Wow, really good episode. The forums, as usual, have made an excellent companion piece to pointing out things that I might not have really thought about.
Thoughts:
I kind of like Bricks. He keeps really terrible company and is a bit too willing to go with the flow, but hopefully he will continue to redeem himself, like when he took the cuffs off Lizzy. He could be a useful addition to the tower crew.
As someone mentioned back a couple pages, there's no way in hell the zombies are working with the mallers. Whoever is their puppetmaster seems bent on eradicating or turning humanity and little else.
Tardust needs to hurry up and get eaten.
Pippin is a mole. The way I took it, his name revealed as the cliffhanger, is what should and did inspire anxiety for our Tower dwellers.
Once again I'm ever more curious if The Marked One in the Arena and PinStripe Paul are one in the same, or different? Given the distinctions dropped on us, I'm assuming they're seperate. Which one is calling the shots though? I've started to think of Pinstripe as the one that's been making an appearance on the rooftops since the beginning, and maybe The Marked One is kind of the overlord?
Boy, I'm glad my wife doesn't read this forum. I think my geek levels have officially gone through the roof.
P.S. Nik, nice try breaking out the Socratic Method in your earlier post.
