Come on, you and me pick the right horse for this race. IF wasn't for Vic and CJ, no one would have survive.Quote:

I am boiling right now...... Not only did the 1 legged bandit manage to ruin almost everything she touched, she also made it to the end, and she is like president or head of the military or something..... And then further more she is raising kids to complete the cycle and be just like her!!!! Where is the justice in this cruel world!!!!:mad:Quote:

I was thinking the exact same thing..... nice to hear KC as a part of this masterpiece, both to start, and to close.Quote:

It definitely felt......different. Maybe it was just knowing that the series would soon be coming to an end and that the story that I've been following for the better part of five years would soon be over, and that I would soon be saying goodbye to characters that had been a part of my life for quite some time. I wasn't sure what to expect out of the finale, but I'm happy to say that I'm satisfied. It did feel a bit rushed after four seasons worth of build up to have all of the major conflicts wrapped up a half hour into the series finale, but the time jump was a really effective way to get closure on all of the characters I've spent so long getting to know, and it's the perfect jumping off point for further exploration in the world of We're Alive.
After all is said and done, it wasn't perfect, but it was well written, well produced, and damned entertaining, which is more than can be said for most of the garbage that passes for entertainment these days. To KC and all the cast and crew of We're Alive I really only have one thing to say: Thank you. It's obvious that you put a huge amount of work into this, and it really is appreciated.
I too have been sitting here in dark silence, seeing as the episode has ended, I rushed home to listen to the episode as soon as I was off work, it's getting dark outside and none of the lights in the house are on, just this computer monitor and time remaining sitting at 0:00....
KC, like many of the posters here I was worried and nervous that the finale would be a bloodbath. I don't know why we all came to this conclusion, since generally throughout the series, with the exception of the soldiers/jail chapter (which did make me cry, even on re-listening), losing Angel, the flashback to Randy's first death, and Tommy, the series has had death throughout but mostly ancillary characters we weren't really attached to. Or we're okay losing, Lizzy was a surprise but balanced because we were preparing to lose Datu. Possibly Samantha, but only because we felt more for Datu's pain than Samantha's death. I want to thank you for protecting our beloved band of survivors and telling us it turned out alright. The sacrifices that were made, weren't forgotten.
I have always been a big fan of original unpredictable content, and Sir (Respect, Not Rank) you have delivered, time in and time out. Every chapter and every episode has captivated us.
Many people are asking for We're Alive's future to come to us in additional mediums, such as television, movies, etc...
I however believe that this adventure has proven that the Audio Drama format has place in media today, and an extremely powerful one. I have always been a big fan of Audiobooks and Radio Plays. I just don't think this story could have been told as it was had it been developed in today's modern media marketplace. KC has had complete control of the development since the beginning and I truly believe we have benefited from it every Monday for a long time. Hollywood, New York and all the other big names in today's media couldn't have let this be what it was. They would have changed it, added here, taken there, 'MORE explosions', 'MORE scandal', 'lets make it a reality show', etc....
My second to last final note here, as an OIF/OEF Veteran this series has touched many of us in the way it was told and how the characters feel so familiar. The three soldiers sprinting for that Hummer so long ago, had so very far to go, and you let us tag along and theorycraft all their possible futures.
KC I thank you, for one of the greatest stories of our generation.
One other thing, When are we going to get a victory speech from the man who has worked so hard, for so long, for so little, for all of us? You know what, never mind. Take a rest KC, you deserve it, and so does your cast and crew. We'll be here when you come back.
Well I spent the $5 (well 20$ got a shirt as well) on Chapter 48 and I would like to say it was very good. I had a some thoughts on two things that kinda of struck me as off.
1. Ink got cut down a little two easy, but on reflection I can see were he would be so full of himself and his position in his home that he would be more curious about Saul not turning.
2. I did not like Burt going that far with Scratch and still in the end be okay and in the colony.
All in all this is the best podcast out there and thank you for KC and everyone working on this show. They did an awesome job on it. I am intrigued with what to come next and how it will grow from here.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't remember Michael, Saul, or Vic getting close enough to a zombie (since putting on the armbands) for it to actually see and react to the symbol. I'm under the impression that the horde that Ink called to him and Saul was arriving when Saul said this over the radio. I pictured the scene as the horde arriving, but upon seeing the symbol, stop their approach. Saul then attempts to let Michael know before detonating the explosives.
And of course, many thanks to KC and the crew for making Mondays the best day of the week! Truly an amazing series! :)

