Randy / Randi

[CantWaitForSeason3]

Then, Michael says I may have hit him again

Michael normally distances himself from his opponents on the battlefield.
I apologize for no references but i know this as the case as early as 1:1 he says they are no longer human but acted more like animals.
This is very out of character for Michael.

Does Michael hesitate before he shoots? Does he even realize its randy before he shot?

[Grognaurd]

He shoots at a zombie and hits it once
He runs to close the range.
Zombie turns...Michael Sees and yells Randy and shoots in a very short time. He does not hit with these shots as Randy ducks around a corner.

So some shots at range at the zombies back
Then at closer range recognizes Randy and shoots.

I feel like Randy and his broken arm are tied together. I don't have any evidence or reason, I just have a suspision that they're gonna tie together.

Okay so Randy is male.
It makes sense that Randy showed up during the time when michael was left behind at the water station because that is the only time when we are unsure what has happened to him. And that he was deliberately awkward about telling others what happened during that time.

Now speculation: Michael seems angry at Randy. (I believe it is Randy!! and that he shoots at Randy even after he sees its face.) This makes it quite possible that Randy was responsible for the broken arm. This also leads me to believe that Michael knew that he was a zombie already, because he fired without any hesitation.

When Michael is questioned about the events at the water pumping station he avoids the questions, much like he does questions about his past early on. If the previous point is true, it is likely that Michael knew Randy before this all started.

After killing cindy early on, Riley 'knows' that Michael has lost someone too. Yet when he seems to be opening up to Kelly he tells her he has no-one. This could suggest he is still keeping secrets about his past even when he seems to be opening up.

Michael is one shady character.Who knows how much he could be lying about. He says his parents were killed in a car crash. Harry Potters parents were killed in a "car crash". (Not that I'm saying Randy is Voldemort or anything lol)

Thank you for elaborating. It's been a kinda developing theory for me.

[Grognaurd]

This is just an odd fact that I want to drive home. I got the impression that Randy Recognizes Michael. When Michael yells "Randy" there is a distinct zombie sound as in recognition.

Going way out on the edge,

Each time we see them the zombies are getting smarter and better organized. What if the outbreak was a heavy memory wipe in addition to other celllular trauma. What if after a couple of months, the body has a solid immune response and the zombies have a slow change back to human. How horrific would it be to be mostly out of your mind crazy and deal with the fact that you have been killing and eating your friends for the past few months?

[7oddisdead]

Wow interesting twist...i likes. The question I'm thinking though is, what then? As they progressively return to normal,how far will their organized assault on the rest of humanity have progressed at that point? I mean what if they have already wiped out the rest us when the transition returns them to normal...we could theorize on that for days...

Hmm...I think that Randy must be a fellow soldier, or a guy from the water works incident. Those are the only two plot-meaningful instances in my opinion. In fact, I'd almost forgotten about that entirely....(must go re-listen to those chapters)

Slow turners...yes, this could explain the vomitting of Lizzy, Pegs, and what was starting to happen to Victor. It that's the case, then it will be a very tough execution when the time comes.

Now, I can't remember but has anyone been killed as a human? With the exception of the Mallers? It could be that they are all already infected and the sicker or weaker you are the "faster" it affects you? (I guess this would be part of the "slow turner" theory." What I mean to say is: did any of the Mallers who were killed "as humans" get up after a while as one of "them"? (I can't remember if this was mentioned or not....like I said, I will definitely have to re-listen to these earlier chapters). If they did, then this would mean that everyone is infected and perhaps the level of damage to their bodies (including malnutrition, injury, or even the common cold and things like that) is what speeds the transformation up? or am I just shooting in the dark??

In the early arena episodes, a zombie is dragging a dead body. Later, one is dragging a person at deaths door. She does not rise as a zombie she just dies. Paul was eaten in the tower and did not rise.

It is not the classic zombie mythos where everybody gets up to dance. There is something more curious going on

Oh, okay...thanks for answering! Like I said, I need to go re-listen to some of the earlier chapters, since it's been awhile.

I agree that there's something else going on...Ground Zero, the Pinstriped-Suit Man, and the evidence of creatures who couldn't possibly have been human...there's something "Umbrella-like" going on here.
