Chapter 19-2 Discussion

[nikvoodoo]

I'm gonna be a touch snarky and ask where are all those who supported the banishment theory as punishment? Come on out y'all and take You're I told you so's!


That being said, I'm about to get 50% of my theories wrong from the chapter 19 voodoo lounge ....so i'll line up for mine in a week.

But what i really miss more than anything is the zombies, i cant wait to see some zombie killing action.

The thing about all action all the time is you don't get invested in the characters. If you're not invested in the characters, the action (while exciting) only serves to makes things go boom (see any Michael Bay film). If you're invested in the characters in the production, you really care a lot when they get put in life or death situations. That's why you (and all the members of your Angel Fan Club) were invested in the battle with the Behemoth.

As much fun as it would be to go all video game on a bunch of zombies, that can't happen all the time or it would lose it's impact. I've always held the belief that We're Alive is primarily a human story. The interesting conflicts come from human vs human with the variable being the zombies.

Well said Nik.

imo:
Tower heard Broken Wing, so did Scratch.
If anyone shows up to look for MPK it's going to be an enemy of my enemy type of deal so they will ignore/pay possum until it's time to bust out a lil pipebomb action on the leaders apartment complex.
Mikey will remain in lockup, might talk to someone, might just be silent for awhile.
Marcus will reveal why he can't kill Mike yet at some point.
Pegs will tell Kelly, maybe they will do something other than suck and get caught doing something they shouldn't be right away.
Hopefully someone will hear that Marcus is a ***** who plays with puppies and not a soldier standing tall against the infection so it will fan the flames of rebellion so to speak.
HA!

Seriously can't wait for next week, and then the next chapter, and then the one after that too.
KC you ruined meh!
Treated me to so much amazing story telling up to this point and now I can't physically wait week to week anymore.
Truly a treat to wake up on Mondays to new episodes.

Horrid to think it will some day end...
:\

I'm going to stick with what i said in the podcast. MPK are going to get out some how with the doctor/help, and we are going to see the tower's perspective and Saul will be in big "trouble" and the MPK crew will arrive just in the nik of time, and it'll be super dramatic.

The end of this episode was soooo unfair, I just wanted to hear more! This colony angel is really fresh and I love it! Anyone think there might be some creepy cannibalistic colony vibe going on though? I thought it the other day and I can't help thinking that could be a shocking twist maybe?!

character development is needed in the story and all, i'm just not a big fan of the colony, i dont like it, i dont like the people in it, i dont like the way its run, i want the colony to burn, and recently we've had a one plot story, it's all been focused on michael, so i'm just looking forward to seeing the other cast again. i miss them

i'd be totally down with this idea cause i dont really like the colony all that much, and i wanna leave it as soon as possible, but heres my problem with that, we know that the people of the colony are suffering under Marcus's dictatorship, i dont think the story will have MPK escape with the doctor and the medicine, and just leave the colony to rot, cause what would be the point to the last 4 chapters telling us about marcus, and the dictatorship etc, they have to bring closure to the colony storyline somehow

I agree, I miss them as well. But I think we have a chapter or two before we get some zombie thrills. And I sadly don't think we're going to be meeting up with the Tower for a hot minute. We're now in suspense about the fate of the Tower. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the "What happened to the Tower?" question goes all the way to the season break. Whatever happens at the Colony is all finished and M/P/K (maybe more than that....maybe less...) will get to the Tower and find it ravaged and empty and that's the season.

wow that just blew my mind, i hadnt even thought of that. that would be a helluva season 3 opener, if it started off with burt recapping what happened, and then angel/kalani give their perspective on what happened, when they got back to the tower, and then MPK give their perspective. that would be really intense, i would actually really like that idea, EXCEPT that would also mean we have to focus on the colony for the next 4 chapters and then a summer break of no we're alive but then it would be pure awesomeness... ugh i really dont like the colony, it reminds me that, ehem, "there is no place like home" YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH

Why does everyone keep assuming that the Tower will leave or somehow fall in the absence of MPK?
Who needs a one arm ass, a can't cook-for-junk, and ummm Kelly around?!

Water might seem pressing but finding a water truck might not be to rough if they start looking in that direction, food is secured for months, and ammo if Burt is in command is I am sure already secured from his shop.

Just to b
I hope I'm correct but I bet the Tower will be better when they return then when they left.

[Ra1th]

no one's saying the tower fell because MPK wasnt there, but if the tower got hit by another attack led by INK, then there would be a problem even if MPK, was home at the tower, there wouldnt have been anythign they could have done about it
