It strikes me as funny the dynamic differences of opinion on certain characters. Most of us seem to latch hold of one character or another and that is "our guy"(or girl).. But one questions why? What draws us to these specific people? For me its burt. In burts character I can see aspects if myself, my father, and most importantly my grandfather. If we all were to stop and think about it, the characters we enjoy the most are not actually the characters we are presented with. Instead they are the people we could see them being. Their the friends, the fathers,sisters, lovers, lovers that do not exist in some cases. I find it interesting just how diverse the cast KC has given us has become. Certainly when you start to consider the people we have grown to hate...which are few but the feelings toward them are very strong..ive said this before. And I'll say this again, from a story as a whole standpoint, view this entire thing as a dream in Michaels head...with no influence of your own personal feelings. Then, Tell me if you feel the same way..

Well enough rambling....todd out

I see what your saying. And agree. If I haven't made in obvious in a lot of my posts, I love Pegs. I think we latch on because we can relate with those characters the best. And since KC has created such a diverse group of characters, there is someone for everyone. And once there is a character you begin to relate to you, you feel really protective of them.

Oh dear. My favs are scratch and skittles... What on earth does that say about my ability to relate. *shudders*

the latest in things to occur to me is, how many generals? What we know of "ink" or "the one with the markings" is pretty basic. Pinstriped suit, tattooed hands and head,short hair....and that's about it. We know that the "little one" bricks broke a piece off of had a freshly inked tattoo. We know that a "marked" one was at the arena about the same time "paul" was at the tower. All of this points me at one thing...

I am an artist and creative mind by nature. This is something I cannot change,nor would I want to..while I have no tatoos, I do know that if I did they would be of my own design. Being an introvert and generally speaking a hermit would lead me to not want the work of another on my body. So I would know the placement and design of each and every ratio I had. We have evidence of someone within the zom clan/army having access to tattoo equipment...could it not be possible for "ink" to create more than one of himself from a few of the "smart ones"?...his generals as it were? When it comes to the undead..if I saw a zom in a pinstriped suit with hands and face tatt'ed up I would naturally assume its always the same one....

Is thus likely? No. Is it possible? Yes....

so multiple Ink underlings of his own creation and design? I like. Very The Prestige-esque. That would be an awesome twist, if they think they've got him and then he reappears.

HA! Brain is a nutter. On the prestige note, the markings can be covered and "randy" is actually ink in disguise! They are one in the same! (Ok, so that one is a stupid one, brought about by lack of sleep, but your idea has merit and is cool.)

Yep...a total thought based on mems crock pot

A crock pot by design sloow cooks food. You put say, a pot roast in before you leave for work, and presto! Come home to freshly cooked meat. We have been speculating about who was behind the zom apocalypse in this story, but thing we haven't really thought of is.

What if LA wasn't the origin of it all? When will the "master of the house" come home to see how the pot roast is doing?
it would seem the zoms are evolving beyond the original carpenter ant mentality..they now are working as what would seem an "army".this is beyond the typical ant behavior..outside the nest, ants do not have leaders, each simply knows what their job/role is within the hive....and they do their job...so I'm curious when the true "master" in this equation will be revealed..but I'm saving more thoughts on that for the break..
