First! (I couldn't help myself)

lol, I thought about doing that myself. Staying up watching the news so it's way past my bedtime.

Back to the topic in hand, I can't wait to download this and listen to it.

Can't wait.

Judging by this chapter's cover art, I wouldn't be surprised to find Osama in the Arena.

I can't wait!

A full frontal assault on the arena?!?! Pippen has to be a mole. Even Datu said it's amazing he made it as far as he did smelling like that.

And why did Durai head south? Maybe he took a crew to try and invade the colony.

Awesome episode! I've gotta say though, the first ad this episode was... interesting haha.

This episode proves a few things:
-The mallers knew about the arena... but how?
-Durai is still alive. Scratch says she has to report back. Is he near though? They already left the strip mall.
-Pippen is still sketchy, while he had a viable story, his wounds were fresh.
-Riley thought of Lizzy as a bit "more" than a friend.
-The mallers aren't as knowledgable as some may think. They don't know how the tower called the zombies.

Anyway, so with the arena now done. Where's Paul/Ink/smart zombie going to go? He was out of there beforehand, is he going to look for another place to gather?

This was almost a suicide run for the mallers. Where were they headed after? I imagine if Pippen is a plant, they were using him as a source to figure out when they can have the tower. The mallers are desperate at this point.

Nice to have confirmation that Durai is still alive. The group going south for supplies - maybe they'll run into the colony?

KC also made it clear that the mallers don't know about smell attracting zombies. Couple that with the comment from Datu about Pippen and I hope the tower will realize he's a mole very quickly.

Who else is surprised that they actually went to blow up the arena? I wonder what intel Durai & Co. had that made them do it. The tower only found out about it because of the trackers. Maybe the mole offered that information to the mallers?

Also - the arm of the zombie was significant! The number 5 and the arm that "doesn't look like it was ever human" helps provide support to theories of genetic testing. This is probably the best part of the episode for me.
