I just got to listen, and I was wondering when Skittles would be brought up again. I'm surprised the regular zombies don't try to "taste the rainbow." I'm guessing that we'll find out his secret in the next couple of episodes?
I liked the comment about Tanya and her password; pretty relevant thing at work for me.
Ugh, krokodil is such a nasty drug, even describing it is horrible.....Quote:

Am I the only one who's really hoping Tardust will help our group? Don't get me wrong, it doesn't make up for anything he's done. I'm just crossing my fingers that he's being honest because his intel could lead to the downfall of Scratch ... preferably before she gets Pegs.Quote:

I'm scared to hear Riley break down when she finds out about Lizzie. I'm still hoping for Riley to shack up with someone. Who knows, maybe she and CJ will blow off some steam together. Considering that it's so close to the end, I doubt it but hey! A girl can dream! ;)
Over all, I'm waaaaay too optimistic and even though I want all of these things to happen, I'm still expecting everyone, or nearly everyone, to die in the end. Especially Michael. If he doesn't die, I'm still bracing myself for the possibility of a complete mental breakdown.
The strange thing about Skittles is that the zombies (and Ink) ignore him in the same manner that Datu was ignored by Jay, and Ink was ignored by the zombies after he was turned. Could Skittles be a slow turner or have a resistance like Saul and Tanya? Speaking of slow turners, what about the first slow turner mentioned? The one that bit Tanya. Remember James who arrived from Dunbar with Sean and Hope? (Wait a second, I need something...:tinfoil: OK, I'm back)Quote:

Prime target to continue his research, unless :tinfoil: he has moved on from starting with a fetus to something else.Quote:

- I believe I heard someone fer to a zombie attacking them as a 'her' once.
- Lucy, Tommy's sister. (Lucy? Tommy? KC, were you watching old 1950s Mickey Mouse Club episodes when writing this?)
Could be due to males being more likely to survive an attack long enough to turn.
Someone on the We're Alive Fancast facebook page mentioned that he was bothered that no one checked under Micheal's and Victor's truck when they returned to The Colony. Micheal made a point to mention that the security check-in was non existent! Like checking under the vehicles when Bixby drove the water truck back. (The reason Victor had to hide inside the tank.) No telling who could be lurking underneath.

So it looks like Witch_Doctor beat me to it, but my theory regarding skittles...
Duncan was bitten before before entering Dunbar and is a slow turner. More so than Tanya and Saul but less so than Datu. Enough that he was able to understand the symbols like Datu and that is how Roberts was able to get him to open the door to Dunbar. Duncan did it without even knowing what he was doing like Datu entered the church.
Just like Jay knew that Datu was turned immediately and didn't attack him, the zombies know that skittles is turned so they ignore him. Skittles may think he is running away and hiding in dumpsters etc. but in reality they aren't even trying to get him.
We we know that behemoths don't like other zeds and so they would chase him regardless and that is how we get the action with Angel and Kalani and changing the tire etc.
Now that Michael and Victor found out about the symbols and are learning more about what happens with the transition from human to zed, but they have lost Datu, they can seek out Skittles and he can help pick up where Datu left off and fill in some more of the gaps that our team needs to understand. He can also help find some more of the tunnels we need to send KODI in and bury some biters.
And now they don't have to remember the Tardust was there when Angel died because because the dumb*ss told them himself.... How much do you want to bet he "apologizes" for what happened with Lizzy when Saul is in the room.
I will add my voice to the out cry of "SKITLLES!!!!!!" & defend his availability by reminding people it's not easy being the bird & pig sidekicks to a very popular rabbit (read his bio). Maybe Kc finally got him back by finally filling him in on what Skittle/Duncan actully is (see q&a from 1st live event).
As much as I love the character he is more effective when used sparingly. And so far he has been used perfectly.
I forgot who said that not checking under the hummer was a bad idea...... But that us an awesome theory that I wish I had thought of myself.
It's all ready established that Michael does not check under vehicles (the hitchhiker on the pelican when they landed at Erwin), so this is a strong possibility. I would like to go on record to say that if any thing is there it's going to be Randy. And that he "followed" them from the arena (the falling pipe sounds when Datu was dying was him & he got to the church while they where laying Datu to rest)
Moral of that story... don't do drugs, kids. Seriously. At least not those.Quote:

Who ever that actress is (can't remember, don't care), I thought that her resemblance to Ms. McCombie was spooky.
Oh of course, i forgot. Now it's even more complicated!Quote:

And all this considering the real fact that Skittles survived on his own for quite some time.

Well, Tardust's mentioning of Scratch did not help anyone. And the big mistake everyone is doing, is taking Tardust's words as spoken: They assume that Scratch might follow the groups, but they don't seem to consider that Scratch might as well nter the Colony to get hold of the few people remaining there.Quote:
Originally Posted by Alizée

Why would Scratch follow the one or the other Colonists' treck to any place? She has one specific target: Pegs. And she knows that the most important thing she needs is information. If I were in her shoes, I would not follow some random group of Colonists, but I would simply stay put at the Colony, wait for the right moment to catch someone, and then I would strike. The poor guy or gal I caught would be the tragic victim tortured like there was no tomorrow, because I would want to know where Pegs is. And this poor fellow would tell me everything I need to move on - and if not, well, *bam* next one!
So, what I am telling here is that Scratch is not chasing some random group in order to find Pegs; this would be way too desperate for Scratch.
But to brake a lance for Tardust: He told Burt and Riley what he knows - that Scratch is after the Colonists; and I think he does not know the exact plans Scratch would like to perform, because after all: Scratch does not tell anyone what she is up to; she is used to having people follow her. So Tardust is a very unreliable source for any information about Scratch. The big mistakes happening here are how the Colonists understand what he says.
Tinfoils up: Scratch wants Tardust to get caught; and she wants him to tell the Colonists that she follows some random group of Colonists. This he has done. And he was successfull in giving the Colonists no hunch about where exactly Scratch is. Now she can act with the Colonists' defences down.
Best wishes!

Something like this ...Quote:

15 Pages, less than 24 hours good lord. Ok below are my take aways from the episode after listening a 3rd time. The first listen was live chatted up with KC and Liam, so you two may have already seen me discuss this.
Radios
This is about the 4th time someone has brought up the radios, relays, weather, etc. causing a lack of reliability on the radios. Keep in mind when we last saw Tardust and Scratch they were getting all upset over how they knew our heroes were using radios but there was no way to listen in. I'm thinking that they went with plan B and destroyed what relays they could find. This would force our heroes to resort to unsecured lines for communication. That would be my plan if I were Tardust.
Oops! I 'accidentally' deleted a photo.
Highly unlikey but I'm going to hold judgement on whether or not Tanya purposely 'accidentally' deleted a photo from Michael's camera. My reasoning for suspecting this is, well KC has made me paranoid but hear me out. They asked if she could read the signs, her or Saul, and I am curious on this as well. Michael then brought up "I want to make sure you didn't delete one" after plugging it into his laptop and speeding through the photos, clearly he has his worries. Lastly, she's kept secrets from the group before. No one knew she was bit for the longest time, then she had Vic keep the Ink-lewood trip a secret as long as they good as well. Do not put self preservation past big mama.
Skittles!
Like all of you I'm amped to "Taste the rainbow". But poor guy! Not even the zombies will kill him now? He is in some kind of Hell all his own if that is true.
Pregnant before or after turning?
Well we won't get an answer to this one. Thanks KC. I mean Tanya. @26:05 "Just one of the many blanks that won't get filled in". I think this was KC's way of telling us we won't be getting 100% closure. At least we can lay this one to rest.
Very Un-CJ
Leaving Phil, Max, and Puck behind...no safety protocol...oh and Phil and Max are going to work on the water tower...whats Puck to do? Yea your right Storm this is bad juju waiting to happen.
Cover Art
Has anyone analyzed this to death yet?
Thats all I really got for now.:tinfoil:
someone needs to create a Love Interest Flow Chart for We're Alive!
Speaking of cover art... Anyone WHO could throw together a brief description of what it might be? No need to analyse it in great depths, I'd just like to get an idea of what's on there this time. :)
Oh and... Where do you even find it? My screen reader doesn't seem to inform me whether or not there's an image in a post, so no clue if it's actually in the first post of this topic or anything...
*Feels like a n00b... Lol...*
Hmmm... Damn good point, had crossed my mind but only fleetingly briefly. Some more thought will probably go into it...Quote:

If it wasn't Bill, who was the actual traitor of the Tower? Etc, etc...) we've always have closure.
You might be right, but until it's over, it's not over and I'm not laying it to rest.
This headline makes me lol. I agree with the sub, but not the headline. I think by now we've learned that CJ can be completely and utterly ruthless, with like fifty million handfuls of perseverance. No, I'm not saying this because (as many of you know) I hate CJ (but not Ms. Constance Parng, I want this known!), but because she kicked Otto and Saul out of the Colony, probably knowing that Saul was going to take Lizzy. It may not have worked out the way she wanted, but she still did it.Quote:

It could very well explain why he is so mentally unstable.. If he can see the symbols. Imagine how it would screw with your head..
I really like the Idea of him knowing or maybe worked at Raydon with Ink. Would explain, as mentioned, why he let him in.. But also the Symbol thing was mentioned there too and that too could be how he knows enough on how to evade the regulars, if he worked at Raydon.
Skittles did say he could hide from the regulars but the smart ones he could not hide from easily. I would have to re-listen to the part where Kelly reads from the journal about what Skittles said.
We know the Zombies are attracted to smell. Its why the Sweat Bottles worked.. So I really like the Idea he either does not sweat or has some condition that blocks his scent.
But the thing is, I don't think each group knows who is in what group, or where they went to. I think only the top brass of the Colony know, like Michael, CJ, and the people required to plan the movement, such as Kelly and others...... So if Scratch waited at the Colony, she would not know who is in what group, only that they are evacuating the Colony....Quote:

All the packs seems male. Could be that Ink has them all underground breeding.Quote:

Something struck me, but no one else seem to mention, so maybe I am losing what is left of my mind. Ink talks about Angel. Gets barked at. Then he says he is really sorry about Patrick (?) and Burt cuts him off...
I have had a long suspicion that Burt has a connection to the Mallers. The RPG, Scratch says Locked and Loaded in the first encounter. The mallers have a huge fear of The Old Man.
So, if Tardust does feel sorry about Patrick and what happened to him, who is he and what happened?
I do not know. Shrug. Missing mallers...
Poncho, Scratch made an example of him, somewhere.
Johnny, got burned, someone calls for Johnny when the mallers are dethroned from the colony
The sisters. It is interesting that Scratch has two mallers with her.
Did he say Patrick?! Good catch. I thought he just say "that" really sorry about "that" and Burt cut him off. But great catch if it was Patrick.Quote:
