I already don't trust Simeon, My theory is that he is going to be portrayed as a victim. Then at the last lockdown episode we find that he made a deal with Ink to betray other humans for his own protection.
One of the reasons I think this is because the inmate Chuck Wonders how he made it so long in the prison without his ignorance getting him in trouble. I think Simeon is just playing stupid and that he pulls the strings from the shadows.
He certainly parallels Pippen in the story. They were both sent to either infiltrate and or sabotage our heroes. Both looked on suspiciously, and confined. Both plead to be believed. But would KC write the same story twice, a la Star Wars; The Force Awakens? I would hate to think that he is lying when he describes his time in jail because then, the whole Lockdown story would be a lie.
I wonder, though, exactly what was he promised by the Mallers in exchange to dropping off the explosives at the Colony. he could just as easily have sought the Colony's help instead. One thing to keep in mind is that the explosives were taken back to the Colony with him. Maybe he will compete his mission after all. :squint:
Does anyone think that he really is the only one that made it out alive? Could some of the other inmates have also escaped?
The Mystery of if Chuck is not on the poster is not a mystery we just forgot the obvious that KC "R.R." Wayland might have just killed off a character we liked
More like "Roar Argh". Sorry, I'm not sure how to translate the zombie trumpet call literally.Quote:

EmGeeToo on Twitter has a theory that when the soldiers are in the Twin Towers that Simon will open all the doors and make his escape while the soldiers are being killed.
What a horrible thought, I like it!
That is amazing! Perfect!Quote:

He is unfamiliar with The Colony, so that means he wasn't part of the group of captives that the Mallers brought with them when they took over. Heck, maybe he was the one who shut the doors behind the Soldiers blocking their escape. WOW!!Quote:

I think Simeon would have been more likely to have thrown himself at the soldiers' feet than flee. Also it's at least 3 months between the soldiers investigating the Twins and the Mallers picking up Simeon, or Puck would still be rehabbing and not running an Op. It's going to be interesting finding out how Simeon's been surviving for over a year, whether in or out of the Twins. Who the heck does he think he is, Skittles?
Thinking about it more, there is that moment when Simeon overhears Gavin and Dani talking about ditching the inmates. Hmm, and then there's his snarky reaction to a scene in 5 of 6. But he does claim to CJ he's not "that guy" anymore. Perhaps the experience in the Twins does change him for the better. Still on the fence.
You're right, He just doesn't seem the type to last that long. Then again, there is his answer to when he was there; "To the brutal end" or something like that. I hope that fence doesn't break, I'm on it with you.Quote:

If Simeon is telling the truth he was trapped in twin towers for a year, I can't imagine they were all in there for a year, I think things would have gotten ugly before a year was up
If you string a lot of Simeon's reactions together I now can't see that he's an evil/bad guy. He was the most upset/distraught at Chuck's death. When Jeremy and Bogart get trapped he's the first one to ask about their rescue. Same for the inmates they find barricaded.."if there's a silver lining to all of this, we might have just saved their lives." I'm sure their are other instances. At the very least the man's an enigma.
I am hoping to be surprised. I don't mind being wrong.
Ha ha!!!! I was wrong on EVERY SINGLE ONE of my predictions in WA; A Story of Survival!! Still one of my favorite stories, ever!Quote:
