Chapter 25- Inadequate Strength part 3

[Randle K]

Man this entire chapter felt a little "Inadequate." I know Kc has a plan, but after suffering from "we're Alive" withdraws all fall long this chapter was pretty weak. I don't know if the story had to get slowed down to meet the 4 season time-frame or was this just one of those chapters that was all potatoes and no meat. I am dying to hear whats going on with Saul and Victor.

Earlier in this chapter: Michael was the one who had the Jambalaya MRE, and Saul is right the vegetarian ones are the best ones; i got chocolate peanut butter in one once.

I am going to have to disagree with you. This chapter felt perfect in my opinion. Though I think the arrangement of each chapter could have gone a little better. Perhaps have the Saul/Victor scenes from 25-1 and 25-2 condensed into Episode 25-1, then focus on Michael and the group in 25-2 and 25-3.

Out of curiosity, how long have you been a listener? There are some chapters from previous seasons where it seems as though nothing happened, but that's the reality of it (even though it's fictitious), you can't have shoot outs, chases, deaths, and the bits that are considered "meaty" in every chapter. Just enjoy the character development and ponder the possibilities of what lay ahead.

Several were posted about the JGG and yes, that puppy has wheels. It only has one door and that's on the right side. Nothing to hold on to other than the "fins."
Next theory...

The veggie ones SUCK!! Mike forgetting that he was the one with the Jambalaya and getting lost in the cornfield are indications that he's pretty close to losing it. The stress isn't adding up, it's added already. Matter of fact, it's doing complex equations on him now.
If they get a real breather, Tonya probably needs to give him a horse or elephant tranq. At the very least.. medical Mary Ja'wana (it is Cali after all).

It has a large door in the rear doesn't it? But yeah, no skids. So much for the short lived, awesome term "skid zombie".

As long as he doesn't try to divide by zero.......

KC, well done with the cliffhanger.....AGAIN! It's going to be a long two weeks so I'll be looking forward to what happens now that we know Ft. Irwin is not zombie free. I'm thinking that since there are zombies there, there will also be "normal" people. Where there's a food source there's a zombie, otherwise they'll just keep on moving till they find one right? Those are the "zombie rules" as I understand it.

Victor and Saul better make friends fast because something tells me they're in for a lot of trouble with just the two of them out there.

Well if there are zombies that doesn't guarantee there are normals there. Early on in the story we have confirmed these aren't your typical zombies that follow the "zombie rules". For one they have been caught eating canned food and MRE's. Hell, they even eat each other, or so it seems. So if the whole base has turned, down to the very last normal person, they can continue on whatever food stuffs were on the camp and then start eating each other.

KC leaves it so nothing is certain...damn it!

I have been listening over the past six months. Yes, you are correct about fiction not always being able to be complete action, but other then finally getting Michael's group to Fort Erwin,but for the most part it didn't seem like there was much story/character development (I'm not counting Riley's alcoholism and Datu's inability to shoot). I think a lot of my frustrations come from how I started listening, I didn't really have to wait to find out what was happening next because I was behind and finally caught up by the season 2 finally. That being said, typically at the end of each chapter I would have a feeling of satisfaction, but i wasn't able to get this one, so I have to stand by my original opinion. I tried listening to 25-1, 25-2, and 25-3 all together but I still didn't get a warm and fuzzy about it.

Ah, yeah. That'll happen. I didn't come in till around chapter 8 or 9. So I was able to listen to the whole first 8 chapters without pause. After that it was difficult waiting for each new episodes, harder to wait for each new chapter, and even harder still to wait for each new season to begin. You'll get used to it though. A great way to pass the time between is to listen to We're Not Dead. That or begin anew and start listening at the beginning all over again.

Getting back to 25-3 I am starting to think over this whole Michael-is-getting-over-stressed thing. It seemed trivial that he would forget he was the one who had Jambalaya, but when you look at how it was mentioned in two chapters (25-1 he states what he is eating, 25-2 he specifically asks who ate the jambalaya) it seems like it is a note worthy point. I've listened to chapter 25 three or four times now but forgot to take notice if Michael slept. Has he had much sleep at all lately? Remember in chapter 3 he crashed out for a full 24 hours? Maybe Mikey needs to recharge his batteries.
