Is "Cohen" a last-name in the US? I think so ... What, if Skittles aka Duncan is Mr Cohen? That would also add up to the situation when Skittles as Duncan allowed Bill to enter CJ's tower ...
Best wishes!

Miss a day or two and you guys put some great stuff in here.... :)
I really like Grog's idea of the jail as Ink's Experiment Zoo but I think that he would have had to start that after the hospital which was after the arena so the number of subjects to work on would be few and far between by then.
I'm still leaning towards the Mallers. As was said before, the soldiers have never seen the Mallers but have to know that they are out there. Well, at least know that Scratch is out there and probably have an idea of what she looks like (pretty distinctive facial feature...). That's irrelevant though if the Mallers ambushed them with an IED for the truck or a claymore-like device in the jail.
As for the Mallers not wanting to attack soldiers, well, do they guys look like soldiers? I think that they might not be wearing uniforms any more since each of them had what they were wearing from Ft Irwin and that's it. They may have tactical vests and helmets, but by this point just about any human survivor would probably have some sort of load-out. I would think that the Mallers would look at them and say "Holy crap. They got some nice stuff - let's take it!"
And then there is the idea that the Mallers didn't have a choice to engage. Perhaps it all went down in the jail where the Mallers were holed up. Puck & Co park the truck and start making their way inside. Having spotted them coming from a decent ways off, Tardust activates an explosive trap inside the entry. Carl doesn't see the wire and trips it. He and Muldoon take a face full of shrapnel. Robbins is behind them and gets a dose of the blast as well. His girth shields Puck from the majority of the blast but Puck still takes in some high speed metal.
At this point I'm wondering if the radio that the guys are using is on Puck or in the truck. I think it is with Puck and he got behind some cover right after the blast. He's hurt, bleeding, and possibly going into shock. He makes the call to Michael and asks for pickup and the doc.
Now, my guess is that shortly after this, Puck will be radio silent and when the troops arrive at the jail, they will find the bodies of everyone but Puck. As they look around and sort out the scene, a very familiar and distinctive voice will call out. SHE has Puck and is willing to make a trade.... :omgomg:
"Cohen" is a last name, although i can see some hipsters naming their child Cohen Lee, or something.
"Duncan Cohen" could very well be Skittles, and if (like you mentioned) he may have recognized Bill and let him in...
man, this could get REAL interesting....
Scbubba, I was thinking of the jail as Ink's starting point, before going to the arena. The chapter title is chasing ghosts, so I do not think they find the current location. Ink might orphan some of hs creations, or if they lack the brain power or are too hard to control.
Also, there could be an intellect working with or above Ink. Ink was marked just before the outbreak, so there might be others. From what we have seen so far, Ink could be the center of the special ones in LA, but it is hard to orchestrate a world wide outbreak from jail for almost a year before the outbreak.
I have read some very fine points. Though it feels like we are missing something and KC is sitting there reading what we have to say with a delighted smirk... XD yes I am weird. Anyways, he is sitting there waiting for us to pick up on these small hints he gave us and we have yet to pick up on.
We keep going around the fact that Puck heard GUN shots. He didn't say Mata shots or even the fifty cal just gun. This seems to support the whole Mallers theory but for me it just feels wrong. I don't think it was the Miller's, they seem to have a bit more tact than what's stated to us. If it really was the Mallers they would have attacked Puck who we know is by himself at the time rather than the group of three soldiers.
Also in the background behind Puck's voice you hear nothing but his shuffling around a bit. So he had to have been hidden somewhere quiet like possibly the Cheif's office. That's what I am thinking about currently. I will come up with more later when I make my friend listen to it with me... or try to make her listen to it with me and study it together.
Have to admit, Duncan Cohen does make a whole lot of sense. It does sound like it "clicks"....
I agree but I think it could be scratch as well.
Why has anyone not brought up the genuine explanation? Plain and simple - Robbins was hungry and could not restrain himself and decided that it was about time to nibble somebody's brain...
I just relistened to the episode, and maybe I just missed it, but when does Puck say he heard gun shots???
I am leaning toward zombies over mallers now due to the fact of the cover art.
We assume that the duct tape is a sign from Puck leading Michael and Company to where Puck is hiding.... If it is going to be easy enough for Michael to just find it and follow it to Puck...... Why would the mallers not just find it and follow it. I am assuming that the zombies aren't smart enough to figure out that the arrow means go this way....... Also, If Puck was in a life threatening situation, wouldn't he be sweating??? Are the zombies not attracted to that anymore?
now....
