KC, it made my heart happy that you brought Hope into the story. It's nice to hear that she made it out alive; that is a nice way to make us feel better about you killing off our dear Samantha.

Greg did a good job with his lines, too. He was very chipper so I hope that indicates a happy environment in the colony that we can trust. Although, I could just be setting myself up for disappointment when it turns into a weird place.

Overall, this episode did a great job of advancing the story.

I'm even more anxious to return to the Angel story, though, and finally learn what's been happening at the tower.

Pete is Greg from another podcast! So cool, KC.

Umm ..... the writing seemed spot on. I really felt like this is what would happen but I'm not sure I felt that anything big happened. We did learn that they are pro-military (I was worried they may have actually fought some military earlier), that they still have supplies (and lots of them), and are coming under attack.

They don't seem much like cannibals to me. I doubt they would have bothered with any medical aid if they were planning on eating them. Keeping Hope alive was good pathos and softened the hard image of the Colony suggested in part 1. There's still potential for drama when our crew meets Marcus, but I doubt it will be of the gustatorial variety.

On a different note, I have to say I really appreciate the sound editing. I normally listen on my car speakers which are just factory issue. I listened to this week's podcast in my home office on a set of quality speakers and the sound of the truck rumbling came through wonderfully. I'm tempted to go back and start from the beginning and hear what I missed the first time around.

Wonder if Marcus will let them go back to the others. Maybe michael will have to sneak out with a freshly broken arm.
Also, why was victor trying to keep them away?

Speaking of the sound design, as soon as they walked into the street and I heard birds, I knew they were safe. Honestly, when was the last time you heard that many birds chirping in this podcast?

i certainly hope that we'll be hearing more about michaels arm, but i suppose it wouldnt make much sense for michael to tell the story to a bunch of random people. The colony doesnt seem so bad but it is a dictatorship nonetheless.

ok so here's my theory, Michael's arm is out for another month or so, so he's basically useless till then, i get the feeling that this Marcus (speaking of which who is he? other than the leader, have we met him before?) is not gonna let michael leave. Soldiers are valuable, so they might force michael to stay. Maybe Kelly and Pegs will run the meds back to saul in the tower, and then teh next storyline would be something as to how the colony is evil incarnate, and an alliance forms between the mallers and the tower, and then they go to war with the colony as it seems both the mallers and the tower need to relocate.

i rly rly rly want a team up with the mallers and the tower, but this is all just blindly throwing stuff out there to get to an end where theres a maller/tower tag team on the colony.

also hope, i had no clue who she was cause every time i re listen to the podcast, i always skip chapter 10 or all the parts with samantha and datu, but i'd hope to hear where the old tower is and an exploration of that area, maybe they have water or power or maybe thats wehre they'll move into.

Why not an alliance WITH the colony? I mean really what's the difference between the way Michael/Burt act and the way we think Marcus acts? I remember Burt not letting people go look for help for Saul ....

I'm in the minority now that thinks the Colony is not all that bad (yet) but something certainly has the scouts thinking it is... Now what could that be....

I'm with you tentatively. But I believe one of two things will happen: The Tower will agree to move to the Colony and will be attacked en route by Mallers (I think this to be less likely).

Or, the Tower moves to the Colony but are too used to doing things their own way (and we all know how well people in the Tower obey rules and submit to authority...) which leads to friction and results in conflict between the two groups. This could open The Tower group to the alliance with the Mallers everyone seems so keen for, because the Tower group will be desperate.
