A short but sweet one;
the pack of wild dogs analogy has been thrown around a bit as of late. And a thing to note about that is....even a wild dog that has had no interaction with human can be slowly coxed into caring for a human,to be loyal and to be trained....meanwhile, a wolf cannot be trained..something in The genetic makeup of the two is just different enough that they will show that difference, dogs can be lead....wolves cannot. Breeders have spent countless years trying to break wolves of this to no avail....
Now, think of that when comparing zombie "packs" to a pack of dogs....(Michaels words)
An Alpha of a pack of Wolves leads the females. Wolves and dogs came from the same base ingredients (Similar original organism) and dogs are just a subspecies in the same tree as wolves. Dogs are just wolves that have been bred to provide admiriable traits such as loyalty, strength, speed, etc... You can train a fox as well as a wolf, it just takes longer due to having to breed out the aggression i.e. Don't let the angry ones breed.
Where I pulled my info from

I don't want to sound like a dick, but Wikipedia isn't really the best source to pull information from.Quote:

I forgot which thread I was posting in. You're right. Only 50% of the facts apply here.
Continue.
Some more random ideas that sprang to life while listening:
Chapter 18, with all the Wizard of Oz references (Kelly's line, "let's see if the wizard can get you a new arm, her a new foot, and me...I'll just settle for a bottle of Jack", and Kalani's line, "...we'll drop a house on him [behemoth] later.") I now believe there definitely is a mastermind behind all this. Some weak sickly creature that even controls the zombie pimp king. It probably has powerful mind powers that allow it to make people feel sick when they venture into it's neighborhood. Probably some hardcore gamer kid that drank a very expired "Gamer Fuel" soda
Ch. 19-2 - Michaels broadcast to the Tower from the Colony was recieved by the Mallers. That is how Durai determined to head south to the Colony. Maybe?
22-2 - not a theory, just two questions: What is that game Saul was teaching Bert and what is Riley's callsign? I listen over and over but can't understand either.
Finally, a hairbrained idea: Riley went to prison for drunk driving and became Eastern Bay's cook. That's why she's the mole! (not really, it's totally Kelly)
I tried to figure out what that game was as well..not much luck there..and rileys call sign. Is the French word for bird, I'm not even gonna try to butcher the spelling...
I like the idea of riley as the eastern bay cook...havent heard that one yet!:)
Riley's call sign is Oiseaux? That seems like it would be tough for anyone but her to say! lolQuote:

The Riley being sent to Eastern Bay for a stint doesn't hold up well when you consider Eastern Bay is a Federal Prison for real badasses. I was thinking maybe she had one of her binge drinking sessions, got in a car, and ended up running over a pedestrian. But I'm not too familiar with laws and thier silly consequences *coughcaseyanthonycough*
I was thinking about the Angel/Scratch connection. My best guess is that they were tossed in the same juvenile detention/boot camp thingy; her for being a psycho kid, and him for hot-wiring and boosting cars. The juvenile bootcamp thing could also explain why Scratch seems so well adapted to taking on an authoratative role. Plus I can't let go of that one line she had in 21-1 where she shouts, "Get out of the killzone!" That word just seems uncommon for a civilian to use. That'd be like Pegs sayins something like, "We'll pull security." :P
