Chapter 30-Short Term Memory part 1

You can also see a the body on the right is wrapped in plastic possibly so it won't spread

I thought the body was the injured soldier (female) whose lower body was crushed by a zombie.

[Osiris]

Fine. It's the inside of a chinook.

See how easy it is?

[Witch_Doctor]

Could it be that these "growing" zombies were children in-eutero when their mothers' were turned? COuld Pinstripes be numbering the ones born this way?

I keep wondering if there is a reproductive connection between the boheomoths and little ones.

• Big ones have stretchmarks-- rapid skin growth.
• Riley noted a simmilarity in behavoir between salivating dogs ready to breed and salivating zombies smelling human sweat pharamones.
• Zombies were described as having some sort of 'fun' or 'playing' with their victims before killing and eating them.
• The slimy goo could have been some sort of zombie afterbirth splooge left by the lil ones on top of the MRE boxes in 'There Might be Others.'

Oh, god. That brings up terrible mental images!!!!

So that was a healthy leap forward in the chronology wasn't it?

Yes, Nick, it certainly was. I was a bit disappointed by the big jump in time, but it does make sense from a narrational perspective (and yes, I just coined a new word, Osiris, so put your grammarian referee whistle back in your pocket!). With the time jump, we get to now skip over a lot of the tedious revelatory material, such as:

• Vic/Saul/CJ long conversations about their past histories and what happened up until this point
• CJ getting the new guys acclimated to her resources at Dunbar and all the satellite farms / coops / safe houses
• Riley's inital training on how to be a soldier at Irwin
• Lots of boring missions of Vic/Saul running errands
• All the introductory crap with Datu and the gang over at Boulder

Of course, we also totally miss out on what is happening with Burt, who has probably been tortured 8 ways from Sunday by now... [and Kc, a perfect element to advance the plot at this point would be to have an episode where Burt manages to escape from the Mallers, eventually to stagger all the way back to rejoin Vic/Saul/CJ and give them crucial intel on the location of the Mallers and Lizzy. Write it up, dude... you can thank me later ]

I've been really hoping there will be some intensity in the next few chapters.

Generally, the long period of time a story covers, the slower the pace, so it is good that Kc skips us ahead to the good bits. Do you really want 20 minutes of Michael summarizing all the new procedures and crap he has learned of since coming to Irwin?

That is correct-

LOL! Thanks a million, I wanted to avoid the whole helicopter talk we had (that I had a large hand in) when the Tower guys found the USCG bird.

Disgusting thought, hopefully KC doesn't go down that road. However nothing is out of the question until it is disproven.

I am of the midnset that Wh33t is. That is that the number 12 of this "little one"'s hand is possibly the 12th version.

I don't have much to back this up with; but with all this time passing I feel that the "little one"'s didn't grow so much as maybe Ink just made a 12th batch of playmates. If they had been growing than I would only assume that the nails would have grown also thus no longer sharp. (easily could be refiled I know) Along with the Tattoo's of the numbers should be stretched and somewhat faded if stretched.

Let me know what you think.

The number would be faded and stretched, yes. Making it hard for Victor to read....which it was, no? yes that would probably have to do with the dark, but could be due to the growing as well.

I like the idea of the iterations, but I dont think that's the case. I'm still of the opinion that the little ones are really some crazy creation by Ink and he just numbered them as he made them....and they're growing.

Also, since they're not so little anymore, I propose an acronym turned moniker: Little Ones became Not So Little Ones, becomes: NSLO. The NSLO's. (en-slows for vocal conversations). Just my mundane-not-adding-much-of-value 2-cents.

Great episode, but two weeks?! I sure hope part 2 is a long one! or maybe...release part 2 AND 3?

[Bullethead]

I am relistening to the episode now and I just wanted to touch on the thought some had about Saul using the new phone to contact Michael. Didn't he open up by saying something along the lines of 'I'm still looking for any sign of Michael and the others' then follow that with, 'let me go back to november just before it got crazy'?

This would tell me that he will not get ahold of Michael this chapter.
