A fertilizer bomb is called an Ammonium Nitrate-Fuel Oil bomb, or ANFO bomb for short.
To put it simple terms, the ammonium nitrate fertilizer is the engine of the explosive, and the diesel fuel is just the fuel to jump start the engine. It world still need a detonator and ignition device, but Burt has all that.
It just requires a small amount of diesel per pound of ammonium nitrate. The more ammonium nitrate you have, the more diesel you need. I will not post the exact ratio here. If anyone wants more info on that, break out your google-fu.
For the colonists, they could actually construct a ANFO bomb capable of bringing down the buildings using the diesel from what they would find from the fuel tanks of a Peterbuilt Simi truck. As for the pure AN, maybe the same place they found Mrs. Maggoo has a stock...
Pardon the wall of text. I’m trying to catch up with all of the posts I missed.
Can you clarify point 5 for me please? I’m not sure I understand what you’re getting at. On point 8, we might finally see a use for Riley being a “Pro Archer.” If she can bust out enough of those windows and get a few burning arrows through there, it might even the odds a bit.
There may have been 3,000 originally but don’t forget we have evidence that zombies are dying off due to starvation (unless I imagined that, it’s been a while). If we assume that the “normal” ones are susceptible to starvation and that the only food source may be other zombies given the contained nature of the facility, there’d be a whole lot less than 3,000 left to contend with. Plus, the enhanced Z’s of various shapes and sizes may be nomming down on the regulars in absence of other meal choices. Either way, it evens the odds!
… Apparently Liam beat me to this as I read through the rest of the posts I’ve missed but the point stands! Liam just gets original credit. :P
On the subject of the twin towers, it would be wonderful symmetry if the first two towers that were destroyed had human inhabitants only to have it evened out with the destruction of two zombie towers.
I agree 100% with this. Excellent job at describing it! 10/10
I always wondered if “We’re Alive” was really referring to the Zombies rather than the Humans. There’s a comment somewhere about that. My vote is “survival” refers to anyone involved but the actual title refers to the Zombies.
[QUOTE=Gnex;71746]Next Episode is going to start out with Kelly and Lizzy sitting at the Table talking about Baby stuff.........
Then all of a sudden.......... We hear a BOOM BOOM BOOM knock at the Door.........
Then we hear an all too familiar voice.......... "Heeeelllllllooooooooo................. Anybody Home?!?!"[/QUO TE] I agree with this Michael did say he didn't like them being alone and the cpomment about Dunbar looking like that place puck was at.gonna be a good cliff hanger
Yes. We have been known to include credits for people not included in a particular episode. If there's ever one area I screw up the most, it's the credits. We spend so much time on the episode that we get burnt by the chore that's credits.
Wasn't Lady just mentioned? She's fine. In a backyard running around in the colony. Eating dog food. Doing Dog things.
Off Vigness... (Sp?) It's the road near where they were.
I really hope I don't shoehorn those in at the end either! But really, that's not my style, or at least I hope it's not. I'll have to consult with the writing side of my brain. That guy does all kinds of crazy stuff.
Ok, a few of these I'll field. Don't get too excited. There's some things that have been explained about as much as they were intended to be. I'm gonna only pick things I feel need commenting. Looking at the outline of the rest of the story, I think you'll be fine with what comes.
"- the significance of water (notice how neither michael nor vic drank any from the well)" ---
Michael and Vic wouldn't have drank the water because it most likely looked like mud. And at that, unfiltered. Water around CA isn't that clean in its natural state. Water's significant because it's the most basic requirement for human life. Everything else can be managed as long as you have water. It's why we, as humans, settled around water sources.
"- angel tenudo's ties to the family" ----
This story line is pretty much done. There's gray areas intentionally, but all you're supposed to know in the story is that Angel was once part of something similar to what Scratch and Durai were, but then turned his back on it and went into the military to get away from all that. I might mention it in passing, but don't expect something huge. Whatever plotlines it was part of are pretty much over.
"- are there no other humans left on the planet? No signals on ham radio at all?"
A lot of that was covered in Season 3, so there most likely won't be any external world influences or discoveries. Are there others? Most likely.
Do you guys think Scratch will ever come back in to the story, becasue she was important at one time but at the same time she could have left. I just think for some reason it will show that she never comes back, just to show what a true to life story it can be and also throw us for a loop. What so you guys think? maybe they will concentrate more on the z for once.
Kc, there is no button to like your post and it seems silly to give you rep. Bleh. You're messing with my OCD brain here!
Thanks for the clarification; It's always nice to have.
Must have slipped my attention ...
Yes. She will return. I am certain. Because her deal with Pegs is not done yet.

- raises the acceptance of killing humans in huge numbers,
- reveals everything bad and and even worse about human behaviour and psychology,
- is fun.
