Undo my dislike for the above post.. Damn smart phone and chunky fingers. Grrrr. I agree,that the,omission of this is now should be discussed as well. It is a significant part of the narration of the story. It has been one of the welcoming constants, and now even that has changed.

Amy infection: I tought we settled that: during the autopsy Tanya notes the little one has self-inflicted wounds. They "poison" their own nails with their blood and infect with the scratches. I agree that until now, with the one exception of the slow turner who bit Tanya, we had only fast turning. Which is what made the fall of Boulder so unconvincing to me, people turning after more than 24h in a car (plus other convenient accidents). Funny enough, Amy's own slow turning makes sense now in light of the fact that slow turners were in the convoy.
I think we should discuss the absence of the "this is now" line from Michael's initial speech (plus he seem to stammer on "didn't"). It is a significant difference that sets this season apart, KC does not do things like these randomly, he usually is very deliberate and takes great care to chisel even the smallest details.

I noticed the missing "This is now" from Michael last night on a 3rd listen. Not sure what to think of that at the moment but it is pretty obvious in it's absence. I used to always think that the line "That was then. This is now" meant that he started fearing death when Z-Day happened and he saw the Zeds. The missing "this is now" in this episode has me wondering when he did start fearing death - right after Z-day because he didn't want to become a Zed, after getting involve with Pegs because he had something to live for, or after the whole ordeal that WA covers because of something we don't know of yet?

Or, and I'm just spitballin' here, the Water Works?

I rarely know what's going on but this thread is making me question my reality....

On the thought that the first zombie said "We're Alive"

A lot of Forum members think they heard Little One #1 say "We're alive" before it started saying "die, die". Could this be an indication that some element of the zombies', or at least the Little Ones' humanity has survived?

I've noted this before, and you can call me a pessimist but i simply cannot back the idea of turned Zombies being able to be "cured". There is just too much that a human being cannot recover from that a Zombie has endured. Mal-Nutrition, Brain inactivity, missing limbs! Am I the only one who can not see a way this can be "cured"?

If it did say "we're alive" my guess would be that it was referring to the Banner on the first tower that said "We're Alive". Perhaps this one recognized Michael, Victor, Saul. I would wonder though how this one could have read the banner then but its supposed maker Pinstripe couldn't read numbers to open the front door then.

Oh it's real, all right. A little too real.....

What hasn't been mentioned yet are Michael's ominous words just after the hunting party: "But it didn't matter now; what we faced here couldn't compare with what we faced in Boulder and Ft. Irwin... or so we thought."

This seems to indicate some greater horror yet to be encountered, something even more terrifying than hundreds of Little Ones pouring over the walls, and seems to hint at the heart of this whole epidemic. What will our heroes find when they again visit The Devil's Workshop?

I'm beginning to think that Cabbagepatch is like CJ, with a stash of EVERYTHING imaginable so he can post pictures of them.

Any thoughts on what pegs is doing since everyone else is being useful but her? We find out what everyone(hunting little ones, watching Lizzy, and working at the hospital) is doing outside of Pegs, Scratch and Tardust.

Oh, and I wonder if cabbage patch can find a navy seal seal.
