Here's the new thread!
First! (I couldn't help myself)
lol, I thought about doing that myself. Staying up watching the news so it's way past my bedtime.Quote:

Stoked. I am.
Can't wait.
Judging by this chapter's cover art, I wouldn't be surprised to find Osama in the Arena.
:o I can't wait!
A full frontal assault on the arena?!?! Pippen has to be a mole. Even Datu said it's amazing he made it as far as he did smelling like that.
And why did Durai head south? Maybe he took a crew to try and invade the colony.
Awesome episode! I've gotta say though, the first ad this episode was... interesting haha.
This episode proves a few things:
-The mallers knew about the arena... but how?
-Durai is still alive. Scratch says she has to report back. Is he near though? They already left the strip mall.
-Pippen is still sketchy, while he had a viable story, his wounds were fresh.
-Riley thought of Lizzy as a bit "more" than a friend.
-The mallers aren't as knowledgable as some may think. They don't know how the tower called the zombies.
Anyway, so with the arena now done. Where's Paul/Ink/smart zombie going to go? He was out of there beforehand, is he going to look for another place to gather?
This was almost a suicide run for the mallers. Where were they headed after? I imagine if Pippen is a plant, they were using him as a source to figure out when they can have the tower. The mallers are desperate at this point.
Nice to have confirmation that Durai is still alive. The group going south for supplies - maybe they'll run into the colony?
KC also made it clear that the mallers don't know about smell attracting zombies. Couple that with the comment from Datu about Pippen and I hope the tower will realize he's a mole very quickly.
Who else is surprised that they actually went to blow up the arena? I wonder what intel Durai & Co. had that made them do it. The tower only found out about it because of the trackers. Maybe the mole offered that information to the mallers?
Also - the arm of the zombie was significant! The number 5 and the arm that "doesn't look like it was ever human" helps provide support to theories of genetic testing. This is probably the best part of the episode for me.
Forgot to mention that. That's definitely going to be very significant coming up.Quote:

The arm
- It's long and pale (could be just the disease/zombification), but most of the normals have been described as pretty normal looking plus bruises and gashes
- The blood was thick. After being severed, it bled for quite a while. Not fully sure on the normal flow of blood from a severed limb, but I'm thinking it's slower in this instance
- Tattooed #5 - you can read into this all you want. Could be genetic testing, could be many other things though. It could be something that "Ink" or "The one with the markings" has been tattooing to his faithful, could just be a gang tattoo (although, unlikely)
- "Endless fingers" - Not quite sure what this meant, but I'm guessing it means it had more than 5
- Filed? fingernails - are they filed or are they designed that way (genetically)
Hmm, not sure if the math is wrong, but Tardust has some funky math regarding the tankers. There were 6 surviving tankers, and 4 that didn't make it. However, he says they needed 8, and that he had even added 1 more tanker in case of breaking down. That would be 9. Nothing important. Maybe I just am not understanding it the way I should.
Adrian, I'm not sure if Riley views Lizzy as "more" than a friend. It appeared to me in that discussion that she was just upset about her close friend.
Wow Riley way to be a bitch. Claire Dodin said that her sexuality would be revealed, well if she was going to be straight, that roof top would have been a great place for her to have kissed Angel, or revealed that they'd hooked up. Also my hookup theory as to why riley wasnt in her room, and why Angel was so eager to go back to bed, was totally wrong and thats totally lame. I wouldnt say this solidifies that she's a lesbian, but it's yet another nail in her coffin. (not that her being gay is a bad thing, I just wanted her and Angel to hook up ) Oh and if she IS gay, then what is she doing all in love with Lizzy? That’s not cool, she’s with saul. Lesbian or not, there is a code here.
Second, on the point that the Mallers are dumb. This would be a huge mistake and a huge underestimation of their talents. Not all of these guys are rocket scientists, but do NOT underestimate their leadership. Durai is a genius supervillain, oh and to all the haters who said he was dead and scratch was in charge, SUCK IT! (includes you greg miller!) Durai is way too good a character to be killed off behind the scenes. Obviously the Mallers have had a different set of experiences than the tower, and so they’ve developed different weapons and gained different intelligence on the zombies than the tower. For one thing, these guys know for whatever reason that the zombies will hunt you. That they will FOLLOW you and hunt you down. The tower is not aware of this. They’ve also got their hands on a weapon of sorts from a safe. Bet you that its an explosive, maybe an rpg, maybe grenades, who knows.
Oh and Durai heading south. I think this adds in favor of Nik’s theory from one episode ago. The Mallers have heavy duty radio equipment. The colony has heavy duty radios… Perhaps they have been in contact. Its too soon to say that there is an alliance between the two, or if Durai is down there with a scouting party, readying themselves for an assault on the colony. But I’d say the colony definitely has something to do with why Durai is down south.
Also, Lizzy, DUMBASS! If the Mallers are not aware that you have a method of calling the zombies THEN YOU DON’T GO TELLING THEM! Yes you can have them be afraid, but that only works on STUPID people, Durai will take this into consideration when he attacks the tower next, and we lose our trump card.
On the subject of the small ones. They aren’t children and they aren’t chimpanzees. If it was a monkey, then the arm would have been hairy, scratch says that this one had no hair. The fact that it’s nails were filed into claws, and that it was branded with the number 5 is worrisome. I’m getting the uneasy feeling that this thing is a hybrid creature. Scratch specifically says, it doesn’t look human at all. This thing may never have ever been a normal living human being turned by the virus. Makes you wonder about the zombie queen theory. Makes you wonder what Ink’s role in all this really is. Maybe he really is just a general and commander of the zombie attack squad while there is something else. Maybe the virus mutates in response to certain stimuli. If this thing was engineered, how’d they do it? For now, we have NO evidence on this, so no point jumping to theories, its like trying to hit a target at 100 yards while blindfolded.
Also, she said she was out getting a cigarette... :DQuote:

