Good episode. Why do they all seem so shorth though? I think it is awesome that Micheal grew a set of balls on this one. Eventually you have to start analyzing what you are up against if you expect to defeat it. I was kind of hoping they would find Kimmets neice tied down and changed though.. oh well. Awesome on the use of a Blackhawk with a mini-gun, that made me smile.

#2 is cold resistant and semi-bullet resistant, thats an interesting twist.

Now to listen again!

Looks like kudos are in order for Comrade Narf. I just listened to WND #44, where he predicted that the Season Finale would involve a threat to Boulder. Now we know how that could happen!

Oh dear. Michael might be getting into a heap of trouble here. His aggressive approach to research and intelligence is good, but Kimmet's conservative easy of doing things means Irwin I'd still around. It'll be interesting to see if Michael gets fitted for this, out if this is the start of the end for Boulder and Irwin. A behemoth in Boulder well be a bad thing.

That being said, immensely enjoyed the banter in the beginning! Awesome ep!

My mind goes crazy ... Will Kimmet and Cross end up like Durai and Scratch? Or more like the Treky Marcus and Michael?

[Penguine]

It is still the Army Liam.. I dont think there will be a killing in the future. If there is I think the story will go bad from there. NCO's sometimes disobey the orders of officers if they think the order is stupid. Micheal wants to get that body to Tonya so she can disect it and give him some info. And what is it going to hurt if Tonya is locked up with it and under surveillance? Sure Kimmet is going to be pissed, for one he lost a family member, for two his order was disobeyed, but I think Michael will get a reprimand, maybe lose a stripe, but I doubt he will be fired since he is the only Intel person Kimmet has.

Nah. Its Michael taking the risk here. Irwin/Boulder are the last vestiges of civilization, while the Mallers are the representation of savagery and the slide of humanity backwards. Irwin can't devolve into a Kimmet/Cross knifefight, as Awesome as that would be! But Michael might not be an E-6 for very much longer.

You're absolutely right. Kimmet and Michael aren't going to end up fighting to the death. But Kimmet seems pretty erratic. Just something about the sound of his voice makes him seem like he's about to snap. Could it come down to Michael having force Kimmet to step down if he goes off the deep end? Just a thought...

Interesting. I would love it if Boulder were over run. That missing private that broke out of his restraints...I wonder where he is. 30 miles in the cold is a long way for an Advanced Little One to go. I'm wondering if it would even make it that far. They might be resilient against the cold, but I doubt they are impervious. And even then, they'd have to have some highly advanced sense of smell or something to know which direction to head. Still, I really hope Boulder gets over run and Kimmet cracks under the pressure, blaming himself leaving a spot open for Michael to assume command.

Let's see what Tanya learns from the corpse of #2. Since it is so low in tattoo number, it could be one of the very first variant zombies Pinstripes created.

I also need to work on the timeline. Knowing when these events take place in relation to the Saul/Maller timeline might help us predect when Michael will get in touch with the group in L.A. I imagine there will come a day when Michael's SAT phone goes ring ring and Victor, Lizzy, or Saul will be on the other line.
