Coming out a little early...
Oh really?
AWESOME!!
Sometimes it pays not to sleep.
Thanks KC!
Damnit, at Uni now and don't have headphones..... Gotta wait 7 hours D:
At least it seems not many people have noticed it's up....
DAMN
I have a meeting in 10 minutes!!! THIS IS HELL!!!
i must have screwed up something, cause i tried to download it via my iphone app and it has zero length.
now i have to listen to the lo-fi version via Stitcher!
I get up for work at 4am Eastern time for work... I have been able listen to it. Early for the posts.... but here it is.
****GOING INTO THE EPISODE. STOP NOW IF YOU HAVEN'T LISTENED AS THIS IS EARLY****
Good? Good.
Alright, here is my thoughts.
Acting was spot on again. As a father of 2 boys, I have been where Saul is (Granted my wife is still here, but the middle of the night crying). Nothing sucks more than to have your kid crying and you have no clue WTF to do. I remember very well waking up with The Bear (I don't think anyone calls him by his real name at this point), and feeding...rocking...singing....changing diaper....kissing....walking.... praying... to have my wife come in and take him... and he falls right to sleep. As a Father made me want to scream.
Still confused at WTF is up with Saul. I was ok with him being a dick at first b/c emotions are raw. He is spinning and confused. At this point it has been a day. He is cool with Pegs, CJ, Kelly... but treats his Mom like shit? I don't get it. One would think he would lean on her. I know they haven't had the best relationship based on hints from dialog through out the show, but damn. Dude is leaving to go to maybe his last stand and he gives her the cold shoulder? He treats the damn dog better. WTF dude.
Normally I would applaud this episode due to the character growth/interaction. At this point it scares the shit out of me. We have like 3 chapters left including this one? There isn't a lot of room left. Last Chapter didn't give us much. Lots of tease (Tardust), but no real meat. This seems to be more the same.
That may be the point though. Build... and build... and build. Then POW BAM WAM! Pressure building and such. Just with so little time left, and so many threads that need to be wrapped up, I worry the last bit will be really rushed. It will turn into a Michael Bay movie where there is a lot of explosions and not much else.
If this were not the end of the final Season I would not be as harsh. Just the final wrap up and I grow worried. We could have a whole chapter of the final Fight with Scracth, the History of Ink, and the final battle over all. Then a mild "in the future: fast forwarding a few months. That is like 3 chapters right there. We got three left. Just worried.
I was kicking myself for not getting through last episode. I relistened to the 1st 3 seasons.
Btw, when I was listening I'm curious if the ice cream shop skittles mentioned to Kalani and Angel was a red herring.
I also have a bad feeling about this. I will wait before I say what my bad feeling is.
I though of this at first (I have not listened to the episode yet):

Hey! How did you manage to get a picture of my house!?!

