2 things I picked up on first.. Burt and Michael Narrated. So they will survive this Chapter and Ink is on to them. He had the hole filled back in. So they only entrance now they know about again will lead them back to the Arena.
Looks like Burt and Riley may catch up to ole scratch after all. Least they know where she is headed.. Well we always knew Riley liked other women.
I have an itch from working in my yard today but, I hate Scratch so much that I'm just gonna live with it.
Just thought I'd share that.
I've had the feeling ever since that moment when the big reunion happened... I'm pretty sure Victor hit it that night... seven or eighteen times.Quote:

Wow, you're right. I didn't even catch that.

at least this one didnt make me cry.
You're now on record. Let's see if it sticks.Quote:

(to be fair, in that situation though, burt should have been using an impact driver. no clutch to fucks with..but whatever, still cool).
the discussion between burt and riley was very nice. in many ways the situation now between burt and riley is much like that of burt and saul before. kind of a father daughter thing? (I don't know, perhaps im the only one to see it that way) but for not actually being a father...burt has had some incredibly fatherly moments.
I think we have overlooked one reason tardust would have his own "secret lair"....how did he end up in prison? whats the term "tardust" apply to? what did riley comment about the houses "aroma"....would the rest of the mallers approve of one of the upper management starting his drug habit up again? doubtful. not saying that's it...but if it looks like/smells like/acts like a meth lab.... *edit: to be clear, im not implying that's what he's doing there now but previously..like pre tower fall previously, when he could listen to the radios and get high all day previously
them fuckers sure did fill that giant hole in quickly......
I think that's all I got

Yay for mini-cliffhangers! ^^ We need a ton of them before 7/19.Quote:

The reason I bring this up, is back around chapter 8, when they started on the mission to track the zombies, Riley said she knew the real reason she went to the mission, but it was never stated. I thought, she liked Angel. I was sure about it from her reaction to Angels death back at the colony. So what was the real reason Riley went on the dangerous mission tracking zombies? The placement of the statement seemed to have meaning.
Burt Narrated in this chapter.. I do not see him dying in it.. Would not go along with what I have been noticing this in the story.. Those who no longer narrate are most likely to die. I think the the ones that narrate are alive at the end.. I guess I will have to wait till the end to see if I am correct.Quote:

with Burt/Riley speaking in past-tense about Lizzy's death helps all of us put some perspective on the flow of the last few chapters.
True, I never really understood what she meant by that......Quote:

Either way it ends with M&V in the same spot.
What was the reason for choosing the one which was published?
You are right. I was wrong. I corrected it. This one was much closer to your skills. :pQuote:

Turn everything you know up to this point on its head--within the confines of the genre. It's time to do the opposite of what we're expecting over the course of the next 220 minutes (give or take). It seems like a lot of time to tell a story--and it is, and isn't all at once--but he's got a lot of loose ends to tie up. A lot of relationships to resolve. He has already killed off a major player (and fan favourite. Thanks for all the years of great performance, Blaire. You did a really fantastic job.), so there's blood in the water already. Think of all the lives left to deal with:
Michael.
CJ.
Pegs.
Scratch.
Burt.
Riley.
Victor.
Kelly.
Saul.
Tanya.
Hope.
Hell... even Skittles is due to make an appearance.
That's a lot of ground to cover in three chapters, without glossing over big emotional beats, story revelations, and action. Granted, Kc has been able to work in tremendous amounts of exposition in action sequences, so in that respect he has literal years to conclude the story. There comes a point in time in every story when we reach present action, the inevitable moment when the past catches up with us and we're no longer seeing the story through the eyes of the journal entries, and instead we are living it in real time alongside the characters. We could see that moment come before the final chapter (a device that would further the doubt of listeners as to who will actually be the last man standing as it opens up the possibility for a very bleak, dark ending in which nobody survives but Ink).
The long and short of this is: We're essentially at the third act climax in the grand scheme of the story, and as such Kc is more likely to break with the formula than he is to stay locked into it.

My opinion is best summated with her "Why does it matter?"- But at the same time I felt I needed to clear the air. The first chapter in the series best describes her sexuality when she says to Michael, "You're not my type". Angel she wasn't interested in romantically, but he was a very close friend. The only two people she really identified with in the tower were Angel and Lizzy-Quote:

There's one thing about this episode that I'm a little confused about...
It seems to me that no one knows about Datu and Lizzy being dead other than the group that was with them when it happened. Initially I thought Burt and Riley's conversation was a reaction to Riley's upset over Lizzy's death but the second time I read it, it doesn't seem like she knew. There's the one line in particular that kind of twigged this in my head. Riley says something along the lines of "It's not like they've ever needed us before." when they were talking about the radios. It seems like this episode is happening the morning following the events with the Pelican and Lizzy's death.
Does anyone else think this too or am I just off in left field?
And Greg miller will be there. That'd be an interesting conversation. All the peoples from WND and WAfancast... well, except Beez :(Quote:

Riley and Burt's scene happens before/during the events at the hosptial. They have no idea they're gone.
Remember that time the writer dropped in and told us shit we simply didn't hear when we were listening? That was right now.Quote:

And yes, it can be considered seriously inappropriate but this part of the episode brought back some memories of the year 1997:

I'm going to defend kc on this. I use drills (chord less) almost everyday. I could relisten to this again but I did 3 times yesterday. I saw nothing out of the ordinary with that sound and I've drilled through concrete and had it stop and make similar noises.Quote:
