Chapter 30- Short Term Memory Part 3

[Adventureless_Hero]

Meatless?!!! Come on people,....Kc just handed you a brontosaurus burger with a side of whale slaw!! All shoot 'em up, all the time gets old. My advice,...learn to appreciate the nuance. I'm sure you like (or hate) a lot of the characters for the simple reason that you've gotten to know them through the "slower" parts of the episodes. This episode gives you a heck of a lot if you read between the lines. First, Saul, CJ, and Victor have been shackled up for 3 months or so. Saul has now officially spent more time with these two than anybody else from the original crew, meaning, bonds have been created. A lot REALLY did go down this episode as some have you have noted. Not that I'm bias because I AM, but I liked where Kc took this one. Plus, there's a lot to figure out about these damn "little ones", and it's nice to gave Glenn and Pinche Pete back! Well, there you have it,...will you like some fries with that?

I'm glad you brought up the fact that more than a couple of months have passed since the trio at Dunbar apartments was shacked up. Three months in Z-world is like 3 years. Bonds have been made, which is why I was just as surprised as Saul was when CJ grew a layer of ice over her heart. I can tell she is hiding her true emotions by trying to be as logical as possible. But like Saul said, "She's right." They need a plan. Saul has his heart in the right place. I love nothing more than for the hero to go charging in to the castle to rescue his love, but this isn't a fairy tale. Homeboy would get killed.

I also have to give kudos to Victor. He's really transformed into a loyal buddy. He has never met Lizzy, but he's already willing to go back to the place he barely managed to escape by the skin of his teeth just so he could see his friend reunited with the girl he loves.

I agree that this entire chapter was meaty; it wasn't a BK Steakhouse burger but rather a gourmet steak to be appreciated and savored in slow bites. If you want a heart-stopping, artery clogging burger revisit chapter 24. (Shit, now I'm hungry, lol!)

From here, chapter 31 seems like it could go anywhere. I think we could start off at Ft. Irwin viewing these passed few events from Michaels reports, getting to know what his team was doing in L.A. Or it could pick up in the Colony with Lizzy writing in her diary. Or shit, this seems unlikely, but it could even make a departure and go to Boulder, though I very much doubt it. I feel like the book has closed for those characters for the time being. My hope is, that the story will pick up at the Colony.
