Chapter 23 Pt 3 - The Devil's Workshop

[GD_Elite]

Okay, I haven't seen mention of this yet and my friend GutsyCoyote brought it up with me last night. I hope someone here can offer some insight because I couldn't: When Kalani and Riley are in the unmapped portion of Cain Hospital, the Mental Hospital portion, they stumble across Pinstripes. Kalani then says, "It's the one from the arena! The fucker survived!" What does he mean survived? Is he referring to the explosion at the arena? Because if he is then how does Kalani know for certain the explosion was at the arena? The only Tower member to have confirmed the explosion is Saul. Angel and Datu said that they only believe the explosion came from the arena but can't know for certain. So what is Kalani referring to?

Good point. The obvious answer is that he just assumed that it was the arena that got destroyed because that is all that is in the direction of the explosion. However as with any little discrepency you can always read alot into it, could Kalani be the rat? It's always a possibility.

It could very well be based off Angel's assessment. After all, Saul assumed the same thing and he was much further away from the Arena than Kalani was at the Tower.

Also remember, they have all been there, so will have a good feel for where the arena is located. In addition, Angel and Kalani talk on the roof of the tower with the net result being that if it was the arena, someone did as a favor.

True. I suppose we could just say that Kalani took his assumtion for truth. Still, it's always fun reading in to the little details until we know for certain. :-) Thanks for the responses on that.

So, since I had luck getting a response to that, I was wondering about another question I had posted that no one so far has helped with: What movie did Bert get the idea to use the walkie talkie explosive to lure the zombies towards it?

Ok, just read through 27 pages of this thread to see if anyone else noticed this on my wife's behalf. When the helo is being fired up and Burt is getting ready to defend the landing pad, you can hear a "ding" in the background. Then Burt shouts, "They're coming!" as you hear the zombie horde coming through.

Is it just us, or did the zombies take the elevator up to the roof???

If they did, my wife wants to know what did the zombies do, wait patiently for the elevator to arrive on their floor, slowly walk in, listen to some muzak, and then spring to undead life when they saw Burt and company?

I heard this too, and promptly forgot.

It is not so much to me that the elevator came, as it is likely they 'pushed' the button as they chased them into the elevator. To me it is of more importance that it got up to the top floor. Even if they had pushed every button, surely at the first floor they stopped at a lot of the zombies would have piled out. So it seems like the zombies either had to know where they were likely to go, or be able to read a display panel that might have shown what floor the elevation stopped on.

To me the ding sounds like more of a sound of automatic doors opening. Like, the doors from the interior hall to the roof..could be though..

Perhaps it was simply closing after being called by the incidental contact of an unchecked Zed elbow?

[7oddisdead]

I'm not 100% sure...just went back and re-re-listened and it seems like that "ding" is simply part of the dreamy music being played during that sequence..nothing more.
