I am not wanting to predict but I feel we will see the intro to Raydon and then kick over to something else. I am not sure if he split off to Burt and Riley it would not sit well unless they have a part in what is to come at Raydon.. So it builds up to it. Well here is to waiting till noon today.. Damn Daylight savings time has be all screwed up. Come 11 I am going to want to eat and listen and I will not be able to.
For me DST has been wonderful. I can get home from school, and 10 minutes later I can download the new episode. Earlier I had to wait an hour. :)
Gives me time enough to fill the bathtub and sinks, reload Shirley, and barricade my front door. :D
It's Monday bring it on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I get so excited for each new episode nowadays. I used to be able to save them up for a while so I could listen to a load in one go, but now, I have to listen to it straight away. Too... Much... To... Find... Out...!
Ha! I didn't set my clock back, so I get it an hour before you guys!!!! SUCKASSSSSS! :p
Witch_Doctor How many time do I have to tell not to mess with time vortex.
Ok. #39-1 and #39-2 had to much "harmony" in them. #39-3 will end with some drama, cliffhanger, excrements hitting the ventilator ...
I won't expect Burt and Riley to show up. How well would they connect with "Chemical Reactions"???
I guess we will close the gap in the triangle Michael and Soldiers <.> Glen/ Datu and Tanya/ Kelly <.> CJ and minions; to #39-3 partially would be about Michael and CJ getting in touch again; and in order to fuel the background tension something bad should happen ... Do you remember CJ wanting them to do a special build job? That's what #39-3 will be about - I guess ...
But I may be totally wrong, and Mr Whiskers shows up as the minion-pet of Skittles rampaging through the Zombocalypse ... What a picture ...
Best wishes!
Liam
Sorry, I keep jumping back to before the time you told me. My bad. :D
Looks like I am wrong ... Still listening ...
Or worse, Zombie Sean holding a plunger from the running water project that got him killed.Quote:

That was a good and rich episode. Very creepy. I like it a lot.
ADLO have once again evolute. So what are we names these?
Attachment 2761
So Puck is calling them "little One" now ? I thought everyone called them the "numbered ones".
Interesting observation, in 23-1 (where Michael sees Randy outside the tower), Steven comments on the zombies that are following him: "a few of those were burned, did you see that?" (or something along those lines). Burns because of the chemicals???
Very good episode today, an air of mystery in it, a lot to think about after that. William Roberts = Bill Roberts, surely....
WOOOW! I love this chapter!
So... No formic acid or formalthehyde, or how ever you spell it... Seems more like we've got a mad scientist...
...With tattoos all over his body? O.O
William, you are one big mystery!
Wait I just thought of this, they can speak, read and write????
I've always thought it was the fire from the arena or maybe even the war with the Mallers, but hey, with new info.....Quote:

They've been calling them little ones throughout this season.Quote:

This story gets more unpredictable as it progresses. Every new revelation and clue become a nexus of what we knew, suspected or didn't understand and a multitude of new ways the story can go.
Good, someone backing my Randy = Starscream theory. :)Quote:

one of the first links i pulled up for "Follistatin" is for Follistatin Gene Therapy... that is being researched at my wife's workplace!!! no!!!
anyway...
so William Isaac Roberts = Bill Roberts = Ink
Ink has tatoos that cover him from head to toe. how many Pharmacutical companies do you know hire people with that many exposed tatoos? the broken down door with Police tape suggests that his office was a crime scene (of a killing? his capture?) or just a wardened off area for the Police to conduct futher investigations.
my conclusion: Bill Roberts was a researcher/technician for Raydon Labs before he went on his KILLING SPREE (Halo reference). i think his connection to the zombies is only of their evolution/enhancements/new breeds. plus that whole "leader of the pack" thing he's got going on... ugh.
if "the smarter you are in life, the smarter you are in death" holds true, then possibly your memories are intact, given you're smart/crazy enough--thus Ink's ability to use his former research to enhance his Zombie Army.
meh?
So I did some research, and the first chemical (Solmatropan) is a growth hormone (explains the little ones' rapid growth). Not sure what the second chemical Puck found, and the Follistatin, a chemical in the body that inhibits another chemical called Myostatin (which stops/slows down muscle growth... I think) Like this...... As for the Dr, could it really be THE Bill Roberts....? Interesting episode, shame we have to wait two weeks for the next episode.......

Puck mentions
Somatropin. More commonly called human growth hormone

Stansozolol a testosterone derivative

Follistatin

I do not understand the other things he says. mgs is often used as an abbreviation of milligrams. Araness? I do not know.
Nik, you should separate this thread to three different parts. CSI, Chemical Team, and those who want to just talk about the eps. With the chemical set that drop on us and the CSI info dump we about to get really messily here.
As the Leader and only member of the Anthony Robbins fan club, I am happy to announce that despite being fat Robbins has survived this Chapter! Free beers for everyone!
Awesome episode.. Lots of good info. Lots of possibilities.. The chemicals were used in the making of the little ones and others. Ink needs those chems to further his research. Randy is Inks gofer and he screwed up. I now believe him dropping the bottles were not on purpose. I think they spooked him and he had to make a getaway.
But this can go in so many different directions.. Now the 2 wk long wait. Man this will suck.. Then we will hear from Burt and Riley. Since we were not left with a heavy cliff hanger. But some one will remember Bill Roberts from the DVR and then it will all come back to them or Kelly will know who he is.
Holy Schnikes! This was meat filled episode if I ever heard one.
OK so let's take this one piece at a time:
1. Follistatin: a couple people have noted that it helps regulate muscle growth. Its pretty easy to draw the connection between that and the rapid growth of the little ones. I did notice something on the follistatin wikipedia page that seemed rather interesting
I've got a feeling that myostatin might just be the next thing we hear about in the podcast as a possible way to combat this stuff.Quote:
"Follistatin is being studied for its role in regulation of muscle growth in mice, as an antagonist to myostatin (also known as GDF-8, a TGF superfamily member) which inhibits excessive muscle growth."
2. Dr. William Issac Roberts: Alright! So Bill Roberts, the tattoo covered sociopath mentioned in chapter 2 and widely believe to be The One With the Markings, is a doctor/researchers at a pharmecutical company...wait WHAT? Footbutt hit this one on the nose, how many people covered in tattoos get hired as medical researchers? So unless this is another Bill Roberts we're talking about (maybe a relative, using his psychotic family member as a guinea pig?), I'm thinking the tattoos came after his arrest.
Also in the newscast back in chapter 2, Roberts was referred to as just Bill Roberts, and not Dr. William (or Bill) Roberts. So here's my guess, ol' Dr. Ink was cooking something nasty in his lab and got caught doing it. Ethics violations and police inquiries follow and pretty soon Dr. Ink is sitting in a jail cell slowly loosing his connection to reality. He rigs himself up a nice prison tattoo gun and start covering himself in signs and symbols related to his research (thinking back to the chapter 27 artwork). The victims' families that were mentioned in chapter 2, were the families of Dr. Ink's patients who probably came to him thinking they were taking part in some sort of drug trial and ended up as guinea pigs.
3. And on a final note, I don't know what those chemicals were that ate through that little one, but I'm thinking that might be nifty knowledge to have to an emergency. But then again, trying to weaponize chemicals chemicals like that can be pretty damn dangerous too. A shift in the wind at a bad time and you could end up on the receiving end of your own weapon. But I wouldn't be surprised if someone at least brings up the possibility of using that stuff against the zombies.
