tactical entry, and discovery of the duct tape arrow trail... after which they are subsequently ambushed and have to beat a hasty retreat to the truck, which is smashed by Bigfoot before they can get away.
So I'm holding on, baby, I'm holding on for one more week...
I'm taking a guess on the tape art work theory. Not going much into detail but if no one has said this I claim it as my own. I'm suggesting the tape may be makers and or bread crums to lead the soldiers out of the prison if they went in and had to make a run for it that they marked their exit path as they went in facing towards their escape route.
Whenever I think of a hairy behemoth, I keep picturing Bam Margera's dad from Jackass.
Disturbing to say the least...
The Prison Assault
Ironic how both towers fell and now the story seems to be gearing up for a final assault on "The Twin Towers" to root out Ink once and for all. Where we started with Season 1 and the defending of a tower, we end with Season 4 and the assault of a tower. It's interesting if you Google map that shit and hit Satellite View, you can actually zoom in and see the real loading dock where this episode partially took place:
https://maps.google.com/maps?oe=utf-...&ved=0CLcBEPwS
Okay, but there are a bunch of problems with this prison assault idea:
A. The Prison Itself: Shit, have you seen pictures of this place? Seriously? The place is 1.5 million square feet of Zombie Horrorshow! Check it out:
Here's the original legend from a 2/1/12 L.A. Magazine article:
1. The 8th Floor
Unlike state prisons, county jails are run by the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department, with deputies serving as guards. All told, about 120 sheriffs are on duty at one time. The top of Tower 1 is the executive floor, where the unit commanders and chiefs have their offices. AKA HELICOPTER LANDING PAD, BITCH!
2. The 7th Floor
Convicts in L.A. with mental health needs are sent to the Twin Towers, where about 39 percent of the inmates, including the few women housed here, suffer from mental disorders. The most extreme cases are held on this floor. AKA INKY'S LAIR!
3. Inmate Reception Center
Arrestees spend their first 10 to 24 hours at the IRC. The average sentence used to be about 40 days, but with a new policy that sends nonviolent criminals to county jails instead of state prisons, some inmates face stretches of up to ten years. WHICH IS NOW BOOBY TRAPPED LIKE A MOFO, YO!
4. Tower 2
This tower is one story shorter than its twin. Due to budget cuts that eliminated 300 sheriff positions, Tower 2 has closed several floors and now contains about 670 inmates compared with approximately 2,230 in Tower 1. HOLY SHIT! THAT'S AROUND 3,000 MUTATED ZEDS TO 60-ODD COLONISTS!!! CAN YOU SAY, "NO-WIN SCENARIO??!?"
5. The Core
Every detention floor in the towers features a transparent control booth at its center surrounded by six pods—dormitory-like housing units that each hold 60 to 70 inmates. This design allows the deputy manning the booth to observe three pods at a time. OR ONE ZED TO TAKE OUT A DOZEN COLONISTS BY HIMSELF!
6. The Basement
Beneath Tower 1 is the kitchen, where a mix of civilian and inmate employees prepare more than 9,000 meals a day for the inmates and 750 for the staff. WHICH HAS SINCE BEEN TURNED INTO A DEPOSITORY FOR HUNDREDS OF CORPSES, WHICH HAVE DISSOLVED INTO A HUGE, MUTATED MEATBALL BY NOW
7. Bauchet Street
When their sentence is completed, convicts are released onto Bauchet Street, where there is a bank of pay phones they can use to arrange transportation. OR FOR THE COLONISTS TO CALL THEIR MOMMY, ONCE THEY GET THEIR ASS KICKED!
8. The Windows
The tall, narrow openings on the exterior of the jail are designed to maximize sunlight without allowing a person to exit or a significant amount of contraband to enter. LIKEWISE WITH EXPLOSIVES, ESSENTIALLY MAKING THEM MODERN-DAY ARROW SLITS, AND THE PRISON ITSELF A ZOMBIFIED CASTLE FORTRESS. OUR BOYS ARE FUCKED!
B. Personnel: They don't have the manpower to assault a place of this size and hope to overcome it.
C. Resources: Last I checked, C.J. didn't have a dozen tanker trucks stashed somewhere, so expecting them to do a truck bombing mission like the Mallers ain't gonna happen. Sure, they still have the Pelican chopper, but only one pilot left (Pegs...ugh, I guess that means the bitch gotta come back into the story; was so enjoying her absence, but I digress) and an M134 with limited ammo that ain't gonna do shit to blast through thick concrete walls. And it's gonna take a hell of a lot more than a few of Tardust's old pipe bombs to blow that place apart.
D. Strategy: So even IF they all agreed with Michael that they need to take care of Ink once and for all, how the hell are you gonna get him? That place could be booby trapped to the gills, with a hairy monster lurking around every corner. Any of you Army guys have an inkling (ha!) of what kind of strategy might be used to assault such a place?? CABBAGE PATCH!!!
E. Resolve: And there is still the political battle of getting the rest of the Colony on board that they should all be trying to assault the jail in the first place. I can see a whole lot of them just either wanting to ignore it or packing up and heading off to greener pastures elsewhere... regardless, it should be an interesting ending.
Your numbers don't match the picture. Can you put the legend back in? I've actually never seen this before.Quote:

Oh, whoops! Actually I just chose that picture because it looked like it cool overall diagram of the prison. I did irrespective the numbers and didn't notice till you mentioned that my numbers and the pictures numbers would cause confusion. I'll edit it once I get home. Also send you the link of the original so you can check out out.Quote:

Halfway into the final season, still more questions than answers.
- who is cohen
- where is skittles
- what will hope's role be
- are there no other humans left on the planet? No signals on ham radio at all?
- will our friends survive or is mikey the lone narrator
- saul/tanya zombs
- the baby and lizz
- scratch's fate
- datu and his windmill
- randy's alignment
- ink's role vs. "natural" evolution of zombies (breathing under water, the Crazy types kalani saw in Hawaii)
- the significance of water (notice how neither michael nor vic drank any from the well)
- the cracks in the ground (geological aspect might be connected with ground water)
- angel tenudo's ties to the family
- michaels bomb robot
- the absence of other pregnancies
...
I hope all of the answers do not get shoehorned into the final chapter and we end up with a BS ending like that one show Saul and Vic really liked... "found", was it?
Okay, it's official--Every single person in the story of We're Alive are 100% living, breathing people to me.Quote:

They are coming up against their own dwindling population/knowledge base and the difficulties involved with sustaining even that. At some point, it doesn't matter if you dislike or are pissed off at someone because you NEED them regardless.
What has Mr. H. Behemoth been eating to fuel that muscle mass? As for hair, I dunno about most guys, but my handsome husband's body could pass for that of an Australopithecus and he's not that overly muscular or tall. It's not out of the question that they might have just been hairy guys before hand. I hope so, because the implications of Ink making them cold resistant makes me shiver.
You all realize this would provide a reason behind historic
Sasquatch and Yeti sightings! I think A&E might already have done a documentary about zombie alien Sasquatch sightings during Armageddon.
The Purple Heart is only for Active Military wounded in combat. No wound, No combat, No Medal
Wait a minute: PEGS and HUMAN WARMTH... ?! Uh, are we talking about the same character??Quote:

It shows wheren there is a cliff hanger, we like to talk about it. Last week's release day, at 9:45pm EST there were 148 posts.Quote:
