The CD's have allowed us to stay alive, and with new shirts coming out soon, that won't hurt either. The one everyone voted on will hit the store soon.

Put it on the direct download page. That and the forum are the only places I visit. I would use Itunes but I have too many podcasts on there.

New avatar and stuff work?

I must say that yes, I was wrong to think the Colony was good but I think it's not "evil". Evil to me is doing bad in order to just watch pain, the colony is more of a "business" (and I use the term lightly) the colony has rules that seem to have the law of "equal" or "balance" in society, for instance, if you are a doctor and they take you in, you work for them forever since they saved your life, you can be in the colony all you want, you just can't leave. The reason it's Micheal's arm that will cause Pegs and Kelly not to leave is that now they are in the colony's debt, they have to repay for being saved. Hope was weak and blind to the colony, when she came in she couldn't do much to them so she would always be a debt-ridden burden. So really the colony isn't evil, they just have rules of "you're saved you pull your own weight" really the colony has the same rule as the tower, you were saved, now you help out, only thing is with the tower you can still leave and come back, the colony you can't. I see that Mike, Pegs, and Kelly will brake out with the help of Hope or the nurse (name escapes me), one will sacrifice themselves, I say Hope so she can be with her mom again (if not I see daddy-Datu coming soon), the group gets out and now the tower has a doctor.

That doesnt seem very Michael-ish if he would let Hope Sacrifice herself for the group. If your theory actually happened it would be more of Michael sacrificing himself. Which I hope doesnt happen. EVER

Seriously KC, Michael dies and I cry for a month. Do you want me to cry?

She's doing more than just that, I'll wager.

Well lets throw this out into the collective brain trust: Maybe one of the Colony's goals is not human experimentation but experiments on the zombies and all the other assorted creatures now littering the landscape. If Tanya was a medical practitioner before the outbreak, it would probably be insulting to her Hippocratic Oath. Might explain the smell.

And again, that wouldn't necessarily make the Colony evil. It makes them not specifically nice to force someone to experiment on a bunch of zombies to try to learn about weaknesses etc etc, but it doesn't make them evil. I guess I'm having a resistance to the black and white nature everyone is painting the Colony with. Now, if we meet Marcus and he's got a brown shirt and a wee little mustache, ok. I will then paint them in black and white. But, again, without knowing why they do what they do, you can't just say "EVIL!" and leave it at that.

He does have kids of his own. They're what motivated him through everything before the world fell apart, so don't count him out on his parenting ability.

But besides the fact that he's missing his kids and Hope is missing her mom, they could also be drawn together by the old "I was with her at the end" thing.

ok so some things i have to clear up, i tend to exaggerate, so when i say evil incarnate, i just mean assholes, they can be like the mafia, all im saying is that they arent the nicest people in the world, for the most part i'm trying my best to somehow justify a tower/maller tag team.

nikvoodoo, i really really hope u are just over analyzing angel's blood loss, and that he'll be ok. mostly cause if Angel goes down the tower's first line of defense, is now gone, all 3 soldiers are incapacitated, and burt as leader has responsibilities to stay at the base and keep the masses under control. (plus the fact that saul and michael are out of commission means Angel is kicking ass and gaining exp, so if he goes down too then that goes away)

I can see datu hanging out with Hope and that interaction gives him ehem "hope" and he finally gets out of his depression. Unfortunately i hate datu, and this would mean he gets more screen time, but i suppose it would mean he is less annoying. (OR OR OR, he could jump of a building and just die allready)

It's kinda sad that Tommy died, cause if he hadnt then he coulda had a cute little romance with hope.

I have to admit, as soon as I read that, the thought of him building her some new eyes popped into my head.
