I am so late to posting on this episode I know it. I am glad to hear Datu again, and that Hope got her surgeries, but is still blind for now. Pickax to the neck...I love that image.
As the private number was discussed, I sensed nuke, but really I see Kimmet's view on it. If tens of thousands of zombies are going to come rushing out of Boulder, I would want the option to obliterate it too.

"The soldier version of them" I love that Michael ALWAYS has his army intelligence hat on (with a couple of exceptions, odd moments), and picks up on that. Even as they are scrambling to fight this threat, Sgt. Cross is wanting every detail, every theory on his enemy that he can get. Datu is a good character to see point of view from too, because he would be the one to notice the skin is thicker than it has any right to be. Also he gets another Melee kill to add to his record. In terms of melee kills, he ranks third in the series I believe. Chinwee at >4, I think, way more if you include those she claimed to take down while escaping from the apartment. Saul I believe is at 3, finishing off a possible in the parking garage, knifing another through the eye at the grocery store and finally finishing off the zombie that Chinwee got her sword stuck into. However Chinwee and Saul use a knife and a sword respectively, real weapons. Datu uses a pickax (weapon enough) and a FUCKING chair leg. King Datu the Resourceful indeed.

I don't think this would happen, but I like to imagine the scenario. Datu and Hope trapped in the basement. Datu finds a series of raw materials and tools, which he fashions into either a killing contraption or a tank. He then uses said device to breakout with Hope and shoot his way through the zombies without actually hitting anything living. Also at least one car must flip at a high speed and crash without anyone getting hurt. Then Michael says he loves it when a plan comes together while chomping on a cigar, having moved on from cigarettes because he is classy.
