Chapter 40-3 Monsters

[Monster mani]

Gee Thanks KC...

Just listened to it again. How's this sound...

z1 attacks Glenn.
Jay kills z1 .
z2 (possibly glenn) attacks Jay.
Datu kills z2 .
z3 knocks gun out of Datu's hand.
z3 is killed by Randy.
Randy tells Datu "Get Up".
Randy drags Datu to the truck or a nearby radio.
Datu calls for help.

If not Randy then somesort of Hero Z...that is a theory that the more I listen to the more I am leaning towards.

I lime your theory. But only if Randy gets to wear a cape.

Especially when the mission involves water pumps.

As a matter of fact, running water has been a bad omen for these guys throughout the story.

1. Randy at the pumping station.
2. Micheal, Datu, Riley and Angel at the pumping station.
3. Sean working on a running water project for the Colony.
4. Datu, Glen and Jay at the water mill.

Grog, I'm surprised that you haven't picked up on this yet.

Woop. Brownie points for my crack pot theory.

Let's get back to the arena. We don't know what happened between Samantha's disappearance and later the rescue of Datu. There was a time-gap. What, if Datu was wounded by them zeehs, and what if is kind of a no-turner or slow-turner like what some of us assume about Tanya and Saul ... In that case the attacking zomb might have recognized him as brethren and not prey ...
ends ...

Best wishes!

What if that was true about all of the people the zombies try and drag back? Remember when Michael saw Randy outside the tower, he was trying to drag away Tanya. Similar to how Datu was dragged away. Michael says that the zombies moved different, like they were one. What if they weren't roaming for food, what if they could smell a 'non-turner' and were on a mission to retrieve her?

Perhaps whatever Tanya and Saul have that is making them either slow-turners/no-turners isn't even unique to them and Datu? What if Samantha, Kalani and pills boy in the Arena all had it too? Well are all dead now so we won't know for sure, but we still could find out something from Datu.

Just about every action in the last scene is strategically placed and timed; it might be confusing now, but it won't be later.

I expected nothing less ... And this episode along with the whole chapter really are kind of a brain-smasher ... Lots to chew on ...

Great point. I forgot about Sean. The problem with M, A, D and R were not under CJ at the time

I like this hard right now. Would also give us a "semi-plausible" explanation as to what happened to Mikey at the waterworks'....but damn, Randy is covering some territory.

its funny how unless your really listening for it, the get up doesn't jump out at ya....but then, it does. Also we have heard the inklings speak, we have heard ink speak, we don't know if we have heard Randy(possibly lizzies tape?)but that definitely does not sound like an inkling to me.

Chapter 40 will go down in WA history as being one of the most intricate - it produced many answers and even more questions, and has had some of the most nailbiting scenes of the entire show. As much as I'm looking forward to the next chapter, I believe this is only the beginning of a very long cliffhanger that's going to last beyond New Year.

Also remembered that when Kalani and team were at Cain hospital to check out the chopper and the massive herd of zombies show up outside Burt mentions that they were dragging some unturned still living people who were moving around. Could be that there are lots of people who "can't turn".

I do hear a standard handgun and the Matagun.

We should not underestimate how strong Datu is. He might have been wounded, but I bet he could kill a biter with a wrench or whatever is handy. He even killed a biter 2.0 in Denver. He cut it so deeply, it bled out. These are the same ones that shake off small arms fire at close range and ripped open the tanks with their bare hands.

There's a bit near the end when Datu is getting attacked, he cries out and there is a distinct sound like spewing blood. If it were Datu's, he would have died almost instantaneously - perhaps he did slice up another one.
