Randy / Randi

[Grognaurd]

Speculation:

Randy meets Michael in the water works. He was one of few that was there. I am pretty sure that it was mention that they looked Human and Freshly killed. Randy survived, but was bit by a zombie. The curveball, Randy was a slow turner. Michael had to witness the decay of Randy's humanity and all Michael can do is a deathwatch. Why didn't Michael just kill Randy? Randy saved Michael's life

Many have speculated about waterworks, but where the Hell do I pull out my idea? Michael does say Randy. But on my first listen through Michael's inflection seems to be one of command. Not surprise. Remember, the waterworks was a month ago in WA-Time

Michael doesn't know about slow turners until Tanya mentioned it a couple chapters ago, so while I agree with many a thing you bring up here, Randy wouldn't have been a slow turner.

I Could very well be wrong, but a little more than 24 hours later Saul is shot and may have been exposed. Would Michael drop the slow turner story then or keep his mouth shut. As Michael was going to see Saul, doesn't he hear that that they unchained Saul? Michael's reply was they took the chains off?

Going further, Lizzy was vomitting. Maybe they were getting close to ground zero. But how many times have we heard it stinks? This sounds abnormal to me. I do not think it could be that bad. But what have we heard stinks many times?

[Grognaurd]

I am wondering if I am hearing things or making too much out of nothing. I hear Randy! I do not here Randy? Thoughts?

If there is a difference, it is very consequential to the rest of the story.

[StepLaugh]

I think I see what you're saying something like:

Randy! Oh no you didn't!
and
Randy? Is that really you? What are you doing here?

Or at least that's what I'm guessing.

[StickUpKid]

Maybe both like Randy?!

[Grognaurd]

Yea, SL. What I hear is a command to grab the attention of a subordinate.

Not, Randy? What the hell are you doing here as a zombie?

[Hollomandious]

We never did find out who Randy was did we. Almost forgot about him. But Michael running into him on the battlefield as a Zombie makes me believe he is an integral part of that whole waterworks fiasco that Michael won't talk about. My guess is he is the sole reason Michael made it out of there.

[Grognaurd]

I listened to this part on teh way to work this AM.

I firmly believe Michael says Randy!!!
Then, Michael says I may have hit him again
There is something else very interesting...

Michael Shoots Randy in the Arm
Randy Drops Tanya
Michael runs closer to get a better shot
Randy Turns around
Michael sees the face and says Randy!!
Randy says GGRRR or something similar, but it is not one of the generic zombie growls we regularly hear.
It does not start until "randy" is spoken and Michaels narration does not start until the growl is complete
Michael (narrating) refers to the Zombie called Randy as him.

I suspect, there is recognition of both parties. Michael recognizes Randy. Randy recognize Michael.

when I heard it, I thought it was "Randy!!!" like he knew who the zombie was.
