Chapter 31 Family Ties Part 2

[VEE]

My mistake. I should have clarified. I wasn't asking for which you would consider evidence that Burt believes the gun actually is his wife. I was curious what you would consider evidence that he has a "psychological problem".

My original reply was to this: Maybe he believes or somewhat believes that shirley(the desert eagle) is in fact shirley(his deceased wife)

So I don't have a reply for you.

But if they knew, Scratch wouldn't hold all the cards. If they keep them separate she's got more options open.

I'd think that even if they did know about each other they still wouldn't be able to speak to each other.

There is no evidence of that. So no, I don't consider it. I understand a deep emotional attachment to an inanimate object, I just think it was overplayed, and agree with an earlier post, that being shot with his own gun would have been a 'better' idea.

I disagree as a .50 caliber weapon ( shirley the desert eagle) makes a huge hole in a person and that would have been an automatic kill on Burt as you dont recover with your leg blown off in a situation such as this.I'll opt for what you call "overplayed" in the scene and call it a day.

You guys know more about guns than I do so I will bow to your greater knowledge.

This is a representation of Shirley and her bullets



This is a representation of what .50 cal ammo can do to the engine of a truck. The holes are rather BIG.



This is a representation of Burt's knee


its a delicate piece of engineering and very hard to replace even in the best of times in the world. As an Orthopedic nurse. I'll tell you the replacements of knees are never as good as the original.

So as a public service announcement I'm saying .... "Lets not shoot Burt in any portion of his body... I like Burt."

... Scratch however...

Why isn't Burt wearing any trousers? What are you doing to him?

[reaper239]

I'm in agreement with werewolf. He's done that quite a bit this season... However, I don't know what plotline there is left to cover at Fort Irwin. So maybe we'll just keep going with Saul, Victor, and CJ as they sneak into The Colony. Hopefully they'll rescue both Lizzy and Burt.

we've missed 6 months of goings on at irwin, there could be any number of developments at the base. plus the recon team that was sent into the city, we still don't know anything about what they were doing or why.

That and the possibility that the recon team actually did see Saul and Victor as they took off. They may have decided it was too hot to risk touching down again. Maybe?

I'm thinking that the only way Burt will be help is through Bricks. He the only one that know both Liz and Burt are there. So that how Bricks will turn on to the Mallory. I see this happening, Saul is going to lose focus and go find Liz on his own and find Bricks, since he hold all the keys and probably be on guard duty. The worse situation is that he in the room with Liz and Saul take in the wrong way.
