Ladies and Gentlemen, straight from Mysterical Island, it's the Shaman of Schiznick, the Mofo with the Mojo, the Mad Scientist of the Jungle, the Doctor is in!
Doctor? Doctor who?
NO! Witch Doctor, fool!
Well this should be an interesting Ep.. do we get another 30 min one????
Can't wait to see if Burt and Riley run into Scratch while she is trying to follow the convoy..
But my biggest Question on the mallers.. How many are actually still around? Just those 3? I do not think a lot of them survived the fight at the end of Season 3.
So, I have been thinking about the church image. Several ideas...
The wedding? Yea, the last year has been rough, but are they going to try and hold onto any traditions?
Baptism of the child? See above
Pray for strength? A prayer is a prayer, but many believe a prayer in a church carries more weight. Even if this is discounted, it may bring emotional comfort of the familiar in trying times
A debt? Datu does not change and he considers it a miracle and puts his fix up skills to repairing the house of God
Nope. Datu is going to say his final goodbyes. You know how they say dogs and cats go off to die alone when they know it's time.... I get the feeling it's the same for Datu at this point. A final moment to say goodbye to his kids and family that he knows he will never see again. The picture is too ominous and dark to have happier connotations to it (wedding or baptism).

I want to add, maybe a classic church shootout is going down between the remnants of the Mallers and the main cast of the Colony and then the numbered, 'little', pale ones wedding crash it...boy, I do sure love Mondays!
Oooooo and there it is!!!
Commenting before reading all the pages of commentary, noob mistake number one, but hey guys, I haven't been on in months. And I have a meeting to go to, and I'm the scribe for the meeting minutes so I can't even fake it and read through all of these, so the first page will have to do for now, sorry if I re-iterate someones comments already made
The church? I think it's one of the safe houses/places CJ has set up and it's where the convoy Scratch is presumably tailing is going. There will be a firefight and Scratch will likely take it over as her own, undoubtedly hoping Pegs is part of the crew to come to the unresponsive radio at safe house st peters basilica.
Now the symbols on Ink that Datu can read? I think Kc has grounded us in some sort of reality, so a 'turned only' language is far fetched. The symbols are biblical, I'm talkin old-world/old-testament shit: ARAMAIC. Datu didnt just take night classes for some plumbing repair...he's a linguistics master and a devout catholic.....Or, you know, his native land had some aborginal tribes using similar symbols that he learned a bit about in some history classes growing up, so he recognizes them. This doesnt guarantee Datu's survival, in fact I think he's going to die immdiately. This will leave us to all "guess" the language and spend a few days scavenging libraries in the phillipines history sections.
I stand by some earlier claims I made long long ago. Ink learned of some pre-historic shit, perhaps spoken about in phillipine history. He knew there was this world-wide quake/rupture of haze coming up at some point, and had become obsessed with preserving the human race (or something) through it and tried to modify US to survive it, rather than fight it. So we cope and prevail...but throw in some insanity, obsession, and getting affected by the haze himself, and you've got a recipe for some messed up shit.
I mean, Kalani even said "the ones on the island were even meaner"...we still never address that, and only say these 'special' ones are in LA. So, perhaps there's some aboriginal inks out there as well with not as much chemsitry knowledge running their own personal armies to a similar degree to be noted as 'meaner'.
That's all I got, time for a meeting. Missed all you guys, wish I had the time to read chapters of discussion and catch up, but this will have to do.
Zombies!
Are you with me so far?
Jurassic-era Haze!
Still with me?
ZOMBIE PTERODACTYLS!.....Where'd everybody go?
I like the idea of a turned-only language, even if it is far fetched. I'm super into linguistics, so Datu's being able to read this stuff intrigues the hell out of me, and I can't wait to find out the reason. At first I thought that the address was just in Latin, and Datu could of course read it because, being a practicing Catholic, he knows at least a bit of Latin. However, I missed that the address was in symbols and not in the Latin alphabet.
Many of the languages spoken in the Philippines are in similar families to languages spoken in Hawaii. After some flitting about with Wikipedia and google images (because, while I love linguistics, I'm not very familiar with these languages; I'm more into the Indo-European languages) I found out that Tagalog is originally written in a script that seems a little like what Puck was describing. I haven't really been keeping up with the forum lately, so I don't know if someone has already posted something like this. If they did, apologies. If not, take a look.
