Chapter 20 Part 1 Discussion

[j0be]

Though what i find wierd is how Tatu seemed oblivious to the fact that Lizzy was gone when he went to greet Michael and the others in chapter 19 part 3.

Tatu is a band, but yeah it seemed odd how blase EVERYONE was about Lizzy being kicked out at the end of 19-3 (including Datu)

Funny how they said Scratch will know what to do and not Dauri....

Interesting, very interesting. I couldn't have predicted that it was through Lizzie's disappearance that we'd finally get a follow up with the Mallers. I would be interested to see if Scratch has changed somewhat since we last heard from her, and if she will take the act of good will by Pegs (Through Angel), into account.

Steven may be the mole, but somehow I'm not sure. I'm not certain if he was merely a plot device to cause a transistion of leadership between Burt and Michael, or if he has any further involvement down the line. He almost had too many lines in this episode to be a minor character...

However, this does help prevent accidental spoilering via the "Recent Forum Posts" on the Home page.

Oh! We should remove this post from going in there. Nik, can you exclude it?

Listening to the dialogue going on in this chapter got me thinking about the Colony structure. Going back to Chapter 19, Gatekeeper was their pre-Tommy-death Kelly. As suspected before, Marcus' words start to make more sense, at least from his position. Seeing as how they have "contracts" for all persons present, I'm sensing that's a result of getting too many, too fast. Considering he was using a lie to stay in power, things got more difficult with more people making it harder to show leniency in cases like Lizzy's when you have someone constantly challenging the rules. I think Marcus was doing what he had to do to keep the Colony moving but he knew loyalties were strained. The more people you have the more problems occur. He wanted someone with experience and who was a natural leader like Michael to take some of the burden and keep people happy and maintain balance.

Wow great episode. I totally thought "Tardust" was Gatekeeper and there was a joint Mallers + Colony thing going on. Excited to see how this chapter plays out.

Great episode! Opens up a lot of new questions too... Now we'll get to see the creepy inner workings of strip mall "land"!

I love Pegs, but I'm hoping Scratch will say "Lizzy for Pegs."

I'll poke around and see what I can do about that.

I thought that too. But I still want to believe Durai is still alive. And until I'm told otherwise, I have to believe he is. Much like there's still the possibility that Marcus alive...just in reverse.

That would be an amazing chapter ending cliff hanger.