If you never had the experience to learn a specific element, you might never have known it.Quote:

What an episode.......this was the most confusing and fast paced episode yet.......I am still trying to figure out what happened at the Arena, Tardust is a pussy...big time. All I gather is that their Axle broke, they detonated the bomb, and they are stuck. You couldnt hear an engine running, or them having a collision that would hurt the frame of the truck. I am really lost, someone please tell me what happened with Bricks, Tardust, and Lizzy
they stayed in the truck because they were just outside, or really close to being outside the bomb's kill radius. So getting out and running wouldnt have done them any good, they hunkered down and tried to survive the blast. I'm pretty sure they'll live. They might be injured, may blow out an ear drum, but they'll be fine for the most partQuote:

If it is Ink, I believe that when Datu and other humans got taken to the arena, maybe it was 'Experiments' that Ink was performing. Maybe...just maybe... (wild theory in 3...2...1.) Samantha will return as a zombie! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1Y73sPHKxw
@Bulldog711
K.C. loves his cliffhangers! :)
P.S. @Ra1th
Angel doesn't deserve Riley :P

It's hard to change the way you feel because of a "rule", I can imagine it being even worse if you are lesbian or gay, it not exactly a large pool to begin with.Quote:

So the original convoy had 10 tankers, and they lost 4 tankers so now they have 6 tankers right?Quote:

There was a second call, Right as they began the attack on the arena @ 16:44,There was INK's call, the one we all know so well, But then, right after that, there was a second call, this one was different, it was more hollow. I don't know if there is a significance to this or not, it might just be that Kc and Co had to fit in all the zombie growl winners, but maybe there is a difference between the colored one and the marked one
I noticed that too. It doesn't sound like the same person.Quote:

Durai seems to be going south to scout the Colony, because 40 Radios with 40 Channels, they had to have heard the call Michael sent out. Durai would be the more likely person to scout south because he wouldn't trust a possible stealth mission to anybody else but his most trusted. He sent the rest of his lackies north to the tower to blow it up and probably distract the creatures for a while. I honestly think Durai has known about the arena for quite some time now, because Latch and Scratch said he had a plan for the tankers in a previous chapter.
Prediction: Bricks is going to end up saving Lizzy because he finally figures out she knows more than they thought about how the creatures operate. Tower sends a small scouting party to the arena to figure out what happened, and come across Bricks and Lizzy. Tardust gets attacked by a creature while they are trying to escape after the explosion. Lizzy finally figures out she's prego.
It may very well be that the reason Durai is down south is not because he's scouting the area, but because he's meeting with the Gatekeeper, and they've reached an agreement of sorts. either way, Durai must have been down at the colony, and IN THE SAME AREA AS THE TOWER WHILE THEY WERE THERE.Quote:

tar said that the mallers have moved on to something bigger and better than CB radios, I think they have a set up similar to that of the colony, Which is why they may have been in contact, and that may be why Durai is down south right nowQuote:

I'm kinda wondering if Skittles learned to mimic the Howlers. More than likely wrong but that would be cool if he ended up be the second howl.
In regards to the secondary howl we're all talking about, we have heard that before back in chapter 13.
This again goes back into how many super pimp zombies are there. The mallers leading the assault did stop so its possible the one in the pin stripe suit had a chance to overtake the convoy
the episode is not buffferning/loading for me, it looks like its playing but i hear nothing and the bar doesnt move...
Here is a direct link to the .mp3. Let me know if that worksQuote:
