Chapter 28-Last Dying Breath Part 2

[Grognaurd]

When Tanya meets Michael at the colony, he references a bandage on Tanya's Arm. She says, oh it is nothing and you will find almost everyone around here has cuts and bruises or some such thing.

Or, something like that. So, she as a wound of unknown origin when we first her.
Tanya says that she knows of "slow turners" and that the patient she was studying was euthanized before the infection went that for. She also tells us that Marcus did not allow any more experimentation.

I think it is the Proverbial, curiosity killed the cat. Tanya got infected getting too close to the experimental subject.

======================================

The episodes mention scuba gear and it could work as an airsupply. But, the mask shown in the picture is not a SCUBA mask. That mask is only good for land use. This mask does not allow the "pinching" of nose to facilitate pressure equilization and if the mouth is in the same space as the nose, the mask will fogg up. I can go into more detail if anyone is interested.

======================================

Pegs says she would not have killed... ...Him.

I believe that pause is important. My guess is she does not want to say "John" and is playing dumb. The panic of her dream is more of a function of John not being laid to rest (Where am I? Where am I?!) rather than her shooting and killing him.

===================================


I find kelly humorous. She does not like the way Kalani used her. But, here is a flashback

Hey, Noobie, can I buy you a drink.

Ah, no, I do not drink

Wanna Dance?

That I can do

cut away / cut back

Put your hands here..

ah alright.


I probably do not have the proper quotes, but that is the gist of it. To that I will also add, when they land in the chopper, I think kelly says to Tanya or Pegs, Maybe I can get laid again or something like that.

As long as I am poking fun at Kelly in a good natured way. Revist the morning that they lose the water. Datu say something like, Kelly told me, she was in the shower. Michael, I have seen some scarry things in my life, but her like that... We have to remember that Datu is the same dude that says, I have handled worse, we he is cleaning up the dead zombies.

I'm a little bit worried for Vic(ky) and Saul. This title is Last Dying Breath, they are at ground zero in oxygen tanks. Im worried for Frick amd Frack.

What if it's Tanya last breath?

[UndeadSweeper]

You are evil,.......*crying in corner.

Funny, I would think that something Datu would said not Vic.

I am having trouble with the fact that they have choosen to not tell Hope. I feel like she has a right to know who shot Pippin right next to her. She has no idea it could be anyone with her, unless she is listening in again.

I like everything everyone here is speculating. I think there are a lot of good ideas as to what could be wrong with Tanya (though my guess it is nothing at all, other than she is worried they will misdiagnose those scratches on her back and assume she is turning).

But I wanted to quote awkwardalex concern. I couldn't help but feel that not telling Hope about Kalani's journal is a mistake as she might be able to shed one small, minute detail on it all. I understand the group is willing to spare her those terrible memories but you never know what someone else might have to say. Maybe someone will let it slip in her presence and she'll put something together that will make us all feel like we were the blind ones.

I enjoyed hearing the groups reaction to Kalani's journal. After reading the responses in the Chapter 28-1 thread, you'll notice a lot of them mirror the reactions of Michael's group. We all reacted very much like the group did!

Hello,

I am a totally new forum member! and I want to throw in my speculation on GROUND ZERO as well.

I think Saul and Vic will find the Alien Scout Ship that landed there. It then unleashed the virus to rid the planet of all human life so the aliens could have the planet's resources without having to fight a costly war when the rest of the aliens arrive. The Scout ship's defense is to suck all of the oxygen out of the surrounding area so the human's could not get near it. I further predict that Season 4 will be about Michael and company repelling the alien invasion.


As for Burt and Angel, I thing they are both alive. I think that Burt did a George of the Jungle swing into a mattress or couch. He was hurt but alive. I then think that Angel used the zipline harness to repell down the zipline on the outside of the tower and got close to the ground before the tower collapsed hurting him critically. I think that Scratch has them both because of the ending of chapter 24.

So says the Mighty Atomic Hamster

I'm thinking the last dying breath will be from running out of air in their tanks. Victor, while a good dude and I really like him, is expendable to the main storyline. He saved Michael, Pegs and Kelly but isn't a main character. So far all the main characters are still alive and the extras have been killed, or replaced by a new side character. The only guess I have is that they go into that area, get ambushed or snagged on something, Victor panics and runs out of air. Saul being experienced in combat, even with his emotional swings, will probably remain calmer and get out of there without suffocating. I hope Victor makes it, but that's my theory.

Also, Tanya has been acting sickly lately. She was talking about being cold and wearing a jacket or some such. She's got something and is not wanting anyone to know.

Two things I was thinking while listening a second time: 1) It's possible that the bullets fired into Pin Stripes didn't pierce his skin. Not because he was wearing a bullet proof vest, but what if he his skin and/or bones are as hard as a Behemoths? 2) When Victor mentions that he was at a place about 30 miles South, CJ says, "Really?" but in a way that seems to be more concerned about the distance and direction above all else. Did Shaun get in contact with her while he was at the Colony?

Long time listener, new to the forum. I'm so totally torn between theories I had to start contributing!

I find it hard to believe that the Gatemaster would have allowed Tanya to stay in the colony with a possible infection. I believe her injury was more likely due to the abusive/ slave labor thing they had going on. They didn't exactly treat her so great. Why else would she leave into the unknown so willingly? If it were me, and I was the "doctor" at a shitty yet protected community I wouldn't leave with some random people so easily. Just saying. However, because she is more knowledgeable about the characteristics of the zombie-disease she's clearly harboring some information about it that she not ready to share. Wouldn't it be great if Hope was somehow the test subject and that's why she protects her so ferociously? Can "Hope" be the key? Anyway, I don't think it's Tanya's last breath because she just reunited with her son and hasn't met Lizzy yet. Could the Gods be so cruel to Saul?

Someone on the forum mentioned how "weak" Chinwe's survivor group was despite their accommodations. I have to agree. All their preparedness did not matter when the shit hit the fan. While during the attempted Tower siege, that group held together with bare resources. How bad ass will it be when both "leaders" combine? I'm feeling wh33t's suggestion that perhaps she's a military brat. It would be fitting since Michael and co. are at a base and there seems to be a lot of 7 degrees of separation going around.

I'm still holding on to hope that Burt is alive or we get a flashback of a more hardcore death. If he's going out, give him more than the cable snapping and him plummeting to his death.

And with all due respect, yea Kalani started some serious sabotage and drama but how is that different than Saul's Rambo missions that have gone bad? He has lacked serious regard for the group as a whole for his own selfish motives. Kalani had selfish motives as well, his child! It just so happens that Saul situations clean up nicer. Just saying, Kalani tried his best to ammend his deeds in the end.

I fuckin' love this podcast.

I gotta say I don't think Chinwe's group was weak. If anything they were stronger, more organized and better equipped. The reason all their shit fell apart was that no one was able to get away from the building due to the concreted balconies and ground exits. We've got to realize that Ink is a sneaky SOB, he made his way into the tower as well and if it wasn't for the Tower crew showing up they would have all been dispatched with just as much ease.

However, you still can't deny that four (Burt counts too!) military minds are better than one "diy" jack of all trades (plus perhaps she has some non-official training).

I fuckin' love this podcast.
