Here's that thread!
I've lost track of all time lately and totally forgot this was coming out today. Guess I'll save that Tech News Today podcast for later. This takes priority!!!
I'm still listening, but man, Burt is off his game.
you mean the voice work or his aim?
Edit: nevermind its the aim
His aim. If you haven't listened yet, it's pretty obvious plot point.Quote:

I saw, and for now I placed spoiler tags around your content. Not really a policy or anything, just a temporary thing.Quote:

I'll hold off on my comments for a min as well.
Um... I'd say spoil away-
you might want to spoiler tag this then...
Oh snap! what a twist. my prediction right now: the shooter is not the rat. the shooter just took a huge risk to get rid of Pippen. a) the shooter could very easily have been caught and outed themselves and b) they just made shit a hell of a lot harder for themselves and now anything that they want to do is going to be extremely hard. Considering that, as far as we are aware anyway, the rat has not acted against the tower for a while, I don't think they would take such a drastic step all of a sudden. Unless the theory that Pippen's family was held hostage actually applies to the Rat and Scratch just wanted to get rid of Pippen.
I don't actually know what crack is like, but I'm sure this show is the closest I've ever come to the experience. I get my little ~20 fix every Monday then spend the rest of the week with the shakes waiting for the next fix!
Great episode, infuriatingly great actually. Guess I should hold off until people have had their chance to listen before starting the obvious speculations.
if you reallly want to know what crack is like go listen to the gamespy debriefings. I don't know what episode but there's one where they discuss the effects of crack on people in their own special way.
ohmygod, they fucking killed Hope! Is she dead? shot? wounded?
Good lord that was a good episode, mainly the last couple of minutes. Even Pippin seemed surprised when he saw who it was, we better find out something on the next episode or I will personally light this website on fire. I'm kidding of course, just gaaaaaaaaah cliffhangers are evil!
Good work on this one, it's nice to see(hear) that tenseness again. I literally stopped working for a couple of minutes once the alarm starting going off and Angel ran to Burts Armory.
LOL.. well, if'n you say so!Quote:

F'n Angel: Ra1th, you're boy is an Idjit! We have a brand new jittery Butter Bar running around here and he keeps Sir'n me. I'm going to start calling him "Angel" (in my head LOL).
Why the hell isn't Pippin in a different room by the way? Same room as the monitors? That's just asking for.. well, it's asking for what happened.
Steven? Sounds shady, sounds crazy obvious.
Whomever it was, they're fast as foxtrot or the alarm is slow as shiggity.
I now find myself with the compelling urge to scream:
"Oh my God, they killed Pippin, You bastards!"
There said it. Feels good to get that out of my system.
Cliffhanger to end all cliffhangers!
So many questions now. Can't wait till Part 2.
The shooter could be anyone who is unhappy about Pippen being there or the thought of him taking there spot on the heli. Oi too many options for my mind to filter just yet.
And that "Oh its you" line from Pippen is such a mindjack.
KC strikes again I suppose
wow i can pretty much say i know who the rat is 99.9% sure of it.. best cliffhanger EVER! hurry up next week!!!
I don't think Hope is dead. I know it doesn't really help the suspension of disbelief, but killing the blind girl who's mother was tortured by Zombies at this point just doesn't make sense. If anything, I think maybe the shooter was someone closer to her that shot and wounded her to avoid suspicion.
The shooter was also using the silenced pistol that was missing from Burt's bag. So who had access to the bag between the time they packed everything and the time they left? Wasn't Saul's Mom messing with the bag when she was packing the medicine for him?
Also, where did you all pick up on another traitor? I thought it was the land-lord. Wasn't he the one who stole weapons, ammo, food and notified the maulers over the radio? Did I miss something where they figured out he wasn't really the traitor, or that there was another one?
No, I think he did recognized the shooter, whom we assume is the traitor. What I meant was, that pippen hadn't seen the shooter since getting to the tower. So from his encounters with the other tower folk since getting there he hadn't seen him/her. So by that fact, we can eliminate some of the characters as the traitor.Quote:

DAMN another great episode! OK so...
1) Burt is no longer Superman!
2) More and more "New" people are popping up amongst the Towerfolk - But Steven is still a doosh.
3)Pippen's accent doesn't matter anymore. LOL -- He either knew his killer from the maller group, or it was someone who recently met him while on guard duty. (hint-hint)
4) They might be able to repair this chopper, but now Burt & Saul lost contact with the crew.
5) Hope got shot!!! But I hope it's not fatal. Or.. Maybe they shot the tower's RADIO
. That's why Burt and Saul can't hear them. YES! That's it!!!
PS: Did anyone get a "Simpsons" flashback. "Who Shot Mr. Burns?" Mr. Burns walks behind the alley and goes, "Oh, It's you!" and then he gets shot. LMAO Well, I thought of it.
^^ They shot the radio. Nice catch. That makes perfect sense. I think the shooter was Saul's mom. She was the only one I recall messing with the bag before Saul and Burt left. So she's the only one that could have taken the silenced pistol out.
and ALSO...
The silenced pistol that was missing from Saul & Burt's bag... Was what was used to kill Pippin and shoot the Radio. ;)
--NEVERMIND You guys caught that! :)
I hope it isn't Sauls mom, I was just starting to trust woman again...
As you explore the forum more, you'll see how hotly contested the "Who's the Rat" theory is. Bill is who has been pinned with the responsibility as the thief, so the Tower assumes he was the one who called the Mallers. But that has never made any sense to most of us here. We all believe at most he's a thief and at the least, he was the patsy and had stuff planted in the elevator.Quote:

I agree with Crowbar: Angel is damned stupid! Who in the blue hell leaves a blind girl alone with a man whom you don't generally trust? Turns out technically Angel was right because merry ol' Pippin wasn't a threat.
So who has Pippin had access to since coming to the Tower? Tanya, Michael, Datu, Victor, Kelly, Angel, Hope, and potentially Steven. So unless he knew them from before, he had to know this person. Anyone else would have been news to him.
Big bonus for those pointing out the nice plot tie ins and theories about the radio and silenced pistol. :)
There are two silenced weapons. MP5 from the Colony and Bert's Beretta. Peg's has not been on guard duty. Gratuitous. So, it is important to the plot as a red herring or a piece of the puzzle. As an aside, if Hope has been killed the shooter is not likely a male. Hate to be crass, but a breeding age female is too important to lose when facing extinction.
Bill may have been the Hoarder or he may have been setup. A hoarder has lots of psycological problems. Could he steal everything and be so quick to give away his best booze?
The Rat does not have to be the Hoarder. They are two independent events. They could have been done by differenet people.
The Shooter. Again, could be independent events. But a case can be drawn for Rat/Shooter with a maller connection. A case can be made from Hoarder/shooter. The Shooter shot the prisoner and the blind girl. The hoarder could picture each as a drain on resources.
Alternatively, anyone of the above events could be a conspiracy with more than one resident. Burts armory goes off to investigate, but the shooter slips past.
Dammit! I just assumed that the silenced pistol was just another one from Burt's armory and not THE one from the bag.
So, it's the same one, then the alarm was simply a distraction to get numbnutts out the room. Boy did he take the bait!
That would explain why the person got into the room so quickly (or they had help).
[QUOTE=Arthur LaMarche;15918]There are two silenced weapons. MP5 from the Colony and Bert's Beretta. Peg's has not been on guard duty.
Thanks Arthur.
Hoooooly shit. Fuckin' eh that was a good episode :D
So my thoughts on the episode:
1) Steven's a little bitch. I wouldn't be surprised if he's the rat since he didn't want to go on guard duty, giving him ample time to conduct his crimes.
2) So who's the rat? Saul and Burt can't be (out at LAX), neither can Datu or Kalani (also driving to LAX), Angel's good (checking the alarm), and it's not Pippen or Hope. So that leaves Victor, Kelly, Michael (I doubt it), Riley, Pegs (again I doubt it), Tanya, Steven, or a minor / unintroduced character. Steven and Kelly are my prime suspects.
