As Fredo puts it...Now they're six...Or...
Now they're seven Again...Surprised he survived this long though...Badass INDEED!
Nice to get their backstories. I really like how you get really close to characters here. Jeremy's probably my new favorite, NeXT to Bogart :D
The last bit...I have a feeling that could be Austin...Although...Wouldn't this mean that Ink's sorta already in the jail? Or maybe McKibben just got boofed later...Hmmmm...
Looking forward to next week for sure, I just hope we'll get some Ink soon XD
Good call Mr. Red Beard!! CJ agrees, Simeon remembers a whole lot of details.
I enjoyed their backstory session too. It's like The Breakfast Club: Apocalypse. Now that he has joined the group, and provided new tools and accesses, it looks like the pace will begin to pick up.Quote:

I love that part too...Also illustrates quite nicely what was meant with it feeling like you're in the backseat of your mind.Quote:

Omg, what a nail biter this one was. Love the back story's!
Of course I <3 the geeks being one myself. It sounds like Ink is already in there making bohemoths, and we do know that "Ink" their new celebrity is in there with them somewhere right? All them tats he got.
Yep, especially Jodi mentioning the 486s. Ah, the memories.Quote:

Actually, no computer research. I go back to the Comedore 64 computer days...Quote:

This episode's similarities to W.A. A Story of Survival.
While searching the cell phone that was retrieved from Station 5, Jodi mentions finding porn saved on the phone. Simeon eagerly offers to help look through the phone in order to find 'anything' useful. He's not getting anymore help than Saul got from Lizzy after she found with one apartment with a huge porn stash.
As Simeon watches the zombies, searching for patterns, he discovers that they travel in cliques, like way the Tower survivors discover the same after tagging the zombies with trackers in Chapter 7.
Speaking of research, I'm wondering how much of the jail's security measures are real and how much is artistic license. Can you imagine asking correctional authorities for detail of breaking out of a prison for a script you're writing?Quote:

Why the heck would you be concerned by our motley crew of inmates. In comparison to Fredo, the others are like Scoobie Doo. Can't wait to hear how Gavin feels after seeing what we were hearing...and BOOM goes the dynamite.
Well what I should have said was "woah, KC is a serious geek". Toolkits, VNC ... nice. More hacking and nerds in the apocalypse please!Quote:

OK I officially am feeling like a Nerd writing this on a Friday night and it's the 13th. Just sayin.
That is Austin McKibben, AKA Arrow Head. (The second Arrow Head. The first was Mom from the Mom & Pop liquor store)Quote:

KSer Eps 5 is out! Lockdown!!!!!
Four episodes have come and gone. With each passing episode, contact with other fans from around the globe has been waning. I fear the worst. Where is everyone? What tragedy has befallen the world? Nuclear war? Famine? Peak oil? Biological catastrophe? Zombies?
If anyone is still out there, know that there is still HOPE!! And, she's hiding a gun! So it's safe to come out from your hiding. To anyone reading this.
We're Alive!!!!!!
Come back we love youQuote:

He's very good at being an Indian or an Indian Chief, whatever you need he's willing to step up and do, make decisions, or let the control freaks take charge when they feel the need to exert their power. A great zen type of character. I like Jodi a lot too. KC excels at writing strong female characters. Episode 4 has been great at slowing down the action and giving us character development to get us toward the finish line. Bravo.

Can you imagine what Jodi could have helped the Tower folks find at the courthouse? Hell, she could have helped the Colony get a better information storage system up.
