Condense it. Maybe edit it down to a link to your blog about it. It is a bit much.

Hey guys, this thread is to discuss 18-3, so lets stay on topic if we can

Please... Spiders see lists like that and could potential cause the forum problems.

Any theories on what they've got planned for Michael? They kicked everybody out of the room and kept him in the building that smells like death and worse. Victor laughed when Pegs said, "we're not sure how long Michael will need". Hope told Kelly and Pegs, "You're stuck here. They won't let you help your friend." Also, Tanya says of Hope, "She helped me deal with some crazy, nasty things, and Hope's not squeamish, I didn't consider that when I volunteered - ". I wonder if there's more to this Colony than forcing people to stay. Human experiments, perhaps? Some kind of combat training? Theories, anyone?

EDIT: I forgot to mention, it seems strange that Tanya would hate her job saving lives in zombieland. I understand it's busy and she works crazy hours, but a lot of medical professionals do that in the regular world. She's dealing with lots of nasty stuff, sure, but again that's often par for the course. She's obviously got medical expertise, so why would she mind saving lives? She's doing more than just that, I'll wager.

ill bet anything that there is some sort of zombie/human experimentation going on in the colony, they know about alcohol based cologne repelling zombies, we know how hard it was for the tower to find that out, combien that with the ominous feeling around the colony and u get some really messed up experiments

The Tower apparently isn't on the cutting edge of Zombie knowledge. Remember how everyone they meet seems to know just a little bit more than they do? Burt knew there were smart ones, Kalani and Samantha also had barbs about how much they don't know. To be honest, once they figured out that their smell attracted the zombies, the very next logical step that should have been taken was "Oh, we need to cover it up" I realize Riley tried with the onions, but really? How did they not think of grabbing some Axe body spray or something on one of their trips?

...ok maybe not axe...even if the world is doomed no one should smell like that...

Yeah it seems they forgot entirely about their little experiment with the sweat bottles. Hopefully in the next few episodes they could start using some tactics they learned.

On another note maybe thats how Hope was able to survive for so long. Shes blind but maybe she smothered herself in cologne or something to mask her scent so she would be harder to detect.

Thinking on the sweat bottles more, I think we should keep in mind they didn't think of them as a weapon when collecting the sweat. It was a scientific experiment. That might be one reason why the never remember that sweat can be a weapon of mass destruction. I know if I was being attacked by some manner of sea creature, my first thought wouldn't be to chum the water to get a shark to come to the area. I'd fight like the devil to get away/kill what ever was attacking me.

I always figured Hope made it to the Colony with a group of Other Tower survivors, who then bought into whatever system Marcus has set up and were going to leave her out there to fend for herself.

Nik,

Angel falling asleep sounds more from the adrenaline dump and pure exhaustion. Multiple cuts are gonna look a mess and any cuts to the face or scalp are gonna bleed like CRAZY. He's ok as long as he didn't have a blunt force head injury. And he doesn't sound like he's showing any signs of Shock. No confusion, clammy skin..
The cuts will be ok since he didn't hit any arteries. He'll just need a ton of dressing, stiches and motrin though.
He'd have to lose about 2 liters of blood to start worrying about his condition.
My question is this:
Did he have on shorts or something?

I'm actually surprised that with all of Angel's cuts (blood), and all the running around (sweat), that they didn't call more zombies to that place. Maybe Skittles will be left seeing them all.

As for the colony, I have a feeling that it's going to be more of people that can't leave because they wont let them. The doctor obviously seemed like she didn't want to be here, and Victor didn't really seem to have them follow him. Maybe they have a society where if your of any value (doctors, soldiers, authority figure), they deem you too important to leave. And its starting to seem like Michael, Pegs & Kelly aren't going to have an easy time getting out of there, especially with Saul's medicine and Samantha's daughter wanting to go.