If it is not zombies, and it is the mallers..... I would assume they have placed traps around the jail but are not actually there at the moment. The guys hit a trap, most died, and Puck was injured and crawled to safety. The duct tape could show how to get around the traps, but if thats the case why did the army guys trigger it?? Or could lead us to Puck, which once again, why have the mallers not just followed it and found him?
You know i think the soldiers could take the maulers so im thinking inks lair
I haven't been very active on the forums for a while so I apologize if this has already been said (still trying to catch up on the pages and pages of posts). Witch Doctor, your comment here made me think of something. Pardon the :tinfoil: for a moment, if you would.
If the zombies are the result of some sort of chemical experiment gone wrong (or right?), what if they have the ability to develop new traits through chemical exposure? Perhaps Randy was getting chemicals that could result in changing a normal zombie into a slow-turner zombie. I seem to remember a comment about the chemical having something to do with the proteins but I'll have to go back and look to confirm.
If the zombies are going through the effort of altering their turning abilities, I think our survivors are in for a world of hurt. As the Doctor says, the victims are getting to safety and mingling with other survivors. If people are letting their guard down and we have Saul, Datu and Tonya all turn at once ... well, not pretty.
Woah, Jannit, welcome back to the forum! :)
We are all waiting for Scratch's fabulous and extraordinary return, basically. That would most certainly boost the overall morale!
It is good to have you back.
Wait, did you miss the episode where she was attacked and killed by a low-grade biter? You remember, where she was going to her safe house and that random no-name zombie ran out and turned her into dinner? It was a small part, clearly not that important to the overall plot and completely realistic given the constant threat zombies pose to the characters.

*Hides*
Don't shoot me! <3
Ah, THAT particular episode! Yes! It was declared to be non-canon by Mr Wayland. Remember the beginning of the episode when CJ was slowly tortured to death when Scratch forced her to drink large amounts of non-homogenized, lactose containing milk? Mr Wayland decided to revoke the episode as he wanted to keep CJ on the show...
Welcome back,we have missed you...
As a refresher, I remember several drugs from Raydon Labs. I will give the common names not actually used in the podcast...
bigger muscles and stuff
Testosterone and human growth hormone
Better endurance
Red blood cell making hormone
Appetite stimulant
Hungry hungry hippo juice. Ok, I made up this name. If you want to grow big,you got to eat big.
Super muscles
Follistatin. This is the most scifi of the drugs. The other ones are standard fare, this one is still experimental.
Thanks for the welcome and the refresher, Grognuard!
So it doesn't sound like my thought was all that likely after all but hey, who said we had to be logical when we put the :tinfoil: on? Oh well. We've still got a few months left for crackpot theories.
Who is ready for this monday, lets see who was correct!
Wouldn't be surprised if it's something no one expected....
like...the Spanish inquisition?... noboby expects them!!!
Oh crap! If we've gone Monty Python then the end may be near indeed.....
Now, who wants spam?
I want to know when we're going to hear more about this Austin McKibben guy that Victor recognised in Chapter 40...
I'm looking forward to that, seeing as there's still quite a few loose ends to tie up. It will be interesting tomorrow to find out what's happened to Puck and co.
Yeah, and then watch Kc pull some bullshit like a "Meanwhile, back at the Colony...." and we get 24 minutes of Pegs planting soybeans...
I can picture the dialogue:
CJ: "Pegs, its time we slaughtered the cows. The people want burgers."
Peg: "No! You can't! I mean, Mr Moo's calf is soo cute. You can't kill the cows!"
CJ: "The majority has spoken - their just isn't enough grass for them to graze and everyone's looking forward to enjoying a meaty treat for dinner"
Pegs: "I'll plant soya - lots of soya! We er.. can make veggie burgers! Yeah that's it - veggie burgers! They'll be great with carrots and strawberry deserts and..."
*Sound of rifle being discharged*
CJ: "Hey! You there - yeah you, the guy with the machete. Throw this one over the wall and make a start on that beast over there. I like my steaks juicy and medium-rare"
They'll probably manage to find it next to Puck's dying body...
Of course it is! Many of my best friends are lumberjacks, and only a few of them are transvestites!
