Chapter 31 Family Ties part 3

I am resurfacing from the abyss of boxes, uhaul's, unfinished homes and other bullshit to say enjoy the episode!

I'm back, up to date on the episodes and for the first time hating Scratch. Bring it!

*Waits for 9 o'clock*

Dumb question.... Which 9am? EST, CST, MST, PST?

9am PST
Noon EST!

I'm hoping we see what's going on at Irwin

I doubt it, given that we're at the end of a chapter. I'm thinking we'll get some more intrigue with the Mallers, possibly a scene with Brick's loyalty being questioned, and also of Lizzy learning of the existence of the incarcerated Burt. Also, a planning session with Saul & Co. outside the walls of the Colony, setting things up for their infiltration in the next chapter...

It's going to cut to several undetermined months later with Saul and Lizzy living in Boulder with their baby, Burt Tink. KC will do this just to make me go crazy with the timeline. :P lol!

Let me rephrase... I hope that we get a peek at Irwin as a teaser for the next chapter

Its up now.

CJ O_o' Wow! and LOTR joke for the win!

She put on the ring and the evil came out.. LOL.. Great referrence to Lord of the Rings.

I actually don't have that much to say about this chapter as a whole, Chapter 30 I had so many questions that I had to write them all down but I don't have much for this chapter. We got to see a different side to Scratch but that didn't last long and CJ yet again showed us that she has skilled ways.

I liked seeing that the Cheetos bag returned. Is it the one from Berts famous quote, "These Cheetos saved our asses!"

So we are set up for an action packed Chapter 32. I'm sure CJ will finally be ready to move. Are they going to start a revolution within the colony? I hope so! That should send the Mallers running and scatter them to the wastelands of L.A.

There are so many possibilities. I'm sure there is going to be a whole hell of a lot that goes wrong.

Hmm.. CJ kinda put it all out there when she "showered" didn't she? Kinda like saying "Oh look, this could be yours Saul."

Micheal basically help with her plan. If he didn't take the guns and she won't have thought of this. She probably thought of this when she heard Glenn story of the group taking the guns. CJ is soo... <3

I think Victor is right on the money when he said she is playing mind games.
If she really wanted Saul so bad, she should have gone on missions with him, rather than let Victor go.
Thank goodness Saul is a faithful guy. Lizzy is all that matters, not the crazy naked katana chick.

Viva la revolucion! Can't wait to hear this play out. Now the question is will we get caught up with Ft. Irwin before hearing the details of Victor's revolution? I think we'll see both inside the Colony while Victor is inside and get an update on Ft. Irwin.

Who prefers a crazy naked katana chick?

I dont think so. That Cheetos bag would have gone down with the tower, unless... unless there was a strong southern wind that blew that bag to the Colony and on top of that particular roof as a good omen.

Ok, so the surveillance episode came as no surprise, but we did get a bit more back-story into Vic and CJ's character and we have the plan in place.... sort of.

CJ's Plan
Looks like CJ's plan is to somehow smuggle Vic into the Colony and use him as a mole to gather information and incite another revolution within the Colony. The 'holding his breath' suggests a water infiltration, but unless Vic is going to swim up a sewer line or something, this doesn't seem likely. Is there a stream flowing into the Colony? How are they irrigating those crops?

Perhaps the plan has to do with 'bribing' one of the scavenging teams into smuggling Vic in within a crate or something. Still, I don't see how Vic is just going to be able to mosey around in there and not be noticed, or ratted-out to the Mallers by one of his old enemies. What is he going to do, just hand out a few pamplets?

"Tired of the Shitty Governance?
Maller Abuse Got you Down?
JOIN US!" (etc...)

Listening again, I noticed Victor said that they Zombie Clean-up Crew only exists in L.A. What is Pinstripes doing with the dead bodies then? Cheap food supply for his zombie army?

Behemoth food

If anyone is wondering just what a Katana looks like or what can be done with a good one, here's a video I came across of some guys using a katana to hack their way through animal carcasses, braided rope, mats, bamboo, copper pipes, and steel barrels:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3nAuowwqhI


Impressive! I can totally visualize CJ hacking her blade into that Zed Hed...

I think there is a method of using a Katana to put power into a single swing so you cut through in a single swipe and don't have to back the blade out, and for other occasions you have the precision to slice without coming into contact with things that would cause the blade to stick. So you have the strength to decapitate but also the precision to slice arteries without touching the bone.

I may be making that all up. :hsugh:

Oooh! Lots of character development this episode! Get to hear more about Victor's ex Wife, and find out that CJ is some kinda impressive. Also, more info on CJ. She owned a working Katana and has the practice necessary to use it? Annnnd, it was the only weapon in her apartment? Kinda puts a dampner on any idea that CJ was a cop or SWAT or something. A survivalist wouldn't /just/ have a Katana so hmmmm... My monies,on military historian or Curator.

But my oh my, CJ does not lack ambition. I guess a fully functioning town is better then an empty apartment building.

And it kinda means Burt's captivity will end like the pit and the pendulum! This is gonna be sweeeeeet. But I think a plot jump to Irwin is likley gonna be next episode.

I remember Pegs asking Victor about that while he was escorting Michael, et al. to the doctor in the Colony. Vic wouldn't tell them, but I wonder if he's told CJ. You might be onto something with that.

my thoughts as i listen:

CTFD! come at me bro!

"what do you got?" bazinga. speaking of, i want to get a machete for my BOB.

i like that, when she scold them for being loud she sounds like a school teacher.

"IT'S IN THE BONE"


the we're alive musical FTW

"is she gonna..." BAZINGA! apparently cj is hot.

really? lord of the rings reference?

so, vic and saul like playing with balls too?

dayum, she was setting a coup from the get go. this is gonna be epic... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO!!!!!!!!!!:mad :!!!!!! it's over... now i has a sad.

so it doesn't look like scratch will be taking her revenge on pegs, unless she can GTFO before the coup jumps off.

I also recall Victor saying that Sean was part of a team working on an indoor plumbing project.

This episode just cements it: Saul+Victor=comedy gold! We've had a lot of fire-forged duos in this show, but Saul and Victor are by far the most entertaining.
And CJ, what the hell was that? I'm sure the guys appreciate the show but that's just not right. Gonna have them boys walking funny.

And on a final note I'm with Dyhoerium: "Viva la revolucion!"

I am not satisfied by this episode. So unsatisfied that I don't want to talk about it.

Well CJ didn't have the strength to cut through. She got stuck in the bone. How much would that suck?

And yet here you are! :)

That sucks to hear, especially cause now I'm curious as to why! It /was/ a little short, but I think we got some good development out of the characters. Its much needed setup!

we can all but confirm the LA undead population is an uncommon occurance..though I wonder how much that has to do with inks influence vs relativity to ground zero.

More later...

Re-listened to part of "Catalyst"... mentioned crops being irrigated via hoses from water trucks. Didn't hear the plumbing ref but an aqueduct of some sort might have been built in Vic's absence...
