Michael was good as a leader, but, I don't see him taking over again anytime soon and about Burt, well, Burt is Burt.
Angel's going to take control around the mid-season of Season 3. But, in the near future, I see Kalani gaining a following and possibly leaving the Tower, with Burt leaving on his own. As the Tower breaks down (Again), Saul will probably take control with Michael and Angel as his support.
"Run..." Was his final word as he exhaled for the last time.
I vote Michael...but to be completely honest, none of the choices thrill me and there aren't any other leaders in the group. Michael, as we know, did well enough to keep them alive in the beginning. His tactics and methods worked well, but he cracked under intense pressure. I stress intense because he kept his cool for the most part, but finally he reached his wits end after the War.
Burt's method of leadership is hard to get a clear sense of because we don't hear his rationalizations. Unlike Burt we know (through narration) why Michael did what he did. Just think if we followed Kelly upstairs after the near eviction from the tower and Michael shot the zombie that came charging for her. We hear exactly why he decided to push her outside. We get no such luxury in Burt's case. There's no in depth analysis indicating why Burt does what he does. I feel if we heard from his point of view more often, we might be more agreeable to his leadership.
As for Angel.....he can't even keep Kalani in order. If one chunky Hawaiian can't follow your orders what hope is there? Joking aside, Angel is growing, but he hasn't proven he can lead the Tower yet.
I voted for Michael, when Michael was leader he was taking it in the right direction, planning everything out but in the end it just didn't work out. Angel still isn't experienced enough to be put in charge of a large group yet, maybe a smaller one like in recon missions but he shouldn't be in charge of the tower. And Burt... well Burt is starting to act a little bit like a dictator, I mean hes not running it like a dictatorship but there are a few things that he should ease up on.
No option for "none of the above"? Right now I don't have a lot of faith in any of the top 3 contestants.
I find your misuse and misunderstanding of the term "emo" slightly insulting. Emo is nothing more than a music genre that sparked a sub-culture to follow it. Emo doesn't even stand for "emotional", it stands for "emotive hardcore" a genre of music started in the mid 1980s and popularized in the early 2000s.
The notion that all emo people cut themselves, are depressed, and want to commit suicide is a misconception created by the media. Just like the misconception that people who listen to metal worship the devil and want to kill people.
Oh no! Sorry I didn't mean to cause offense. I have changed my post. I think I only used the phrase because I heard Michael described as such on the We're Not Dead podcast just now. I really don't think that people who identify themselves as Emo are depressed people, and I know what it stands for. I like that music myself. I said that he was Emo in a teasing way at the steriotype but I get that you might have found it ignorant. Sorry about that.
Personally I can't stand it when people say that something is "gay" when they mean something negative, so I understand.
I don't keep it loaded, son. You'll have to find ammo as you go.
