Season 4 Artwork Speculations

[Malador]

The strings in the picture appear to be frayed, or possibly severed. This leads me to believe that Michael and company may reason out that the infected would be much less of a threat without Ink at the helm, and are going to seek him out in particular as their target. I would love it if they shoved KODI out of the chopper over the arena and blew the whole thing to hell.

Now that you mention it... Very good observation!

The arena has already been blown to hell. There's another building that may not survive the season...

Yeah, the Arena is pretty much down - at least heavily enough damaged that them zombos quite likely abandoned the place (according to Tardust they did not have enough tanker-rigs to blow the place to hell; and yet they did blow huge parts of it back into the abyss).
And with the other building you mean the spot marked with the huge red cross, I assume? But keep in mind: According to Dr. Jones never an X marks the spot ...

Best wishes!

Well, an X marked the spot in Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade,
my little Miss Elsa Schneider.

Pure speculation!

Well, given that the production and anticipation for the premier of Season Four is significantly ramping up now, there is no better time like the present to make my sheepish, yet triumphant return to the forums. My apologies for my absence, I was distracted by an increased focus on job hunting, then the job itself...

• Puppet master theme.
• Mannequins representing Inklings? Humans? Zombies? EVERYBODY?

The first of the two things that jumped out at me is, as Malador pointed out, that the marionette strings are broken... this seems to imply to me that TOWTM is losing or is about to lose control of his legion and/or his manipulation of events and the remaining Humans is at an end.
If the puppets are meant to represent his zombie horde and/or the Inklings, to me it looks like that with their strings cut, they are falling and become useless and ineffectual. Without the Master and his control, the puppets become directionless.

• X-rays of TOWTM's arms.

... and that creepy blue glow. A glow that first struck me as Cherenkov Radiation. Cherenkov Radiation is most commonly seen in nuclear reactors... This seems to portend a few possibilities:

• The X-Raying of TOWTM's hands & arms seems that it may be a nod to the hospital that seems to have become his new base of operations... he may even be using an X-Ray machine in his nefarious experiments.
• Cherenkov Radiation, nuclear blast, ect... centered around TOWTM, suggestion HE is Ground Zero.
• Expansion in search of supplies and equipment leads to Camp Pendleton or an attempt to connect the Colony to electrical power brings them to the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station. Make what you will of that... showdown over an open and exposed reactor? (This idea seems a little silly though.)
• As part of the offensive, Michael takes a page out of Kimmet's book and goes back to PANTEX himself.

  I would love it if they shoved KODI out of the chopper over the arena and blew the whole thing to hell.

  The amount of C-4 that KODI can carry is insufficient to do any significant damage. Now, the EOD Robot Wiki page suggest that KODI is a Talon model. However, given the conversations about KODI (and the noise it makes... in 33/1 it reminds Michael of Johnny-5), I think that it is a larger model that aught to be big enough to carry the physics package of a B-83. This gives Burt another movie quote opportunity... "I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure." Strap KODI with a B-83, remote pilot it to the hospital, squawking and "sweating" the entire way... and boom, LA gets a lot safer.

Hi there,

That made me think: What if this hints towards Radon Labs?

Welcome back Red Shirt! You certainly know how to make an entrance. In a horror movie you'll be the guy who everyone thought was dead but returns out of a closet or a ditch to bash some heads in and gives the survivors a fighting chance.

The first of the two things that jumped out at me is, as Malador pointed out, that the marionette strings are broken... this seems to imply to me that TOWTM is losing or is about to lose control of his legion and/or his manipulation of events and the remaining Humans is at an end.

Makes me wonder about the 12 Disciples-Last Supper analogy between the TOWTM & the Inklings. If I were a speculating man, I'd wonder if one would become a disobedient Judas.

Brilliant. Just brilliant.
