Could be because of the Christmas Season.

Actually, I'm kinda glad that we finally might lose some more key characters. Angel's death didn't touch me at all, simply because he didn't even speak. He could as well just have been dead since the end of chapter 24. With Datu, we hear his pain as he cries out, we hear how the others help and talk to him, hell, we even hear the man digging his own grave.
I will say though, that he probably became one of my favorite characters, I mean, how many people would be able to go through all the things Datu's been, the arena, Boulder, then Irwin, now this... And then even be strong enough to make their own last resting place? That's just wow.
Was going to say "long live", but doesn't seem that likely, so... Hail king Datu, the resourceful!

I thought that's what that one was....hes so cute!


but seriously

I'm quite sure at least a few of us heard it say something like "kill" or "get up" at 16:50. Maybe I was just imagining that part, but I remember that taking up a few of those 55 pages written about 40.3.

Oh yea, i remember now, it DID say something.....think it was get up, although not sure who towards...

I'm only just getting myself to a point where I think I can relisten to this podcast.

Man, I try not to be that emotional these days but my goodness I was verging on tears when listening to this episode. Just goes to show how beautifully in-depth these characters have been drawn for us- well done, Kc. I'm always the one screeching " WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU, JUST KILL THEM NOW!" when I'm watching zombie films in which a loved one has been bitten and is about to turn. But I had none of that frustration with this episode: I could entirely understand Michael being torn in two by what to do.

King Datu the Resourceful's development from the comedic figure to that of a brave, tragic hero with the weight of the world on his shoulders is pretty spectacular.

I've been through the whole "Oh I'm sure he is immune" stage. I'm settling on: expect that the worst will happen and come to terms with it- then if it doesn't, that's a bonus.

i thought Tanya was being very risky/unselfish about revealing the K18 level thing. She made the point that not everyone that's bit turns, but the "test" is still on the table.

in my mind i could see CJ's internal wheels starting to spin about testing everyone that's suspect.

and yes, Datu's... everything is amazing.
1.) He was working a job in the US to send money back home to support his family
2.) He was taking night classes for a better job
3.) His work-ethic is above and beyond most
4.) His resiliance (sp?) is outstanding
5.) His emotional states are justified
6.) He's a man of Faith (in my book, that's a plus for an added dynamic, when these days it's "hip" to be an atheist)
7.) He continually shows how selfless he is
8.) His skill at repairing may not be the best, but his determination sees the projects through

Darn it, KC! He's such a good character!
that's not a request to save him; i'm glad he's getting a proper fairwell.

I'm beginning to wonder if "get up" or "kill" was said by Jay as he was turning?
