Chapter 21 - "Mark of the Beast" - Part 1

Does anyone think that Bricks might not be a bad guy?

This episode laid out A LOT! Holy crap.

Yeah I can see Bricks "escaping" the Mallers with Lizzie. but will the Tower ever trust him? Especially with Pippen in the picture now too.

I would trust Bricks before Pippen.

I was just about to post something like this. Ever since Scratch and Angel came face to face, Ive always been trying to figure out how they knew each other... The military might be it...

I've been lurking on the forum for about 3 months now...sort of waiting for my theory on this to pop up. Finally, after reading THIS post, I decided to join so I could respond to it.

In one of the episodes during the first season, it's revealed that Angel can hot-wire cars, but he doesn't really want to talk about where/how he developed this talent. He was then quick to distance himself from Scratch around the others, but he does seem to have some sort of secret connection to her (dropping off Latch's body inexplicably). Does anyone think that maybe Angel has some sort of criminal background, and probably knows some of the Mallers due to this? We don't really have a lot of details one way or the other, but....it just seemed like this sort of "slipped through the cracks" so to speak...

Wow man. My thoughts...
1) That IS art of the arena burning! wtf? I think the Mallers are trying to eliminate the zombie nest??? But don't forget the zombies lit fires in there. It could have been an accident...
2) I guess Lizzy's "no" was to Tardust driving in the opposite direction, or meeting up with all the packed up tankers.
3) I think Kalani's trainee pilot for the second helicopter will be Pegs. (Her father was a pilot)
4) Lizzy is sick because of the zombies. (Don't know why, but... maybe they are secreting their own pheramones like an insect hive) But why just her and not Tardust & Bricks?
5) The Mallers are keeping slaves to clear the roads and do their dirty work.
6)Pippen got the shit beaten out of him obviously... I think he is either a scientist from the labs that knows about the virus that the mallers imprisoned, or a dirty traitor maller that is going to try to play our tower team for fools.
7) I just don't know where the mallers are planning on settling! I want to say the colony because they were evesdropping on all of the towers conversations. But imagine if they all tried going for Fort Erwin and there was a Giant Final War? NEXT EPISODE PLEEEASE!!!!!

I agree with you PlutoniumX. Angel & Scratch prob have a criminal past and Angel doesn't want it to harm his reputation as a "leader" in the tower. Also, I think it was... Yarri maybe... (Don't kill me if I'm wrong) that suggested maybe Angel was on the jury that convicted her. (Which would explain why she knows his face, but didn't know his name) If that's the case, when she realizes it... she WILL BE PISSED!!!!

Getting back to the page 2 post.....the one with the markings is starting to side with the mallers. Who do we know with markings at the tower? What are the markings? Scars or tattoos?

The One with the Markings is Ink, the tattooed one, the smart zombie who infiltrated the Tower in chapter 11. But if he is siding with the Mallers, why did he attack their convoy?

[VeritableHero]

Fixed! Stupid player...

Don't hate the player, KC. Hate the game!

Some comments:
1. The radio being so loud won't make a difference with so many big trucks. You wouldn't be able to hear a radio with so many tractor trailors. Tardust is definitely an idiot because he honked the horn. That would be louder than the radio!

2. Bricks is hilarious and definitely mans up against Tardust in this episode.

3. Has anyone commented about a broken neck killing the zombie? Bricks said he broke its neck, implying that it was a death blow to the zombie. That seems significant in some way.

4. I agree that the arm will prove to be significant. Maybe Lizzy uses it to turn Tardust? Maybe some blood already got to Tardust and he turns at the beginning of the next episode. Not much time passed between that event and when we switched over to the tower. Tardust turns making it necessary for others to kill him or for Bricks to break his neck.

Just my thoughts.

I don't think Pippin can be a rat if we presume that the mallers were in a convoy rather than it being a co-ordinated attack against the Arena, what would be the logical benefit of leaving a rat behind if your moving onto better and brighter pastures, perhaps by "dropping off" she meant leaving him behind.
