Is trainee code word for red shirt?
Jay was a background character in the colony fight in chapters previous... so he's not really "new"...
So so so so so so so excited!!!!!!!!!
And wow, I thought Puck were going to wave bye-bye this time. Hehe.
Oh, and Randy...Raaaaandyyyyy!!!
Damm that was cool! Wow wow wow, just as exciting as the very first episodes! Pfff damm this was intense!
Ugh. I can't get this to play! QQ How long does it take before the episode is up on Stitcher? Never used Stitcher before.
Thanks a bunch Kc!
Oh yeah, the story's starting to pick up some serious momentum now.
A couple of initial reactions:
1) So now we have the return of Raydon Labs. I think we've all been waiting for that Chekhov's Gun to be fired. But I got to hand it to ya KC, I was starting to doubt whether or not it was going to be important.
My prediction, and it's probably an obvious one: We're gonna end up going into Raydon Labs for a little exploratory mission like we saw with the Hospital. And we're finally going to get some answers about the start of the outbreak.
2) Tanya's got herself a little Frankenstein laboratory in the morgue now. I understand what she's trying to do and I know it's important and all, but she's still starting to creep me out a bit. Tanya needs to be careful, obsessing too much over studying the zombies could end up creating an unhealthy mentality. For some reason that whole scene in the morgue made me think of the crazy doctor from Day of the Dead.
Which leads me to prediction #2 (of the crackpot, tinfoil hat variety):
They're going to capture Randy and try to train him a la Bub from Day of the Dead.
7odd is going to be doing his happy dance. Lots of chemicals begin with FO. Many get their name from the Latin Formica meaning Ant.
We also hear a bunch of crows when they first get to the location
And we go all the way back to season one on the roof of Locked and Loaded where Burt, a gun nut, says that is a level three ID from Raydon Labs. You got to be pretty damn smart to get one of those. Or something very similar.
but just so folks are informed....

Radon Labs. Is that the company that will test for Radon Gas or is a Biological Lab.. If Radon Gas Lab then Here goes.. Radon Gas leaked up from the ground from the crack near ground zero. Combined with some chems Ink made, instead of Gamma making the Green Hulk. Radon made the Zombies..
Ok back to the story. Awesome.. Tanya is too excited she is bound to have a screw up.. I wonder if she will have "an accident" and endanger Mouldon and Robbins.
I thought Puck was gonna punch Michael for leaving him.. One day we will find out Michael's obsession with Randy.
New Guy.. How do you get stuck in the Flower Bed?? Damn dude..
Now the wait till next Monday.. DAMN IT!!!!!
Next question will be are those 2 chemicals what Ink?TOWTM uses to make his little ones?
Ok, back on track.
1) I feel bad for that lady. This morning you are eating breakfast and next you being operation by Tanya while you are still alive. Can anyone explain what Tanya was doing? I was lost in that conversation.
2) The teams seem to be extremely organized. Really, cameras and tracking? CJ is also manning communications?
3) Puck owned this eps.
4) What killed the big one? Oddly this is the first we seen one by itself.
5) So the zombies have setup an postal service system already?
Hi.
The main question is:
Why did Randy run around with a bag with two bottles of FO-shit from Radon Labs ... ? Why? What was the purpose of this? Did he collect shit in order to bring it somewhere? Was he on a "mission"? Did he - as some of us theorize - act based on his own agenda?
Best wishes!
Liam
this makes total sense really, randy wouldn't be one of the "upper echelon" within the horde. sending him out on the scouting missions, supply runs, etc would be the smartest thing they could do. hes smart enough to
control his group
find whatever they need
outwit Michael and co into a trap if contact is made
the bit im beginning to wonder about is..was randy aware of the cameras, and if so...how?
also, on the bit puck says about them eating their own dead...or at least maintaining their food supply

Yup, how may people would pay any mind to a zombie carry anything or even to one zombie walking around?
Also, what if Randy and ADLO are living people change to a zombie, but they never really die? That why they could maintain their intelligences.
Also noticed during the whole morgue conversation, the word "alive" was drop quite a bit.
I half way thought the bottles were going to say "formula" as he was shopping for a baby zombie. The last time we saw a dead behemoth was at the introduction to the Little Ones.
Maybe. Just maybe. What if the behemoths are 'pregnant' with Little Ones?
Also,
Fewer zombies, no bodies? Where are they?
Zombies using tools? Randy carrying stuff in a bag.
If Radon Labs or Raydon Labs works with the subterranean gas then that might support the geological or subterranean source for the outbreak. I'm siding with 7oddisdead on this one. So many new bits of info that I don't even know where to begin to speculate.
This episode fascinated the shit out of me. So much so that I just had to make my first contribution to the discussion. It's all about the mystery bag.
While Michael and Puck are investigating the bottles found in Randy's bag, one of them reads the letters "FO", and comments on a metallic smell and that the contents of the broken bottle are "all over everything". There's no mention of vapour or fumes so it's unlikely that it contained a strong acid, in my opinion. Earlier in the episode, during the mortuary scene, Robbins comments on the jars of specimens lining the walls. I think this might be a hint towards what's in one of the bottles; formaldehyde.
Formaldehyde is known to have a pungent smell and is extremely common. It is most notably used in the preservation of organic matter, such as the jars in Tanya's lab. It's also used in literally thousands of industrial processes, a large proportion of which involve biological significance. It's nasty stuff if you come into contact with it. I should state at this point that I'm not a chemist, or biologist, but I do have some knowledge of industrial chemical supply chains.
Raydon Labs has been a moot point since the first season and I'd like to speculate that they are a supplier, not an evil research organisation. The bottles have been said to have the Raydon Labs logo on them, and they were in transit at the time of the attack on Michael, Puck and Newbie. If I'm right about the contents being formaldehyde then it's unlikely that a high security biological laboratory would be formulating their own. It's cheap and readily available. I think this shows that someone requires supplies to continue their research, and where better to get them than your usual supplier?
So who's doing what with a chemical known to have serious negative effects on living tissue, and preservative effects on dead tissue? A fucking zombie mastermind, that's who! Who knows what Ink can do when he's not being a total dickhead? Is he smart enough to cure himself?
I won't speculate any further, but I'm looking forward to the next episode massively.
Tanya's examination was the creepiest. She's gone completely Mad Doctor on us. Especially when she says that she really had no intention of saving the bitten lady. I doubted that she had any V&C antibiotics handy. But at the same time, there was nothing that could be done to help the lady and the research needed to be done. IS/OUGHT
Anyone have a clue as to what those numbers were that she was calling out as she was collecting blood samples? Just like Undeadsweeper said, she's getting too excited for her own safety. I thought she cut herself at one point. Now I wonder how much she may have been at fault when she was bitten by the slow turner, or even if she used herself as an experiment test subject. If the Colony wouldn't let people IN with scratches, why would they let someone STAY who was BITTEN?
first off..EXTREMELY GOOD FIRST POST. EVERYONE WHO READS THIS. REP ^^^this guy! make him feel welcome.
second. cure? or strengthen?
Michael did mention a strong metallic odor. one of primary reasons I thought formic acid instead of formaldehyde is its use in tanning leather. much like the leather/leathery skin of the little ones/behemoths. could they zom not be tanning their own hides?
