Chapter 31 Family Ties Part 2

[yarri]

Fantastic episode! I wasn't ready for it to conclude it went by so fast! I can't see all the post for some reason so please forgive me if this has been brought up.
Perhaps now we can put this whole� Poor Scratch" thing to bed. There are others in this story that have risen above difficult pasts and become heroes. I think by her actions in this episode she has proven once and for all what she is. A sadistic psychopath. She wants one thing, a chance to kill Pegs and avenge her brother. She clearly has no regard for anyone she has to destroy to get there. I am not even sure she wouldn't kill Bricks or even Durai in order to accomplish this. When she said she had a spare knife during this episode I thought ht she was about to pull it out and stick it in Bricks. Her insanity may be what finally brings the Mallers to ruin.

Nah I still feel bad for her. She's a damaged lost little girl. When she said she had a spare I kept wondering..... "Well if you have it why didn't you pull it?" I think Bricks standing up to her scared her. I mean he can pull the arms off biters in hand to hand.

... you're insane.

Nik keeps saying she'll die by her own hand... Screw that she needs to die by Saul... then Burt, then Angel, then Michael, then Lizzy, then Shirley... One death is not enough.

Man, there's a lot of good stuff being discussed here. For fear of posting a long as discussion regarding some of the cool shtuff here, I'm going to ignore it and hope it's all discussed in the next episode of WND.

I am still curious to see if anything happens to Tardust. It's my understanding that aside from being the explosives expert at the Mallony (Maller owned Colony = Mallony) he is also the communications guy. He mentioned, I forget when, that he was the one listening to all the Tower's "stupid bird talk" over the radios. So it would be reasonable to assume he has a similar position at the Mallony. I'm thinking he was put in charge of Glen. Since Tardust is such a bastard, I imagine working for him was hell and is what finally forced Glen to do something so drastic as to flee the Mallony.

Anyway, so assuming Tardust works at the communications center Saul, Victor, and CJ will likely run in to him in their attempt to get the other SAT phone. This could be pretty interesting as Tardust is the one who tried to rape Lizzie. Who knows what kind of craziness could happen should Saul discover that little fact. OR what if they rescue Lizzy first, then go for the SAT phone and run into Tardust? It could be Lizzy's opportunity to castrate Tardust!

How am I insane because I feel bad for her, feeling bad doesn't mean I don't think she has earned the just rewards of a bullet between the eyes for her actions. I wonder what she was like before all the bad things. She was a child once a little girl I want to know what she was like then before the bad things.

We can only hope.

Sorry, insane wasn't the right word..... far sighted perhaps?

me having a visual defect doesn't explain why me feeling bad for her is bad

Nature vs. Nurture?

I do think any person has the potential to grow up to be a great person, but in Scratch's case, that ship has sailed...off the edge of the world!

It's unfortunate that her family was screwed up like that. I mean, she gave her cousin just what he deserved,but she's broken now. I hate to sound like a know-it-all but I have sensed this from her since way back when she first suspected Lizzy was pregnant. I didn't think she had an abortion though. I just imagined she was unable to bring a child to term.

I do feel for Scratch, or the Scratch that could have been. Who knows if we'll ever learn her real name. The day she became Scratch, the day her family left her with a daily reminder on her face, I figure that girl she could have been died for good.

You guys are all going to feel so stupid when the truth about Scratch is revealed.

My personal experience is old, but I scanned the latest NRA pistol competition rule book and things still seem to reflect the old emphasis on weak hand shooting: http://www.nrahq.org/compete/RuleBoo...istol-book.pdf

Where? I searched the document and the word "weak" didn't even come up once.
