Chapter 32-3 Captive Hearts

[nikvoodoo]

What is the story line we've been focused on all season long? Saul and Lizzy. What story line still has to be resolved? Scratch and Lizzy. Burt's story is told. He has one final role to play: sacrifice his broken, tattered body to get saul and lizzy back together.

If we want to talk about storytelling then Burt dying is the only logical outcome to me. Scratch has to live to fulfill her story arc with pegs.

I'd be very surprised if Chapter 33 didn't start in The Colony, picking up where we left off in the chaos that is occuring. I feel that Chapter 33 will be a mini-war while C.J., Saul, Lizzy, Victor fight their way to Burt, the sat phone and escape, with the chapter ending with them calling up Michael from Dunbar. Be surprised if events at The Colony outlasted Chapter 33.

I imagine an epic scene where Burt has a gun and confronts Scratch. However, a Zombie is approaching and it will get Scratch first. She is begging him to either save her or kill her before it turns her. He waits....then kills the Zombie Scratch.

I only see one way scratch will find out where pegs went... Taking Lizzy hostage. Imagine that, Saul, after all that, he'd definatly spill the beans, also I think Burt would come up behind her during the confrontation and show her what's up...wishful thinking?

Well i have in my mind Scratch backed in a corner but having Lizzie and threatening her and baby, Saul getting killed in saving her unsuccesfully but Burt coming through. Gotta be some awesome dialogue here just before he blasts her about still being able to shoot..maybe followed by his last breath....then Riley and some other soldiers finally fly in.

Wow, pessimist...

Hi.

@Robzombie: Impressive work. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and ideas. Rp+1 in a minute.

About the Colony: Yeah, I guess the Colony will end pretty soon. There are too many conflicts within its walls. And if it does not go down, the remaining survivors (Colonists and Mallers alike) will have some hard time to keep up logistics and 'infrastructure' for whatever plan the slavers (aka Scratch) have.
The 'good or better ones' (Lizzy, Saul, CJ, Victor, Burt, Gatekeeper, Bixby - all with a huge questionsmark about their individual survival of the Colony conflicts) still have a base to retreat to - The Other Tower.

Although I have no proof for this, I still don't think that Saul is going down. Looking at his whole-hearted approach towards anything he remains a very important character up until the end of WA, or short before the ending. If he dies 'now' in The Colony, then this would feel wrong - especially with considering what he went through in order to get to Lizzy, which is why I don't think he will end as some kind of a tragic hero ...
Also imagine this: Lizzy must be a bad choice for any guy; because any guy who gets involved with her dies sooner or later ... Todd, Bricks, Saul?

All the best!

True, but I like realism. It'd be hilarious to if Scratch never gets her opportunity. As far as I'm concerned, we are done with Pegs, Datu, Kelly, Tanya, and Hope. I don't care if we ever see them again because their plane departing for Boulder was like them riding off into the sunset. They made it. Everyone else still has a job to do. It's just too bad Scratch's job entails someone who is finished. That should be the reality of it.

BUT like you say, from the perspective of story telling, it is still a loose end. I'm sure we'll hear from them again, if only Pegs.

The way Saul is, he'll just go in guns blazing and shoot Scratch. I don't think he would tell anything because he has no idea where Pegs is.

If Burt shows up during a confrontation and if he's going to fight I just want to know how he'll do that, being sick, almost dead from hunger, without his trigger finger and all. The most reasonable thing would be Lizzie and Victor (or Saul and CJ) carrying him out.

It would be dumb luck, tho', if Scratch carries Burt away.

if Burt fights it will be adrenaline, force of will and fists.
