Yep, which leans toward him being beyond the strength or speed of a normal man. The normal biters seem to be strong only due to the fact....they lack any regard for there own body. But, not necessarily stronger than the average guy.


It would not be uncommon for her arrow to travel upward of 260 feet per second which equals 177mph. And thats on the slower side for compound bows.

It's not really clear, I don't think she actually says he caught it, just that "it's not possible" and "how did he do that?" I guess it could be that the arrow hit and he's pulled it out without it having any effect.

But if he did catch it mid air....
*ahem*

Cover art: Whats the odds on Riley and Kalani coming face to face with 'might not be but could be' pinstripes, and Riley shooting off an arrow at him only for him to catch it mid-air with cat like reflexes?

@Jeebogs
Good call, just wondering what cats you know that can catch arrows?

You mean, you don't know any?

I only tried to see if they could catch arrows once. The authorities weren't keen on the idea of me trying a second time.

wow..so i spend 12 hours away from here and this thread blows up...shoudnt be surprised is guess. anyways

something that i havent seen mentioned, is the subtle hostility saul has been showing toward michael. if you go back through the last few chapters, you'll find several examples of this. im inclined to agree with the few who say saul has little intention of he or lizzie returning to the tower. i could see him having the mentality of "i had to go fight for the one i love, michael can do the same"

someone brought up the 8-2 2-1 walkie channel reference...chapter 2 ep 1 was the chapter we first meet lizzie. chapter 8-2,....this is more interesting. 8-2 is the chapter in which the crew went out on the watertower mission. its a rather uneventful ep. . . . except this is the one in which we first hear of cindy being dug up hhmmm

and one from the crackpot file. i found the entire scene within the hospital to be very emotional. very gripping storytelling that made you care for some charaters you hate..(kalani..for me)and nearly rip your heart out of your chest for the ones you do care about(burt). but, something struck me on my like 4th listen or so.....with the musical score, the entire hosp. scene had a very dream-like quality to it. i dunno, its hard to describe. but i could have easily seen the whole thing playing through and at the end, burt wakes up to find hes been taken prisoner a'la arena style...80's movie vibe bagan to run through my head at that point and i cant make it go away...

The celerity Zombie in the mental wing is most certainly one we have seen before. In the chapter cover, I can "see" that his hand is damaged. Either bloodied or fresh scar tissue. I believe this to be from where Burt shot the zombie at long range late in season 1. Riley even states his -- can not recall exact wording -- malformed? hand.

This is bad news. Because instead of running down and decaying away, at least some of the zombies are gettting smarter with hyped physical abilities.

This zombie shows up at the Tower. He has problems entering the code, but gets it right. The problems would indicate low intelliegnce or poor dexterity. Now, we see him in Doctor Frankensteins basement. Where he (possibly someone else) is triming the overgrown finger tips (and possibly toes) to nasty ass claws as well as do it yourself tattoo parlor. These do not really jive together well. Unless the zzombies are continuing to evolve.

I'm gonna say this, sorry I can read 18 pages and not go crazy lol
But think of where they were at. A mental hospitle, all the blood and stuff may have been becasue the crazy people there went feral. Also I think that Saul is gonna show up and just kill the mallers and get his Liz back

Cane Hill was a psychiatric hospital built to care for patients in the eastern part of Surrey. Charles Henry Howell designed the main buildings which had a Latin motto that translates:

‘I bring relief to troubled minds’.

I found this image huntingly familiar. It really matches the spirit of the chapter covers, imho.
