Back in chap 10 when Ink was in the tower, he never really spoke. He just repeated things. He said, "help us.." And "paul," but he never made a real sentence.

I believe him saying "move" or whatever is him repeating scratch and others. They were yelling "move" and such.

Right? Anyone w/ me?

Dang. Just listened for the 4th time today, and realized my memory was a lil off.

Dang. Thought I was on to something.

That's a point, if they're on the same channel does that mean that Saul could hear the entire exchange between Burt/Angel and Riley/Kalani? If he figures out where they are, he might be able to do something

In they hospital they are using short range walkie talkies (per angel as they went in to the hosp). The stuff Saul heard from Burt was CB.

Riley and Kalani take the bed sheets and get to the helicopter. Tie the sheets onto one of the landing bars with that knot of Kalani's, fly over and let Angel climb up into the helicopter, Burt can run and grab it and then they fly away. We already know the sheets were able to hold Kalani's weight it was just that the sheets were rubbing against the brick of the building. On the bars there will be no friction like that to cut it.

Please let this be what happens.

Fantastic episode.

Now I want to go back and correct last chapter's prediction tally because Bricks, Tar and Lizzy did all survive the blast.

I'm also curious as to what people would say to there not having been a massive attack by the zombies yet. We've seen a group of 20-ish attempt to attack and abscond with Tanya, and we know there's a huuuuge pile of zed heads at the hospital but how many were chasing after them? hmm....Wonder if I can call that inconclusive at the moment.

As for the arrows hoisting the sheets back up to the 10th floor: I don't think it's possible. Even if you deconstruct the rope and send it back up piece by piece, each individual sheet would be too heavy to let an arrow fly. I'm basing this off Mythbuster knowledge when they tried to cleave a tree in half. They couldn't get 3 sticks of dynamite to fly so they stuck it into the tree before they lit the fuse. And the best guess I can find is that the average stick of Dynamite weighs approximately 0.5lbs. Meaning if the sheets weigh more than 1.5 pounds they probably wouldn't fly right or at all. Not to mention so much flowing goodness behind the arrowhead would definitely mess up the flight path.

Maybe the "zombies" are congregating in a specific part of the hospital that has to do with some of the rituals that the new character in Chapter 23's artwork has in mind or Inky.

Maybe the "zombies" are a scouting party? Or perhaps they were meant to separate the group to make it easier to either capture them or kill them?

Also, that logic with the arrows seems to make sense...especially since it happened on Mythbusters =P

This may be an apples and oranges situation. On Mythbusters all of the weight from the dynamite was concentrated on the shaft of the arrow. Tying off the bed sheet rope to an arrow and firing it at the window wouldn't the same concentration of weight. But I'm not sure just how much weight an arrow can tow and probably depends on the type of bow and the weight of the arrow.

Well I assume it's probably a compound bow since Riley picked it up from a sporting goods store and since that's what is used by most modern day hunters and archers. Not to say that Riley might have picked up a modern day recurve or composite bow, but I find that unlikely since it was a sporting goods store.

I think a long bow might be able to shoot the blanket up, but I doubt that Riley is packing something that is probably as tall, if not taller then herself, indoors no less.

Couple things...
I listened on about 5 different sources...and each time during the tape recorder part it really does sound like the zom says "move"...especially when you consider the running footsteps after that..but we have analyzed that to death already

Scratch came and got them..in the confusion, it sounded as if tardust said hurry up or THEY'll leave us..thus implies to me that more mallers than just scratch were present at that time. Which increases the chances of Lizzie and they mallers not being in the group being drug to the hospital,can't say that for sure..but strength in numbers...

If burt sent his bag down with riley, then he and angel essentially have only whatever ammo they had on their person, which does not bode well for them..and someone mentioned the idea of tying the blankets to the leg of the chopper....problem being, we are given no indication that they took the blankets with them back into the roof access hatch..only real hope on that angle is the chopper is equipped with a rope ladder...

In the last episode kalani and riley were arguing over each others usefulness,now they are paired together...sounds similar to the kalani angel adventure...hopefully the outcome will be as successful...i


Great episode, but damn...its like not even the last chapter and we have already had two cliffhangers...cant wait to see how KC leaves us hanging for the season ender

I don't know if this has been mentioned already, but I just found the placement of characters so interesting. When we first found Burt, he was locked up in a bathroom slowly dying; with Angel unwilling to sacrifice the smallest bit for anyone. Now we come full circle with both characters locked up in a room, together now changed for what seems like the better. The brilliance in the writing...amazing.

Never have I ever been more affected by a story. After months of listening to this podcast, I never knew I would be this invested in the characters. Please don't kill Burt