You've got me over a barrel there, Alex (you asshole). She was most assuredly not still alive when the credits played. HOWEVER. If you read the edit, which was made long before the episode was released... The last time we hear her she IS live and well. Tough call. I'll leave it up to a vote. Someone start a poll. Banish me. Just remember, I loved you all.Quote:

Oh don't give me that I've been busy all season and not here, but I still LOVE to give you hell. You can always stay. Who else will argue that she killed Angel with kindness?Quote:

In any case, we had payoffs and closure, which is more than can be said about most series out there today; on top of that, we had and a glimpse into the future and we have hope.
I especially loved the callbacks to previous episodes: the teacher talking about no make ups for the quiz and Professor Lefbrebrfbdb... whatever. :D
The lullaby in french was a nice touch as well :)
Michael being all protective of Nick and Pegs reassuring him that he's going to be fine. She finally found her strength, uh?
Technical note: Michael speaking to Tanya on the phone after Saul dies: it is very difficult to listen to. Is it supposed to be that low in volume? Like we are overhearing over the phone? Because the first part of the conversation with CJ we can hear just fine.
I can see a lot of spinoffs for the Tales: the new kind in the tunnels? What was Michael right about?
Thank you to the cast and crew. It was an amazing ride.
Oh, it was.Quote:

I'm think Saul got to see the new ones and was tell Michael that he was right.Quote:

Burt seems like the kind of guy to keep quiet about what he did, so no one else might know about it.Quote:

In Comments about the last words of Saul.. Michael imo, was right about the new breed of Zombies like UndeadSweeper said.
In My last post I praised KC but forgot the Cast and Crew.. Kudos to you guys.. The voice acting was outstanding, the ambient sounds and special effects were awesome. It was easy for me to close my eyes and envision all that going on around me. I look forward to future work from you all...
I want to said is how did KC and crew get the sound and effect of Scratch being in a coffin? The hair on the back of my neck raised up the moment I hear her in there.
Fantastic conclusion!
I love that my hope about Scratch ending up accomplishing nothing at all after all her efforts and all the deaths on her hands was true!! Yay! She really did get her comeuppance in the end. That was truly terrifying that scene where she talked to Burt!
I'm sad that Saul died. I figured that he would so it wasn't overly surprising but it was still a heart wrenching scene. Vic and Sauls goodbye and Michael telling Tanya about it was rough to listen to.
The time jump at the end was great! I love the new world at the end. Aunt and Uncle Vic. That's adorable. I'm also happy that Michael got to live in the end since he's always been my favorite but I was a little bit disappointed he didn't really get to do much in the finale. Not even finish off Randy after the mistake of letting him turn.
I wonder what Tales of We're Alive will hold. I almost hope it's not the future timeline because after such a strong uplifting ending I don't want to tarnish that with a new series.
And Saul died. I'll just go find a table for ya bud.Quote:

If he hadn't, Ink would have kept breeding new creatures and eventually everyone would be dead or in miserable seclusion. His plan with KODI and taking the fight to Ink is what allowed this new world to grow and build.
No love for the guy! Gahhhh! I love ya Michael!
pssssshhhh!!!!!!Quote:

One question that might be answered in Tales from We're Alive. What happened to Skittles/Duncan? I do hope the first tale you tell is his (although the Colony would have to find him first).
To a few posters.
Thank you for listening along side and bantering on in the forums. You've made this show even better. I still hold on to my one amazingly thought out theory long ago that was spat upon by a few, but was near identical to what actually happened (Kalani and the Rat [Great title for a drama]).
Again thanks to all who made this Story into the heart-pounding, tear-jerking, smile inducing story it is. THANK YOU!... and I can't wait to hear more.
I have a couple of questions that another listen or two will probably answer but I don't have time at the moment so I'm going to crutch on you for the moment.
1. Was Ink actually a zombie? Why were his eyes clear rather than clouded like the rest? I get that the symbol mentioned protected him from others but did that protect him to the extent that he was never turned in the first place?
2. What happened to Randy?
I almost forgot: I love that the final move that kills Ink is the one from when CJ kills the zombies behind the garage door. She says "Gotta remember that move". Well, Saul did remember.

This might be a matter of opinion, but considering all the verious feats Ink did, I would consider him a zombie and not a human being. Especially the encounters in the Tower and the Cain Hospital seem to point at it. Also Michael seems to think this: If Ink really bit Saul into the neck in order to make him change into a zeeh, then Ink must've been a zombie himself - unless, though, he may simply carry the zeeh-agent without affecting him.
Thanks for the response.Quote:
