Happy Release Monday! Post your thoughts on today's episode here!

Wasn't enough meat in it and it was too short and I don't understand why Datu was dressed in a spiderman suit.

Pfft :P

I have a heart for a her and she tear it out. O_o' KC please stop this :)

Burt is not going to die until he bring down Scarface!

Umm... wow... good episode. It seemed short (as in I was into it and it seemed to fly-by) but damn, that was intense. I'm feeling for Burt and I am hoping he gets to beat the life out of Scratch right now. When she pulled out the hammer I was thinking she was going to beat Burt with it, when she pulled out Shirley I about cried right along with Burt. Why would you smash the hell out of a Desert Eagle? ARGH!!! I understand why she did it, but damn.. that is one powerful piece of weaponry she destroyed. When she pulled out the knife I was thinking "well there goes the finger", and sure enough... OUCH! Bricks seems to be more and more going to the otherside. I half expected Scratch to move on Burt and Bricks beat the crap out of her and leave her lying there and then release Burt setting up Part 3 for Saul, Victor, and CJ to come down and get them all out. Can not wait for the next episode.

Yeah I was liking Scratch last week.. lol.. she is back on the shiz list. :mad:

Anyone notice that Brick almost hulk out there. "It's mine knife now!" This the first time we saw Scar put in her place. She kept avoid talking to Brick and only talk to Burt. Nor did she said anything to Bricks about what she was going to him for going against her.

Mark my words, if Burt dies it will be here with Scarface.

Also Britt, Voodoo or Greg please buy a drink for Burt he had a bad day......

Yeah, Bricks is just about at his limit with dealing with Scratch I think. It's looking more and more likely that he's going to turn on the Mallers.
As for Burt, I'm starting to think he isn't going to make it out of this. We're seeing him be systematically dismantled before our eyes (ears?). I'm thinking he's about at the end of his storyline and might just end up going out to help Saul and Lizzie (and Vic, CJ and Bricks too, hopefully) escape.

I think this episode ended with, "Holy Shit!" From everyone, that was intense. The whole time I was like,"give her a fake location! Not Shirley! NOT HIS FINGER! Oh God why!?"

i can't wait for bricks to help burt use that knife on her. like newlyweds cutting a wedding cake.

I have work in 10 minutes, and I'm totally going to be late, but this was the hardest scene to digest. Honestly, the Samantha episode had NOTHING on this. I can only hope that Burt's scene was taking place relatively close to when Saul, Vic, and CJ plan to make their move.


Edit: I'm not fretting much about Burt as it is though. Losing his finger means:
::Walking Dead Comic Spoilers::

SPOILER 

Maybe we got another Rick Grimes here.

I was think about Walking Dead but the Gov. scene instead.

Dear CJ,
I think you are wonderful. You are my new hero.

Love,

Yarri

remember how i said i felt for scratch? Good job Kc! you fixed that in the next episode! :D

I want her dead again. No pity, no mercy and slow. I want her done slow. I'd have more compassion for a rabid dog then I do for Scratch.

Thank you Jenna I <3 you!!!!!!!!! You make me love to hate her!!!!

Anyone else get the idea that CJ really has her stuff together? She had a SWAT van hidden somewhere full of weapons. Smart woman. Seems like her #1 priority was to get guns, a LOT of guns, and ammo stocked up. I'm glad CJ is on Saul and Victors side.

Or is she? I like Cj but I'm still a little leery of her.

R1ath will disagree but...Burts scene was way more intense and tramatic than Angels

I reminiscenced the torture scene from The Divide. Its exactly the same concept, one held down the captive and the other played Gordon Ramsay's Hell's Kitchen. =P

I think Burt lost the will to live now. He lost Shirley and his trigger finger. =(

I disagree, Burt has survived this shit for months. He's not done yet. United States Marines are some of the most stubborn, willful, hard nosed creatures in the world. I say this with great pride as I'm the sister of one. Marines never surrender and never ever quit. Burt isn't done yet.

Very hard to listen to, I wanted sooo bad for scratch to take his challenge of a fight.
. I was closer to tears then I've been for a long time, more intense than the Samantha scene.
. Great episode.

Edit:
Also the sharp sounds of the hammer and knife added a really cool effect that made this scene more visceral and more powerful, and OF COURSE Scott Marvin's AMAZING acting was heart reaching with his cries

Couldn't ask for any better

They are? I didn't know. =O
Reading your comment, I'm guessing Burt will try and kill Scarface whatever the means too. =O

Oh most definatly after what she did to shirley. He was ready to kill her already.

If scratch really wants to get burt to talk she needs to bring in Lizzy. Burt has a soft spot for lizzy and saul, seeing lizzy pregnant would tip the scales

Can someone explain half the stuff she was talking about? I thought I may have missed something.

Give KC anymore? Lady, that man is mess up. :D

I'm pretty upset that Scratch has become a cliche character, even after she had some hope of being interesting. I was hoping better for her, but she's the "token black guy" (if you will) of We're Alive now and I sincerely wished it wasn't that way. Oh well, I can skip over parts where she shows up because it's easily seen exactly what she's going to do and exactly what she'll say now. I thought that CJ has become another weak character as well. She's got an overblown ego and is rife with hypocrisy. She demands that Saul and Vic risk their life for information, and then acts like it's a slap in the face when they do the same. The ONLY reason CJ is still alive is because of other people, and because Ink for some reason spared her life. Without Sean, and Ink letting her live she'd be long dead by now and if I were Saul and Vic I'd leave her for dead. The very second she referred to them as "tenants" I would have taken whatever supplies I needed and left. If she raised a finger to stop me, she'd get a bullet for her troubles. I LOVE We're Alive, but two of possibly the most interesting characters have become cliche and predictable. Shame. Good episode though, Burt is going to have fun tearing Scratch limb from limb.

Eek.. hope yer not refering to Penguine as a she, cause I'm a he! anyway.... after Saul and Victor meet up with CJ the SWAT van is mentioned. At about 8:37 Saul mentioned "there was something there too... a large, black, armored van" and Victor says something like "Where'd you get the SWAT van?" ALl the guns in the van come from her mentioning the gun racks in the van and Saul mentioning 1 good gun is better then all these, or something like that.

How cliche and predictable to assume Burt will tear her limb from limb. I would hope he would do something more interesting like peel her skin like an orange or cook her over a slow fire. Or maybe just maybe Riley will be the one to cut her apart. piece by piece. I've always thought that a chef would have excellent knife skills.

I wonder when CJ got the SWAT van, and if she shared that information with her prior "tenants". An armored van full of guns might have made all the difference when the Dunbar Tower survivors attacked the Arena to rescue Samantha. If they were kept in the dark about its existence than I think that's another hit on CJ's leadership.

Guess you could say the same thing about Saul... The Knight in Shining Armor going to rescue the Damsel in distress. Blah.. how cliche is that?

Can you explain "Scratch has become a cliche character"? My understand is when an actor/actress can can bring you to the point where are affect by very own emotions they are far away from being cliche.
