Chapter 37-3: Balance of Power

[thisonegirl]

I know I am out there on a island, but do you think after getting Saul back Michael is just going to let him go? Yea, CJ spoke to Michael and gets the better of him. But, he just got the one-two emotional knockout of Angel right after the standing eight count of Pegs.

Guess I'm on that island with you. I don't Saul and Michael are just going to separate again. Both of them constantly tried to find out if the other was alive while they were separated.

Michael is an introvert. He needs time alone to recharge and process. He has not had that yet. If there is one thing I have noticed is that the time alone he requires to rally to do the right thing and LEAD is less and less as he matures.

That's true, I've noticed that, too, and I like it. It's really good character development.

I just do not want KC to go all Gothic and let evil triumph. Sure, it is a great story, but it is not the one I want.

I don't see that happening. I could be wrong and it might, but I just don't see it. There's still too many questions that are unanswered, and I think one of them is just what is Ink and what is his demise? Because I just don't think he'll survive.

I still like CJ, crutches and all. It kind of sucks that she's kicking out Victor and Saul, but it does make for an interesting storyline. Don't get me wrong I think she's being a first class grade A b'otch, but she's a woman of resources and is learning from her mistakes at Dunbar. Everyone, well almost everyone voted for her to be in charge anyhow. It doesn't really matter who is in charge anyhow because I see Michael pulling a team together, his military croonies and taking down the zeeh's at the arena. Now Riley is hell bent on revenge and might possibly get Pegs to go on a little ride along. Burt will eat that up, because I don't see him taking what Scratch did to him laying down. This episode seriously was the best, not my favorite but the best.

And on that note, how about a little night call

talk about a roller coaster ride!

great opening chapter for the final season.

personally, i can see Saul possibly leaving out of guilt... without Lizzy, even. maybe just for now, though. Victor might not go so quietly, but i believe he might be permanently attached to Saul indefinitely.

Saul is by far my favorite character. he is ALWAYS looking out for the well-being of others, and even in all of his macho talk, he really does have a great heart.

so with that said, i think Saul's decision might be the most predictable:
he's going to find a way to appease CJ and still protect Lizzy/child, if/when he goes to Dunbar. He'll have others look after his girl and child. i can clearly see some parallels with when Lizzy was kicked out of the Tower: some people will know, others will find out a bit too late.

blah, blah... i can't wait for the next chapter.

There are only a couple of things I feel confident will come to pass. Saul, Victor, Burt and Riley will go to Dunbar. On what terms I don't know. The reasoning I feel that way is 2 parts, I don't see Burt and Riley seperating, and Saul thinks Burt can fix the 50 cal at Dunbar (37-1)

either that, or there will be an "alliance" between the two holdouts.
CJ just said she never wanted to see them (Saul & Victor) again (paraphasing) but she won't be able to enforce complete incommunicado for the ones that stay at the Colony.

Im going to throw this out there, I had a theory I put on the WND forum.

We know Scratch stole the SWAT van and Im sure there were some maps in there. It could be possible that Scratch and Co. are in Dunbar right now. That would be an interesting twist!

[pmchawk]

All because someone says something doesn't mean they mean it. Lets say Saul is mortally injuried would CJ feel no guilt about it would she turn him away from treatment? I think she would feel guilt and wouldn't turn him away. She actually says bye to him but not to victor. She still cares about him.

Love this episode ! Quit building walls and repairing fences. Go out there and kick some ass ! What I have been waiting for! Happy Happy Happy !

I think CJ is the type that when she makes a decision it is not based on emotion but what she thinks is best. Yes it may be an emotional response to kick Saul out but how she handles it is with a lack of emotion is what I mean. She's made a decision, although maybe not entirely thought out and partially based on her anger, her follow through is with certainty. Once she's made her mind up, unless she can be properly reasoned with and persuaded to change her mind and if it results in directly affecting her she will change her mind but she does not respond to an emotional arguement. This is how she leads, and I think in part why I think she is an officer, reserve or reg's.

Scratch escaped from the colony before the SWAT van was taken. And on top of the the van was destroyed by the biters outside right before the attack happened.
