Chapter 41-1 Eye of the Storm

Me too. Only stage one. He says he can feel himself changing, or he knows he's changing. Dang it Datu, I know you have a lot on your mind, but details!
Also, just where the heck was Jay going off to? Did he have some sort of zombie orientation appointment to go to?

Holy Smoke!!! On my iPod this looks like a puff of smoke. This is the clearest picture of an Abominable Behemoth, yet. Water pumping station anyone?

AT LAST! We will FINALLY get some answers about Michael's arm, and possibly Randy too...?

A long while ago, I had this theory about a close call with a biter and subsequent sleep. My speculation was these people received a little exposure, but did not change. If we go back to the germ theory of disease, the immune system may overcome a little exposure and be primed ready to attack the disease if it later gets a big dose.

My hope is something like his plays out here... I want Datu to be OK!

A quick example
Michael etal clear out the tower. Michael naps by the door and then rescues Lizzy. Then he sleeps for 24 hours. As Saul says, there was no waking you Sarge...

Similarly, Datu sleeps after the arena. Might be nothing, but we got two weeks and I would rather party with my than mope around...

So, the contagion gets a jump on Datu and pushes on his K18 levels, but then his immune system fights back and fights the disease to a standstill.

I don't think Michael has been exposed yet, unless some blood got swallowed during the clearance of the tower.....?

I like the idea of Michael knowing something of slow turning from his interaction with Randy. That could tie everything together, and present his arm story in a way that makes sense within what's happening now.

good stuff!

I don't see Datu surviving this. I think he may make it until the end of the chapter, but that's it.

Judging on the episode artwork, I'm going to guess how I think the story will progress: The well cannot be fixed (or Datu dies before is able to fix it/able to give enough information to the others for them to fix it), which leads to a new mission to the water works. We then get the present storyline spliced with Michael's memories from last time, culminating in Michael and whoever else goes running into the behemoth that was there last time, and possibly Randy.

I gotta wonder also (about the artwork)...

that behemoth look a little "pale" to anyone else??

I've always had a nagging suspicion that Micheal was exposed and it not letting anyone know the details of his injury. Just a suspicion, nothing else, really. If this is the case, then maybe this will bring the story to light. Maybe to save Datu from the death panel.

The Chapter Title, "Eye of the Storm" is a bit unsettling too. It implies a lull in the turmoil that is about to pick up again. I worry the the lull may be the final hours with Datu before he goes, or maybe a false sense of hope that everything is OK, then things fall too pieces.

It's good see that Datu is still a trooper and working diligently to save the Colony in the face of a certain death (Spock-in-the-Wrath-of-Khan Style). I was kind of expecting CJ to mention Datu's two children in the Philippines, who he hoped were still alive, and he was trying to stay alive long enough to return to.

Could be because of the Christmas Season.

That.......that could be possible..... makes a lot of sense, considering how Michael is reluctant to share what happened at the water works, and no one knows the connection between him and Randy..... But then again, He was about to tell Puck about the story before Pegs interrupted, and i'm not entirely sure how Puck would handle the news if Michael told him that he was possibly infected..
