Chapter 32-3 Captive Hearts

[Witch_Doctor]

I have to say that the music playing after Briggs dies and Bixby or Gate Keeper calls to Victor is awesome. The drums really set the mood. Props to who ever wrote and/or selected it.

At one point, I imagined helicopters flying low towards the colony for some reason. I was, wishfully thinking, that Micheal/Kimmet sent the cavalry.

Here is what I am hoping for upcoming chapters

1) the next chapter will flash back to fort irwin and Kimmet will learn about the colony and send Michael and a team of his choosing on a mission to take over the colony

2) the battle between Scratch & the Mallers vs. Saul & co. will be going bad for Saul and just when it looks like it is all over for team Saul, the cavalry from fort Irwin will arrive and save the day (Two Towers style)

If there's a mistake I made in the writing, or you think a plot whole exists, just let me know and who knows, I might be able to patch it, but I'm pretty sure this one's in the clear.

You should write dialogue in Hollywood. I was referring more to the Angel not telling anyone he knew the Mallers but now that I look at it, Angel was killed before he could redeem himself on that fact. Where did his journal end up I wonder? This is great stuff, Kc. Since I found it on Stitcher I have devoured every chapter.

I do not see Kimmet just letting them go on a mission to the Colony, but here is a reaching theory on how they could. For some reason the Fort has limited Satellite phones. Maybe some got lost due to soldiers dying ( like we saw earlier this season) Michael knows that the Colony has a communications room. Maybe he convinces Kimmet to allow a mission there to retireve communication deivces. Just an idea. I do love the idea of the next chapter being at fort irwin and ending where we are currently at with the colony.

Wait I just thought of something, Does Vic know that Angel was there too or will no one from the tower know that Angel was among them?

Lizzy does...

Either the Mallers, the colonists, or the zombies come out on top after the initial firefight. The fight won’t last long as it’s out in the open, between some bldgs., nothing like the battle for the tower. Either way I think this is the end of the colony with whoever surviving getting back to Ft. Irwin...eventually. They still have to get the other sat phone and have Glen make the repairs. Kimmet can be reasoned with and Michael has those skills to convince him of a rescue operation I have no doubt. There is no risk to Ft Irwin to do so except the possible loss of a helicopter (prob a Chinook) and a few soldiers possibly Michael but I doubt it. Guessing some of the soldiers we've already heard from (I'm betting Riley and cpl Puck are included).

Beginning of Chapter 30 Saul’s narration is from his journal which covers from Nov 27 (spotting the Chinook) to sometime in December. I’m sure it’s early December as he mentions early August and it’s been 5 months…so maybe 1-2 weeks into December, when he gets back to the tower with Glen that he makes this entry. This is important because if he’s not around to personally account for this time, then it’s Victor and the journal that we learn of these events. As Michael says around 11:55, “the following was pieced together from various accounts�. I think all of Saul’s scenes include Victor, while Victor does get a solo scene in the water truck leading me to believe that Saul does not make it out of this alive.

As I recall Burts monologue (ch 21, part 3) about still being alive for some purpose, “…maybe, maybe� Burt is still up for something big, and I still think it's to take down Scratch hard. Also in Michaels same monologue (ch 30, part 1) he says “it’s important to understand what happened and how it changed everything�. I think this ultimately is about getting Lizzie back to Ft Irwin with the baby and how important that baby is. If Saul didn't get the sat phone from the dead soldier, Lizzie and baby do not end up back in friendly hands. Like it or not (who liked Angel getting killed, not me), I think we’ll be done with Saul, Scratch, the Mallers, the colony, and maybe a couple more of the good guys, and the birth of a baby (human-zombie hybrid*, normal but immune baby, who knows?) by the end of the season.

*Scratches “he’s fine� comment looking at the ultrasound still has me wondering.

Last time we really heard from Ink was at the hospital with his "army". Human and zombie have to come to a head somehow, and now we have two armies...The humans have, or will have whatever army they can muster from the surviving 150,000 or so to counter it (bring back old tower members that choose to join the fight??), and I think KC being prior service would love to orchestrate a modern battle between humans and zombie (being Season 4).

You're the first one who has made me think Burt might actually be the end of Scratch. After her "interrogations" of him, I feel he is justified enough to get the honor. I would still like to see Scratch end up in the hands of the "Arena Biters" being toyed with and tortured just as she has done to so many. Scratch, IMO, is such a devastatingly strong character I would be disappointed to see her exit at this stage. Only someone of similar awesomeness deserves to get over Scratch. Burt is the only acceptable "human" I can think of. Otherwise, only Pinstripes is worthy.

Yeah, I was saying this last May:
"I can't see anyone else but Burt taking our Scratch...Riley??? I can't help but think that that is like saying Princess Leah took out Darth Vader...with all due respect, no way, good story telling woulnd't even have Han Solo doing it, no one but Luke is suitable for the deed, just like I feel that with the relationship that these two characters have had, it can only end up being Burt. With his hate as it is for Scratch, hearing about Angel would only fuel his fire, and Burt is a total survivor, fight to his dying breath kind of guy...he's not becoming a turncoat and he's totally taking her out....I don't think it will be anytime soon though as Scratch is a primary protagonist, for the time being. Maybe end of third season (which is actually soon) but some questions or developments will need to happen at the same time, like the introduction, or re-introduction of a new/old protagonist. Maybe bringing Duria back into the immediate picture...end of season 3?"

"I still think that the relationship between the two was done for a reason. Sure she has a background with Angel, but the conflicts with Scratch were mostly with Burt, (first time we meet Scratch at the tanker, fighting in the stairwell) and I think it needs to come to finale. I got $100 pretend dollars for any takers??? I'm stubborn, so I will still say Burt and Scratch take each other out, come on guys, $100 pretend dollars"

"In chapter 23, part 3 of 3. After they escape the hospital with the chopper, Burts monologue goes something like this... "I almost accepted my death for the 3rd time in my life...maybe there was a reason I was still here after all this...maybe....maybe..."
I'm tellin ya, something important with Burt is gonna happen that revolves around the Scratch/Angle/Lizzie story line....something pivotal.
...maybe he's the how that re-unites Lizzie and Saul...maybe at the same time takes out Scratch...maybe sacrifice's himself to make this all happen...maybe...maybe"

Come on KC, don't make me look bad, Burts got some skull fucking to do!
