Chapter 34-1 It Only Takes One

It breaks my heart to say it, but whenever Datu speaks, I'm kinda rooting for the zombies

Do you guys think the map that Cpt. Long's team made is lost or do you think that they will bring the Naval Base back into the mix? Pantex was briefly mentioned and now it's extremely important. Was the map just a plot device to connect Irwin and the Inklings in LA? Will the naval base have importance? Kimmet is planning something for the Pacific. Thoughts?

I have been wondering about the reference to the Long Beach Navy Base. In our world that base closed in 1997 and was converted into a commercial container port. Hopefully it's still an active Navy base in the We're Alive universe—they used to have aircraft carriers there!

As for the map, I'm guessing that Carl recovered that from the crash site, but it's been overlooked in all the excitement.

Maybe the map is the one device that helped Zombie-Griggs to find Boulder ... ?

You must be new to the show. You start off being annoyed by him, then after a few months you love him.

I concur absolutely. Without Datu, it would have been much more difficult for the characters to survive. And Datu is able to use everything from a screwdriver to a pickaxe - if he needs to.
He is one of the most humane acting characters along Riley, I guess.

@Deacon_Tyler: Please take a look at http://wayland.ws/video/were-alive-walive-chapter-25/

Every time I watch Jay as Datu, I reminds me of the unintentionally warmhearted jokesters in Shakespears plays.And of course, he is Mr Resourcefull.

Note: Hope sound older to anyone? More mature a little bit? To me she did, good voice/acting.

Looking forward,

The next three chapters are going to be great. We have what 1 more season left? I am curious as to if we will ever find out how this all started.

It seems that every time the heroes start to do research or make a dent, everything stops and is inevitably lost. Research attempt 1 - Colony is over run / corrupted ; Research attempt 2 - Tower falls ; Research attempt 3 - Dunbar tower over run ; Research attempt 4 - Boulder Beat Down.

Here we are ending season 3, 1 more to go and at this rate with the research / start over ratio as it is (1:1) we may never get the ultimate answer. Hope this bad boy doesn't end like the Sopranos in the middle of a sen.........

Do make things worse ... Do you remember Michael saying something along this line: "I gave Tanya stuff to research against my better judgement ..."

In the end I would feel very, very good if the mystery behind the zeeh-pocalypse remains a secret, because I enjoy this whole speculation thing ... I wonder if WA would be only half as much fun, if this thrill evolving around the "how did it all start?" was not there ... And the revelation of the real cause might be like ... *OMFG*facepalm*DUDE!*, you know what I mean? I could be very wrong and the revelation could be just the sugar on top ...

I also do not think that this quest has ever to be answered. It is a (cool) story story device, but essential, as Michael Swan uses to say, it is "A story about survival." For my point of view, WA simply works, because it about more than killing zombies on a weekly basis. Besides, I think that the majority of listeners are rather speculating about when, how and how long Burt will take revenge on Scratch. This will be very, very unpleasant.

IF Burt's gonna have his revenge on Scratch, THEN for whom will it be unpleasant? Although I would like to see Grandpa beating the shit out of Scratch, I am pretty sure his revenge will backlash on him - he is old, for nearly half a year he was put into custody and was also tortured ... He is weak and pretty likely next to being broken ... But Scratch on the other side is young, pretty powerfull and very capable of doing plenty of things ... I may be wrong, future will tell us, but most likely not within chapter #34 ...

All the best!

In the medium term, Burt will not be able to do anything. He is broken and has lost a lot of body weight. In other words, he is a wreck. Looking back at 2009, his life must seem to him like an extrem roller coaster ride. At first, he is a mourning widower, who by the events undergoes quite a transformation and becomes even the leader of the survivers at one point. It is a pity that the rope came lose, leaving him behind when the tower was evacuated.

I am not not sure if or when Burt will get his revenge on Scratch and do not see whether this will even compensate for what she has done to him.
