Who wants to be an officer?! ;)

The start of the episode, when K.O.D.I. was doing its thing, is pretty amazing. The first time I heard it I was sure it was taking place in the turret of a Bradley Fighting Vehicle, the loud servo-motor sounds, the distant sound of tracks turning, the muffled radio sound. Once I knew what I'd been hearing I re-listened, and it was amazing how vividly the sound illustrated the story. The sounds of K.O.D.I. deploying, the sweat bottle breaking, the biters approaching and the explosion. Brilliant work.
I do have a couple of questions regarding K.O.D.I. How did it deploy the explosive that killed the biters? Was it the K.O.D.I. that was damaged, or was it Michael's HMMWV that was damaged because it was parked too close?
Anyone notice how Michael seems nicer and calmer? I thought he was going to flip out on Puck when talking about using more K.O.D.I.s but he didn't. Every time I thought he was going to snap at someone he didn't. Was even patient with the new recruits.
The biggest change I notice was that Michael used the word ZOMBIE!!
I couldn't catch his exact words very well. Did he say, 'Even us zombies don't want to be there.' when talking about the cold front in Boulder?
It would be quite the plot twist if the Colony was on the way to Boulder and thats where the helicopter crashed....it could leak an infection to the Colony, along with puzzling the mass into thinking zombies learned how to fly helicopters....
It must be a relief to not be the top dog in charge of everything. Sure Michael still has a lot in his hands and a bunch of responsibilities, but there's someone above him. Less pressure and more military power behind his back gives the guy a chance to be calm and accept the zombies.
Not sure how much to read into this, but right after Michael says "This is not good"...it sounds like the other end of the radio says "They're back?" before he says "Something's wrong"....at first listen that's what I heard, and just assumed Michael wasn't within earshot of the radio to hear the "They're back?" question
But upon further listening I guess it's Michael picking up the radio and the guy on the other end saying "You back" or "Come back?" to Michael.
Just clarifying for my own sanity
Ha ha. A new entry into the Museum of Misheard Dialogue.
That's ok. I heard Michael ask Puck, "Hey, can you get me passes?" after Puck throws away his origami. I thought, 'Passes? Do they get to go into town in Barstow or Yermo? Are they cruising for Zombie chicks?'Attachment 2134
