Chapter 28- Last Dying Breath Part 1

[Raven]

Great to hear old voices again, but as far as I can tell there are no new Angel recordings. I'm a bit curious as to where Shane Salk is, as he's also not producing this season.

dunno if it ever made it to other works page but last I heard Shane was being the genie in Aladdin on a cruise partying it up or some such shenanigans.
But I really liked the whole The War in a nutshell with Kahlani/Bill add ons. It really gave some good perspective

So Kalani never said anything about his daughter being killed in his journals. Do we assume the red-head on the golf course was her? Is she still alive? WTF? Questions still exist!

I don't think Datu will be upset that he was used as an alibi by Kalani. His bigger concern might actually be Hannah. Keep in mind that Hope is sort of in a situation like Hannah was; left orphaned to a group that doesn't really want her. Colony : Mallers : : Hope : Hannah

So, does anyone think we could see Datu and possibly Pegs arguing that they need to go back and rescue Hannah? Then Riley and Tanya will jump on board and say they need to check for Saul and Angel? That would leave Michael out voted. Perhaps once convinced, he would talk with the Ft. Irwin Commander and provide some other reason they need to head back to Los Angeles?
It's a pretty thin idea, but it could happen.

In regards to the chapter art, I have no idea what is going to happen. My instincts tell me it is something related to Ground Zero, but why would Saul want to go there? His only concern right now is Lizzy. Perhaps we are still in store for some more flashbacks, only this time they will be told from the files of Chinwe and focus on her convoys venturing into Ground Zero?

I really hope it doesn't go the way of 'Oh my god! Michael! We need to go rescue poor Hannah!'. I don't think I could stomach another Season of whining and pining. Those that survived and made it to Irwin need to focus on what's in front of them and not what's behind.

Very true. I honestly don't see Hannah being a priority for the group. But if you look at what lies ahead, they do eventually need to get some answers as to what is causing the Zombie outbreak and how it can be dealt with. They can't live at Ft. Irwin forever in perpetual safety while the rest of the world remains an undead playground. They'll definitely have to head back to Los Angeles to investigate Ground Zero.

That would still be looking forward though. Searching for an answer/cure for the outbreak is a move in the right direction. Sitting around pining over those left behind isn't moving the story forward. It keeps it idle and over enough time will drive it backward. I'd hate to see that happen.

Piggybacking off both Osiris and Hero: The nice thing about how the cast is currently split up is the ability to multi-task the plot line. While Saul, Victor and potentially CJ investigate ground zero and the outbreak (which seems inevitable since that machine gun in the artwork looks suspiciously like the SAW), Michael and the other survivors can explore another aspect of the story like the collapse of the government structure or something else.

There's no way they stay at Irwin. And I hope we go a different route than the Colony where they had to leave rapidly because shit went downhill. I think it'd be nice to have it more like a mission to return to LA for some reason and just happen to hear some radio chatter to realize their peeps are still alive.

Piggy backing off of Nik, who piggy backed off of me, who piggy backed off of Osiris, who is just a wierdo. :
That seems to make quite a bit of sense. I don't think there are any strong reasons that we currently know of for anyone at Ft. Irwin to return to L.A. There has to be some new element they introduce to Michaels group so they can have a real reason to return to L.A. I'm hoping that the military group in Ft. Irwin have a shit load of intel regarding what happened, and possibly shed some light on Ground Zero. It could end up being a split story telling mode where you have the Brass talking about what they know at Ground Zero and Saul,Victor, & Chinwe witnessing it first hand as they explore that area.

But again, I can't imagine how they would convince Saul to go check out Ground Zero when, right now, his only priority is getting Lizzy back.

I'm not piggy backing off anyone.

Ok, I got confused. You mean Charlie, not Carl.

I...knew...that...it was a test, yeah, a test...

[Eviebae]

I think she does acknowledge that Durai is in command, but she's still a rogue soldier, I think her choices time and time again prove that.

I think she's a survivor, and Durai seems to rule by fiat rather than committee. I'm betting she's had a hard life and some hard losses but manages to hold on.
