Loopholes & Inconsistencies

[Kc]

Whoo-hoo! Is the remastered version going to be another boxed set? I want to buy it when it's available!

Yup. The first season will be the same, unless we fix those two things and there was a minor glitch in Chapter 4.

another box set for season 1 ?

The new publisher is re-printing season 1. So there will be another Box set as the current version is going out of print.

Is the artwork being redone, or is it just a repress from a different publisher?

Oh man First Edition Box set? I placing my order now.

Minor one

In Separate Dying Embers Part 2 ~ 9:30. Datu is sent upstairs to get the "Gas" tanks. He says they are empty and is told to siphon some from the Generator.

They may be Gas Tanks, but I would have them labeled DIESEL and reprimand anyone who called them “gas tanks” to reinforce that there are two different fuels and using one for the other is BAD.

It is most likely a Diesel Generator. Saul calls it as such and to preserve diesel supplies they take the hybrid instead of the Humvee and they got a tanker full of Diesel in Lady and the Tink.

If the generator is filled with Diesel, one cannot siphon gas from it. One would get Diesel and Diesel does not really “explode” like gasoline. If he got Diesel instead of gas, it would not explode when it was hit by bullets, but it would most likely set the ground on fire for a while rather than explode when hit by the flare.

BUT, most importantly there are ZOMBIES running around. So, I am more than willing to extend my disbelief and go a bit on faith. 8)

Possible work arounds…
(Paraphrased)

Michael: you know the “gas” tanks by the generator

Datu say, They are empty

Michael Siphon some gas from the generator

Datu Its DIESEL

Michael: JUST DO IT.

Datu, Fine but it is not going to work anyway…


IN part 3 When I listened to it the first time, I thought explosion. The second time it was more ambiguous. When they throw the flares ensure the sound affect is much more like flames than explosion. Then, have a character point to the visual

“Look at that wall of fire! It will be a while before anymore can get into the lobby.”

I'm not exactly sure what your argument for an inconsistency is. Are you saying its because Michael called the canisters used to transport the diesel fuel "Gas cans?" That's just kinda semantics. You would transport diesel in gas cans. You get diesel fuel from a gas station. I understand the difference but is it that much of a difference that if I said to someone "Siphon off gas from that engine" they would need to say "Its diesel, not gas." ? Besides, at the moment, the only fuel source they have access to is the diesel from the tanker they stole from the mallers. They haven't been transporting any other variety in the series.

The sound we hear when the flares are thrown at the gas cans is consistent with the "WHOMPH" sound you would expect to hear in comparison to the pipe bomb explosions/Tanker bomb explosions we've heard else where in the series. (Time hack: 13-3, ~8:15)

yea, you are right. It is more than semantics and not worth mentioning. Delete my two posts, it would keep the thread cleaner. One of these days, I am going to have to try vodka and diesel molotavs. I do not think they will work. Alcohol does not burn very hot and does not give off a lot of heat and a lot of that heat is going to be consumed in the separation of the alcohol form the water. Diesel does not vaporize well and really limits its burn rate to a two dimensional surface area

Don't delete them, I liked them. There are some good points made there.

It'll be a little different. Different style.
