I do not think that you will dare calling Datu Doodoo if he is just an arm length's away from a chair leg or a pickaxe...Quote:

With it, he will go back in time to find a young Bill Roberts on the verge of becoming a middle school bully. Datu will show him kindness and forever alter the WA universe by eliminating the catalyst for Z-Day.
However, with the Law of Unintended Consequences, this will also cause a young girl nicknamed "Scratch" to rise higher in the Family than she would have otherwise and become an Evil Crime Overlord in LA who enlists an impressionable Saul Tink to do some more pilfering. This causes Saul to get sent up the river for a longer stay and not join the Army.
In the end, this results in Lady not being rescued so she goes to the pound. And never comes out.....
Why, Datu? Why!!!?!?!?!?
</crackpot>
Yup, thats the one that lost its arm vs Bricks in the truck.Quote:

Not sure it implies that. It's not necessarily Michael doing the reading. It's done in Michael's voice since it was his writing. Several times in the series the writer's voice is used instead of the reader's voice.Quote:

As far as I can tell, we still have a full blown mystery on our hands as to who is reading the journals (not just Michael's)...
Oh absolutely, we won't know till the end, but now I get ya about it not necesarily being Michael actually reading the journal (or was the one reading his own journal in the begining), but someone else reading from his journal, gotcha. Yup, totally. But I'll delete/destroy all audio files and trash my Ipad if it turns out to be Scratch reading it.Quote:

In my mind, it's one of the biggest "mysteries" we have right there with "how did Zday happen?", "who the hell is Ink/TOWTM/Pinstripes?", "Cracks in Inglewood?", and "Randy? WTF is up with that dude?"Quote:

I've always wondered if the time before the outbreak will come into play. At the beginning of Micheal's journal he states that, "As I recall, the months leading up to when this all began weren't much to remember. "Quote:

Some pieces of evidence that suggests that Micheal is narrating his and others' accounts.
- The last part of Chapter 2 when he sends Saul and Angel on the first scavenging mission, he says he is able to piece together what happened from their account.
- Chapter 4 shows Micheal writing in his journal while being repeatedly interrupted. He then decides that others keep journals too.
- Chapter 30, we witness a 'probable' account of what took place during the Chinook mission. Micheal says that it was pieced together from various accounts and might not be entirely accurate.
One can also argue that Micheal is not the soul narrator of the story, but that the audience is simply able to view it from the perspective of a number of central characters, i.e. we see it because s/he sees it. However, what suggests otherwise is the fact that on at least one occasion, Saul's and Angel's scavenging mission that takes place BEFORE the journals were mandatory, Micheal states that he is relating what he was told after the fact.
I am wondering if there is already some A-Team-like welding and metal plate bending going on at the colony...
But I hope that Datu will create better vehicles than this one by the Syrian rebels - though it could be directly taken from Mad Max:

Real tanks possess Playstation controllers!
What, if all this reading and looking back into the past is done by Michael alone, after all the Survivors were killed and beat to death by the zeehs, and Michael's the last one to survive and to having fled from the massacre. And now Michael puts things together for anyone who may find the entries ... That would fit the pretty common theme, that many to most zombie-stories end with a bad, very dystopian-style finale ...Quote:

I think the story is meant to be a narrative of the collection of journals that the survivors kept.Quote:

Maybe we are "new recruits" in the Battle of the Zed and these journals are required reading for anyone joining the fight...
The mind boggles at the many paths this could follow!
