Chapter 40-3 Monsters

[LiamKerrington]

.....


My question/thought is........ When we meet skittles/duncan again are we going to meet a full recovered person??? Has enough time passed for him to return to the original Duncan??? Who was the original Duncan? What did he do? etc, etc, etc......

I don't know why but I have a feeling that we are done with skittles character. He has served his purpose and run his course in the story. I don't think his back story will be relevant enough to bring up, especially thins late in the show. Only so many chapters to wrap everything up.... There are more important things to resolve and questions to answer. Maybe they find his body somewhere and give him a proper burial or something at most.

I would love to see him again, 'cause he fits into the whole picture of WA. And I am not so certain that he already served his purpose. Regardless I tend to concurr with Unit9014. Just trying to imagine how Skittles might get invlved again, I am pretty close to only "one" to "four" possible plots:
I) Either he would give shelter to other survivors or help them with intel - and that would be just the mere repitition of what we already heard in the Angel/ Kalani encounter.
II) The next option would be to find a survivor who really deserves the title "survivor"; but has he the potential to become such a guy, and how would this serve the story? Maybe Skittles as kind of a "Ronin" or Lonesome-Ranger dude aiding the others in what ever way. Again: would WA need this? Not really, I guess ...
III) The third plot would be to find him as being a "Smart One" ... And that would - actually - give some interesting twists or irritations into the story - especially, if Skittles remembers faces from back in time like Riley or uniforms from the soldiers or Hope or CJ? That would be - actually - quite interesting to see.
IV) He is mentally ill and somehow gets to the Colony and finds shelter. As with I and II: What would be the purpose of this? Maybe that he opens the gates another time? On the other side: it could be quite a test for CJ to decide whether to let him in or not - and that maybe in the face of other Colonies and maybe even with zombs rushing in in order to take out Skittles. That would be a "nice" scene as well - not so nice for Skittles, but nice regarding character building of CJ's and others and catalyzing trouble within the Colony ...

Just a couple of thoughts after a long day at 1 am ... Sorry for heavy misspelling. I guess you are used to it ... Good night ...

Best wishes!

That would allow an interesting (and only slightly ) story device - at Dunbar Skittles let the smart one in; maybe at the colony he would be the smart one who gets let in? It would have a neat symmetry, and if there's going to be a massacre (which I have an uneasy feeling there might be) then that's as good a way as any to get it started....

If a character can elicit strong emotions from the audience, then something has probably been done very write by writer, cast, and crew.

This. Oh, so this.

Random, most probably inconsequential thought:

the Matagun was only tested on Behemoth skin. Perhaps the Little One that attacked the group has now evolved so much that the Matagun, despite functioning perfectly, made no difference to it and didn't puncture its skin at all.

*clings onto some hope that King Datu The Resourceful's last invention might still work, somehow*

I'm thinking that it was easy to penetrate the behemoth skin because 1) it wasn't moving, making it a lot easier to aim at and 2), depending how the skin was hung for the target, there is still muscle and bone behind the skin, and i don't think it was not specified whether the behemoth skin was just stretched, or put around something so it was more life-like

Or...................................

Image this......................................

Scratch has Riley cornered............ gun pointed directly at her......... she goes to pull the trigger.......... and we hear "NOOOOoooooOOooooOoo" as Skittles runs forward and tackles Scratch saving the day for everyone!!!!

I think Skittles is dead, I believe Kc said somewhere that in the end when we have the answers we wont have all of the answers, and I believe his example was if a character runs off and dies and no one is around, that character doesn't make a noise..
or did I just make all of that up?

You just made all that up.....

Actually I'm not sure if this was ever said or not...... but...... if a character runs off and dies and no one is around......... how do you know the character ran off and died???


By that logic if we assume Skittles ran off and died..... can we not also assume that Scratch ran off and died??? Tardust also??? Heck Burt and Riley for that matter????

I think for consistancy sake we must assume that all characters are still alive until we find a body or evidence that they are not........

I'm mean after all........ It's called We're Alive right?!?!?

This ^^^ We want to see skittles because he is such an interesting character just like we want Burt and Riley to overcome against Scratch and we want Datu and Glenn to be alive and we want so many other things... but this isn't a fairy tale right? We might get some of what we want, but I agree, I don't think we will see skittles again and if we do it will be only his dead body.
