Chapter 41-1 Eye of the Storm

[tonyhind86]

I remember the water works episode - the growl they all heard definetly sounded like a behemoth. And now with the artwork suggesting it too, its very likely that the question of Michael's arm will finally be answered.

Technically, yes. But, I consider it more a mercy kill. Yes, Scratch killed him because he wouldn't tell her where Pegs and the others went, but she also knew he was going to die. I don't know, maybe she would of killed him either if he wasn't on death's door....

Scratch is a Murderer!!!! Just like CJ when she sent Glenn, Jay and Datu out on this suicide mission!!!!

I was saying earlier if it could be something with skin pigment or color. It seems that that Saul, Tanya and Datu all have that in common. Could it be Melanin? Do melanin and Keratin 18 have any connection?

This what I find far fetched. It seems to be too much of a coincidence for two members of the main group to be immune. Now Datu is a super slow turner? Out of all the specimens Tanya has encountered she has come across just one and the best connection we can come up with is skin color? I figure there would be a lot more cases that would make this apparent.

Ok.............

So I was sitting here at work........ thinking about zombies....... and thinking about how we all know that Datu is going to be perfectly fine......


Then it hit me........

I know others have said that there may be some kind of connection between Saul and Tanya's skin tone and not being infected......

Datu also has a darker skin tone....... but............... this is the part that just hit me........

Ink Tattooed himself....... thus creating a "fake" darker skin tone and/or adding pigment to his skin tone........

We also see what appears to be an Albino Behemoth in the Artwork, which is a complete lack of pigment......

Could this have something to do with not completely turning??? or slow turning???

Datu said he was bitten by a regular, so unless he is lying (which is unlike Datu) then there was a regular one there. If it was #9 that bit Jay then wouldn't Jay become a little one? is that how it works?

Jay either ignored Datu because he could recognize that was already turning, or Jay could still see Datu as a friend; I'm leaning towards the latter.

Kc is dancing around if zombies can tell who has been bitten/infected (Randy taking Tanya but not biting her, Jay ignoring Datu) so I think there is something important to it.

Edit: I just listened to the end of Chapter 12 when, Tommy turns. He full on attacks Saul, and only runs to the stairwell to escape, not because he recognizes "friends". I say Jay could tell Datu was infected.

Is WA addicting or what!

Uh, no! I can stop anytime I want.

Who am i kidding? My therapist listens to the show now.

[FunkyDung]

No, no.... KC = Michael.

For his wife's sake, I hope he's not remotely the emotional cripple Michael is.

[Witch_Doctor]

This might be sound tinfoily - but why did Jay not attack Datu? Did Jay identify Datu as a zombie? Does that mean that Datu might serve as some sort of zombified stealth individual? This would open the way for Datu to go where nobody who has not been bitten yet can go, would it not?

I think that only with walkers. Since we know Randy grab Tanya and # 7 also want to do the same thing. In a matter of fact, Tanya stay off the battlefield......

Also #8 went after Saul. But maybe once the remaining 4 Inklings are gone, the Final Five three of them can infiltrate the Cylon home world Ink's secret lair.

But the obvious question would be, what about all the other darker complexioned Los Angelinos? Millions of Latinos, Blacks, and Asian running around unchanged would be noticed. What about blood type? Grog & 7odd have brought this angle up.

I haven't had a chance to read everything on this thread but a couple things that stick out to me.

I'll start with Tanya. She cut her hair. You can do long term testing by testing your hair.

Datu "feeling" himself changing.. He also thought he was dying from shock after The waterworks incident. Can't put stock in it.

CJ knowing everything about everyone. I think she did this just in case Saul and Victor tried to say she didn't care about coming to save them from the mallers. However, getting to know people would have changed her.

Had a couple more thoughts but g2g