We're Alive goes to Kentucky!
I guess I'll say it:
Scratch raises Nicholas after she wipes everyone else out.
Well I guess Micheal and Pegs are back together.. She was with him and he mentioned Girlfriend when talking to Vic..
I think Saul will come around. But I feel since he shunned his mother and Pegs is taking care of Lady and the baby. I feel this maybe be the end for Saul.
I would hate to see him killed off but what better way to have a gut wrenching episode with him dying and Tanya being already distraught with the current situation.. Man that would suck.. Sucks to think about it.. That is one prediction I hope I am 100% wrong on.
It was good the hear Puck up and Gung-ho..
Pressure will bust a Pipe.. So who will break or burst under the pressure..
Michael goes against his even numbers theory............ bad things incomming.......
I liked the close relationships in this episode.
Ok, well, not the relationship between Saul and Tanya, but everyone else. I really felt sorry for her.
We have Pegs and Michael bunking together, and him openly calling her his girlfriend. Feels like a major hurdle has been cleared.
Pegs seems to have great motherly instincts.
and you see Saul's relationship between him and Vic greatly improved.
SPEAKING of Vic, he and Kelly seem to have a good relationship going. The little line about "I'll be impressed if you get the radios working"
"Then i'll see what i can do."
Pure affection from two people who don't like to broadcast emotions to bystanders.
And He and Michael have really become good friends as well. It seems that Michael has finally given him his "seal of approval" on Vic.
Michael also seems to be working well with Cj now. Even on little sleep there is no arguing, a good conversation between them, and is actually helping. It seems them butting heads has ended.
And when it comes to Cj, she even tried to make up with Saul. And Saul seems to be ok.
And Puck is still there, trying to make everyone laugh.
Now, i don't know about anyone else, but to me it sounds like Saul has resigned himself to die.
He told Cj that he had "to deal with this in my own way"
When she asked if there was anything she could do, he replied "Just keep my boy safe, can you do that?"
Then at the most heartbreaking moment in this episode. He made a note to say "I can't do this anymore" before they drove off.
This does not make me feel good about him going out at all.
First post:
Anyone else worried about them discussing their plans around the baby monitor with Scratch being unaccounted for?
Well, damn. Episode dropped early and I slept right through it. Oh well only two pages so far so I guess I'm not that late to the party.
All the character interaction in this episode was great. But now I'm worried. Saul making peace with everyone else but Tanya, it just makes me feel like something's gonna go down now. Some people have already said that there are signs Saul might be the next to go, but I'm more worried that the other group heading for Dunbar are gonna be the ones to get hit, either by a zombie attack or by Scratch.
Speaking of Scratch, I had a moment when Lady ran off where I was just sure that Scratch was gonna pop out of some bushes and get the drop on everyone. Maybe I'm just paranoid at this point, but the longer we wait for her to make her move, the worse it's gonna be.
On another note, I wonder how the Duncan sweat bottles are gonna work. I thought they were gonna have set up the cameras, but their now they're gonna use his sweat as a masking agent? hmmmm... interesting plan, but there's some real potential for disaster there.
The only other thing I can think of to add right now is: just what in the Sam Hell is up with that cabin in the chapter artwork? How do we go from where we are now in the story to a cabin in the middle of the woods? Will Riley and Burt take Tardust to some secluded torture cabin? Is it where Scratch is hiding out now? Is it some connection with Ink that Michael, Vic, and Saul are gonna stumble onto? Inquiring minds want to know!
I've been saying it for months: Saul's a goner... JOIN ME! Although, he does twist a knife in my gut more and more. Welcome to single parenthood Saul. And he does sound very resigned. Either his gonna die or find new purpose in life, but I don't see things happening that optimistically.
I think KC is having WAY too much fun watching us all freak out with Scratch's absence. Give us enough of a tease to know she's still out there and then wait. Oh the antici...
pation. :D
Scratch wont show up till the Finale.. I do not know why I think it. But I have a Feeling we will not hear from her till then.
WHY IS SAUL BEING A GIANT DOUCHE NOZZLE?!?!? :mad:
Ok, listenting now.....
Wait, Pegs and Michael are sleeping together? huh.
Typical that the baby goes quiet as soon as Pegs has him.....
At least Saul seems slightly more up beat now...... *sigh*
edit: Or not. He seems to be in doubt that all the plans are going to work....
I thought so at first, but they'll have to discuss their plans in the company of the baby. Not that they should worry that Nicholas would spill the beans, just that they have the monitor on when he's alone or sleeping, and talking at that time might wake him. Still a possibility, though.
Tanya is in the red suburban.
red cars= bad luck. That's science.
alls I got.
ghost Todd out!
Sooooo, Duncan runs out of the Colony on foot. MILES away from his water tower. Where's he gonna go?
*Cough *cough He runs into Scratch *Cough *cough
With Duncan, Scratch can learn: Any plans discussed around Duncan, and the location of Dunbar Tower! (Which C.J. keeps ominously touting its impenetrability.)
Maybe Michael finally turned on the appropriate music and Pegs could not resist any longer...

Nah, Saul is a role model of a tank, he is basically the bullet catcher in the WA-verse. He will not die because I think that Mr Wayland actually is a nice guy who does not to populate the world with baby orphants... or I could just be horribly wrong about that. :)
Wonder if this repellent will actually work.... nice idea though...
Oh boy, CJ moves in for the kill!
It's good to hear Puck speaking again, and cracking jokes as usual
Ugh, Michael had to do it..... Also, like Kelly quoting her own quote again, good old classic.
Well, this was a depressing episode, as usual. Saul must really hate Tanya..... Still, wonder if this theory about Skittles' sweat as a repellent, would make getting around pretty cool (but disgusting)
Well, it is too late to thank the NSA for breaking Ultra Wide Band beyond repair - the colonists would have a secure way of communication right now, including Nic's baby monitor: http://www.cringely.com/2014/05/15/nsa-help-kill-uwb/
Michael - "Didn't get much sleep last night"
Victor - "Oh?! The Baby!??!"
Michael - "Yeah... Something like that..."
Michael agrees with all of us that Pegs is a whiney baby!!!! +1 for the Forums!!! :britt:
