Chapter 19 - 1 The Catalyst

I considered that an option as well. For now the Tower doesn't have any idea that there's something wrong. Hopefully Angel's instincts will kick in and he'll lead a team to search for them. Maybe even find the clues in the house where they stayed. They left in a rush afterall.

@KC
I gave this part another listen. I like the music and ambience. Sound effects were very well done. I clapped like an idiot at the shovel part.

Here's another fun thought about this episode: Think of how much Pegs has grown up since she first arrived. If she had gone on this mission before this maturation she's gone through she would have immediately spilled the beans about the Tower thinking she was being helpful. She acted very strong in the face of adversity when people asked her questions about where she came from. Both she and Kelly (apparently) sidestepped and gave vague answers to protect their home. That's a great development in what she's learned from Michael since the beginning of the outbreak.

Trauma changes people.

One thing I did like about Marcus was that he told Michael something about his leadership. I wish one of the others had said that to him a long time ago. Maybe this experience at the Colony will change him too.

I liked the new episode It gave me a lot of ideas. I'm gonna think them over before I post them though, I was also wondering if Michael was asleep for four days then thats more than enough time for Kalani and Angel to get back to the tower.

I need some time to think...

This could be the way ra1th's deepest dream comes true. Burt is not going to approve a search and rescue mission at all. No way, no how. But if Angel seizes control, he might do it....unless he remembers his military training and thinks of the big picture.

Trauma does change people, I'm just glad to see Pegs starting to show that survivor mentality now. She's shooting when she has to shoot, and she's protecting people by not giving out information readily.

How sad that it takes Marcus to instill Michael's confidence in himself. Michael is a natural leader.

4 days is more than enough time for Angel and Kalani to make it back. They made it to the Refueling Station and the army base in one day. You'd think they'd be back unless something happened on the way back, or if Kc is taking liberties with the timing of things between The Colony and the Tower plot lines. Though as of now it seems like they are both coexisting time wise.

just stating the obvious that Marcus is such a liar.He never served in the army. During his convo with Michael i am sure his answers were taken from sean's background thats why he didnt know what M.O.S. meant when michael asked him.

Also not sure if this was mentioned but do you think that whole entire incident with pegs and the shovel was marcus's way to get michael to accept the job?

another thing, victor is so the key guy for michael's escape.

i like the colony story arch so far but seriously we need an update about the tower and SAUL!!!!!

Unless that tazer belonged to Pegs originally and I've misread Marcus completely then I think that is just how people are kept in line in these parts.
(Notice how the guardians responded to the call quickly and how everyone seemed to have a "role")

Very nice ideas all around, but I think having all this time between episodes is leading us into some of these judgments too quickly.

For example:
What if Marcus has never left since establishing home base?
What if the signs are actually there without his knowing? (Came from the other direction? Weren't up when he came in? Sean installed them without a word and was demoted for that?)

No one seems to want to talk about those signs let alone anything Colony.
Here is our antithesis to The Tower..

Nah, I don't think so. She got tazed because she was talking with Michael instead of working. Michael then had to say he was filling the position, or else the guardians would royally kick his ass. Also, it gave him the power to protect Pegs and Kelly better, and some other privileges he can abuse to get them out of there.

Listened to the episode Monday. It was a great one, When Michael hit that guy with the shovel I was like hell yeah. But I agree with the others I would like to hear an update on Saul and the tower.

As an aside, some were wondering what Hope spilled all over Marcus. One person speculated that it might be blood, but on a second listen, I think it was urine and possible poop. Tanya had just asked Hope to go and change somebody's bedpan. This would also account for Hope's extreme embarrassment and for Marcus' freak-out.

I assumed it was piss as well. Serves him right.
