I really enjoyed all of the backstory. I was hoping we'd hear more about
Kalani's time in the We're Alive Tower, but I guess we are going to have to wait to hear more about that.
The big question about this episode that has stuck with me, is why Duncan was spared. I've read what others have said, but I can't help but feel there's something more to it.
-HaveCrowBarWillTravel posted an idea that he was spared as "a perverted 'at'ta boy', thanks for letting us in.... now watch this!". This seems unlikely as the One with the Markings did not offer the same "consideration" to
Paul.
-CabbagePatch and others mentioned that he was schizophrenic and mentally unstable, and so undesirable. But he seemed to have cracked after the incident. And even if he wasn't desirable for turning, he could still be used a Zombie chow. Haven't we heard of zombies trying to eat canned goods and even dog food? I can't see them turning down a defenseless candy treat of
Skittles.
-He could have been binge drinking to cover up his scent, but he still would have been very visible.
-Perhaps he was cleaning the cat litter pans for
Chinwe and smelled like feces/zombies, but again he'd still be visible.
-Is it possible he was a relative of the One with the Markings? He might have a similar pheremone/scent signature that is protecting him. I don't know.
... but I can't wait to find out.
